Traditional naturopathy is a drugless, non-medical philosophy of health promotion that stimulates the body to heal itself through noninvasive therapies and health education. The consultation includes a health intake/assessment, a session of blended, alternative hands-on therapies, and health information.

A consultation lasts for 60-75 minutes and is individualized. It begins with an initial intake interview, where the reason for seeking healing is explored.  Relevant information is obtained on medical history, current medication, treatments by other health care professionals, stress(es) being experienced and any self-healing or self-care methods currently practiced.

The client is then made comfortable by lying on a padded table (children may assume other positions of comfort).  The client’s energy field, chakras and craniosacral system are then assessed, in an empathic state, using light touch and higher sense perception to look for blocks, disturbances, restrictions and areas of imbalance.

The client may experience subtle sensations or change on any physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual level, either immediately or possibly hours or even days later.  These sensations can include heat, cold, movement, vibrations, release of tension, visual images, release of emotion, recovered memories, self-awareness or a connection to a higher power.  Infants and children may cry because they are experiencing changes in their body, which they cannot express in words, or they may be releasing emotion.

While client input and questions are encouraged, the client may also choose to lie quietly or even fall asleep.  The energy field, chakras, and craniosacral system are re-evaluated at the end of the session to appraise the effect of the session.  After the session, the client is encouraged to relax and reorient in a sitting position while Heidi shares information received and makes suggestions for self-healing or self-care practices that the client can use to continue the integration and movement toward essential wholeness.  These therapies have a cumulative effect, so regular appointments can be helpful, especially with chronic conditions.

In her healing sessions, Heidi primarily uses CranioSacral therapy blended with Reiki and energy healing.  Heidi can also use acupressure, foot reflexology, trigger point therapy, shamanic journeying and channeling, depending upon the needs and desires of the client.  Click on the individual tabs at the top of this page for more information.
