Botanical Medicine/Phytotherapies
Herbal medicine was and is the basis for all modern pharmaceutical distillates today. Herbal medicine has been successfully used for over 5000 years clinically to address a variety of diseases and conditions. Utilized safely and effectively, trained professionals can use herbal medicines to improve overall health, skillfully address specific issues, and in collaboration with primary care providers, replace otherwise harmful medications. When employed by a trained clinician, herbal medicines can be safely integrated into drug protocols and treatment plans for all physiological systems. Our phytotherapists are trained in western pathophysiology and health sciences, as well as the naturopathic, Chinese, Ayurvedic, North American, Vitalist, and European models for herbal medicine. Our herbalists are licensed and/or board certified.
Nutritional Counseling
Nutrition is the first line of defense against disease. We are indeed what we eat, but what we eat is not as simple as what we want. Nutritional counseling provides a balanced, holistic approach to identifying individual needs, lifestyle and seasonal changes, proper use of supplements, etc. Holistic nutritional counseling also clarifies issues surrounding often dangerous or unresearched health fads, like veganism or extreme fasting, and can assist with the difficult issues of eating disorders and the all too common dietary neurosis. It is our opinion that this is crucial for incoming students.
Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy stimulates the bodies own physiological healing mechanisms without intervening directly in the process. Homeopathy is safe, side-effect free, and effective especially when combined with other modalities.
Massage

tension and structural manipulation can drastically affect the health
of organ systems, improve lymph drainage, decrease stress levels, and
has been known to aid with depression. Our therapists offer Swedish, integrative/deep
tissue, & meditative massage.
Rolfing
Rolf Structural Integration is a profound method of musculoskeletal manipulation
that offers sustainable changes to structural issues caused by postural
imbalances.
