TRUSTED SOURCES
I only recommend products that I have used personally, or trust for my clients. Some of the links included for your convenience are affiliates, which means I receive a small commission when you make a purchase. It’s no cost to you and a great way to further Indigo Forest’s mission.

AVACEN
The Avacen is a class II medical device that utilizes dry heat therapy, treating the whole body through the palm of the hand. This warm, thinner blood delivers increase oxygen at micro-circulation levels, resulting in decreased systemic inflammation and pain. There are no contraindications; it’s safe and effective for children, the elderly, and pregnant mothers. I’ve seen extraordinary benefits during pre-pregnancy (fertility support), pregnancy, labor, and postpartum with my clients, their babies, and families. See their stories on the Indigo page, more info on the AVACEN site, or reach out to Beth with any questions.
BELLY ARMOR
I love the “Belly Blanket” to drape over your belly (do you work at a computer?) to create a soft, protective shield against wireless radiation. They do a good job raising awareness of health risks from wireless radiation & designing solutions to address it.
BODY READY METHOD
The Body Ready Method’s on-line programs teach women how to optimize their core and pelvic floor health at any point in their childbearing journey. Whether pregnant, postpartum, or long beyond, the BRM helps to minimize injuries in pregnancy and birth, and help the pelvic floor to function well to both yield (in birth) and be responsive (not leak!). From easing aches and pain to recovering from diastases recti and pelvic floor failure, we are very impressed with the results.
BOROUX
Clean, pure water is the foundation of health and life itself. Water at the sink isn’t the same water that left the treatment plant and traveled through miles of pipes. Boroux is doing a great job providing the cleanest water, along with business transparency that’s rare in the water industry. Their replacement filters work in your Berkey units, too! This is the water filtration I have in my kitchen, and that I installed in my son’s college apartment. It’s one of the best options available for point-of-use water filtration that leaves the minerals in.
EARTHLEY WELLNESS
Earthley is guided by a very simple philosophy, that all families deserve access to truly clean, natural, and affordable health and wellness products. They are passionate about using the whole plant in its natural form, and believe in the power of nature to protect and heal our family. My clients are the ones who introduced me to Earthley, they love these products, their affordability, and are proud of how much healthier their families have become.
FULLSCRIPT
Fullscript is an on-line natural pharmacy (NO NOT WEED! LOL) that provides an extensive selection of quality and even practitioner-restricted supplement brands (ie. like Standard Process that can otherwise only be purchased from a chiropractor).
You register once with an email and password, and then browse as you wish. I’m sorry about the registration steps, it’s not my way personally and I understand it can be a little clunky. However, I’ve set up a 15% discount across the board on all your orders to make it worth it, and shipping is free over $50. Once in you’ll see an extensive array of protocols for all sorts of illnesses and conditions, so you can see what sorts of products to consider for earaches, bee stings, flu, immune support and more. More protocols are added frequently.
MONTESSORI SERVICES
My children’s childhood was vastly enhanced by products from this very company, and their quality is so good that I am literally still using them by choice in my kitchen today. (The boys are in their 20’s ). These are child-sized working tools and toys and that help our children do the important work of contributing to the family. I can’t say enough about Montessouri Services, they were the first company I went looking for to share with you!
MOTHERLOVE
Motherlove has long been one of my favorite herbal source for herbs to support and increase lactation, and all aspects of motherhood. LOVE their More Milk products, Morning Sickness capsules, and their balms (C-Section Cream, Mom’s Bottom Balm). We used to have moms bursting into the Indigo Forest store loudly proclaiming, “That Mom’s Bottom Balm I got last week for my hemorrhoids REALLY worked!” LOL.
MOUNTAIN ROSE HERBS
I’m a plant person, and herbs have always been a big part of the care I provide (and personally use.) In Get Well Soon, my online course, we explore what herbal medicine is and some of the basic ways to use it. When purchasing organic dried herbs to use in bulk for teas, infusions, baths, or salves, I’m rather picky. For instance, it’s important that the herbs are not too long from the field, so they are as potent as possible. Indigo Forest has used both Starwest and Mountain Rose at different times since we opened in 2007, and continue to rely on their reliable high quality.
NATURE’S SUNSHINE
Nature’s Sunshine supplements are clean, and they have good herbal blends in effective combinations. Steven Horne is a skilled herbalist, and contributes his knowledge with NSP products. My clients have come back for their ‘Stomach Comfort’ (health alternative to TUMS during pregnancy), and Protease Plus (their version of a good digestive enzyme that can be used along with charcoal as a Hail Mary to help stave off illness when the whole household is urping.)
OUR FAMILY WIZARD
This is the leading app for more peaceful co‑parenting. But it’s really here because after my rather turbulent divorce, this was a much needed port-in-a-storm from continuing upheaval. It’s incredibly simple to use, creates a healthy buffer between parents, and supports/tracks communication/scheduling/shared expenses, all of it. Best feature? You can set notifications to your specifications such as every 24 hours, if you need to contain a constant barrage of texts, for instance. #1 court-recommended co‑parenting app.
PERFECT SUPPLEMENTS
High-quality and nutrient-dense products like pasture-fed, hydolyzed collagen, desiccated liver, multi-organ supplements and mushroom blends. A client with super high standards introduced me to their bone broth and liver, and I’ve had their products in my pantry ever since. I’ve found their products to be a great value and high quality.
Perfect Bovine Gelatin is the first and only gelatin to receive the Glyphosate Residue Free Certification from the Detox Project. This means that the product is tested bi-annually by an ISO 17025 accredited lab and shows no glyphosate residue down to the U.S.’s government-recognized limits of detection for food and supplements (0.01 ppm). Amazing!
STARWEST BOTANICALS
I’m a plant person, and herbs have always been a big part of the care I provide (and personally use.) In Get Well Soon, my online course, we explore what herbal medicine is and some of the basic ways to use it. When purchasing organic dried herbs to use in bulk for teas, infusions, baths, or salves, I’m rather picky. For instance, it’s important that the herbs are not too long from the field, so they are as potent as possible. Indigo Forest has used both Starwest and Mountain Rose at different times since we opened in 2007, and continue to rely on their reliable high quality.
THE TUO LIFE
Andrew Huberman recommends TUO. If you know who this is*, you know that’s pretty much all you need to know. The quality and type of light we live with is affect every aspect of our brain function, mental health, and well-being. These are the bulbs to have, the site has outstanding and accurate info. (Including links to Andrew Huberman.)
*Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist who is one of ‘THE’ most respected authorities on brain health, brain function, and the role light plays.
WISH GARDEN HERBS
WGH is an herbal supplement company that knows what they’re doing, with easily the most consistently effective liquid blends (tinctures) my clients have used. They have organic herbals for kids, pregnancy, immune and more, and they continue to be the most requested reorder from old clients over the years. “Do you still have any of that...., it worked SOOOO good!” On my shelf, and everyone I know. Can’t go wrong - they don’t go bad, make sure you have a few in your natural remedies kit so you are prepared.
