Many different types of therapies can be utilized including:

Clinical Nutrition

Nutrition is vital as it provides us with the building blocks for our body. Many nutrients are needed to make sure our biochemical pathways function properly. Conventional medicine uses drugs to affect our body’s natural processes. Nutrition can be used therapeutically to strengthen and support these same functions.

Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine 

Acupuncture uses very fine needles to stimulate the energy channels of the body. Oriental herbs can also affect these channels which help to balance and heal the body.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine uses specific parts of plants to strengthen, support and nourish the body. Herbs can be used alone or in combination to promote the same pathways that conventional drugs do and therefore may be used to treat disease as well as prevent it.

Homeopathic Medicine

Homeopathic medicine uses small amounts of plant, mineral or animal substances to improve health and prevent and treat disease.

Hypnosis

This method of treatment uses focused attention and inner awareness to access and respond to positive suggestions. By changing your thoughts you can affect your behaviors and create the future you dreamed of.
