Holistic Q & A from the perspective of Spirit of Nature Holistic Medicine Practice

Holistic medicine is about creating balance in your whole being. Did you know that just because you take vitamins or herbal remedies does not make it holistic? I am so glad that you do, but the term Holistic is much more than treating physical symptoms like conventional medicine. True wellness is found when your physical, emotional, and spiritual health are in harmony, because each one influences the others.
When your body is physically nourished, your emotions are cared for, and your spirit is supported, you experience a deeper sense of vitality and resilience.
Did you know that your emotional and spiritual health can actually influence your cells? Stress, joy, love, fear, all of these can create chemical and energetic shifts in the body. Science shows that the way you think, and feel can affect your immune system, your hormones, and even your cellular repair processes. This is why addressing the whole person, body, mind, and spirit, is essential for lasting wellness.
I teach you to become whole from a Holistic Perspective.
Functional labs take a different approach than conventional labs. Instead of asking, “Do you have a disease?” functional testing asks, “How well is your body actually functioning?” These tests use optimal ranges to identify subtle imbalances that may be affecting your energy, mood, digestion, hormones, or overall vitality.
Why Functional Labs are Different:
- Root-Cause Focused: functional labs help uncover the why behind your symptoms.
- Optimal Range: Functional labs look for optimal balance and early warning signs.
- Comprehensive Panels: Functional labs often include deeper markers for inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, hormones, and detox pathways that are not typically measured in standard bloodwork.
- Personalized Care: You get to take control of your health. You will be able to choose the labs you are interested in and order them from the list of functional lab companies I have access to. We use lab results as an educational tool to help you understand potential imbalances and how they may relate to your general wellness goals.
The Bottom Line
Functional Labs can be ordered without a prescription allowing you to choose the labs you want to order for yourself. Empowering yourself on your health care journey. I will educate you along the way and recommend remedies that may work for you on your holistic healing path.

Herbal Medicine is one of the oldest healing traditions in the world and is Traditional Medicine. For thousands of years, cultures across the globe have relied on plants to restore balance, promote vitality, and support the body’s natural healing process. These remedies were not “alternative” in ancient times, they were the primary medicine. This is traditional medicine.
Herbs are part of the true medicine that God has provided for us on Earth. We walk beside them every day, often without realizing the healing potential that grows all around us. Unlike synthetic, biochemical medications, our bodies are more naturally attuned to plants. Their nutrients, compounds, and energies work in harmony with the human body, supporting, nourishing, and gently guiding it back toward balance.
One of the unique powers of herbal medicine is its personalized approach. Herbs don’t just cover up symptoms; they work with your body’s needs. Some herbs act as alteratives, meaning they naturally adjust and adapt to help bring your systems back into alignment. Others strengthen, calm, or energize depending on what your body requires.
Herbal medicine is not just about the physical, it also touches the emotional and spiritual aspects of health. Each plant carries its own wisdom, offering us a deeper connection to the natural world and to the Creator’s design for healing.
Herbal Medicine is not “one herb fits all” like the approach used for Conventional Medicine or how Herbal Medicine is marketed. Much more goes into how a plant is selected for a person.

Emotional health is more than just how we “feel.” It’s the way our thoughts, feelings, and inner dialogue affect the body, mind, and spirit. When we carry negative emotions, unhealed trauma, or constant self-criticism, the body responds as if it is under threat. Essential we are living in a low vibrational state.
Living in a continual state of fight or flight raises stress hormones like cortisol. Over time, imbalanced cortisol can disrupt sleep, digestion, hormones, immune function, and even the ability of your cells to repair themselves. This is why long-term stress, and unresolved emotional pain can actually contribute to disease.
The good news is that emotional health is not fixed, it can be restored. When we practice self-compassion, process emotions, and learn healthier ways of responding to stress, the body shifts back into balance. Cortisol levels can normalize, the nervous system calms, and the cells of the body are able to heal and thrive again.
The goal of emotional health is balance, to move from survival mode into a place where your body, mind, and spirit can experience peace, resilience, and renewal.
Spiritual health may be the most important pillar of all in my opinion. When we are aligned with God, the Divine and flowing with the rhythm of life, we are open to receiving higher guidance, wisdom, and peace.
Science now recognizes that we all carry an energetic field, or aura, around us. I believe that each cell in the body is illuminated by the spirit. When our energy is flowing freely, we feel connected, grounded, and attuned to God’s love. But when there are blocks, whether through illness, trauma, or stress, our life force can become stagnant. This stagnation can cloud our clarity, making it harder to see life through healed eyes.
Spiritual health is about removing those blocks, opening ourselves from the crown, and allowing God’s wisdom to flow into every part of our being. It is remembering that we are love, and we are God’s love made manifest. When we live from this truth, fear and worry dissolve, and we are free to move with the natural flow of life.
I will teach you the tools and guide you on your Spiritual Path to Holistic Healing.
A Holistic Natural Health Assessment is the first step in true healing. It views you as a whole person, mind, body, and spirit, and helps uncover blockages carried from past experiences or trauma that may impact your well-being.
We do not treat symptoms, but the whole person through natural therapies and educational tools for full body wellness. This assessment returns to the original roots of medicine, exploring your history, lifestyle, constitution, tissue state, and emotional and spiritual health.

I educate you along your healing path and suggest protocols that may work for you. You have autonomy in your own healing journey and are able to take the educational tools to better your life.

I suggest and educate you on herbs through a personalized and holistic process. During your intake consultation, I consider both emotional and physical symptoms, to understand your unique health picture. I also consider your body constitution using the three doshas of Ayurvedic medicine, as well as your tissue states, whether your body is cold, warm, or dry, to determine the most supportive herbal remedies.
In addition, I approach herb recommendations with both sympathetic and antipathetic methods of herbal selection, choosing plants that either mirror or balance your current state. I also consider astro-herbalism and the planetary correspondences of each herb, aligning remedies with the rhythms of nature for deeper healing. This whole-body approach ensures that the herbs chosen are not just symptom-focused but truly attuned to you.
Plants are not selected based on just your symptoms like Conventional Medicine or how Herbs are marketed. Such as you have a headache, take an Aspirin. You have a cough take Marshmallow Root. Herbs are suggested and from the lens of a traditional approach.
