She works with http://www.midwivesofbrooklyn.com/. Rebekah is doing a seminar on dealing with the flu homeopathically (if that’s a word?) This means shortening the duration of the flu, lessening and eradicating your symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are non-toxic and FDA approved. The workshop is at Lucky Lotus Yoga. 184 Dekalb Ave Brooklyn, NY 11205. Fee: $25. Check out her website: www.brooklynhomeopathy.com
