Acupressure The application of pressure (as with the thumbs or fingertips) to the same specific points on the body that are stimulated in acupuncture treatments. These key points on the skin are used to encourage the flow of energy "Qi" to the related physiological systems and internal organs to promote self healing.- Find a Practitioner Acupuncture Originating in China, acupuncture is based on an energetic model. Energy or "Qi" flows along specific pathways in our bodies called "meridians". Each meridian is associated with particular physiological systems and internal organs. Acupuncture involves the insertion of the tips of needles into the skin at specific points along these meridians for the purpose of treating various disorders by stimulating nerve impulses. Acupuncture is effective for treating chronic pain, allergies, respiratory problems, digestive problems, skin disorders and hormonal problems.- Find a Practitioner Akashic Records The Akashic Records are the individual records of a soul from the time it extends from God/Source until it returns. At the time we make the decision to experience life in density on this planet, there is a field of energy created to record every thought, word, emotion and action generated by that experience. That field of energy is the Akashic Records and its objective is to record all life experience. The information in the Akashic Records helps us bring our past and our future present in our "now". By accessing the Akashic Records, we can identify and release anything we have created that has become a block to our present realization of our oneness with God/Source. We can look at why we have addictive patterns, why we choose the relationships we do, why we have created our habitual responses and how to create action in our lives instead of reaction. Akashic Records assist the client in understanding their soul's original intent and remembering our oneness with God.- Find a Practitioner Animal Health Holistic health practitioners who specialize in animal care.- Find a Practitioner Aromatherapy The inhalation and bodily application of essential oils from aromatic plants to relax, balance, rejuvenate, restore or enhance body, mind and spirit.

This ultimately leads to the body's own healing of disease.- Find a Practitioner Biofeedback This technique helps the client develop the ability to control certain physiological processes and is particularly useful with stress-related conditions or for conditions where there is muscle dysfunction. The biological signals produced by the body (heart rate, breathing rate, etc.) are monitored by sensors on the skin’s surface and provide "feedback" to the patient. The practitioner helps the patient learn how to make voluntary changes in those biological functions and bring them under control.- Find a Practitioner Bioidentical Hormones The use of natural hormones to make up for the decline or lack of natural hormones produced in a person’s body. During the aging process, declining hormone levels can cause a person to become overweight, lose muscle mass and skin elasticity, and become easily fatigued. Bioidentical hormones are available for both men and women.- Find a Practitioner BioMeridian Testing BioMeridian Testing is a noninvasive method used to assess the energy meridians (energy channels) of the body.
The BioMeridian Test is a comprehensive evaluation of your energetic health and balance. It identifies where your body needs help and support by identifying weakness in any of the tissues of the body.
The test is performed by contacting the instrument (stylus) with each of the 60 meridian points on the hands and feet. The test measures the energy at the meridian points, which directs the practitioner to probable areas of imbalance.
After the measurements have been collected, the results are reviewed. If stress values are above or below equilibrium, the sophisticated software will report those readings.
The BioMeridian Test can tell you the functional status of your meridians and their related organs and systems. This is determined by any stress, imbalance, or weakness that shows up on the test.
The BioMeridian Test can also let you know if you have specific sensitivities to foods, molds pollens, etc. and which specific nutritional products will bring your unbalanced meridians back to balance.
If you have spinal misalignments interfering with your meridian energy flow, this will also show up, along with the location of the misalignments.
All of this information helps the practitioner provide a protocol that is customized specifically for that individual.- Find a Practitioner BioSET Bioenergetic Sensitivity and Enzyme Therapy is a revolutionary, drug-free and painless technique for desensitizing and eliminating allergies.

The toxic metals are then flushed out naturally through the kidneys. Doctors also use natural chelating agents like zinc, garlic, vitamin C, and amino acids. Oral chelation, while less expensive and more convenient, has all the benefits of IV chelation, but is slower acting because a smaller percentage of the dose is absorbed (compared with 100% of an IV dose). Chelation therapy has been used to treat atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, toxicity and heavy metal poisoning (like aluminum, lead or mercury). Check practitoner website for details on which type they provide.- Find a Practitioner Chiropractors Treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems, especially the spine. Spinal or vertebral dysfunction alters many important body functions by affecting the nervous system, and skeletal imbalance can cause pain.

