Education and Practice
Doctor of Naturopathy (ND), Clayton College of Natural Health (2001)
Bachelors of Science (BS), Biology/Pre-Med and Psychology, Florida State University (1976).
I'm first and foremost an intuitive and practical educator of natural health. During the years I was pursuing my ND, I furthered my studies with renowned herbalists, homeopaths, naturopathic physicians, MDs, an Oriental MD and acupuncturist and 2 Ayurvedic physicians to bridge the gap in experiential knowledge, receive some clinical training and pursue certification classes such as:
- Ayurvedic principles and practice,
- Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture,
- Massage therapy (shiatsu) and foot/hand reflexology,
- Botanical formulations and protocols
- Nutritional therapies and protocols
- Aromatherapy Level I/II training
- Homeopathy Seminar (NUPATH)
- Iridology & Sclerology (iris & sclera readings)
Services offered at our center include:
- Weight Loss programs
- Pain Reduction programs
- Fitness programs such as lower back strength training
- Addiction Mitigation and Release through Herbs
- Protocols for many chronic diseases, including MS, cancer, lupus, diabetes, etc.
Spiritual Orientation. The most valued learning I received was at the feet of a great Sufi saint, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with him), who employed ayurvedic principles in his daily living and example; but his real medicine wasn't of this world, meant with the utmost sincerity and humility.
What to Expect. A session begins with an affirmation, then a complete history that typically uncovers constitutional type, health issues and family traits and tendencies. I then guide and teach about naturopathic health, lifestyle conversion and advise on approaches to improving health. During a session I usually offer ideas about how to attain more optimum health through naturopathic principles of living and may even take clients outside to walk barefoot in the grass and learn how to breathe correctly.
Many diverse cases are seen at our center such as chronic illnesses, migraines, digestive ailments, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
