I know this may seem a little silly, but I believe one way of supporting someone's work is simply recognizing and appreciating what they have contributed.

Those who have read some of my recent articles know that I have a deep respect for Sir David Attenborough. I have been profoundly touched by the mindful way he speaks about animals, their relationships, and their capacity to experience the world. He is truly a master in that regard.

What does this have to do with medicine? In Anthroposophic understanding, animals and human beings share the realm of feeling. Developing sensitivity and understanding in one area can deepen our understanding in another.

With Sir David Attenborough Fandom – I just got recognized as one of their Top Fans! 🎉

A patient kindly shared some fresh gotu kola from the garden today. It grows like a w**d she states. I have never eaten it raw but know it from my herbal trainings.

Used traditionally for centuries and now being studied for its potential effects on cognition, circulation, and connective tissue health, gotu kola is an intriguing medicinal herb. Today, I enjoyed it simply in a salad with olive oil, herbs, and feta.

One more reminder that wellness can begin with the plants growing around us.

When Inner Shifting Becomes Transformational, Time Can Become Timeless

Healing rarely happens in a straight line—or according to a clock. Sometimes patients arrive for one concern and discover, as the session unfolds, that there is something much deeper asking for attention: stress, relationships, transitions, meaning, or simply the need to be heard while receiving care.

Over the years, I have come to value creating space for this kind of work while also honoring the structure that allows it to remain sustainable. Meaningful change does not always require travel, a retreat setting, or stepping away from daily life. Sometimes it begins quietly, one conversation and one session at a time—right here, close to home.

There are moments in practice when an inner process begins to unfold that reaches beyond the original reason for the appointment. Sometimes these shifts are conscious and immediate; sometimes they continue quietly beneath the surface long afterward. Not every session moves into this space, but when it does, the experience of time itself can begin to feel different—as though it briefly pauses or opens into something larger, less measured, and more deeply experienced.

The patients who are aligned with this type of work often recognize this process intuitively, whether consciously or unconsciously. It is part of what continues to draw me toward this sacred very profound kind of one-on-one care.

Dr. Pautz is an enthusiastic Walsh practitioner. Although some of the changes maybe subtle and require consistency in the protocol use, for some this foundation is a safe foundation to be able to address other things that may need a bit of attention.

We provide once monthly open houses free of charge for newcomers to learn more about the practice philosophy and schedule an appointment.

Continued Mindfulness in Times of Extreme Weather

As we witness the ongoing fires and extreme weather conditions affecting regions like Florida, Georgia, California, and many others, our thoughts are with those impacted. To a degree, we are all affected.

Even when events occur far from us geographically, we are not entirely separate from them. We live in an interconnected world—ecologically, emotionally, and in the shared awareness of what unfolds around us.

I often think of this in terms of the body’s fascia: a continuous, responsive system where change in one area is never fully isolated from the whole. In that sense, caring for our immediate environment and staying mindful of our actions becomes part of a wider field of stewardship.

Small acts of attention still matter—tending a plant or an animal, conserving water, or simply holding awareness for the elementals: water, fire, wind, and light, and for those affected. All of this keeps us connected to the larger living system we are part of.

Have a peaceful Memorial Day Weekend.

Happy Mother's Day.

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day 🌿

This day is not only about biological motherhood, but about the spirit of nurturing, creating, protecting, guiding, and caring in all its forms.

To those raising children, caring for others, building a business, supporting a dream, tending to the earth, holding space for healing, or bringing life to meaningful projects — thank you.

Motherhood is also an energy of compassion, stewardship, patience, and devotion that exists in many forms throughout the world.

Wishing a beautiful Mother’s Day to all who carry that spirit.

The amazing journey of someone who used his perception and senses (hearing, seeing, touching, caring and may more).

The PHENOMENAL Man Who Taught Us to See The Nature World:
Some people observe nature.
Sir David Attenborough taught the world how to truly see it.
Through a lifetime behind the camera and across continents,
he turned silence into storytelling and landscapes into living memory.
From the hidden depths of the oceans to the untouched breath of ancient forests,
he revealed a planet that was never distant—but deeply alive.
He didn’t just show us the Earth.
He helped us understand it.
As he approaches 100 years of life, we do not only celebrate a man.
We honor a way of seeing the world—patiently, respectfully, and in wonder.
One voice. One life. A world forever changed.
