HERBAL MEDICINE: This oldest form of medicine uses natural plants in a wide variety of forms for their therapeutic value. Herbs produce and contain various chemi- cal substances that act upon the body to strengthen its natural functions without the negative side effects of synthetic drugs. They may be taken internally or applied externally via teas, tinctures, extracts, oils, ointments, compresses and poultices.


HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK: A self-ex- ploration technique that combines breath- ing, evocative music and a specific form of bodywork to integrate one’s physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions. At workshops run by facilitators, participants try to access the four “levels” of experience that are available during breathing: sensory, biographical, perinatal and transpersonal. By accessing buried memories, individuals can relive their birth experience or traumatic life events, free up ‘stuck’ emotional viewpoints or experience a mystical state of awareness, such as connecting with the Universe.


HOMEOPATHY: A therapy that uses small doses of specially prepared plants and minerals to stimulate the body’s defense mechanisms and healing processes in order to cure illness. Homeopathy, taken from the Greek words homeos, meaning “similar,” and pathos, meaning “suffering,” employs the concept that “like cures like.” A remedy is individually chosen for a person based on its capacity to cause, if given in an over- dose, physical and psychological symptoms similar to those the patient is experiencing.


HYDROTHERAPY: The use of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full-body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used at home as part of a self-care program.


HYPNOTHERAPY: A range of hypnosis techniques that allow practitioners to bypass the conscious mind and access the subcon- scious. The altered state that occurs under hypnosis has been compared to a state of deep meditation or transcendence, in which the innate recuperative abilities of the psyche are allowed to flow more freely. The subject can achieve greater clarity regarding his or her own wants and needs, explore other events or periods of life that require resolution, or generally develop a more positive attitude. Often used to help people lose weight or stop smoking, it is also used in the treatment of phobias, stress and as an adjunct to the treatment of illnesses.

The energy in our environments affects us, if we are aware of it or not. EMF frequencies from cell towers and radio towers create stress in our homes and in our bodies. Geo stress lines in the earth dis- rupt our immune system and interfere with sleep. Using the ancient technique of dowsing, I have learned how to detect disruptive or harmful ener- gies and cure them, and create a home filled with light and good vibes. Dowsing appointments can be done in person or by distant.
