  Welcome

 

Most of us treat our health like a leaky pipe- mildly annoying but we put up with it, maybe catching the drip in a pan below.  Eventually, we tighten the pipes and things are better for a while until it starts up again.  At some point we recognize a replacement is needed, but question whether it’s worth the investment and deal with the roller coaster of tightening things up periodically because quite frankly, there are more important things in life to worry about.  We go on fretting about our jobs, kids, significant others, and occasionally note the mild leak with a sigh before the thought is quickly replaced by something more immediately pressing.  One day though, you might come home to find your kitchen flooded and suddenly the most important issue at hand is what you’ve put off for so long….your health.

We all have issues with our health we aren’t happy with, but very few of us explore why.  We put up with aching backs, a few extra pounds, itchy skin or mood swings because for some reason they just don’t seem as important to us as other things and we assume they are things we can’t change- that’s just the way we are, many of us convincingly tell ourselves.

But that is not the way the body works.  The body is a complex system, a universe of eco-systems living within us working with each other and against each other to achieve the most balanced state that it can under the circumstances we provide.  When we don’t provide those internal systems with the right tools, the body looks for ways to communicate the imbalances to us, but most of us neglect or cover up these signs with prescriptions that don’t address the root of the problem.

In my practice I look at chronic diseases and complaints from multiple viewpoints.  Like playing a game of Clue, there are many combinations of factors that lead people to similar places of discomfort and pain.  After thoroughly looking at your health history, life style, stress levels and food choices I will design a treatment protocol to address your most urgent health issues.

Using a variety of massage and relaxation techniques combined with individualized nutritional coaching I will help you uncover the root of what ails you while providing you with information and tools to help you achieve lifelong success.
