Healing Arts

Welcome!!!

You've decided to explore a holistic and preventive approach to improving and maintaining your health. By coming to our Center you are embarking on an adventure in optimizing wellness and self-discovery.

Conventional (also called allopathic) medicine only focuses on treating only one problem at a time or simply treating the symptoms.  It works well for acute problems, as a form of crisis intervention; an emergency room's response to trauma is a good example of allopathic medicine at its best.  However, most chronic illnesses are multi-factorial, meaning that our body's ability to cope with multiple demands has been compromised.  Something may begin to break down or our bodies may respond in a mal-adaptive way.  This is called "disease". 

While the allopathic approach often focuses on eliminating the symptoms of the disease, this approach seldom identifies the underlying causes, corrects imbalances, or prevents recurrences. Illness develops when the amount of stressors on your system exceeds the threshold of your ability to cope with them.  Your reserve may be lowered by deficiencies of hormones, vitamins, minerals or other nutrients.  Stressors include any mental, emotional, physical, and social event requiring energy output for your system to cope with it.   Examples such as environmental stressors, infection, chemical toxicity, allergy, weather, pollution, addiction, poor diet, financial, or work-related stress are possible factors in the development of disease. 

Our aim is to look at you as a whole person and develop an integrated, individualized sessions, plan to lower the stress load while raising and optimizing the threshold. This results in relief of symptoms, restoration of health and well-being, and prevention of potential illness by building a greater reserve.
