Personal Consultation


There are times in our lives when we realize that good information and good guidance are essential. Quite often we contemplate the decision to move forward and take charge of our lives for months, even years before we act. In reality, most of us understand that our external circumstances, as difficult as they may be, are often harder to address than the underlying issues that hold us back. Wouldn’t it be easier, if you knew there was someone you could trust, someone with a combination of expertise and compassion, someone with a broader understanding of the conditions that we face that could help us break free from old habits?

Specifically, more and more individuals now recognize the value of approaches that emphasize the significance in taking control of their health through their own practices and life-style choices. Most significantly, they seek practitioners who help them feel better about themselves and more effectively help them identify and incorporate ways to accomplish this goal.

Mission
My mission is simply to help people. Those who seek my counsel bring with them their own intelligence and understanding of the issues that they face, yet have not been as successful as they hope to be in addressing them. I hold a space somewhere between the medical institutions that confine us and a world with far greater possibilities. By providing this bridge the path becomes clearer.

One might call the work:  A “second opinion” from a holistic medical perspective. In essence, it examines the details and elements that contribute to health and wellness. The process works to cultivate well being even in the face of symptoms associated with our physical existence–our ailments, illness and age. By examining the nature of healing itself the answers become self evident.

The challenge, however, is to find the strength and energy to transcend the physical. My hope is to help each person identify what is best for them to find this energy as well as the state of balance which offers true health and vitality.

Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medicine is an approach to healthcare that emphasizes the ability of individuals to heal by natural processes. To accomplish this, each person must recognize their central and essential role in their own health and well-being. Similarly, health practitioners must defer their “authority” to nature and respect the individual’s need to direct the process. The essential role of the practitioner is in the healing partnership; creating a relationship that is charged by the practitioner’s intelligence and experience, skills and intention.

Integrative Medicine is healing and prevention oriented. It incorporates modalities that focus on the mind and spirit as well as those that are more conventionally rooted in the biological sciences. Integrative Medicine is finding its place with those whose minds are open while remaining grounded in credible practices.
