Services

Describe your services:
Naturopathy is natural healthcare that emphasizes holistic, preventative medicine and wellness. The core belief is education – the passing on of knowledge to empower the patient.

Incorporating:
Ondamed (scans the entire body for blockages in organs, while taking the pulse finding areas that are not functioning properly then can give a treatment all thru frequencies. These frequencies have been shown to correlate to specific organs, each organ resonating to a unique cluster of frequencies) The result is pain relief, physically and emotionally treats depression, smoking cessation, weight loss, find and treat bacteria-viruses, and nutritional deficiencies.

Thermography (whole body scan to find out the functions of your organs and an alternative to mammography)

Iridology (health analysis thru reflexology of the eye, one can see degeneration and toxicity in the organs of the body),

ART/APN Muscle Testing (autonomic response muscle testing for allergies – food and environmental, hormones, toxins)

Far Infrared Sauna/Hyperthermia (overheating therapy with far-Infrared) detoxes the body of heavy metal, pesticides as well as burns 600 calories in a half hour.
Consultations may have recommendations for homeopathy, herbs, nutrition, lifestyle and detoxification. Lab analysis is available including saliva testing for hormones, urine analysis for breast cancer, hair analysis for metals and blood testing.

How does your healing modality work?
Helps the body to heal itself.

How do you see your services evolving over the next three years?

Benefits

What are the benefits/results people see?

Adults and children looking for holistic solutions to chronic health conditions and/or hormone imbalances.

What makes you different/good at what you do?
My practice is unique because my approach is truly listening, and caring with the intention of helping individuals with my talent and a humble heart and responding to the individual needs of my patients. As a person I travel to a lot of medical conferences for education, and research on my own time is important, so I can pass along the knowledge to my patients. Innovative with cutting edge technology: Thermography, ART – allergy testing, LLLT laser therapy for carpel tunnel, HRV heart rate variability for biofeedback, Far Infrared therapy.

Philosophy/Approach

Describe your healing philosophy:
My philosophy is about educating individuals with tools they can use themselves to help improve their lives, not just giving a medication that they may be dependant on for life. And using means of analysis and products that are not harmful with side effects. The reason for the modalities I use is after completing my Doctorate of Naturopathy I wanted to incorporate more scientific approach to natural medicine. And in traveling to medical conferences was introduced to Quantum Medicine. It was there that I learned of Thermography, Low Level Lasers, and Ondamed.

Through further research found Autonomic Response Muscle Testing, or allergy testing and treatment. The feeling was that it would complete my means of analysis to help the patients find answers and solutions to their symptoms or conditions. Most of the equipment and philosophy is German functional medicine (they look to the functioning of the organs) including homotoxicology (homeopathy that combines detoxification to help the body heal itself) combined with oriental medicine (meridians and energy flow in the body) and western herbalism (American supplementation).

Describe your style or approach:
Holistic, meaning looking beyond the physical symptoms, taking into consideration the whole person body, mind and spirit.

Why do you do what you do?
There is nothing like being able to help people, it is very rewarding.

What to expect

Describe a typical session:
A typical consultation would consist of Iridology, Acupressure point testing and an in-depth history. A session may include allergy testing (ART muscle testing) hormone and environmental testing depending on the patient. Recommendations will be made during the first visit as to herb, homeopathy, nutrition, lifestyle or detoxification in response to individuals needs for care or prevention.

Thermography would be recommended for someone looking for an alternative to mammography, or if they have an unusual condition that they are trying to understand the root cause. For example if an individual has Migraines and want to know if it is the thyroid, hormones, liver, a virus or a combination causing it.

If one is detoxing heavy metals, pesticides want help with arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia or pain management the hyperthermia session is a half hour.

How long is a typical session?
An hour to an hour and a half.

Describe your office or treatment room:
Located in a Historic, Prairie Style building downtown Geneva that is Beautiful, warm and inviting. Many people just as they step in the building comment on how good it feels, they can feel the love here, it’s like a deep breathe (smells good too) and just so relaxing. The environment is calming, serene, peaceful atmosphere, with fountains and lots of plants. A yoga studio owner said “Now, this is a Healing Center .”

How should someone prepare for a session?
For a consultation just their verbal history, lab testing is available if they do not have them already.

Thermography wear loose clothing, and don’t excessively heat up the body with exercise or a long shower.

For hyperthermia bring cotton shorts and a t-shirt to wear, a towel and a big bottle of water.
