Resources
The internet is a great source of information, but the sheer amount of information can turn daunting. Here are some tried and true resources available around us that we'd love to recommend!
Referrals
Sante Naturopathic and Acupuncture
Based in Norwalk. Dr. Cornish is not only an intelligent, warm, and a respected Doctor, but also a dear friend of mine. I've seen her work wonders not only with her patients, but with her own family.
Preferred Pediatrics
Based in Milford. Very open to natural therapeutics and are very familiar to it, making the collaboration with natural remedies and conventional medication effortless. Have met, and worked with many of the practitioners there and have found them all to be pleasant and knowledgeable.
Vibe
Jacquelyn is a Wholistic Wellness Practitioner with a multitude of healing modalities which includes Reiki, ThetaHealing, and so much more. Her warm personality helps with navigating through the healing process.
Extreme Fitness
Martial Arts
Master Russ had been an instructor for both my kids and myself. Although my visits maybe few and far between he is welcoming, encouraging, and has just the right amount of assertive nature to keep you pushing harder.
​
Very accommodating for training with injuries. Was accommodating with my shoulder injury and my daughter's knee injury. Hopefully this referral will make him go just a little bit easier on me!
Monroe Summer Day Camp
For any families a reliable and affordable childcare search becomes an essential and grueling endeavor. As much as there are benefits to a trial and error approach, that is not the method that you want to take for the care of your children.
​
I am a big proponent of play for kids. The amount of knowledge a child acquires from play with other children are immeasurable and essential. There is something to playing with like aged groups, that teaches them things that a parent/adult can not. This camp, and the people of this camp truly cares for the children there, and makes sure that they are having fun in a safe setting. I can't recommend them enough.
Honeytree Preschool and Daycare
Having three kids under 8, I have tried multiple daycares and preschool depending on location and pricing. The final one I settled with was Honeytree Preschool. Not only was the pricing more affordable than others, but the flexibility with their schedule, and the constant communication and updates of the kids made me feel the most comfortable with leaving my children there.
​
They will treat you like family, and you will quickly see how comfortable your kids are with the teachers. My daughter was also very ready to move on to kindergarten when she graduated (although she still asks to spend some days at Honeytree instead of school).
Gathered Harvest Granola
A local and sweet business that makes a wide range of granola. The owner has a PhD in food science, and has been at many local Farmer's Markets and is even devoured by my own kids. Although I don't always reach for the healthiest option here, there are healthy and delicious choices available.
