Holistic Health
Holistic health visits are based in Naturopathic Medicine — a holistic model of healthcare that integrates natural healing methods with current medical training and scientific research. The principal wisdom of naturopathic medicine is to optimize health and increase resilience by treating the root causes of dis-ease and encouraging an individual’s own self-healing process.
Holistic health visits focus on nervous system function in the context of emotional health, trauma, chronic stress, lifestyle, and physical biology (ie. inflammation, toxin load, etc.). The holistic health journey may include the following therapies and assessments based on your individual needs:
– somatic processing & play
– plant medicine
– homeopathy
– energetic nutrition (based in Five Element Theory)
– heart coherence practices
– health supplements
– lab work
– diagnostic imaging

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on form of bodywork which acts to release tension in fascia and the tissues that surround the brain and spinal cord. This allows the nervous system to function optimally, increasing the body’s ability to self-heal. CST can support individuals with ADHD/Autism, low self esteem, PTSD, digestive disorders, insomnia, headaches/migraines, anxiety, muscle tension and pain, and other conditions associated with chronic stress. The person receiving treatment remains clothed during the session.
