We believe in a complete mind, body, soul approach to living – and our core values are essential for determining the foundation on which you thrive. By incorporating these core pillars of natural health, you’ll be able to create and live a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. These values include: nutrition (a primary foundation); plants (nature’s pharmacy); water (a core element in health); movement (a daily practice); balance (a sustainable, non-chaotic lifestyle), and connection (to nature, purpose, & others). We can explain our values in more depth at your consultation.

We have a seven-step approach to treatment, encouraging natural healing before resorting to traditional medicine. These steps include: removing obstacles to health; stimulating the vis (your body’s healing capacity or life force); strengthening weakened systems; correcting structural integrity; using natural substances to restore and regenerate; using pharmacological substances to halt progressive pathology, and finally, using high force invasive modalities, such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
