Clinical Nutrition
You will receive a comprehensive nutritional evaluation to help you in achieving overall wellness. We believe that food is medicine and can create change in the chemical composition of the body.
Nutritional Testing
I offer micronutrient testing to analyze nutrient deficiencies. Deficiencies are often the root cause of disease. This blood test is very thorough and covers Fatty acids, Metabolites, Carbohydrate metabolism, Antioxidant function, Amino acids, vitamins and minerals, to provide you with a risk assessment. Comprehensive test results are returned in 3 weeks. I will then make personal recommendations or custom blend a nutrient formula to meet your health needs.
Fitness
We design a unique fitness plan that works specifically for your body and lifestyle. Most of us don’t have the time or energy to workout or make it to the gym. A routine fitness program should be fun, efficient, easy to get to and full of noticeable results. Our program integrates natural movements with weighted resistance, plyometrics, and intense bursts of metabolic intensity.
Herbal Medicine
Natural plants are used as to support the body in wellness. Herbs are plants used in doses that create a medicinal effect that will support bringing the body back to balance. We carefully match the plant to the person, taking into account the person’s current condition and constitution, medications being taken and the best method for taking the herb.
Reiki
We practice Reiki. Reiki is a Japanese technique that modulated the body’s energy fields’s support relaxation and healing. Energy Healing uses unlimitless “Life Force Energy” to perpetuate the body’s natural healing potential. When this energy is low we open ourselves to disease, sickness, depression, toxicity and physical depletion. Energy healing is a non-invasive and powerful method of healing an individual on a mental, physical, spiritual and emotional level.
Infrared Light therapy
This treatment uses Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) directly on the body to affect the body positively at the cellular level. A combination of visible red, blue and invisible infrared light painlessly penetrate the surface area of the skin and are absorbed by specific proteins. Light waves are a form of energy that the body can utilize to heal itself. During the treatment you will feel a warmth from the light as you relax and the process takes hold. This treatment effectively regenerates the energy of the cell and promotes healing for both chronic and traumatic imbalances. This is cutting edge technology performed by a trained therapist.
Bioenergy Balancing
Using our cutting edge hand held technical device called the Scenar to provide deep therapeutic electro stimulation. This quick, easy and painless process stimulates parts of the nervous tissue providing biofeedback registration for muscle re-education and relaxation. This is great for chronic pain sufferers, stress, inflammation and premature aging.
Detoxification
Your body naturally carries out detoxification processes each and every day. Detoxification is the proess of the body removing and eliminating waste products that can become toxic to the body. When we are not getting enough of the natural detoxification foods that eliminate wastes, our toxic load increases. We offer several methods for detoxification that are time based including diet changes, sweat routines, colonics, and fasting.
