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!

Access to the videos of presentations below from the 2021 Hee Haw for Health event is FREE. If you find this information valuable, please consider making a donation of $50 or more to help ensure we can host future health events for families in need.

Please note: some of the practitioners at the Health Event shared sensitive information and opted NOT to share their presentations online. This is the case every year. Online access is limited. Please join us in person next year!

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. CONTACT: www.heartwinghealing.com

Dr. Nicole had a spot lined up in physical therapy school. Growing up, she’d always been to the chiropractor. If she was in pain, that’s where she’d go. When it made a drastic difference in her comfort levels, Dr. Nicole knew: chiropractic school was the right choice for her. While attending Parker University, Dr. Nicole learned the truth about chiropractic. “I recognized the intelligence of the body, and how chiropractic was about so much more than getting people out of pain.” She earned a Doctor of Chiropractic, graduating as valedictorian. Though her passion for chiropractic was there, Dr. Nicole had some serious pain that nothing seemed to make a dent in. She tried various techniques within chiropractic, nutrition, exercise, dry needling, acupuncture, functional neurology, biofeedback, neurofeedback-you name it. After a single adjustment through particular chiropractic technique, Dr. Nicole was out of pain and on the road to healing. Because of what she experienced, it became her mission to provide relief through chiropractic care. Dr. Nicole is also trained in the Webster Technique for pregnant women. DR.
