NATURAL HEALTH CONSULTATIONS 
Please note, I do not diagnose problems. I simply offer recommendations that work in accordance to the natural rhythms of your body and get you back to the basics of healthy living.
The two types of consultations offered are:
NATURAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT & WELLNESS CONSULTATION
This is considered an initial consultation to the Healing & Wellness Consultation and lasts two hours. Prior to the appointment, you will receive health history forms and a 6-page questionnaire. During the appointment, I review your forms and ask questions. The questionnaire is graphed out and prioritizes the most- to the least-stressed areas of the body. This gives us an overall picture of how your body is functioning as a unit. I will continue the session by asking questions to help us get to the root of any issues you may be experiencing. To address and nourish the needs of the physical body, we’ll discuss proper food choices individualized for you, including combining the right foods for healthy digestion (including eat right for your blood type) and eliminating food allergens. I may utilize assessment tools such as iridology and muscle response testing. At the conclusion of the session, I will give recommendations and develop a client program for you to follow. An update session (Healing & Wellness) is included in the cost of this initial consultation and is scheduled two weeks later.
HEALING & WELLNESS CONSULTATION
This unique service provides an opportunity to have a guided tour through one of our local health food stores, the East Lansing Food Co-op. Located just minutes away from Natural Rhythms Holistic Health, we will spend 45 minutes to one hour touring the co-op. As we journey through the aisles, I will describe items, answer questions and give recommendations about choices. If you are a current client, this tour will be tailored to the recommendations that were given to you during your consultation.
Advantages to taking the tour are:
If you would like to have your own supply of essential oils but are not sure which ones to pick, call to set up an appointment with me to explore oil choices free of charge. As a distributor for Young Living Essential oils, I have a supply of over 100 oils in the office that you can smell before you purchase. These are high quality and PURE, THERAPEUTIC-GRADE oils. The feeling you gain from the aroma is
oil-specific.
I offer two services that work specifically with these PURE, THERAPEUTIC-GRADE Young Living oils:
EMOTIONAL RELEASE
The length of an emotional release session is one hour. While lying on the massage table, fully clothed in a relaxed setting, I begin by guiding you through relaxing breathing techniques. During the session, specific essential oil blends will be placed on your shoulders and feet and over your heart, liver and naval areas. These blends work to help you release anger and hurt and bring you forgiveness and joy. It is generally a quiet session where time is allowed to let the oils do their work.
You may get visions that give you clarity or even feel energetic shifts in your body. These are positive effects of the emotional release. The nice thing about working with these oils is that you do not need to re-experience the trauma to release it. Clients report feeling energetically lighter, more spiritually connected, emotionally uplifted and very relaxed after a session.
RAINDROP THERAPY
This unique therapy will also help to reduce spinal inflammations, kill viruses that hibernate along the spinal column and help straighten spinal curvatures.
Although a session lasts for 45 minutes to one hour, the oils will continue to work in the body for a week or more following the treatment.
All energy healing sessions are one hour. Chakra Balancing is included in the Light Healing Touch session. Meridian corrections, tuning forks and magnets can be incorporated into your Light Healing Touch session or a separate appointment to focus solely on those therapies can also be made.
After several rounds of raking your energy field, I will work more closely on areas that still feel congested and then proceed to balancing the chakras. From there, I will continue to work through the energy field or add the use of magnets or tuning forks to the session.
CHAKRA BALANCING
MERIDIAN CORRECTIONS
TUNING FORKS
MAGNETS
As a Naturopath, I find interpreting astrology charts to be quite beneficial to the holistic approach. It can seem like a missing link to fully understanding unconscious patterns that can keep a person stuck. This position, over time, can negatively affect the emotional and mental states and manifest into physical problems.
An Astrology reading will allow you to:
Prior to the reading, I will need to gather your birth data (date, time and location) and spend time analyzing your birth chart. The session is one hour long and tailored to your questions and needs.
This session is one hour and focuses on healing an acute issue you are experiencing. Although it is recommended to first have the two hour initial consultation (described under Natural Health Assessment & Wellness section), this condensed version is an option. These appointments can be made on an as-needed basis with an abbreviated health history form to fill out at the appointment. In this focused session, I will suggest remedies that can help heal the issue you are having. If this is a follow-up appointment to the Natural Health Assessment consultation, it will focus on updating your progress, tweaking your program if necessary and delving deeper into healing your health issues.
FIELD TRIP TO HEALTH FOOD STORE
Walking into a health food store for the first time can be overwhelming. Labels look different, brands are unfamiliar and bulk items seem
foreign. You may start to wonder, "Where do I begin?"
ESSENTIAL OILS
Essential oils are distilled from plants and their respective parts (seeds, bark, leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruit, etc.) and work physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically. The benefit to applying the oils or just taking in the aroma is that they contain many healing properties in their chemical constituents. Essential oils have properties that regenerate, oxygenate and boost the immune defense of plants, and they have the same effect in humans. They can also have positive effects when diffused in your home environment because of their anti-infectious properties.
