PhilosophyHealing is the process of balancing the energy flow in the body. The role of the practitioner is to balance knowledge with the intuitive to serve the needs of the client. All disease arises from imbalance and manifest on the physicial level as excess or deficiency in the body. Imbalances arise from outside the body from accidents and environmental influences and from choices that affect the internal milieu such as food and drink choices, drugs, emotions, and heredity. If left unchecked, these imbalances will ultimately terminate life. In the beginning, correction is as simple as changing one’s mind, eliminating a food or drug choice, or getting exercise. Of course, the client must know they have the power to affect change. If symptoms and conditions progress, more intervention and aggressive methods are needed. The use of treatment modalities such as acupuncture, kinesiology, and herbology are less invasive and more preventative than Western medicine techniques. They fit under or before surgery and ideally before pharmaceutical medications. We are committed to helping our clients improve their health and quality of life.
