Treatment Philosophy

Our clinical approach to testing and treatment is:

  • Individualized to the patient.
  • Focused on early recognition of functional changes.
  • Aimed to prevent and ameliorate chronic disease by strengthening and tonifying the body’s organs and systems.
  • Designed to integrate the best of Western, biomedical, environmental, and psychosocial sciences, as well as energetic and Ayurvedic medicine.

Treatment Approach

Our treatment approach focuses on five major areas that are often at the root of most diseases and discomfort.

  • Tongue and pulse diagnosis: The ancient systems of Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine both use non-invasive techniques for diagnosis, which includes the examination of the tongue and pulse. In addition, we employ traditional Western diagnostic standards of care, making for a more comprehensive/integrated approach as our system of diagnosis and treatment.
  • Hormone balancing: Effective use of natural modalities to adjust imbalances in the body’s endocrine system can completely resolve debilitating symptoms of PMS, infertility, menopause, menstrual irregularities, diabetes, hypoglycemia, thyroid disorders, and so on.
  • Allergy testing and elimination: Identification & elimination of inhalant, chemical, and food allergies—often a cause of many chronic diseases.
  • Restoring optimal digestive function: Both ancient wisdom and current research have shown that poor digestive health is linked to most diseases. Identifying, repairing, and preventing further organ damage helps restore optimal function.
  • Detoxification: Usually the critical component to any health recovery process, both intracellular and extracellular detoxification are important. Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese, Homeopathic, nutritional and physical medicine methods are used for effective detoxification.
  • Pain management: Muscle, joint, and organ pain is effectively managed with non-manipulative, gentle hands-on therapies using Reikki, Energetics, herbs, and medications.
  • Chakra Balancing through vibrational sound therapy

Please note that insurance companies do not reimburse for some laboratory tests, education, or body work. It will be your responsibility to communicate with your insurance company.

Treatment Modalities

There are many ways to heal and many available treatment approaches. We believe in the body’s power to heal itself and consider ourselves your coaches. We will offer you the medical model that you are most comfortable with; the brain is very powerful and you will not heal if you do not believe you will heal.

  • Western Medicine: The Western pharmaceutical range is vast and powerful. Taken long term, however, most Western medicine will create liver and kidney toxicity, mask the underlying root of a problem, and cause your body to become dependant. Some diseases are well modulated through the use of Western medications and we offer these as needed with individualized treatment plans, which include other complementary treatment modalities designed to offset the possible side effects caused by medication.
  • Botanical medicine: Whole herbs, formulas, tinctures and teas specially formulated to the needs of each patient. Organic high-potency whole herbs are generally used to gain maximum benefits from the energetics of the whole plant along with its active constituents.
  • Therapeutic nutrition and cuisine adjustment: Using the principles of Ayurvedic medicine (a 5000-year-old system of holistic healing from ancient India that recognizes that each person has a unique constitution), cuisine adjustment, and herbal supplementation can correct factors leading to chronic imbalances. Constitutional Ayurvedic assessment is done via questionnaires and interviews. Nutrient therapy via therapeutic doses of supplements further adjusts deficiencies found through nutritional assessments and laboratory tests.
  • Physical medicine: Therapeutic massage and yoga therapies that give pain relief, release muscle spasms, readjust neuromuscular function, and stimulate the immune system.
  • Diet and lifestyle counseling: Designed with the patient’s needs, preferences, and unique constitution in mind. Fern Life Center has a number of classes on cooking, yoga, breathing (pranayama), meditation, and sound. In addition, we offer workshops to deepen the education and integrate it into your life.
  • Mental health counseling, stress management & biofeedback. Office counseling and easy ways for clients to manage their own healing process in the comfort of their own home. Hypertension, anxiety, pain, migraines, fatigue, and so on are just a few of the conditions amenable to biofeedback and meditation.
