Elements of Health
Currently Accepting New Patients :
What is pediatric integrative medicine?
An area of medicine that looks at the whole child, which includes his/her environment, sleep hygiene, nutrition, relationships, movement, and spirit to help optimize health. Every child has a unique and individualized plan and there is no “one size fits all” approach. My goal is to help each child thrive as wellness starts from good health.
What is culinary medicine?
This is an area of medicine that focuses on the relationships between food and disease. The goal is to restore wellbeing by focusing on high quality nutrition.
What is mind body medicine?
Mind body medicine helps individuals focus on present moment awareness. When children are focused on the now, the anxiety about the future and the fear of the past, cannot live. Techniques such as meditation, yoga, guided imagery, and breathwork are utilized for this practice.
What is clinical hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic tool that is utilized to get to the root cause of health issues. Children are highly suggestible which helps bring about a relaxed state that can create lasting transformation. This is a great technique to help with a variety of symptoms and disease processes.
