Our Approach to Healing
Root-cause healing that honors your body,
your season, and your story.
Whether you’re navigating mystery symptoms, recovering from burnout, or simply looking to stay well for the long haul, our work begins by listening to your whole body. We don’t chase surface fixes or try to override your symptoms — we see them as signals pointing toward deeper imbalances.
Root-cause healing means looking at the full picture: your nervous system, drainage pathways, toxic and pathogen load, your hormones, your nutrient reserves, cellular health, predispositions, lifestyle and habits, and personal history — including the beliefs, patterns, and emotions woven through it all. It’s about rebuilding trust with your body, supporting it as a whole, and helping you find what actually works for you — not just what works on paper.
That might look like working through fatigue, gut challenges, nervous system dysregulation, hormonal shifts, preconception planning, or the emotional integration that comes after a long season of illness. We use functional labs, targeted supplements, and strategic lifestyle shifts — but we always start with you, not a protocol.
This isn’t about managing dysfunction. It’s about helping your body function as it was designed to—clearly, calmly, and with resilience during life’s many seasons.
What Makes Our Work Unique
Functional + Emotional Healing
We don’t just interpret labs — we connect them to your lived experience. From root causes to soul-level healing, we support the many layers of your wellness journey. We believe healing isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, spiritual, and for many, divinely guided. Functional lab analysis helps us uncover hidden imbalances — and connect the science to your real-life symptoms.
Personalized, Not Protocol-Driven
Your plan is built around your unique health history, lab results, lifestyle, and goals. No one-size-fits all protocols. Just care that is tailored for you.
Trauma-Aware, Compassionate Care
Healing is deeply personal — and often shaped by past experiences with the medical system. We understand that being dismissed, rushed, or unseen can leave lasting impact. That’s why we approach care with deep presence, nervous system awareness, and respect for your pace. This isn’t a clinic. It’s a space where your story matters and your full self is always welcome.
Lived Experience, Not Just Credentials
This work is personal to us. We’ve lived through chronic illness, dismissal, and the long road back to wholeness. Our approach is shaped not just by education and training — but by the depth of our own healing journeys. We’ve built the care we once needed.
Positive Psychology + Coaching Approach
We don’t just hand you protocols — we walk with you through the emotional and behavioral shifts that make change sustainable. Our background in positive psychology and functional medicine coaching helps clients move from survival to self-trust. We help you build foundational habits that gently rewire your body for safety, vitality, and long-term wellness.
Where Ancient Healing Meets Modern Science
Our approach draws from multiple healing traditions — including functional medicine, herbalism, Ayurveda, naturopathy, nutritional science, mind-body work, bioresonance, and more. We also explore how your environment — from toxins to mold to lifestyle factors — may be silently shaping your health. This layered, multidimensional perspective helps us see your health more fully — and support it more holistically.
Our Process
Helping your body do what it was designed to do: heal
We start by getting to know you — not just your symptoms, but how you think, feel, and live inside your body. Through a deep intake, we explore your story, beliefs, stressors, lifestyle, and emotional patterns to understand how your system got here and what it's asking for now. This is where we begin to build safety, clarity, and trust.
Ground & Gather
Using functional labs and intuitive insight, we identify what’s contributing to your symptoms — from gut imbalances and hormonal shifts to drainage blocks, cellular stress, toxic load, or unresolved emotional layers. This step is about revealing the “why behind the what.”
Investigate & Illuminate
We co-create a personalized plan that meets you exactly where you are — while still helping you move you forward. This may include drainage support, targeted supplements, nourishment strategies, nervous system tools, or daily rhythm shifts — all aligned with your budget, preferences, capacity, and current season of life.
Personalize & Pace
As your body heals and your story unfolds, we adapt. Whether you’re moving through grief, identity shifts, or deep renewal, we support the emotional and spiritual growth that often parallels physical healing. The goal isn’t just symptom relief — it’s sustainable wellness rooted in self-trust.
Integrate & Evolve

We Work Best With Clients Who…
✔ Want to understand the why behind their symptoms
✔ Are ready for gentle, sustainable shifts — not quick fixes
✔ Are invested in feeling their best, aging well, and preventing future imbalances — not just managing symptoms
✔ Crave clear guidance, simplified learning, and healing routines that actually fit into real life

We May Not Be a Fit If…
✘ You’re looking for a quick fix or a supplement-only solution
✘ You prefer a conventional medical model and aren’t open to root-cause exploration
✘ You’re not interested in long-term wellness or prevention — just short-term symptom relief
✘ You feel overwhelmed by structure or don’t want support turning insight into action
✘ You’re not interested in exploring the emotional or spiritual layers of healing
✘ You’re only seeking a diagnosis or medical treatment — we don’t practice medicine
✘ You feel overly identified with your diagnosis and aren’t open to exploring who you are beyond the label
✘ You’re uncomfortable with conversations that integrate both science and faith
What We Might Work On Together
Healing is never one-size-fits-all — and that’s the point. Your care plan is built around your story, your season, and your body’s unique needs. Depending on your goals, we might explore:
Building supportive habits around rest, nourishment, movement, and mindset
Interpreting your labs through a functional lens and making sense of your next steps
Supporting detox pathways, gut repair, and nervous system regulation
Reducing toxic burden from mold, heavy metals, or environmental stressors
Exploring herbal parasite cleansing and drainage work (when appropriate)
Clarifying supplementation so it’s strategic — not overwhelming
Strengthening emotional resilience and rewiring beliefs and patterns from the inside out
Reclaiming your identity beyond illness — rewriting your internal narrative with intention, clarity, and self-compassion
No matter where we begin, we walk with you — gently and strategically — toward greater clarity, vitality, and self-trust.
Healing is Personal to Us
We founded Healing Masters after walking our own long and complex healing journeys. We’ve been the ones told everything looked “normal” — while we knew deep down something wasn’t right. We’ve felt the confusion, the discouragement, and the quiet inner knowing that more was possible.
And we’ve also experienced the transformation that happens when health is approached with heart, science, and intention.
That’s what we offer here.
And we’d be honored to walk beside you.
— Sarah & Nic Southerton
