Allergy Care
We specialize in diagnosing and treating environmental and food allergies using skin testing and blood work. Our personalized immunotherapy programs allow patients to self-administer treatments at home, reducing office visits. This approach effectively addresses chronic inflammation, fatigue, and immune imbalances while improving energy levels and overall wellness.
Holistic Pain Management
Integrative pain solutions combine cold laser therapy, craniosacral techniques, and medical cannabis consultations. We use non-invasive technologies like the Alpha Stim 100 and Synaptic 3600 to reduce dependency on pharmaceuticals. This comprehensive approach targets chronic pain through neurological and physical healing mechanisms.
Diet & Weight Management
Customized Palisades Ideal Weight Loss Program balances low-carb nutrition with metabolic health. We address insulin regulation and inflammation while creating sustainable eating plans. This approach improves longevity markers and supports optimal body composition through personalized dietary counseling.

Reiki Healing Programs
Certified Reiki Master/Teacher training and healing sessions use universal energy flow for physical and emotional wellness.
