What is Holistic Health Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy is a science-based, holistic discipline that looks to identify the cause of health issues and symptoms and correct them on a foundational level by returning the body to a state of nutrient sufficiency.

Every cell, tissue, organ, system, function, and structure in the body operates on a specific set of nutrients and the health of the body depends directly upon the health?i.e. the nutrient sufficiency?of each of these properties. When sufficient in nutrients the body' is "balanced" in its inherent state of optimal health; when deficient, various health problems manifest differently for each individual, from symptoms of chronic fatigue and weight gain or loss, to cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

What is a Holistic health session like?
A complete health assessment is done by taking a complete patient history and getting to know the patients current life style habits. Additional blood test may be needed and these are completed in house. After looking a test results and getting to know the patient, a protocol is put together to bring the patients wellbeing back into physical and emotional harmony. Formulations are specific for each patient and are hand crafted at the time of the visit. Reiki therapy may also be suggested.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture treats health conditions by stimulating “acu-points” found at specific locations on the surface of the body. Acupuncturist stimulates the acu-points by inserting very thin needles through the skin to produce physiological effects.

What is Detoxification?
Fact. The foods you eat can actually make you feel worse. Most foods we purchase today are wrapped in plastic and contain low residues of pesticides; meats have growth hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides. Big business and industry have brought our country many great things. However, they have also brought us environmental toxins. The air that we breathe, the fillings in your teeth, skin creams, paint dyes, batteries, seafood, and tap water can and do contribute to the toxicity of our bodies. Depression, memory loss, asthma, fatigue, anxiety, neurological disorders, heart disease, impaired kidney function, weight gain, gastrointestinal problems, and a weakened immune system can all be attributed to a body that has a heavy load of toxins.

What if I have Food Sensitivities?
Certain foods simply do not agree with every body type. They can cause inflammation, gastrointestinal disorders, ADD, ADHD, auto-immune conditions, chronic infections, rashes, headaches, weight gain, and more. Because foods are our source of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, which are needed for millions of functions in our body, we are able to test for food sensitivities using LEAP testing. Based on the results, we will design a personalized elimination diet.
