About Holistic Medicine
Holistic medicine is considered a science as well as an art in the ability to heal a person from a center of well being. By including the mind and spirit in the care of the body, holistic medicine focuses on the ability to obtain a personals health on an optimal level. Conventional medical therapies as well as alternative therapies are used to help a person achieve the best quality of life possible.
Prevention of disease is just as important as treatment, and the underlying cause of disease is a concern in holistic medicine. Safety and the inclusion of the patient on the treatment and prevention of disease through education are major focuses, as well as providing the patient with options for treatment and allowing the patient that choice..
By analyzing the environmental, physical, lifestyle, emotional, nutritional, and spiritual needs of a patient, the holistic doctor is able to provide a complete picture of the needs of an individual, and can help create a plan of treatment that is whole. The patient then participates in the healing process to be motivated to achieve their own well being by preventing further damage.

A Holistic Approach to Wellness
Beyond a passion for EFT and PSYCH-K®, I’m what you could call a moderate health nut, and I know all too well from my own health challenges and that of others, that modern life can prove challenging for achieving and maintaining a state of homeostasis (balance and equilibrium). It has always been my natural aptitude and passion to research, experiment, and counsel others about nutrition, cleansing, products, toxins, supplements and herbs, and diet. I’ve observed rather clearly how people’s choices, lifestyles and eating habits contribute to their poor health and mental and emotional state. We all live in a world of toxins keeping our immune systems bogged down, and some of us are under the weight of it more than others.
My awareness of the true health epidemic of our world is growing, especially around the disturbing topic of dangerous toxins from our very dental work, and the air and water that can keep us in a low resonating fog. Even beyond our free-will food choices that contribute to an acidalkaline imbalance and sluggish health, there is plenty else to be concerned about for optimum wellness at all levels.
When we begin working on ourselves at the emotional and psychological levels, our physical health needs to keep up, to not only support us as our vehicle thru which we experience our earthly life, but to also support the new energetic resonance we’re endeavoring to attain.
