I believe that the body is innately able to heal itself when given the proper nutrition, and simply allowed to do so. I also believe that whole, organic food is our best medicine. If you are uncertain what you need to get on track with your health goals, let me assist you. I am a Certified Nutrition Consultant and Chef. Together we can assess where you are, and where you would like to go, and then how you might get there realistically, step by step. Successful support and healing happens over time, therefore I do not work with clients for one session and only offer package programs. I take you through a very thorough health assessment and protocol over several months in order for you to receive the full benefit of what I have to offer. Currently offered are "Getting Started" programs that are from 3-6 months, and "Maintenance" programs to keep you on track with where you want to be for life. In these programs you can receive the following: complete health history review, comprehensive metabolic testing including food allergy testing, report of findings from all testing, healthy eating guidelines and recipes/instruction, behavior modification and commitment to succeed contract, patient binder with information and assessments, diet/mood journal assessment, other in-office assessments as needed, follow up and on-line support, and supplements from the highest quality in the industry.

I am happy to work with your primary care physician, providing all session notes and nutritional advice as requested. Often our primary care physicians do not have the time to get to know us and our entire history, this can be valuable information to pass on to a caring M.D. who is open to nutritional support for their patients.

Please, phone for more information and cost for programs.

Reiki Healing
Sandy is now a Certified Reiki Master and offers Reiki healing to individuals and teaches Reiki I and II to individuals and classes upon request. Reiki is for everyone! It is gentle, non-invasive, healing and loving touch. A Reiki practitioner channels divine healing energy into whatever they touch. This ability magnifies the healing potential of food as well, and combines beautifully with being a Chef.

What is Reiki? The word itself means something akin to "Universal Vital Force". The origins of Reiki are shrouded in mystery. It was originally passed on in an oral tradition from teacher to student in ancient Tibet. Today it is still passed on in the same manner with a series of "attunements" that allow one to then channel the Reiki energy, or Universal Life Force Energy. It does not involve the individual's personal energy in any way except in that it allows one to be a better channel.

Reiki is not a religion or dogma, a massage technique, or taught or given by just anyone. Reiki is taught by certified and attuned Reiki Teachers/Masters and given by certified Reiki Practitioners.

What does Reiki do? Reiki is a healing, restorative, and loving force that is said to have an intelligence of it's own. It does different things for different people. It is gentle, non-invasive, safe and often creates a sense of peace and calm for those receiving it. It is also excellent for pain relief and stress reduction. I have found that Reiki can also be a powerful force for change and healing on many levels, not just the immediate or seen. I believe that it can also be a guide that leads one in a positive direction and puts one in harmony and in synchronicity with one's life.

Who uses Reiki? Reiki is used by Nurses, Physicians, Surgeons, Midwives, Counselors, Massage Therapists, and Healers throughout the United States. Reiki has become more and more accepted and integrated by the mainstream medical profession over the years.

I welcome you to experience the healing power of Reiki yourself today.
