The natural health field can be an impenetrable jungle of hype and confusion – how do you know what type of diet, supplements, movement, meditation or other healing approaches, are really suited to you as an individual?
Here are some dilemmas you might be facing -
- You’d like to upgrade your diet and lifestyle, eat healthier foods, feel better, have more energy and improve your resistance to illness – but popular nutritional programs don’t seem to work for you, and it always feels like a struggle.
- You feel confused and frustrated with all the conflicting advice and multitude of hyped “health food” products.
- You’re wondering why a diet or detoxification program that works for your friend or spouse doesn’t work for you or makes you feel worse.
- You’ve taken nutritional supplements before, but they didn’t agree with you.
- You’re confused as to what type of therapeutic bodywork would be best for your particular concern – chiropractic? massage? acupuncture? something else you’re not familiar with? – and how to choose among them and coordinate that work with the other things you’re doing.
- You want to release unnecessary stress, but could never really sustain a relaxation or meditation program.
- You’re tired of feeling deprived on restrictive diets and struggling with fitness plans. You know there must be a way to get your health needs and your natural desires on the same team!
Now you can work with someone who can sort through the confusion. You’ll be guided in what’s right for you as an individual, no one-size-fits-all health fads or cupboards full of supplements. I can provide you with an integrated plan that cuts through confusion, and the various elements are coordinated so you don’t feel split in different directions. Your plan for healthy regimen can become very sensible and practical for you. And the scope can be comprehensive or specifically focused on a particular issue – it’s all up to you.
The added benefit of email consults is that you’re no longer limited to local practitioners. A questionnaire that you complete before your initial consult helps me assess your needs.
We work with Four Cardinal Points of healing:
- Nutrition includes learning to choose and prepare simple, healthy foods that are delicious and satisfying, according to your individual needs. We’ll also use a small number of high quality nutritional supplements and superfoods. Rather than being restrictive or depriving, we work with shifting your eating style in a way that actually frees you to activate more of your potential and feel your best.
- Hydration means consuming the proper amount and quality of water and enhancing your body’s ability to utilize it.
- Sleep – regulating sleep patterns which affect important metabolic functions.
- Recreation includes proper movement and activities that engage your creative energy and provide deep satisfaction and fulfillment.
Learning new concepts and changing any kind of entrenched habit can be challenging. But a personalized program that provides just enough structure and support – without being rigid or overwhelming – will allow the wisdom of your body to begin to guide you in healthier choices. And “healthier” means that you function at your best and fulfill more of who you are as an individual.
My approach is systematic yet highly flexible – some people do well with more structure, and some with less. We work towards your goals at your own pace cooperatively, starting from where you are with step-by-step guidance and recommendations that feel right to you.
Consults are currently available by email – please see the Scheduling and Fees page to learn about getting started.
I look forward to working with you!
