Holistic Health and Integrative Therapies

Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness called a trance state. This approach can foster release of stored emotions and promote healing in a shorter amount of time as the subconscious mind is doing all the work. Most individuals know what they “should” do on a conscious level, but it is the subconscious mind that is the driving force behind change!

- Supports regulation of the nervous system
- Assists in releasing emotions that are stored in the body from past experiences and traumatic events
- Improves Sleep
- Decreases anxiety both emotionally and physically
- Aides in supporting digestive health

Homeopathy
Homeopathy was founded in the late 18th Century by Dr. Samuel Hahnermann, based on the principle that “like cures like.” Homeopathy utilizes a vast number of natural substances to support imbalances in the body that surface as emotional and physical health symptoms. Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body’s natural healing responses and ability to restore homeostasis.
Benefits of Homeopathy
- Supports all symptoms experienced by an individual including those that are “spiritual, emotional, and physical.”
- Stimulates the body’s natural healing response
- Awakens the “vital force” also known as life energy to stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal
- Focuses on the root cause of the health condition, not just masking the symptoms
- Encourages opening of the drainage pathways and gentle detoxification of vital organs and systems

- Improves overall immunity
“Patients with Anxiety or Mood Disorders, who chose to consult a practitioner prescribing homeopathy reported less use of psychotropic medications, and were marginally more likely to experience clinical improvement, than patients managed with conventional care.”
