Natural Health Practitioner Catherine Medicine Heart, Contributes a Chapter to a New Anthology

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - June 15, 2017 - PRLog -- In the new book, Nurse SPARKS, Catherine Medicine Heart R.N., CHT, PNP, M.Div., writes about her introduction to earth medicine and how it changed her life.

In a story titled, "Mother Earth Speaks," Catherine shares her journey from a young nurse working in a state psychiatric hospital to finding healing in the mountains of northern Oregon.

Catherine says, "These decades of teaching & practicing natural health are a deep reminder of my lifelong passion for honoring plant wisdom healing and to the phenomenal experiences of supporting the homebirth movement. In honoring my own deep commitment and dedication to supporting life, and appreciating the natural world, I understand clearly the impact of my early nursing career that influenced my chosen path. I walk with deep gratitude for my life, dedicated to this path of natural healing and human birthing support. It has and continues to be, an opportunity to experience life with a richness that feels divinely inspired and surpasses my greatest imaginations & dreams. Our Mother Earth speaks, and I shall always listen."

Catherine Medicine Heart has been a natural health practitioner and educator, in numerous fields of complementary and alternative medicine, for the past 45 years. For 25 of those years, she provided homebirth midwifery support to scores of women, wanting to have alternative birthing experiences.
Her many fields of alternative medicine education and practice have included: herbal medicine, nutrition & healthy lifestyle, homeopathy, clinical transpersonal hypnotherapy, neurofeedback & biofeedback, traumatic birth release therapy, and Native American healing practices. In 2007, she received a Masters of Divinity degree, becoming an ordained Minister of Peace, through the Beloved Community of Spiritual Peacemaking. Presently, as a grandmother to three grandsons, and a part-time functional medicine nurse, she enjoys educating others about the use of pure essential oils for health and well-being, and provides natural health consulting.
