Thankful

by

Dr. Elisha Cook ND  and the Plattsville Natural Health Clinic team have so much to be thankful for and celebrate as we end the 2018 year. We want to express that gratitude by holding what we hope to be an annual 12 days of Giveaways and Patient Visit Draw. These contests are open to both patients and patrons of either clinic. One requires a patient visit and the other simply involves following us on facebook and the rules that apply there. Please see below for the details of both draws/giveaways.

Patient Visit Draw: During the month of December, any patient who has a Naturopathic visit (at either Meyers Chiropractic and Health Specialists in Woodstock or Plattsville Natural Health Clinic) will be entered into a draw for a basket full of naturopathic goodies! The draw ends December 31, 2018.

Facebook Giveaways – The 12 Days of Giveaways: Enter our facebook contest for the 12 days of giveaways by finding Dr. Elisha Cook Naturopathic Doctor (https://www.facebook.com/DrElishaCookND/ ) or Plattsville Natural Health Clinic (https://www.facebook.com/PlattsvilleNaturalHealthClinic/ ) on Facebook! We will be giving away a gift everyday for 12 days, all you need to do is like the facebook page, share the post of the day, and comment on the post. All three of these need to be done for a valid entry. The dates for this contest are as follows: December 3-7, 2018; December 10-14, 2018; and December 17-19, 2018

Thank you for the support over the last three years and I look forward to providing naturopathic health care to the Woodstock, Plattsville, and surrounding areas for years to come. – Dr. Elisha Cook ND

Thank You

Well, I passed all of my licensing exams! So, what does that mean? Now I need to be approved for registration with the College of Naturopaths and apply for the appropriate insurance. Once this is complete, I am ready to practice as a Naturopathic Doctor and can then officially call myself a Doctor! This has been a long time coming and has required facing my own demons, overcoming past traumas, and discovering who I am aside from my profession. I have had successes, but also made some mistakes that have helped me in the long run. Ultimately, I am truly thankful for these experiences and for the practitioner they will have helped shaped me into. No “acceptance speech” would be without its “Thank you”, and so, what follows is my condensed list.

To start with, first and foremost is to do what most Grammy – award winning artists do, and that is, thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I do realize that I may receive judgement, criticism, disdain, etc. for this comment; but I truly cannot take the credit for what has transpired. My strength is in Him alone, and I could not have overcome what I have without Him. That being said, I have received so many prayers and support from my family and church family over the past 8 years, and I am truly grateful to have so much love surrounding me. My family has shaped me into the woman that I am, and I cannot thank them enough for pushing me when I needed it and encouraging me along the way, even if my own mother thought I was going to be a witch doctor 🙂 (it’s okay she is now my biggest fan).

Throughout this whole journey, I have had my faithful and loving husband by my side. I cannot say how truly blessed I am to have had him over the past 8 years to comfort me through the tears and walk with me through the pain, but also to rejoice with me in the victories.

Finally, as always, I want to thank all of the beautiful souls that I have met along the way, specifically, the patients that I have had the pleasure of working with. I have learned so much and have been so blessed by you all. Walking with you has helped shaped me into the practitioner I want to be and will be. Also, thank you and much love to you my readers for all of your constant support!

I will keep you all posted in the following weeks as to when I am accepting patients!

Transitions: End of One Journey, the Beginning of Another

by

Elisha-Cook-black-and-white-about-PhotoAs most of you may know, this is my last week of internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic. The feeling really is bitter sweet. I will miss many of the wonderful people that I have had the pleasure of walking with, but I also embrace the opportunity to be back home and transition into the next phase of my life.

This past year has been quite the journey, full of ups and downs. I have learned much about myself, patient care, and the healing capabilities that everyone has. I have laughed with many, cried with some, and cheered on many who strived for better in regards to their health. Often I feel we take for granted those opportunities in life that we each have to walk with others, speak encouraging words, and cheer others on as they run their race. I am so blessed to have had this position where I can embrace this opportunity to provide hope. I so appreciate the opportunity I have had to be in the position with so many patients, and I would like to thank each of you for allowing me to be a part of your healing journey. Though you may not realize it, you have taught me a great deal and I appreciate the lessons taught. I also appreciate the vulnerability each of these patients showed in the sense that they opened up about themselves and the aspect of their lives that they may not have been so fond of. I also want to thank you for being a part of my growth and development into the practitioner that I will become.

From here, I will go back home, prepare for my board and licensing exams, and pursue the career that I have always dreamed of, which is becoming a Naturopathic Doctor. I will keep you all updated as to when that dream becomes a reality (hopefully November 2015), where I will be, and how I can support you through your journey. For now, I will continue to write blogs, provide information, and stay in touch with you. If you are interested in subscribing to my blogs, send me an email through the contact portion of this website, indicating that you would like to be on the mailing list.

Finally, I want to thank you all for being a part of these past four years, and for helping me to grow, learn, and become who I am today. Thank you and God Bless. – Elisha Cook
