Physical manipulation involves the manual manipulation of the bones and other soft tissues in the body to allow for posture realignment and facilitation of a free-flowing nervous system.

Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) is a mind-body technique developed to help harmonize and release neuro-emotional incongruencies stuck in the body.
Naturopathic Visits
Our whole-person health assessments are scheduled for 120 minutes in order to allow ample time to go over your entire medical history, current symptoms, diet, lifestyle, supplements/medications, and any medical records provided. Your health assessment also includes any necessary physical exams and recommendations for labs, imaging, and/or referrals.
After labs and imaging are completed and reviewed, you will receive a personalized health and wellness strategy plan that you and your doctor have agreed upon, and you can implement the recommendations right away.
Depending on how long you’ve had your symptoms or condition, you should see improvements in anywhere from 1 day to 2-3 months. It’s important to remember that the longer you’ve had a condition, the longer it can take to heal. Age, immune status, genetics, chronic stressors, and overall health status can also play a role. Our naturopathic doctors and therapists are here to support you through any phase of the process to get you feeling better as quickly as possible.

Acupuncture
Modern studies show that needling specific acupuncture points can directly affect the nervous system and major organs, including the brain, spinal cord, and muscles. Some studies have shown that acupuncture can affect dopamine, serotonin, b-endorphin, and norepinephrine levels and that needling certain points can reduce inflammation, regulate cortisol levels, stimulate white blood cell production, and lower blood pressure.
**Acupuncture sessions are frequently paired with other practitioner-recommended therapies including red or infrared light therapy, cupping, gua sha, and/or e-stim. Sessions can be accompanied by music or guided meditation to enhance the treatment experience. Your provider will discuss any additional procedures that might accompany your treatment and can address any questions before you begin.

Growth Hour
Life Coaching + Acupuncture
Growth Hour is an intentional, transformative hour set aside just for you – to set goals, learn, heal, and transform. This is your time to practice mindfulness and acceptance of where you are at, receive teaching, guidance, and motivation, and stay accountable to making progress in your most important goals.
Designed for high achievers and those looking for a designated time for consistent, supported personal development, Growth Hour involves 30 minutes of life coaching followed by a 30-minute acupuncture session with guided meditation. The acupuncture treatment protocol and meditation are customized for you based on your coaching session that day and the 5-element philosophy utilized in Traditional Chinese Medicine. (Alternatively, if the client prefers not to have acupuncture, a PEMF session with infrared therapy can be done without the acupuncture.)
What is life coaching? How is it different than therapy?
Therapy offers a safe space with a trusted expert trained in trauma and mental health conditions who can help you explore the deeper aspects of your past that are showing up and dictating your current experiences, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy helps you discover the “why” behind your thoughts and behavior patterns, identify triggers/trauma responses and unhealthy relationship dynamics, and consider alternative perspectives and truths about yourself and your life. This process is often long-term and occurs at a comfortable pace for exploration and finding clarity. Therapy is best for those struggling with a history of self-destructive behavior due to unresolved trauma, PTSD, helplessness, hopelessness, anxiety, grief, panic, relationship issues, persistent negative thoughts, addiction, etc.
Life coaching, though it also fosters personal growth and self-awareness, is more action-based and focuses on the “how to” for setting goals and making life changes, as well as accountability in taking action steps towards a happier, healthier lifestyle. Life coaches do not explore the past but rather accept the client’s current state as the launching pad for setting and clarifying goals. Coaches will typically offer more health and wellness education for optimization (within their scope of practice), as well as motivation and accountability. They provide exercises and resources for consistent self-discovery and self-discipline in different areas – mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional. Coaching can be beneficial for sticking to a goal, navigating major life changes, or consistently showing up as your best and most authentic self.
Both therapy and life coaching can help you grow as a person and help you reach your goals. If you are seeking more clarity, support, connection, or healing, therapy is probably the best place to start. If you’ve benefited from years of therapy or feel ready to challenge yourself in healthy ways, life coaching may be a good fit for you. Some clients see both a therapist and a life coach.
If you’re unsure where to start, we offer free 15-minute consults to help you determine what kind of support might be best. Text, call or fill out our contact form today!

