The Healing Masters Approach

Embrace a health experience as unique as you are, where mind, body, and spirit are harmoniously addressed. With intelligent assessment tools and functional lab testing at our fingertips, we adopt a comprehensive viewpoint that leads to optimal health outcomes and whole-body transformations. Together, we'll chart a holistic path that awakens and nurtures your innate healing potential.

Start Here: Our Process

We tap into your healing potential.

The body is a perfectly designed miracle with an unbelievable capability to heal itself, even when it seems hopeless or confusing. Your body is made of many interconnected systems and processes, that when functioning optimally, automatically protect, repair, eliminate waste, and promote life. Anyone can ignite healing within.

We dig deeper into the causes of your symptoms.

Symptoms are the body's way of telling us that something needs attention, care, or adjustment. We don’t ignore or suppress symptoms, rather we encourage you to listen to them and understand what your body is telling you. We use lab testing and our years of experience to identify the root causes of your symptoms, then educate you on how to remove what doesn’t belong (like toxins and pathogens), replace what’s missing, and reduce the chronic stressors impacting your health. This holistic approach helps your body function more optimally and heal more efficiently, so you can become resilient and rebalanced.

Foundations of Wellness

We increase awareness and understanding of how to care for your mind, body, and environment and provide actionable strategies for nutritional, physical, and mental wellbeing. We teach you how to support the drainage pathways to eliminate waste and toxins, jumpstarting the healing process. We focus on food, water, air, sleep, rest, stress, emotions, movement, community, and toxin exposures.

Root Cause Protocols

Once your lab results are available, we educate you on what the results mean and then create tailored wellness plans that target your specific root causes and symptoms. We refresh your personalized wellness strategy and then guide you through each step with personalized protocols that include healthy lifestyle, mindset, and supplement recommendations.

Retesting & Optimizing

Each body is unique and responds differently, which is why we adjust as needed. We recommend retesting functional labs to quantify progress and identify opportunities to optimize and fine tune your healing plan. The goal is not just to heal, but to optimize your health for the rest of your life.

Our Transformative Approach to Wellness

Each person has a unique profile of genetic, environmental, biochemical, cultural, emotional, and lifestyle factors that determine how healthy they are. Unfortunately, our environments are more artificial, toxic and traumatic than ever, and our bodies are overwhelmed trying to keep up with the extraordinary amount of manmade stress. Without intentional support and wellness knowledge, it’s difficult to feel well.

The good news is, many chronic conditions and symptoms are preventable and reversible. Even the most mysterious and complicated cases have hope (Sarah is proof!). Your body is not at war with itself; there are real root causes behind your symptoms. We use several different types of functional lab testing to uncover these root causes, going much deeper than most conventional lab testing.

Wellness happens when you reduce your toxic burden, support healthy drainage pathways, spend more time in nature, connect with your body, manage inflammation, keep your immune system strong, and transform stress and trauma. Long term success in these areas relies on the establishment of intentional habits and wellness routines that are not only effective, but also social, nurturing, enjoyable, and sustainable.

We Simplify Your Unique Wellness Journey

We keep you focused on the journey with easy to implement protocols and personalized health roadmaps. Our coaches guide you through your test results, making healthy lifestyle changes, the many healing phases, and how to use and select professional quality supplements.

Together, you’ll tackle your root causes from every angle – mind, body, spirit, emotions, energy, relationships, habits, and environment. We become your partner and ally in your unique health journey. Our coaches reduce feelings of overwhelm, fear, and isolation by keeping you organized, prepared, and supported both in and out of appointments.

As health improves, the focus becomes more on how to fine tune and optimize health for longevity, performance, and beauty. We help clients at all stages of life and health, from teenagers to seniors in retirement, and everyone in between. Whether you are looking to overcome a chronic condition, or are seeking to enhance your health by incorporating more wellness practices into your life, we can help you find success faster.

We Blend Integrative Health With Positive Psychology

What makes us different is we aren’t only credentialed, we also have firsthand experience living with and recovering from chronic illness. We’re experienced practitioners, skilled coaches, and empathetic listeners.

We were educated at the Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) Institute by Dr. Stephen Cabral, a Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy. Dr. Cabral’s approach combines the best of functional medicine, naturopathy, and ancient healing knowledge of eastern medicine and philosophies to address the imbalances that modern-day life contributes. The IHP approach helps reduce, remove, and eliminate toxins from your life.

We are also experts in motivational interviewing and positive psychology skills that helps clients strategically implement lasting lifestyle and behavioral changes. We were educated in these skills at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA). FMCA is the only program designed and delivered in collaboration with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and is the gold standard in health coaching certifications.

We’re Skilled in Functional Bloodwork Analysis

We are trained to analyze blood test results from a functional, nutritional, and preventative perspective by Dr. Weatherby, a board-certified Naturopathic Physician and leading expert in Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis. We take simple blood tests and turn them into an invaluable source of actionable insight.

Unlike conventional analysis, which uses broad reference ranges to diagnose disease, FBCA looks at ranges associated with optimal health to determine disease risk and identify health problems before they manifest as full-blown disease so you can actually do something about it. “Normal” is not the same as optimal when it comes to bloodwork.

We use this powerful tool to dig deeper into your bloodwork, identify reasons behind your symptoms, proactively manage disease risks, and optimize your health. We order comprehensive bloodwork (over 90 biomarkers!) through Lab Corp to give you the full functional picture of your health using our FBCA tool. If you have bloodwork results from another provider, we can analyze and generate a report for you as an a la carte service.
