A NaPro Doctor is closer than you think: and 3 other Facts I Wish You Knew About NaPro Technology

A NaPro Doctor is closer than you think – and 3 other Facts You Knew Regarding NaPro Technology

Today I want to introduce you to Dr. Monique Ruberu.

Dr. Monique Ruberu, author of Rising With Roses: A Story of Renewal and Lessons Learned  and a very good friend of mine.

Dr. Monique Ruberu

Believe me when I tell you this, Dr. Monique Ruberu is someone that will inspire you to love God and others more.

She is a true servant of Christ. A kind soul. A fantastic doctor and one living example of how God will provide the time you need to serve Him and live a joyful life as a Christian.

We spoke on Facebook Live the other week (although I made a technical mistake, so only some of our conversation went live smh). You can view and or listen to that conversation here: Prayer Wine Chocolate Presents: Dr. Monique Ruberu

Follow Dr. Monique Ruberu on YouTube!

You don’t have to live near a NaPro doctor to get NaPro care.

Thanks to telemedicine and coaching options, you can live miles away from the nearest NaPro physician, and still receive treatment.

Almost 10 years ago, I could not find one NaPro doctor in my area – which is a city that has uncountable hospitals and universities.

When I needed a doctor that believed in NFP and NaPro – I literally had to drive on a dirt road ( okay, gravel, but still) to get there.

Now, there are more choices in the Philadelphia area – and thanks to technology, if you are still not within driving distance to a NaPro physician, you can still get the care and guidance needed for your health and fertility that was not readily available 10 years ago.

Coaching Sessions provide a unique opportunity for patients outside the Pennsylvania area to have a private internet based consultation with Dr Ruberu. (National and International Appointments available)

She will listen to your concerns and provide a detailed consult summary including possible treatment strategies that you can present to your local provider or pursue independently. 

1. NFP and NaPro Medicine offer so much more than avoiding or achieving pregnancy

If you are dealing with abnormal bleeding,

irregular cycles, PMS symptoms, PCOS, infertility, 

vaginal infections or any other concern please reach out to a NaPro physician, and if you are not sure who to turn to, I strongly suggest Dr. Monique Ruberu – you can connect with her at NaturalWomensHealth.com

2. NaPro Doctors provide treatment for Postpartum Depression, PMS, recurring miscarriages and more.

I know, it sounds like the first fact I shared. But it’s important to realize this is not just gynecological care – this is general and overall quality of life healthcare.

PMS is real. Symptoms that effect your mood and therefore closest relationships might just need treatment.

It’s extremely important to get your blood work done and a NaPro physician can help you navigate that process.

Many women think taking Vitex or progesterone supplements are the solution, but without getting blood work analyzed by a NaPro physician, there is not a way to get effective, accurate and reliable treatment.

Taking care of your health can also help your marriage.

Your mental health and emotional well-being could be causing other problems in your life that could be solved and healed by having a NaPro physician examine your blood work and provide some advice.

It’s worth looking into.

You can email Drruberumd@gmail.com

3. There is a NaPro alternative to Planned Parenthood – check out Natural Women’s Health

Dr. Monique Ruberu is a true advocate for life. Her desire is to provide life affirming gynecologic care for women at high risk for abortion.

I’ve heard it said before that when a woman is out of work or is simply uninsured, Planned Parenthood provides care they need in those difficult times.

Dr. Ruberu wants to give these women a life affirming option. A place to go where they smell aromatherapy candles and hear comforting Christian music, rather than a place that often makes women feel like the walls are closing in on them.

You can help support this dream by supporting the Ladies Love Life organization. One way is to purchase a cute sweatshirt or mug šŸ™‚

What now?

  1. Share this post!

2. Contact Dr. Monique Ruberu and set up a coaching session!

3. Buy a Ladies Love Life product and support a great cause!

4. Read Rising With Roses and be inspired!

Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed… Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed…
When I discovered this in my basement, my daughter grabbed it and ran off… I still have some speed left in me. ā€œSecretsā€ recovered šŸ˜….

Writing in a diary or a journal is much different than writing and sharing on social media… especially for kids and teens. Dr. Leonard Sax (author of The Collapse of Parenting) shares in his talks how writing in a diary or journal is living… but writing and posting is performing.

The young need the space to write out of the public eye.

Also… remember the Cabbage Patch Kids šŸ˜‚!?

The Padre Pio museum and the shrine grounds are a great place to pray and learn more about this anything but boring Saint!
And I have to say we all had a blast looking at the nostalgic candy, ordering our ice cream and playing pinball at The Peppermint Stick!

Padre Pio, pray for us!!!

In 2016 I listened to Father Pio Mandato recount t In 2016 I listened to Father Pio Mandato recount this story and I couldn’t help but laugh šŸ˜‚.

Father Pio Mandato was able to visit Padre Pio a few times as a boy with his Grandfather. He remembered how Padre Pio in the presence of some Capuchins and laymen, Padre Pio enjoyed the fellowship and he loved to tell jokes and make his friends laugh.

What a joy to know that those in heaven have a sense of humor!

Saint Padre Pio, pray for us!

When I was growing up my friend used to invite me When I was growing up my friend used to invite me to go to ā€œfellowshipā€ with her at their church. That was not a word or idea I was familiar with… 

Later I was taught that faith is a gift… but I didn’t truly understand that until it was faith that was keeping me hanging on…
Having friends to share prayer intentions with and who will not only pray with you but laugh and become your community is priceless,
5 Stars: Highly recommend!

Let us pray together for our priests! In the name Let us pray together for our priests! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Saint Teresa of Avila is credited with this quote: ā€œBehind each priest, there is a demon fighting for his fall. If we have the language to criticize them, we must have twice as much to pray for themā€.

The parish I have been attending for over 20 years has always been blessed either such wonderful priests. I am so grateful, and if I’m being honest, quite sad to see this one go on to another assignment.

Let us fervently pray for all Catholic priests… for they truly help us know and love Jesus Christ more.

God bless Father Windle … and @irishclan7 we loved the ice cream truck at his farewell. Our twins had actually made up a song they would sing on pancake breakfast days… perhaps one day I’ll convince them to sing it for you or for Father Windle šŸ˜‰ 

If you’ve read this far, comment the name of a priest you are praying for!
