Local Resources
Much of my work as a Reproductive Health Educator is to share resources and information. When I'm working with someone locally, I always refer out to practitioners that I have established a trusting relationship with over the years. Below is a list of some of these healthcare practitioners and community resources in the Ithaca, NY area. Each wellness technique and practitioner is unique, so I encourage you to create a support system that feels right for you.
