Some of my Favorite Things Going into 2026...aka, individuals doing amazing things!
In 2025, I was blessed and honored to meet some amazing women who are doing incredible (amazing!) things in/for human health: Kelly Brogan, MD, Eileen Day McKusick, and Katie Hess. With the New Biology Clinic, I taught at Prana Maya Resort in Belize last September. I met Kelly and Eileen, along with a myriad of other incredible humans (more on that later). When I shared with Kelly that I work with flower essences personally and in my practice, she introduced me to Katie of Lotus Wei. Woot woot!
Good humans. Great hearts. Incredible contributions! Check out these gals and their work as you craft/intend/create YOU in the new year.
Kelly Brogan: https://www.kellybroganmd.com/
Kelly. Beautiful, intelligent, articulate. I learned of Kelly’s work when I read A Mind of Her Own, The Truth About Depression and How Women Can Heal Their Bodies to Reclaim Their Lives, almost 10 years ago. She has written books, podcasts, and so much more. Here is a podcast she did with Dr. Tom Cowan on her new book, The Reclaimed Woman https://drtomcowan.com/blogs/podcasts/80-kelly-brogan-md
Eileen McKusick: https://www.biofieldtuning.com/
LOVE Electric Body, Electric Health: Using the Electromagnetism Within (and Around) You to Rewire, Recharge, and Raise Your Voltage. Read it. Eileen is one of the foremost researchers in the Human Biofield. (How cool is that?! Science showing what we have always known/felt…the torus/electrical field around the body). Harmonize the field, and come into balance. Resonance. Congruence.
While we were in the van on our way to the rainforest in Belize, Eileen took out her Sonic Slider and put it right on my shoulder where it was injured about 3 years ago (I had not shared that it had been injured). Sonic Slider. Get one and use it anywhere you have pain or stagnation (not sure about tumors - check her site). Check to see if there is a Biofield practitioner in your area here: https://biofieldtuning.wildapricot.org/practitioner-directory. And yes, it even works long distance. I have been blessed to work remotely with Dr. Tatiana Agafonovna, DC, of Transendance in Florida and the New Biology Clinic!
Katie Hess: https://www.lotuswei.com/
While I haven’t worked with Lotus Wei essences long, they are beautiful and resonant, and Katie has a heart of gold. Take Katie’s Flower Essence Quiz to find out which flowers have gifts for you at this time.. And while you are at it, get some Joy Juice for the new year!
And though Brigit Viksnins http://alchemicalalignment.com/ has been a dear friend and colleague for nearly two decades (so she is not new to me), she has recently authored a book (with Heather Gordon) that is not to be missed for those who work in or are interested in melting freeze (the often forgotten part of “fight/flight/freeze” in trauma work): The Map of the Seven Realms: Melting Freeze at the Dawn of the Golden Age.
Brigit Viksnins, MAT, SEP, RCST®, BCTMB created the flourishing professional training program "Alchemical Alignment, Somatic Work for Trauma Resolution and Embodiment of Spirit," which harmonizes with any mind, body, or spirit therapeutic modality using Biodynamic Craniosacral, Pre and Perinatal, shamanic, and Aikido principles, along with Somatic Experiencing-informed trauma resolution skills. For further information, please visit AlchemicalAlignment.com.
Heather de Guzman Gordon is a writer and visual artist. Limited edition books include: The word and no gasping; and yet, is also: a statement of poetics; Come down winter; Toward writing; Try this; Cleveland; and Limit.
Blessings to you and yours in this new year! May it be filled with intention, joy, creativity, and ease! Hopefully some of the above suggestions will contribute to an amazing year for you!
