     Hi Ben,
     I just closed my practice and moved out of Seattle. I am taking an extended break and am currently working for the American Botanical Council in Austin. I will eventually start seeing patients again, but am trying to deal with some issues of my own that have caught up with me. I will make it known via a newsletter to the subscribers to this website when I am available to do phone consultations, and when I am seeing patients in Austin. It will be a little while though.

     Thanks for getting in touch!
     Becky
