Services

Describe your services:
Our Holistic approach utilizes a combination of techniques which are individualized for your body’s needs.

BEST-Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique:
It is a physical, yet non-forceful, energy balancing procedure used by the hands to reestablish the full healing potential of the body using its natural healing abilities. It’s a state-of-the-art technique which balances the Body/Mind/Memory/Soul energy fields. B.E.S.T. removes the interference &/or distractions that are demanding the attention of the healing power; thereby causing the imbalance in the autonomic nervous system and ultimately leading to disease.

Emotions and thoughts play a big role in your health! Emotional issues of the past as well as the choices that we have made, or currently make in 6 essential areas: what we eat & drink; how we exercise & rest; what we breathe; and what we think all affect our energy field balance. When these systems are out of balance, they become exhausted–often resulting in symptoms of pain & disease.

Chiropractic Care: Traditional gentle chiropractic adjustments are used to increase function in the Nervous System. Any stress whether it’s physical, emotional, and or chemical, can cause interference in the Nervous system which leads to dysfunction and disease.

Insight Millennium Examination: Your initial examination and progress evaluations will include a state of the art computerized examination called the “Insight Millennium Examination.” This examination involves several important components.

The first part of this examination process involves reading spinal heat differences from one level of the spine to another, as well as from one side of the spine to the other. Heat is a by product of circulation, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. From this we can assess how interference may be affecting overall function.

In the second part of this examination the Insight Millennium Examination scans the surface of your spinal area for surface electrical impulses, and measures them along your spine. This helps measure the affect of subluxation or interference on the motor nerve system and on your muscles. We can then get a visual representation of where you hold stress, to what degree, overall function of the autonomic nervous system and muscle imbalance.

Pediatric and Pregnancy Care: Dr. Lee is I.C.P.A. (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) certified in Pediatric Chiropractic which focuses on the special needs and considerations of Pregnant Moms, infants, and children of different ages. Mother & child share the same environment during pregnancy-the more balanced mom is throughout her pregnancy, the less strain in-utero. Children are faced with the same stressors of everyday life as adults. However, their bodies are much more susceptible and sensitive to these stressors. Finding and correcting interference to the Mind, Body & Spirit as early as possible, will ensure a fully functioning Nervous System which is able to develop & adapt to these stressors quicker.

Acupuncture:
Acupuncture is an ancient therapy designed to stimulate clinically significant points on the body in order to manipulate Qi/Chi. This initiates balance in the body which helps relieve pain, promotes healing, and creates physiological changes.

Qi/Chi is the vital force/energy which is produced from air and food and travels throughout the body, providing circulation and nourishment. Qi is responsible for the healthy and normal functioning of the organs and body systems. When Qi is “blocked”, it can cause pain, dysfunction, and disease.

Nutritional/Detoxification Programs:
What we eat fuels our bodies. Many times living to eat certain foods overrides our need to eat quality foods to live. If our internal system is not accessing quality foods, nutritional deficiencies arise quickly setting up an environment of malfunction and inability to heal properly. Many people do not know which nutrients, in what quantity, and in what form is needed for their specific body. Quantity is not the key to nutritional health, it is finding out and replenishing the specific needs of your body that is important. Individualized detoxification programs and nutritional supplementation may be necessary to accelerate and sustain healing and ultimately lead to creation of health on a daily basis. We utilize only the highest quality of nutrients for maximum benefit.

NST-NeuroStructural Integration Technique:
It is a complete holistic approach to bodywork and healing. It is a technique used to “reset” the body through a specific sequence of subtle “moves” applied across muscle, tendons, and nerves which allows natural restorative healing. This gentle, non-invasive technique taps into the body’s own wisdom of healing. NST strongly effects the autonomic nervous system which is more associated with the healing, relaxation, and meditative states of the body.

Wellness Care:
This type of care goes well beyond symptom management. Our goal is to balance the mind, body & energy as quickly as possible so that symptoms are no longer a necessity. From there our goal is to tap into and help you express your unlimited potential of optimal health! This is true prevention.

Therapeutic Massage
Touch of Life Chiropractic provides a synergistic approach that allows each person to go deeper into healing. Our massage therapist works closely with Dr. Lee to collaborate on the best approach for each client. The intent of our massage therapist, the healing space of TLC, and synergistic component of your overall experience allows each massage to be an experience beyond words. We always look to the whole person’s physical, chemical, and spiritual well being, and reawakening that mind body connection. Our aim is simply to be the vehicle by which the power that created you helps you remember and reach your highest human potential.

How does your healing modality work?
Each of us were born with the inherent ability to self heal and self regulate. No manual is needed for an infant to grow into an adult nor is any external instruction needed to heal a paper cut-it’s automatic and taken care of by the subconscious mind and nervous system. If the stresses are less, the body will adapt and go back to creating more energy and health. If the stresses are more than the body can handle, the body cannot adapt quickly, there is increased degeneration and inflammation and we get a symptom . Symptoms and disease is the body’s way of adapting to the increased stress. So, we want to find out the cause of the symptoms, address that stress and allow the body to regain balance.

