All initial sessions require intake and screening, with opportunity for questions and answers. The intention is to spend about 15 minutes discussing current and past conditions and goals. The balance of time is for the hands on portion of the session. A few minutes will be left at the end of the session for integration, sharing, and rebooking if desired, and payment if not received at the beginning of the session.
Very detailed assessments will be made using Iridology, Sclerology, energy patterns in the body and energy field, dietary, exercise, and lifestyle logs, along with current and past health issues. These will be aligned with the client's wellness goals in order to develop a plan to move towards client's desired wellness. Most clients will need to be willing to build and cleanse the body by eating a whole organic food diet, along with exercise. Herbal remedies, Homeopathic remedies, Color Therapy, and Bodywork and other therapies will also be suggested with appropriate referrals to other Professionals, as well..
*Iridology -patterns in the colored part of the eye reflecting genetic imprints and inherited strengths and weaknesses
*Sclerology- patterns in the white part of the eye which indicate current health of the individual
In this modality very specific pressure is placed on the organs of the abdominal, thoracic, pelvic cavity, or cranial vault. The area focused on is determined by the area of greatest restriction determined by non invasive precise manual (hands on) assessments.
Restrictions occur when the connective tissue around organs get adhered, typically after the body experiences inflammation, or trauma. These restrictions often show up as pain in the skeleton and or muscles. Range of motion of affected area typically is affected, and can be palpated by a trained and seasoned therapist.
Often restricted movement and pain felt in the muscles and skeleton, is coming from restriction of the connective tissue around and between organs. The body can often resolve or greatly lessen these problems immediately or within 3 weeks of treatment with the practice of Visceral Manipulation. The client may need a series of sessions to achieve the desired results. This is simply an astonishing modality.

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing head, TMJ, neck, back or pain in other areas of the body. It is know for relieving mental stress & depression. It is often helpful with learning disabilities. It can increase, range-of-motion, and can help assist with expansion and ease of being.
CranioSacral Therapy does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull, by freeing restrictions/scarring in the fascia. The practitioner works with the fascia, aCancel connective soft tissue, which wraps around everything throughout the body, connecting it like a 3-d web.
Developed by osteopathic physicians William Sutherland, furthered by Dr. John Upledger, this therapy provides a deeply soothing and relaxing healing experience. Some have it for the delicious deeply restorative, experience it typically is, some have it to help them feel better, many times much better and in a lasting way.
Typically 3-5 sessions are suggested, to see if this modality will help, then depending on the situation, a treatment plan is formed for continued treatment or referral to another modality or potential release of client.

SER Somato Emotional Release (emotions released from the tissues) is an advanced CST technique. It is one which acknowledges and supports the body mind and spirit to release emotional charges that are being held in the tissues. This process can be a silent process or one of open ended dialogue. A deeper sense of peace is typically available after a client lets go, allowing freedom where tensional patterns existed before, opening all kinds of new possibilities.

These Modalities are great for Trauma survivors who have chronic pain. Trauma can be from accidents, events like falls, car wrecks, hits, jarring or violent attacks. It can be caused by high fevers and chronic inflammation or exposure to toxins. Pain may show up within months of the event, more often, many, many years later. These Modalities are deeply relaxing to the entire nervous system, and has helped people regain loss of movement, even from paralyzation, and pain, with often quite startling results. Amazing work! Sometimes a number of sessions are needed to work through the scar tissue and adhesions, sometimes it is faster.

Polarity therapy is a type of bodywork which is focused on the energy fields of the body, rather than the focusing on physical body itself. Specific areas are negative, positive or neutral. The practitioner places hands on oppositely charged areas of a client to enhance current flow, like a battery recharging. Relief is typically felt in the physical body as well as energetically.
This type of body work is also called energy work, because the practitioner intentions and places hands on or near the body, to balance the energy fields of the body. During a polarity therapy session, the therapist and client usually work together in a very calm, relaxed environment.
A deep way to invest a half an hour to 1 hour.
Typically preformed with client dressed.
Can be done in 30 min sessions.

Reiki is a Japanese word and is an ancient form of delightful and deep Spiritual healing work. This work can also bring up areas that need to be focused on and shifted, which is not always pleasant to work through, but always rewarding when cleared, bringing more richness to life each day following the clearing. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, the Universe through Dr. D., works directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between the practitioner and the client. It can be sent through time and space.
Benefits of Reiki can range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain, and opening to joy, expansion, and latent gifts. Many clients have commented on the deep nurturing and extraordinary experience of receiving Reiki. This modality is typically preformed with a client who is dressed.
Dr. D. Teaches all levels of Reiki, by request and has been doing this for 20 plus years.
