TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
"I believe that the body, mind, spirit are connected and that
the state of one affects the state
of the other. As a holistic practitioner, I see the effects
of high-tech, low touch healthcare
systems. The manifestation of health is wholeness-- the
balance of the body, mind, and spirit.
Healing is on the client’s terms; as a holistic practitioner
I only facilitate the client’s own
natural process. I am committed to various forms of healing
hands techniques and the
progression toward wholeness that can be best supported by
an integrative approach to meet
the client’s needs."