Colon hydrotherapy is a treatment that introduces warm water into the large intestine, releasing stagnant waste material, toxins and intestinal plaque. Another type of colon therapy involves the use of herbs. Herbal colon cleanser formulas can serve as a laxative, absorbing and drawing out toxins, poisons, and heavy metals such as mercury and lead. Colon therapies are useful for general detoxification and ailments such as skin disorders and constipation. Check practitioner website for details on which type they provide.- Find a Practitioner Color Therapy Colors affect moods, emotions, physiological processes. Color therapy uses this sensitivity to color to identify and correct any imbalances in the body's internal energy patterns. Each organ and chakra point has its own characteristic vibrational energy, and disorders can be healed by applying color of the corresponding vibrational energy, either to the whole body, chakra point, or organ concerned. Color seems to have an effect even on blind people, who are thought to sense color as a result of energy vibrations created within the body.- Find a Practitioner Craniosacral Therapy Focuses on reducing tension and stress in the meningeal membrane and its fascial connections to enhance the functioning of the craniosacral system, a fluid circulatory system that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord.

Detoxification Foot Bath is a hydro-therapy device that combines the cleansing properties of water with a specialized bio-electric charge, which cleanses and invigorates the body at the cellular level and gently detoxifies the body of excess heavy metals, toxins, and infections agents. It also results in reduced inflammation and improved liver, kidney and colon function. By pulling out the toxins through the bottom of the feet, the foot bath works quickly and avoids the detox sickness caused by most detoxification protocols. The client will actually see the cleansing process take place as the water interacts with the bio-electric charge. - Find a Practitioner Distance Healing Also known as Remote Healing, is the process of sending healing energy over a distance to someone, much like sending radio signals. The practitioner channels energy to the client to help facilitate healing on several levels including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. This is an option for those who are not able to travel to visit a practitioner.- Find a Practitioner Ear Coning Also known as Ear Candling, is a simple, effective method for removing ear wax build-up, fungus and impaction from within the ear canal. The process can also regulate sinus pressure, assist with post nasal drip, sinusitis, migraines, some forms of hearing loss, and restoration of equilibrium. It requires a hollow candle that tapers at one end to fit into the ear. The other end when lighted draws oxygen for the flame and creates a vacuum. This has the effect of pulling out residue and cleansing the sinus cavity. Ear Coning was a technique used by the ancient Egyptians, Mayans and Tibetans. - Find a Practitioner EFT / TFT Emotional Freedom Technique and Thought Field Therapy are based on the same energy meridians used in acupuncture. The practitioner taps the meridians or pressure points with their fingers while the client focuses on the problem they would like to solve. EFT and TFT can relieve both emotional and physical problems by opening up energy blockages and restoring the mind/body balance. Core emotional issues, as well as physical difficulties, often clear quickly and easily. Some of the many areas in which EFT and TFT are effective are: addictions, pain, depression, anxiety, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) etc. The difference between the two therapies is that TFT uses a specific prescribed tapping sequence depending on the type of problem the client is focusing on; versus with EFT all pressure points are tapped in the same sequence regardless of the type of problem the client wishes to solve. Check practitioner website for details on which type they provide.- Find a Practitioner Electro-dermal screening (Also known as EAV) evaluates the energetic health, nutritional state and toxicity of the client. The assessments are performed by measuring variations in skin characteristics at specific points on the skin, usually on the fingers and toes. Based on acupuncture, these points are connected energetically to the major organs and systems of the body, and from the readings obtained, the functioning of the various organs can then be assessed. Not only an excellent diagnostic tool, electro-dermal screening can be used for treatment as well.- Find a Practitioner EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a technique that is used to lessen the amount of therapeutic time needed to process and resolve traumatic memories. Clients are first asked to visualize the traumatic event as vividly as possible. While retaining this image in mind, clients are then asked to rate their anxiety on a Subjective Units of Distress (SUDs) scale, which ranges from 1 to 10, with 0 being no anxiety and 10 being extreme terror. Clients then visually track the therapist's finger (or other object) as it sweeps rhythmically from right to left. Following each set of issues, clients are asked to "blank out" the visual image and inhale deeply, and then give a revised SUDs rating. The process is continued until the client's SUDs ratings fall to 2 or lower. EMDR is useful for releasing limiting beliefs and traumatic memories.- Find a Practitioner Energy Healing A form of healing that manipulates, restores or balances the flow of energy in the body.

