Functional Medicine Services

A functional medicine approach takes a deep exploratory dive into WHY you are experiencing your symptoms, and treatment begins with that understanding. This method recognizes each individual as unique, tailoring the approach to your body, your symptoms, and your specific situation. We respect the body’s innate wisdom and its ability for self-regulation and healing. The goal is to empower you to learn how to care for your body, enabling you to manage most health issues independently, while offering support for any questions or concerns you may have.

In our functional medicine consultations, treatment may include nutrition education and dietary adjustments when appropriate. This is often the first step, and significant healing can often occur in a relatively short time frame. We utilize both conventional lab testing and more integrative testing as needed. Frequently, appropriate supplementation—such as vitamins, herbs, and amino acids—may be necessary to support the body in returning to a state of healing, including aspects of energy healing where applicable.

This work utilizes the body’s wisdom to identify and release trapped emotional energies from previous experiences. The wonderful aspect of this process is that you do not need to re-live or re-feel these emotions; the body allows for their identification and release through a muscle testing process and the power of intention. 

The term 'Trapped Emotions' refers to unconscious emotional energy that stems from intense or traumatic events that have not been fully processed and released from the body or mind. When this emotional energy becomes trapped, it can potentially affect various organs or glands. Each of the seven chakras aligns with specific organs in the body, and when an emotion is trapped in an organ, it can obstruct the energy flow through the chakra system. The trapped energy associated with these emotions may lead to physical discomfort, emotional instability, and sadness. Fortunately, through energy healing methods, including muscle testing and chakra balancing—which are often explored in functional medicine consultations—these trapped emotions can be identified, processed, and released. This approach supports a healthy, balanced chakra system and is an integral part of integrative medicine.
