You are a cosmic combination of the forces of nature
At its core Vitalism is the belief that the human body has an innate intelligence that governs all areas of health. Within every living being there lies a vital force or life energy that possesses this innate intelligence. The same forces that govern nature are present in all tissues of the body, the psyche, the spiritual heart, and the soul. This guiding principle has pervaded healing traditions around the world for thousands of years. It’s by no means new knowledge but in many ways we have lost this understanding.
Healing is achieved not through suppression of this vital intelligence but through supporting the healing and restorative powers of the human body. As a herbalist and nutritionist trained in the Vitalist tradition I employ clinical strategies that support the vital force. I utilize herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle practices to promote healing in the body, mind, and spirit. Above all else I believe in empowering people with the tools needed to heal themselves. I’ll end with this quote by the father of medicine himself Hippocrates,
“The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.”
You are your own healer.
This is the philosophy I employ in my practice.
I am merely there to help you find the healer within.
