From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) & Acupuncture, mental and emotional disorders interrupt the flow of “qi” (or life-force energy) in the body and cause imbalance. Prolonged stress and imbalance can result in physical symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, insomnia and digestive problems. TCM’s holistic approach does not segment the mind / body / spirit for treatment: it seeks to bring the entire being into balance. TCM and acupuncture treats the root cause and alleviates symptoms by restoring the flow of qi, releasing endorphins, and relaxing and calming the system.

 

Naturopathic Medicine can improve mood and reduce anxiety by addressing the underlying imbalances through dietary changes, mind-body medicine, homeopathy, herbs and nutritional supplements. Our Naturopathic Doctor will work in collaboration with western medical approaches to maximize improvements and avoid any potentially dangerous drug interactions. Naturopathic medicine is helpful, too, for children with autistic spectrum disorder or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders.

 

The soothing touch Massage and Bodywork offers can help people to feel safer, more connected and more grounded. Massage and bodywork plays an important role in the therapeutic healing process as it releases emotions held in the musculature, helps in re-patterning – replacing negative mind-body patterns with positive ones – and enhances and accentuates the healing work of other modalities, such as psychotherapy or counseling. Massage also releases naturally occurring “happy hormones” in the body, giving you an instant lift.

The goal of Psychotherapy and Counseling is positive change. Therapy can be challenging, as uncomfortable emotions and thoughts can arise as part of the treatment process. However, therapy provides long lasting benefits and support. Learning and addressing underlying causes of your mental or emotional problem not only provides symptom relief, but gives you tools for identifying and avoiding triggers in the future. Therapy also provides you with management and coping skills to help you stay grounded, and helps you modify behaviors that you would like to change.

There are so many types of therapies and therapists; it might feel a little overwhelming to get started. Choosing the right therapist for you can take some time and work, but it’s worth the effort. The connection you have with your therapist is essential. You need someone who you can trust, with whom you feel comfortable discussing difficult material, and who will be a partner in your recovery…so take some time at the beginning to find the right person.

At AllOne, we are very fortunate to have an amazing team of therapists using different modalities and techniques. They have both expertise and compassion to offer to people coping with overwhelming stress, anxiety and depression. They have many years of clinical experience helping people work through challenges with many modalities available – from Gestalt Therapy, BodyTalk, Hypnosis, Life and Spiritual Coaching. We are confident that you are going to be able to find the right person and approach effective at helping you manage these conditions, heal from past traumas and rediscover the passion and enthusiasm for life.

 

 

OPTIMAL DIGESTION

 

An integrated, comprehensive program for people who suffer from digestive complaints, including IBS, acid reflux, celiac disease, colitis, food sensitivities and allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, heartburn, constipation, gas, bloating and stress-related digestive symptoms.

 

Naturopathic medicine can discover the root cause of digestive problems through your symptoms and extensive testing, including food sensitivities. It can help improve digestion and your overall sense of well-being through a comprehensive and individualized program of dietary changes, mind-body medicine, herbs, nutritional supplements, and homeopathy. Naturopathy can help heal the digestive tract and prevent the return of gastrointestinal symptoms.

 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture utilizes acupuncture, herbal medicine and moxibustion to reduce symptoms, ease recovery and help the body heal and function effectively. Many digestive conditions, both acute and chronic, respond well to TCM. Treatment with TCM restores the body’s natural balance and helps prevent future dysfunction.

 

Massage and Bodywork is very effective for treating stress-related digestive conditions, such as IBS, acid reflux and spastic colon. It soothes the tense muscles that impede digestion and eases stress, allowing the body to digest more smoothly and efficiently. Colon massage is beneficial for spastic colon and constipation as it physically assists the elimination process. Craniosacral massage is recommended for IBS as it helps to relax and normalize the nervous system.

 

In holistic medicine, the stomach and digestive tract are known to be places of emotional holding. There is often a significant emotional component to digestive problems such as IBS, acid reflux and constipation. Emotional healing through Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy or the BodyTalk System can help you identify and release held emotions, such as sadness and anger that can impede digestion. You will have the opportunity to gain an understanding about how you process food and emotions – which often mirror each other – and learn strategies for becoming more efficient at both.
