Naturopathic Doctors (ND) are medically trained, naturally focused physicians who shine in treating chronic conditions. The general educational structure for naturopathic doctors is comparable to that of conventional medical doctors (MDs) and osteopathic doctors (DOs). The key difference is their extensive training in nutrition, herbal medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, naturopathic manipulations, counseling, and homeopathy. For most ailments, NDs tend to opt for natural treatments before resorting to pharmaceutical or surgical interventions.

Rolfing® Structural Integration allows for an abundance of vitality and empowerment by creating a sense of spaciousness within the body. Named after its founder, Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Rolfing® Structural Integration is a form of bodywork that reorganizes the connective tissues, called fascia, that permeate the entire body.

More than fifty years ago, Dr. Rolf recognized that the body is inherently a system of seamless networks of tissues rather than a collection of separate parts. These connective tissues surround, support, and penetrate all of the muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. Rolfing Structural Integration works on this web-like complex of connective tissues to release, realign, and balance the whole body, thus potentially resolving discomfort, reducing compensations, and alleviating pain. Rolfing SI aims to restore flexibility, revitalize your energy, and leave you feeling more comfortable in your body.

Essentially, the Rolfing process enables the body to regain the natural integrity of its form, thus enhancing postural efficiency and your freedom of movement.


CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy is a manual therapy. It can be used to treat not only the patient’s body but the whole person as well. The characteristic feature of CST is a gentle touch. The therapist works in a non-invasive way, using a light pressure of no more than 5 grams. Through connective tissue relationships, the whole craniosacral system is affected.

Reiki is believed to have its roots in a lost spiritual healing art from Tibet practiced thousands of years ago. It was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the late 1800s while meditating on Mt. Kurama.

Spiritual healing is one of the oldest forms of healing available today. The theory behind Reiki is that we are made up of universal energy and that this energy extends beyond the physical, visible self. Reiki practitioners help to channel this energy to areas of the body and subtle bodies that are blocked or out of balance. Reiki is said to go to where it is needed and can work on multiple levels of the self, lower, higher, and present. Some notable benefits of reiki include stress reduction, pain reduction, release of emotional blocks, and relaxation.

NAET ( Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques )

NAET is a non-invasive, drug-free, holistic treatment based on a combination of techniques from Western medicine (allopathic) and traditional natural and East Asian medicine (e.g., chiropractic, kinesiology, and acupuncture). According to Chinese medicine, founded thousands of years ago, health is defined as a state of balance within an individual and between the individual and nature.

NAET consists of a combination of kinesiology, acupressure, and Acupuncture. Kinesiology (also called Muscle Testing) is used to identify allergies or sensitivities. Then, Acupressure is used along the spinal nerves, and Acupuncture is used at specific points while the patient is in contact with the allergen.

It is proposed that by stimulating the specific afferent and efferent nerves and nociceptors in dorsal root ganglia (acupressure) while the person is in contact with the allergen, the NAET treatment can change the characteristic of the previous stimulus into a new one with a different signal. These altered stimuli will carry new information about the antigen to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex. In return, the brain will relay its response to this new information throughout the body. The previously activated immune response will get deactivated or replaced by a new relayed signal. The previously perceived harmful substance is now recognized as being relatively harmless.
