I made a meme of the "Can we practice sentiment without denying science?" (which I will post on instagram and give credit for) but as a student naturopath this piece speaks to me heavily. In naturopathy we have a series of philosophical principles - one being 'doctor as teacher'. Yet we often end up focusing heavily on reductionist models of medicine in order to be 'taken seriously'. Thank you for this piece!

Caitlin! I'm so happy that resonated with you and feel free to message me a link so that I can follow & share.

It is so frustrating. For the past 10+ years I've gone through being a student, to new professional, to specialist and am so frustrated by having people whose sentiment I share repeating the same dogma as the people they criticize. I'd love to continue to hear your thoughts on this as a student!

I have been reading a book titled ‘radical healer ship’ in an effort to remain grounded in the philosophical values of holism. In Australia the wellness industry seems to be heavily trend dependent
