“This weekend was so special. I flew back to Oklahoma to the @oklahomadonkeydairy for the most beautiful health event for children and families suffering from PANS/PANDAS, autism, RA and other similar conditions. I was graciously chosen to speak to the 350 attendees on how proper nutrition can improve their lives. I had a jam packed schedule of complementary individual consults. These families received the info I was offering with open arms. 🙌🏼 "

Krystal Hammet, @Alternative Wellness Solutions

"The practitioners were fantastic! They were extremely kind to our children, they listened, I mean REALLY LISTENED! Although the time was minimal, I feel like we made more progress there than we have in the last 2 years amongst dozens of doctors! Seeing all the families there, getting help, getting educated, knowing we are not alone in daily battle was overwhelming in so many ways. I felt healing taking place all around me and within our family."

"We attended the Hee Haw for Health this past Saturday. They created a magical place! There were so many wonderful practitioners gathered together in one place to educate and support families with special needs children. We are excited for next year’s event!”

Family Friendly, Fun on the Farm

Educational Health Events

Our non-profit hosts annual "Hee Haw for Health" events for children with PANDAS/PANS, Autism, autoimmune disorders and other chronic illnesses, and their families at the Oklahoma Donkey Dairy.

The event provides health education in a variety of modalities from the top health professionals across the state and beyond. From integrative medicine doctors to chiropractors to biological dentists and everything in between, parents learn about scientific-based approaches that may help their child. Many children experience less symptoms or remission and a better quality of life when working with an experienced integrative, functional or alternative medicine practitioner.

Wellness professionals provide free consultations on-site, saving families hundreds of dollars and countless hours and research.

Families gain a community going through similar circumstances. Solidarity provides encouragement and hope! Attendees get to experience a bit of farm life with access to the animals (including the donkeys), games, activities and even a visit with Santa Claus. It's an empowering, fun day for all involved!

We've had over 800 attendees. 

We'd like to continue growing the event this year to help even more families. We can with your help!

Homeopathy

Erin Tullius

Erin’s journey into homeopathy took a rather circuitous route. As a personal trainer and gym owner, she became passionate about helping her clients reach their highest potential. This led her to author the book Mind Over Fatter: The Secret to Thinking Yourself Thin, to begin a speaking and coaching business, and to lead trainings around the country.
In 2013, when her son was diagnosed with a difficult illness, and after countless visits to doctors and specialists, Erin learned about the power of homeopathy as it was the first treatment that actually made a difference. It was at that point she began researching and in 2018, after several years of individual study, she joined a course offered by Dr. Angelica Lemke and begin more official training.
Erin brings over a decade of experience with autoimmune disease from both the parenting and personal perspective as well as nearly two decades of experience learning alongside chiropractors and naturopaths alike. Her knowledge in the natural medicine field is invaluable and her personal experience allows for an empathic and intuitive approach that is unparalleled.
Erin works primarily with complex children and their families. She resides in Central Texas with her teenage son and her gentle giant of a dog, Thor.
