mind-body-heart medicine
Tending to the heart as a tool to connect and regulate the mind and body is essential and often not fully appreciated in the world of traditional medicine. This connection to our heart’s wisdom fosters our trust in our deeper truths. It supports our knowing that a softening into the heart can offer freedom and spaciousness so we can heal or grow. It can be our most powerful inner guidepost and compass.
The following is a list of some of the more specific approaches I may use to support you on your journey.
Create space to appreciate how the influence of physical or emotional trauma has the power to impact all systems.
Determine if a particular neurotransmitter pathway is being interrupted or influenced.
Investigate the possibility of hormonal disruption.
Optimize nutritional elements.
Utilize breathing practices.
Assessment and guidance of where food can be used as medicine.
Support gut health as we appreciate the deep connection between the gut and the brain.
Reduce systemic inflammation.
Utilize lab testing where necessary but also teach how to read the body for signs of insufficient nutrient levels.
Assess and treat potential post-traumatic brain trauma.
Support the adrenal and immune systems.
Assess genetic and epigenetic influences.
Assess environmental influences and the use of detoxification.
Attend to behavioral or emotional patterns and beliefs.
Observing for places where lifestyle support may be impactful.
I have been trained in de-prescribing and when timing is appropriate can support removal of psychoactive drugs if we determine this to be a safe and appropriate course of action.