Matrix Energetics sometimes appears magical in its expression but is based on the laws and expression of subtle energy physics and the concepts and laws of quantum physics, superstring theory and Sheldrake's Morphic Resonance.
Matrix Energetics is a complete system of healing, self-care and transformation. It is powered by intent and has a physical and observable effect every time. The client will often see and feel a wave-like motion when Matrix Energetics is applied, as the person being worked on experiences a smooth wave of transformation and the body seems to drop in a completely relaxed wave instantly.
Matrix Energetics practitioners use specific methods of powerful focused intent, combined with application of a light touch method for identifying the parts of the body where the Matrix Energetics "wave" will yield optimum results. What seems to be happening is that the unconsciousness and the biological physical fields are interacting.
According to modern physicists, all reality can be described as vibrations and waveform patterns, that everything is light and information.
Biological information fields form an active, constantly resonating matrix. The vibrations and waveforms in this matrix can be changed, meaning that a current reality such as an injury pattern, disease or other situation within the body or emotions can be introduced to many other new possibilities that are more useful to the client.
Disease may be defined as a disruption, cessation or distortion arising in the matrix of these information fields. Physical and emotional injuries impair communication at the cellular level. The application of the Matrix Energetics field re-establishes the flow of biological information so that the body can better respond to stimuli in its internal and external environments.
This new paradigm gives the client instant access to new states of awareness which make it possible to interact with the material world and transform it - to affect change connected to past traumas, injuries and emotional patterns. Physical and emotional conditions can be resolved with the speed of thought, with verifiable and observable changes.- Find a Practitioner Medical Intuitive A person who "reads" your medical condition without performing an actual physical examination. The practitioner reads your body's energy field and detects imbalances which lead to illness.- Find a Practitioner Meditation Can be defined as focused or deep reflection.

Extremely small pulsating currents of electricity are applied to selected acupuncture points with hand held probes or pads. This very low frequency range is resonant with normal electrical activity of the human body. Little or no electric current is felt. It helps stimulate an electrical field at the cellular level to enhance circulation. MicroCurrent can be used to heal injured muscles, tendons, sports injuries, alleviation of pain, inflammation, spasms, restricted range of motion, and wounds or tissue damage.- Find a Practitioner Myofascial Release Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a highly specialized stretching technique used by practitioners to treat patients with a variety of soft tissue problems.
Poor posture, repetitive strain, injury, illness, inflammation or stress can negatively affect body alignment and cause fascia to become restricted. As the body is forced to adapt to unresolved restrictions, abnormal motion and postures develop, which over time can lead to pain, impaired body movement, weakness, inflammation, or malfunction throughout the body, sometimes with seemingly unrelated symptoms.
Myofascial Release aims to access these areas of blockage and tension to release them, thereby freeing up the muscle and allowing it to move more easily and effectively. Myofascial Release is a form of bodywork, using hands-on pressure, gentle massage and stretching techniques for stretching the fascia, with the goal of eliminating pain, increasing range of motion and balancing the body.
Fascia is located between the skin and the underlying structure of muscle and bone. It is a seamless web of connective tissue that covers and connects the muscles, organs, and skeletal structures in our body. With Myofascial Release the fascia is manipulated, directly or indirectly, allowing the connective tissue fibers to reorganize themselves in a more flexible, functional fashion.
Myofascial Release is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain, restore motion and rehabilitate a range of injuries.- Find a Practitioner NAET Nambudripads Allergy Elimination Therapy is a technique used to eliminate allergic reactions to common foods, chemicals, plants, animal dander and other substances. Treatments consists of muscle testing and spinal acupressure. NAET is based on the theory that allergies are a result of energy blockages in the body caused by contact with the offending substances. NAET releases the blockages and reprograms the body so it learns not to react to the allergen as a threat. Once the body learns a new way of responding, the symptoms disappear and the person is no longer allergic to the substance.- Find a Practitioner Naprapathy A method of treatment based on the belief that pain and disease symptoms arise from problems with the body's connective tissues (muscles, ligaments and tendons).