Botanical Medicine
Although western medicine emphasizes pharmaceuticals, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 88% of countries globally currently utilize botanical medicine or herbal medicine as a part of their health care systems, and at least 40% of all modern pharmaceuticals are derived from plants.
The health benefits of botanicals lie in their complexity. Unlike pharmaceuticals, botanicals contain many different compounds that can work together to heal numerous health ailments.
Botanicals can be used to support nearly every medical condition. There are hundreds of valuable herbal medicines. Some of the most popular herbs and conditions they are used for include:
- peppermint – nausea, indigestion
- aloe – minor burns, skin irritation
- turmeric– joint pain and general inflammation
- tea tree oil – fungal infections (e.g. athlete’s foot)
- ashwagandha – stress, anxiety and low mood
- green tea – sluggish metabolism, low energy, lack of focus
- ginger – nausea, indigestion
- hemp – anxiety, pain, sleep
Constitutional Hydrotherapy
Constitutional hydrotherapy involves the alternating application of hot and cold towels in conjunction with a low-voltage e-stim called sine wave which is applied to the back and abdomen. The patient lies comfortably on a table wrapped in sheets and a wool blanket while towels are applied to the back, chest and abdomen. Variations in the temperature of the towels, timing (duration, frequency, and time of the day), location of towels and e-stim pads, pressure, compress and wrap materials, and level of wetness are all variables controlled by the physician that have an impact on the treatment outcome.
Treatments typically last about one hour. The number of treatments depends on the needs of each patient, but a common recommendation is once per week for four to six consecutive weeks in order to receive the greatest benefit.
Cost
- 60-70 min treatment – $120
- Package of 6 – $570 ($95/session)
Homeopathy
Most patients see improvements immediately or within the first week. Upon starting a new remedy, your current symptoms may initially aggravate for a few hours or days and old symptoms from the past may reappear. Both of these are considered normal and even positive reactions. Remedies are effective for varying lengths of time and are highly dependent on your individual progression. Regular, much shorter follow-ups are encouraged to assess whether a dose or remedy should be changed.
But how does it actually work? Is there any science or logic to this?
Because these principals don’t follow modern science or logic, homeopathy has incurred many skeptics. Choosing a remedy is highly individualized and it can be very difficult to study these types of alternative treatments with the same scientific methods we use for studying pharmaceutical drugs. In terms of randomized clinical trials, the data is inconclusive. However, there are thousands of published individual case studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of homeopathy. Although we don’t know how something works (scientists still don’t know exactly how Tylenol works!), there may be good reasons for using an alternative therapy. Some of these reasons are lack of available alternatives, treatment accessibility, potential side effects, patient preference, treatment compliance, and avoiding drug interactions.

Red Light Therapy (RLT) &
Infrared Light Therapy (IRLT)
RLT devices come in different classes based on their features and range from consumer to medical grade. Always check with your doctor before purchasing a home device or starting a new therapy like RLT.
IRLT refers to non-visible red light with longer wavelengths than RLT. Infrared waves also generate heat and can penetrate further into the body than RLT waves. This allows for healing of deeper tissues and increased circulation and detox effects. IRLT is used in many forms including saunas, mats, lamps and more. It is important to note that infrared saunas are different from traditional dry saunas. A dry sauna uses electricity or wood to heat the air around you. The hot air heats your skin and superficial body tissues to very high temperatures which results in sweating as a cool-down response. Infrared saunas use light waves to heat your deeper body tissues, and can be done at lower or higher temperatures. With an infrared sauna, you can still get some of the benefits from lower temperatures which may be a safer option for some patients.
Physical Manipulation
Many patients also derive long-term benefit from combining physical manipulation with things like regular stretching or yoga, strength training, physical therapy, soft tissue treatments, red light therapy, acupuncture, or massage to support the structural work. We can help customize an individual healing treatment plan for you based on your unique needs and goals.
Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET)
Neuro-emotional incongruencies in the body will often feel like your brain and your body are not on the same page. If you say, “I like going to school,” but your heart starts racing and you start sweating when you say it, your body might feel differently. Or perhaps you say, “I feel safe driving” but can barely get the words out because you immediately have a flash back to a bad accident. These are signs there might be something emotional coming up with those thoughts. Interestingly, your muscles also get weaker when your body has an emotional reaction to something. The nervous system has to divert some attention to the emotional response and can no longer maintain as much strength. When there is no emotional reaction, the muscle can stay strong.
