In our lives we are exposed to toxins in our food, our water, and in our air. We are also exposed to toxic emotions such as stress and trauma. This exposure can take a tremendous toll on our mind, body and spirit. Eventually this overload can result in symptoms and may lead to disease. Conventional medicine generally treats symptoms, whereas a holistic approach looks at the cause of the problem and treats it at its core. This approach uses the mind/body connection to inspire our natural ability to heal.

Here are some of the programs we have worked diligently to create. Our mission supports us in finding the right avenue to support you.
The Total Health Program
is a comprehensive system that combines multiple key holistic health approaches and services to return you to health or raise the level of your health and fitness for life. Our program starts with an in depth evaluation from one of our practitioners on our Nutritional Team. This is usually an hour consultation where we evaluate your specific needs, goals, and priorities. With this information we can formulate the best program uniquely created to help you achieve your total health goals. Your ultimate goal to better health & improved quality of life starts with your inner desire and motivation. This form of natural care reduces stress and the occurrences of illness for the individual.
One-on-One Nutritional Counseling
An appointment with one of our certified Nutritional Counselors is the first step to starting a new and healthy lifestyle. We listen to you and help you create the changes that matter the most to achieving your life health goals. With an in-depth examination with a Counselor, we can address your priority issues such as weight loss, weight gain, acute health issues, as well as chronic issues. During the course of your changes we offer health food store tours, healthy food samples, books and related materials to assist you to rapidly make progress in your program and teach you how to take care of yourself holistically. Our Counselors have widely varied educational backgrounds that optimize the variety of options and methodology you can choose to regain or raise your personal health. This compilation of practitioners cannot be found anywhere else in the New England area.
Preventative Health Program
”An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is simplistic wisdom. This program was created to show the changes that your body can make within a short amount of time. In just four weeks you can feel healthier and stronger by completing the following: A half an hour personal Nutritional Counseling session, eight classes of any type throughout the month, one-30 minute Massage or Reiki session, and one Chiropractic adjustment. Core body strengthening and breathing is the key. Five simple questions are answered before you begin your classes. At the end of four weeks, answer the five questions again and look at the improvement in your health and appearance. Now imagine how you would look and feel after four months of this program!
Two-Week Detox Program
To begin a new healthy lifestyle or just feel better, the old accumulated chemicals, poisons, and harmful additives that you have built up in your system over the years needs to be removed. Toxins could be the greatest factor holding your ideal life back! In two meetings, you get a shorter, livable, and effective detoxification program that rids the body of harmful substances which can impair metabolic function. It works with your body to get the best results. No long-term commitments or disruption to your normal schedule. The products are neatly packaged. This takes the guess work out of your program. A grocery list is provided to assist you in making the best possible choices to maximize the total effectiveness of the program. And best of all you have support just a phone call away to answer your questions and keep you motivated!
Six-Week Transition Program
A six- week weight loss/management program. Meetings are once a week to answer your questions and keep you on a weight loss program that has it all. It also gives the support to keep you going in the right weight loss direction. Instruction, guidance, supplements, food options and inspiration to help you get to be the person you deserve and want to be. If you have failed on a diet program before because of lack of motivation, help, or direction, this program is for you!
Tissue/Hair Mineral Analysis
The nutritional needs of the body are explored with cutting-edge technology and state of the art testing for tissue mineral analysis. This process includes:
- Development of a precise nutritional therapeutic approach based on the recognition of 8 individual biochemical types using elemental analysis of hair.
- Recognition of Sympathetic and Parasympathetic response to metabolic dysfunctions.
- Establishment of the link between the nutritional, neurological, and endocrine systems, as determined by hair mineral patterns.
- Identification of endocrine interrelationships and their impact upon biochemical and nutritional status: recognition of specific nutritional influences upon the biochemical and endocrine systems.
- Categorization of individual nutrients according to their sympathetic or parasympathetic effects.
- Recognition of the vitamin/mineral, mineral/mineral and vitamin/vitamin interrelationships within the nutritional recommendations.
- Development of metabolic supplements synergistically formulated for specific metabolic types.
The DNA SNP
The technology that was only dreamed about just a few short years ago! The Gene SNP DNA screening analysis makes it possible to identify variations in your genes related to five of the most important health areas: Heart Health, Bone Health, Insulin Sensitivity, Antioxidation, and Detoxification. Once you know which gene variations you have, you can take the necessary steps to optimize your well-being by choosing supplementation and making healthier diet and lifestyle choices.
