Manual Osteopathic Therapy uses hands-on skills for investigation and treatment of body dysfunctions. The whole body is examined and mechanical disruptions are treated as found throughout the body. Using an example of right shoulder pain – expect the Manual Osteopathic Therapist to examine the joint and soft tissue around the shoulder and also:
Assess the pelvis, because if imbalanced will drop your shoulder and create a strain;
Check the spinal column, because inflamed nerves can send pain to the shoulder;
Palpate the liver and gall bladder, because dysfunction in those organs radiate pain to the right shoulder;
Assess the fluid dynamics in and out of the shoulder, because congestion is linked with pain.

Imbalances found are gently treated with techniques that engage the dysfunctional tissue until function is normalized. Joints are mobilized by muscle-resisted techniques, soft-tissue is restored to healthier states. Fluids are released from congested areas and gently flushed in the direction of drainage. Changes are often felt immediately or shortly after the treatment.

The philosophy of holistic nutrition is that one's health is an expression of the complex interplay between the physical and chemical, mental and emotional, as well as spiritual and environmental aspects of one's life and being. This connection is not new, but rather an age old wisdom stemming from Ayurvedic tradition over 5,000 years ago.
Holistic Nutrition is a natural approach to health that uses evidence-based techniques for diet, lifestyle and detoxification. Instead of focusing on just one aspect of the person, or taking a one size fits all methodology, a holistic approach evaluates the complete health history, emotional state, lifestyle habits and current diet habits of an individual to determine the root cause of his or her health issues. We look beyond the singular aspect of food to achieve balance of the physical, mental, and spiritual bodies, for it is then that true health can be experienced.

Ayurveda is a living science; one that has transformed and moved throughout the centuries to match the needs of the individual it serves. Yet it’s tenets remain the same: the foods we eat become the very foundation of our bodies, seeds of our thoughts, and essence of our consciousness. Everything that we consume contains an energetic effect, and through food, we change the entire fabric of our being.