During the aging process, declining hormone levels can cause a person to become overweight, lose muscle mass and skin elasticity, and become easily fatigued. Natural hormones are available for both men and women.- Find a Practitioner Nutrition In natural medicine, the study of nutrition focuses on the effect of diet upon the patient's health. A bad diet can increase the risk of serious health problems while modifications in diet can ease the symptoms or even cure a serious disease.- Find a Practitioner Osteopathy A system of treatment based on the theory that diseases are primarily due to deranged mechanism of the bones, nerves, blood vessels, and related tissues, and can be remedied by manipulations of these parts. Osteopathic Doctors apply gentle manipulation to restore normal body structure and motion, thereby enhancing all circulatory systems and facilitating the body's healing process. Osteopathy is beneficial for pain management and speeding up the recovery time of surgeries and other medical problems.- Find a Practitioner Past Life Regression Operates on the assumption that many physical, mental, and emotional problems are extensions of unresolved problems from the past - whether from childhood traumas or from experiences in previous lifetimes.

No physical contact is required because the practitioner works solely on the client's energy body, not the physical body. The practitioner first cleanses and opens up congested areas using specific sweeping hand motions, then replenishes the energy deficient areas with fresh energy. Colored “pranas” or energy forces are also used to accelerate the healing process.- Find a Practitioner PSYCH-K PSYCH-K provides a user-friendly way to rewrite the "software" of your mind by changing beliefs that sabotage you into beliefs that support you...quickly and easily. PSYCH-K helps you communicate directly with both the conscious and the subconscious minds. Most beliefs change in a matter of minutes through the process of balancing the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
Changing subconscious beliefs that may be sabotaging well-intentioned actions is similar to reprogramming a personal computer. Using PSYCH-K techniques, a kind of "mental keyboard" to your own brain, you can increase "cross talk" between the two brain hemispheres, thereby achieving a more "whole-brained" state, which is ideal for changing subconscious beliefs. In addition, when right and left hemispheres of the brain are in simultaneous communication, the qualities and characteristics of both hemispheres are available to maximize your full response potential to life's challenges.
PSYCH-K is a unique way to identify and change subconscious beliefs that perpetuate old habits and behaviors that you would like to change. It is a simple, yet effective, process that helps you communicate with your subconscious mind so you can change beliefs that sabotage your self-esteem, relationships, career and even your physical health.
Your life is a reflection of your beliefs. These beliefs – usually subconscious – are the cumulative effect of life-long "programming." As a result of past negative programming, we sometimes think and behave in self-defeating ways. When you rewrite the "software" of your mind, you change the "printout" of your life.
PSYCH-K therapy is a unique process, with a blend of various tools for change, some contemporary and some ancient.

Raindrop Therapy combines aromatherapy, reflexology, massage and moist heat to create healing and cleansing through structural and electrical alignment to the body. The purpose of the therapy is to bring total balance, harmony, and body wellness - mental, physical, and emotional.
Raindrop Therapy uses a sequence of nine essential oils that have been clinically tested to have antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. These essential oils are dropped gently on the spine and then lightly massaged in using various techniques.
The practitioner dispenses the oils along the client's spine like little drops of rain from a height of about six inches. The oils are gently brushed up the spine and lightly massaged over the rest of the back. A hot compress is then applied, which facilitates oil absorption and muscle relaxation.
Developed by nutritionist Gary Young, Raindrop Therapy is based on the theory that many spinal misalignments are caused by pathogens that reside dormant along the backbone. This condition creates inflammation causing contortion and disfigurement along the spine. The application of highly antimicrobial essential oils reduces inflammation and kills the pathogens, thus providing symptom relief.
Raindrop Therapy is based on Lakota Native healing. Gary Young has researched aromatherapy and herbal medicine for over 20 years. He gives credit to the Native American Lakotas, the Hunza people of the Himalayan Mountains, and the people of Inner Mongolia for his inspiration.
The premise behind Raindrop Therapy is that the use of specific antimicrobial oils applied in a particular sequence with various techniques will reduce the body’s inflammations and destroy any viral presence. Although the original theory behind this is to heal problems of the spine, modifications can be incorporated into the therapy to treat other conditions. - Find a Practitioner Rapid Eye Technology RET is a natural, safe way to release stress and trauma.

This form of healing is here on the planet for the very first time. At our core is a design of perfection. Reconnective Healing reactivates that design, allowing the frequencies from within us to flow out and reconnect us with nature and the universe.

The reality of its existence has demonstrated itself clearly in practice as well as in science laboratories.- Find a Practitioner Reflexology Massaging or applying gentle pressure to specific points on the hands and feet.

