Iridologyis both an art and a science that dates back further than Western Medicine into the times of Ancient Egypt. By studying the fibers, patterns and colors of your iris and other parts of the eye, an overall picture of the health of your body‘s tissues and organs can be made. Inflammation, toxins, injuries, circulation, degrees of healing, the under or over functioning of organs and so much more can be seen by the trained Iridologist.
Aromatherapyis the controlled use of essential oils to promote the health and vitality of the body, mind and spirit by inhalation, baths, compresses, topical application and full-body massage.

Homeopathyis actually the 2nd most widely used medicine of the world. It consists of minute doses of substances given to symptomatic people, which stimulates a healing reaction within the body‘s tissues and organs to bring about a curative effect. Therefore, homeopathy is not a permanent supplement but a temporary facilitating substance to remind the body of balance.
Mind, Body, Spirittakes into consideration the interrelatedness of your mind to your body and to your soul. A recognized field of medicine, called Psychoneuroimmunology, is “a discipline that studies the relationships between psychologic states and the immune response.” (Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, 8th edition. © 2009, Elsevier) Your energetic, or subconscious, patterns greatly affect your physical outcome. By taking into consideration mantras and daily affirmations to bring balance to possible energetic weaknesses, you are able to affect the subtle bodies of your entire being, which act as a catalyst to “allow” change. Without this recognition of the interrelatedness of our thoughts to our body, healing proves quite difficult.

Holistic Nutritionis the basis for all health and disease. Eat optimally – feel optimal. Holistic Nutrition considers how foods affect the whole body system. Optimal health comes from a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods that are closest to nature. Ask not “what should I eat” but “how do I want to feel”. Want to feel “indulgent” – go for the cookie. Want to feel “light and energetic” – have the green smoothie. It‘s all about balance and moderation.
Supplementationis occasionally suggested, especially during the beginning for therapeutic benefit. Stephanie may recommend a three month regimen followed by a break of one month (or more) to give the body a break and see if you no longer need the extra supplementation. Eventually, all the nutrients you need will be received in food and herbal teas and only occasionally in tinctures, extracts, and supplements. Be sure to notify your primary care provider of all vitamins, minerals, and supplements you take as it is intended to be ‘complimentary care‘.
Interpersonal Counselingmay occur during the initial consultation. Relationships are a HUGE part of your emotional health. Whether the relationship is with your neighbor, coworker, lover, family, or even a stranger; success in relationships contributes or hinders your balance; therefore, your wellness. Using resources such as Blissful Communication; Non-Violent Communication; Love and Logic; and tools from Sacred Commerce, together, you and Stephanie will arrive at optimal methods of communication; healthy detachment; and peaceful, conscious related-ness.