Stresses include physical, chemical (what we eat, drink, breathe, etc) and most importantly mental/emotional. Everything that we think causes our body to react-positive thoughts create positive chemical reactions in the body and negative thoughts create negative responses which “short circuits” or wastes energy. We not only think 24 hours a day 7 days a week but also store all of our experiences in our subconscious mind! So, if not updated, a negative experience when you were 6 is still creating negative reactions in your body and wasting energy today! That’s energy that could be going to the heart, thyroid, helping the digestive system, feeding the muscles, etc.

B.E.S.T. is an incredible technique which allows us to balance and integrate the subconscious and conscious minds. The conscious mind runs our life but the subconscious mind runs our body. It allows us to get to and update the cause of wasted energy, short circuits, and symptoms.

Acupuncture allows us to balance more specifically the energetic body and balance hormones.
We utilize a combination of techniques depending on your individual needs. Each technique is a tool which allows us to identify and resolve interference in the perfection that is your body. This allows the body to have more energy and time to take care of what it needs to as it was designed to do. We also look at and help modify the CHOICES which created the stress in the first place.

How do you see your services evolving over the next three years?
I believe my practice is a reflection of myself. Therefore, I am constantly seeking to increase my own awareness, knowledge and skill so that I can bring the best to my practice members. I believe that all of life is shifting and changing constantly and that by definition is growth and healing. Therefore, I am confident that my practice will continue to grow in depth whether it is with the same techniques or with new ones. My objective is to help create the most change within the least amount of time! It only takes a moment for a miracle.

Over the next couple of years, my intent is to be of serve to as many individuals and families as I can. There is also a very special place in my heart for kids of all ages. My goal is to work with and teach more children how incredible their mind, body & energy are and to show them the power of their CHOICE.

Benefits

What are the benefits/results people see?
We are so blessed to see incredible results with our practice members. Most of the time within the first session the person will notice some positive change: increased range of motion, decreased pain, feel more relaxed/lighter, and even have emotional releases. Many of our practice members come to us with a goal of getting rid of a particular symptom. As we decrease interference and increase function of the mind, body & energy, the symptoms resolve quickly. However, along the way, they also find resolution in their lives, as we help them go through steps of forgiveness, find lessons to their past experiences, shift perspectives, and ignite their creative energy! We have had many members not only feel great, lose weight naturally, regain physical strength, but also change jobs, establish stronger bonds with their family, and find who they are!

Why do people come to see you?
I believe that there are no coincidences and therefore I cherish each person that I encounter-to not only share my knowledge but to learn from them as well. Most people come to see me to get rid of one problem or another. Or for assistance to increase their overall health-mind, body & spirit. 99% of new clients are referred to me by someone who has utilized our services.

Who is an ideal client?
An ideal practice member is anyone that is open and seeking more knowledge, committed to themselves enough to change, courageous enough to take the first steps, and willing enough to work together to create a mind, body & spirit beyond their expectations.

What makes you different/good at what you do?
I absolutely LOVE what I do! My practice is a reflection of me and I am committed to knowledge/wisdom, constant refinement, and excellence in whatever I do. At a young age I witnessed the miracle of the mind, body & spirit as my dad gifted us 8 more years of his life with us after a massive stroke. I deeply respect and honor life and am committed to helping myself and others create the best life possible!

Philosophy/Approach

Describe your healing philosophy:
I, as the healer, do not heal a thing! I facilitate healing. As a healer I respect and honor the perfection of our body & spirit. The body is miraculously made to self heal and self regulate. Therefore it is my job and intention to listen, ask the right questions, bring about more awareness and learning, and facilitate balance of the mind, body & energy systems. As we achieve that, the body inherently takes over and heals what it needs to in the order it needs to.

Describe your style or approach:
My approach is to honor the body, mind & spirit and to allow it to show me the way. My style is gentle, simple, truthful, and effective-the body is never wrong and when balanced will always produce miracles!

Why do you do what you do?
I absolutely love it.

What to expect

Describe a typical session:
A typical session begins with practice member lying face down. As I lay my hands on the person’s back, neck and rest of the body I am getting a sense of the energy distribution, muscle tightness, & energy blocks. Then we will balance the sympathetic & parasympathetic nervous systems by finding the most tender spots on tight muscles throughout the side of the legs, hips, along the spine and neck.

Then the person will go on their back. Again I scan and get a sense of energy blocks & where holding stress. We then go through a series of muscle tests looking for the priority “short circuit” which may be correlated with a chief complaint, organ stress, toxicity, memory, and/or energy. Once found, the practice member is instructed with specifics of breath, eye position, a specific feeling, and number while I hold pressure points. The adjustment is complete when there are no “short circuits” relating to the priority.

Initial session and re-assessment includes Insight Millennium Scan. See Services above.

How long is a typical session?
B.E.S.T 5-15 minutes Acupuncture 15-20 minutes. N.S.T. 20 min Chiropractic Adjustment: 5 mins.
