Teaching/Healing Philosophy:

Health is much more than just the absence of detectable disease; it is a state of total harmony in one's being. Almost everything we measure in nature shows a normal (bell-shaped) curve. It is critical to remember that normal ranges are just that - normal (statistical) ranges.  Some people naturally live outside of normal ranges - they live in the tails of the normal curve. Healing is the art of discovering a person's natural balance points and assisting them to achieve that harmony.