Raindrop Therapy
Emotional Release is an energy healing session that focuses on releasing emotional blocks that interfere with a person’s ability to heal and move forward. It is not necessary to know exactly what the stuck emotions are, but rather a willingness to let go of whatever may be
blocking you. Essential oils are vital in this session as they are capable of traveling to the place in the brain - the amygdala gland - where emotions/trauma is stored. The aroma from the essential oil helps release these stored emotions.
Raindrop therapy works more on the physical body, but also has a relaxing effect. This technique involves dropping essential oils directly onto the spine through the auric field, which is located about 6 inches above the body. The oils are then worked into the spine using light strokes with the fingers which stimulates nerve impulses and disperses the oils throughout the body’s nervous system. In this way, the body can be brought into balance and the energy centers can be cleared. The same oils that are applied to the spine are also applied to the feet during this session.
ENERGY HEALING
The energy field, also known as the aura, surrounds our body and allows us to sense things in our environment. Occurrences in this field can be felt as physical sensations, or SUDDEN emotions or thoughts. Some people may be more sensitive to feeling this than others. When there is physical pain, it can congest the energy body or vice versa. Therefore, clearing this energy congestion helps reduce physical pain. Emotions and thoughts can also influence the energetic body or vice versa. This is why people report feeling emotionally lifted and mentally balanced after receiving energy work.
LIGHT HEALING TOUCH
Blocks in the energy field can create blocks in the body or vice versa. These blocks can stem from a mental, emotional or physical place. Light healing touch utilizes hands-on or hands- above-the-body techniques in a relaxed setting to clear energy blocks from the body. I begin with a technique called "raking" the energy. The purpose of this is to start smoothing out and clearing areas of stuck or congested energy. While I am doing this, I am also taking note of what I'm feeling in your energy field. The experience of feeling energy is different for everyone. For me, when there is energy congestion, I feel a sensation of heat on my hands when moving them over certain areas of your body. I may also feel some areas to be cooler or warmer than others. This allows me to get a better feel for how the energy is flowing. The goal is to have a balance in the flow of energy throughout the entire body.
This technique works with the seven main chakras and several of the minor chakras to create a connection and balance among them and the energy flow throughout your body. To start the connection, I begin with the minor chakras of the ankles, knees and hips. When they are connected, I can feel the energy sensation in my hands before moving to the next spot. It takes time, as I work my way up the body through each of the seven chakras. When there is a chronic issue in a certain area of the body, the energy of the related chakra may be closed. This technique helps to awaken or open up the chakra, which can stimulate the flow of energy to that area and help bring relief.
This technique works with the subtle energy lines or pathways - known as meridians - that run up and down the body. During a correction, pressure points are lightly held until the nerves and muscles respond strongly, indicating that there has been a change and that blockages along the pathways have been removed. This allows organs and systems within the body to function more efficiently, and symptoms - even those seemingly unrelated - begin to diminish.
Tuning forks, when tapped, create high-pitched sounds that resonate on healing frequencies that the body can recognize. The tuning forks used in this session intone the original Solfeggio frequencies from the ancient Gregorian chants. These ancient chants, with their special tones, helped with healing the sick. The six frequencies of the tuning forks are UT, RE, MI, FA, SOL and LA. These Solfeggio frequencies resonate with the body to liberate guilt and fear, undo situations, and facilitate change, transformation and miracles (DNA repair), connecting/relationships and awakening intuition, respectively.
During this session, the client lies on the massage table, fully clothed, as the magnets are placed on the areas of concern. Magnets are quite helpful in relieving pain, inflammation and are helpful in clearing infections. They work so well because the magnets replace positive ions with negative ions in the body. Positive ions are associated with a wide variety of physical ailments such as pain, inflammation and bacterial growth. When positive ions are replaced with negatives ions, pain and inflammation is reduced and bacterial growth becomes inhibited.
LYMPHATIC DRAIN MASSAGE
This massage technique focuses on stimulating the drainage of the body's lymph system. This is a gentle technique that will help eliminate fluid retention, cleanse your body and eliminate toxins. It helps alleviate conditions such as swelling and chronic pain. It activates lymph function and circulation and indirectly stimulates the blood circulation. Good for breast health, lymphatic drain relieves tenderness and helps dissolve lumps.
ASTROLOGICAL NATAL CHART READING
This statement refers to the energetic macrocosmic map of the stars and planets (above) to the imprint it makes on us (below). When we are born, we become the microcosmic expression of these energies and continue to be influenced by them throughout our lives. Becoming conscious of how these energies affect us and learning how to apply them to life is a benefit to receiving an astrological reading. It is important to note that astrology is not a religion, but a science. Tried and true, its premises are based on mathematics and more than 5,000 years of scholarly observation and recording.
