5 Crucial Ways To Support Your Child As They Head Back To School

Positive Parenting / By Laura Koniver, MD

It’s mid-august, and that means back-to-school season, so the next three blog posts are here to help support your transition to that this time brings. There can be a lot of stress associated with back-to-school season. For some, back-to-school means an increased risk of in person bullying (as well as social media bullying) and scary headlines that include school shootings, piled on top of the normal stressors of navigating growing up and figuring out a career goal and growing from a child’s body into an adult body and all the growing pains in between, as well as …

My Latest Painting: I Am Nothing, I Am Everything, All At Once

Healing Artwork, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Today I want to share with you the latest painting I just painted. You can probably tell from some of my recent blog posts that I’ve been thinking a lot about the preciousness of our fleeting time on this earth. About how our bodies reflect God’s divine design, and about the beauty that is inherent in the death transition. So I wanted to paint it. To somehow capture that moment when your physical body releases your energetic body and the dissolution of the tangible flows into the intangible. How must that feel? I think how it must feel …

Let Me Help You Move Through (& Release) Difficult Emotions

Healing Artwork, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

A few years ago I became a Death Doula. You would think as a physician we would be taught in detail about the death and dying process in medical school, but we weren’t. Not at all. We were taught how to pronounce someone dead, how to perform advanced life support to try to stave off death, how to sign a death certificate… but never about the intricacies of it: what the body feels and experiences as the soul prepares to leave it what the dying process looks like what order the organ systems shut down in and how …

Reflections On The Death Transition: What I’ve Seen, What I Feel

Healing Artwork, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

As a physician, I’ve had quite a few experiences with patients who were dying, as well as patients who had near death experiences and told me about them. In medical school, I had an attending physician who had a heart transplant. He said as they removed his heart on the operating table, he went somewhere totally different than earth. After putting his new heart in, the surgeon shocked it to get it to start beating again. He says he felt that shock and felt himself feeling pulled back into his physical body and when he woke …

7 Ways To Feel Hopeful Even Under Incredible Stress

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Mid-winter is the perfect time to post these tips, as often it is in the darkest of winter, post-holidays, that we can feel most bleak. It doesn’t have to be that way. Here is how to remain hopeful even during times of immense stress and darkness. To retain hope increases resiliency, and is one of the best ways to persevere through any type of adversary in life, whether that be a personal tragedy, a health crisis or a series of financial stressors (or all three, as they often travel together.) As I recently blogged …

The Healing Process of Grief

Female Health, Healing Artwork, Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

2013 was a huge year of transition for me. And, to be frank, it was a year of loss. But also a year of growth. A year of survival and a year of strength. I’ve learned a lot first hand about loss, grief and healing… and I can contrast it quite vividly to what I *learned* about grief and healing during my medical training. I still remember being in medical school and learning all about the classic model of the grief process, set forth by the amazing and brave Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: DABDA (I’m sure many of my readers, …
