Do you have a chronic health condition such as IBS, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, eczema, or others? Since 80% of your immune system is in the gut, foods can act as "triggers" causing inflammation, pain, bloating, diarrhea and more. Your immune system is as unique as a fingerprint, so there is no one-size-fits all solution. What might give one person a migraine doesn't necessarily give someone else a migraine. I personalize my approach by combining nutrition, laboratory analysis and supplements (if needed). Most importantly I listen. You know your body better. Together we'll develop an approach that works for you.

Do you find yourself getting tired of cycling from diet to diet, unable to maintain their list of food rules? Have you canceled plans with friends or family to prevent "losing control" around certain foods? Are you dealing with emotional eating, disordered eating, or an eating disorder on your own? Imagine if you were able to heal your relationship with food and your body. Imagine how it would feel to finally ditch the food rules, to give yourself permission to eat ALL foods without guilt or shame, to find movement that you enjoy, and to care for your body with kindness even when you have a bad body image day.

I practice non-dualistic healthcare, meaning I do not see a difference between the energy that helps you heal and you. All of my disciplines, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, and facilitated equine experential learning, have the same goal...to help you function from your authentic self. It is here that wholeness exists. You can be you, or you can be ill. I treat spirit first, knowing that the damage in our lives begins here and gradually, usually, manifests in our mental, emotional, or physical beings. Much as horses are able to help you with non-verbal communication because they take in the world

Shiatsu is an acupressure form of massage. The Japanese word literally means "finger pressure". Like acupuncture, Shiatsu works with a system of meridians, which are lines of energy running along the surface of the body. Each meridian relates to a different organ of the body. This energy can actually be shown by measuring changes in electrical resistance. In ill health this energy is out of balance. Some meridians may have too little energy flow, while others may have too much. The goal of Shiatsu is to balance the energies by applying pressure to specific points. When the energy is balanced, often the symptom will disappear.

If you have been told by a Dr. that there is nothing wrong and you are still experiencing symptoms especially in the area of Thyroid, I can help. In 20 years I have found that they don't run enough tests to find the actual problem. My blood panel includes 9 tests of thyroid, a digestive marker, A1C, all 5 liver enzymes, a marker showing tissue damage and all body systems. I look at all levels of thyroid function, especially in autoimmune thyroid. You have to manage the immune system with autoimmune to find the correct dosage of thyroid hormone. If you want to feel better, let's find the pathway that is malfunctioning.
