A Field Guide to Vitalist Health Care
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing
Your body is not a machine. It's a landscape.
And healing is not about fixing broken parts—it’s about restoring right relationship with yourself, your rhythms, and the living world around you.
This free field guide is your map.
Rooted in nature-based traditions, clinical insight, and animist ways of knowing, A Field Guide to Vitalist Health Care introduces you to a radically different paradigm of healing—one that honors your sensitivity, respects the intelligence of your symptoms, and trusts in the body’s inherent capacity to restore balance.
What You’ll Find Inside:
An introduction to the terrain-based model of health and illness—explained through ecology, not pathology
A gentle overview of the extracellular matrix (ECM) as the “soil” of the body—and why it matters in chronic illness
Insight into why dis-ease is not the enemy, but a call to restoration
A map of natural therapeutics that work with the body, not against it—including homeopathy, gemmotherapy, biotherapeutic drainage, and cell salts
An invitation to reorient to your body as kin, not as a problem to solve
For those who:
Are tired of symptom suppression and quick fixes
Feel things deeply and sense there's more to healing than mainstream medicine offers
Want to understand their chronic symptoms through the lens of ecology, trauma, and repair
Seek a wise woman, vitalist, nature-honoring approach to health care

This isn’t a protocol or a prescription. It’s a compass.
It’s a way home.