The sclera holds a unique key to understanding health from both a biochemical and a bio-energetic perspective. The eyes are windows to the soul.
Sclerology can identify a person's predisposition to disease, the hidden cause of symptoms and potential health challenges in the future. It can also reveal areas of stress, trauma and congestion within the body, signs of cardiovascular, liver and other organ disorders, digestive weaknesses, immune system conditions and more.
A Sclerologist observes the red lines, various colors and gels seen in the eye and then compiles this information to make recommendations that will build health.
Sclerology provides an early warning - an earlier warning than any other eye-sciences, thus allowing a person the time to effect nutritional correction before a condition becomes chronic. Signs can show up in the sclera long before they are felt as symptoms. This is a great advantage in terms of treatment, prevention, and especially health promotion.”
Sclerology is an excellent way to confirm that a natural therapy is working. The lines in the sclera change as health conditions change, therefore the sclera's information can show changes as the body heals.
Sclerology is non-invasive and it’s a cost-effective way to assess the body. Children as well as adults benefit from this therapy.- Find a Practitioner Shamanic Healing An ancient practice for accessing spiritual realms for guidance and healing.

It can also help with treating asthma and digestive disorders.- Find a Practitioner Somatic Therapy Somatic, derived from the Greek word soma, has been defined as “the body experienced from within”. In Somatic Therapy, the focus is on the whole person: body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Somatic Therapy is a holistic experience that combines the mental, spiritual, and physical aspects of our being. Somatic Therapy helps us to become aware of our bodies and the sensations we experience through them. When we take the time to focus, we can become aware of those places where we are tight, sore or uncomfortable, such as the stomach, shoulders, neck, back or head. Some people may not even be aware that they have areas of discomfort until they focus and become aware of their bodies.
Those areas where we are tight are areas where we are in some way holding on to something. When we bottle up worries and stress deep inside of us, they can become physical manifestations of the body. Muscle aches and pains are often the result of repressed concerns and stresses.
Whenever we have had some painful or traumatic experience, we carry not only the memory and feelings connected with that experience, but we "remember" it physically as well, as a kind of bodily memory of that event. This bodily memory is then expressed through a tightness of muscle or tissue or a loss of freely flowing energy in an area of our body that is in someway connected with that event for us.
Through Somatic Therapy, as a person becomes more aware of their body, these sensations become the cues that "something" is being uncovered. Getting in touch with whatever sensations we are now aware of in the moment can help us release and heal. Otherwise we may just repeat the same old patterns without resolving anything.
Somatic Therapy works by providing us with the ability to focus and get in touch with our feelings, rather than remaining lost in a multitude of thoughts and worries. Mindfulness allows your inner wisdom to create change through awareness rather than effort.
Somatic Therapy is a tool we can use in our lifelong journey of growth and healing. As we become more aware, we can then actively work on healing ourselves.- Find a Practitioner Sound Therapy Certain frequencies help balance the mind, so that the mind-body rhythms can be in harmony, thereby helping the body to heal itself.

It is a non-surgical, traction based therapy for the relief of back and leg pain or neck and arm pain and works by slowly and gently stretching the spine, taking pressure off compressed discs and vertebrae.
Spinal Decompression uses state of the art technology to apply a distraction force to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica. As the Spinal Decompression table pulls on your spine, it gently separates the vertebrae from each other, creating a vacuum inside the discs that we are targeting.
This vacuum begins to suck the bulges or herniations back into the inside of the disc, and off of your nerve root. It happens only microscopically each time, but cumulatively the results are quite dramatic. Also, this pumping action pumps nutrient-rich fluids from the outside of the discs to the inside, which then enable the torn and degenerated disc fibers to begin to heal themselves naturally.
Anyone who has back pain or neck pain caused in whole or in part by a damaged disc may be helped by Spinal Decompression therapy. These conditions include herniated, protruding or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, sciatica or radiculopathy (pinched nerves).
Spinal Decompression not only significantly reduces back pain, but also enables most patients to return to more active lifestyles. Clinical studies have revealed an amazing success rate in treating lumbar disc related problems with Spinal Decompression. Spinal Decompression utilizes the latest cutting-edge technology to improve quality of life.- Find a Practitioner Spiritual Counseling Recognizes universal laws and the Divine that created us and lives within us.
