Welcome to my holistic health website. This website is dedicated to describing in detail my complimentary/alternative health consulting practice. Please navigate by clicking on the words in the graphic above.

Education will take you to a listing of the degrees and certifications that I have received over the years. Keep in mind that my education never stops...I study constantly and belong to professional organizations that keep abreast of cutting edge research and studies in the complimentary/alternative health field.

Contact will tell you how to get in touch with me, and also give information on how I conduct my consultations.

Modalities provides brief descriptions of the many methods that have been used to help clients with various complaints and what you may expect from them. It also gives outlines of some of the research I have done for many disorders in addition to exceptional research references. AT PRESENT THIS PHASE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION - PLEASE BE PATIENT

Links gives a listing of websites that can provide more details about some of the various modalities used and sources for some of the suggestions.

The main focus of my practice is to teach and instruct. I can't, in all good conscience, tell you to just "take this" and let it go at that. I will educate you on what, how, when and why you might consider specific recommendations. I will give you several options to choose from in order that you may take part in the formation of current and future decisions since I am of the belief that one should never stay on the same health protocol longterm. In the best interest of health and immunity, it has always been found that the cycling of nutritional supplements and herbs is most effective. It is not my goal to have you rely on me indefinitely..... Should that be the case, then I am not doing my job of educating you and empowering you to take control of your own health. We will discuss your long-term goals, then I will guide you in how best to achieve those goals. I will not attempt to treat any symptoms you have - rather, my suggestions will be aimed at rebalancing and correcting nutritional deficiencies and incorporating positive lifestyle changes in order to promote health. As a "holistic" (whole body) practitioner, I will be discussing your medical history with you. It is also very helpful to know as much about your parents' and siblings' medical history as you care to tell me. I use this information to attempt to get to the very core of your problem. Once we find this core issue, we can together devise a holistic protocol involving the whole body. This is the only effective way to address a problem, and to maintain health. All systems of the body work together in harmony. To single out and focus on only one puts the others further out of balance.

TINY TIDBIT There is a relatively unknown herb (Teasel root in Western herbalism, or Xu Duan in traditional Chinese medicine), that is becoming known as a possible remedy for symptoms of Lyme's disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, teasel root is affiliated with the Liver and Kidney meridians, and has bitter, pungent and warm properties. Its functions are to tonify the liver and kidneys, promote blood circulation, and strengthen the bones and tendons. Teasel root can be used internally or externally. Internally, teasel root is known to treat pain and weakness in the knees and lower back, help repair damaged tissues such as bones and ligaments. In Western herbalism, it has been used as a tincture to combat the mental fog, fatigue and chronic joint and muscle pain associated with Lyme's. When it is used, it has been recommended to use it in very small initial dosages. (1 to 5 drops, 3 times a day) The herb has also been found to be well suited to misdiagnosed conditions such as chronic fatigue, Epstein Barr, fibromyalgia, ALS, age-related dementia, and memory issues. Improvement with Lyme's symptoms has been noticed in as little as 3 days , with marked improvement coming after 6 months. As I mentioned, there is not a lot of information on this herb, so it is always best to seek advice from a knowledgable health care practitioner. Remember, it is always best to treat the body as a whole and not simply one system. TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH !!
