The Art and Science of WholeSelf Health.

A truly integrated approach to health and wellness involves not only scientific knowledge of the body and its sytems but also the art of intuition. Bod*ecology is a whole system approach to wellness that combines art and science and is grounded in the premise that all systems are inter-related. What happens internally is directly affected by our external environment and relationships and what happens externally is directly affected by how well our internal systems are functioning.

The Bod*ecology approach to health and wellness begins with an individualized focus in three specific areas; movement, thoughts and food. These three basics are the foundation for internal physical, mental/emotional and spiritual well-being. How you think and feel about yourself, your relationships, your community, the unconscious beliefs that you carry about the world and how you choose to nourish yourself all affect your body's biochemistry, which in turn directly effects your quality of living.  

How, when, why and what you eat,  move and think become the basis of your wellness platform.  Movement is also critical for health and wellness, not simply exercise but any kind of movement. Movement that involves full range of motion and soft impact has a direct effect on how you assimilate nutrients as well as your mental and emotional wellness. Your thoughts and beliefs generate energy and stimulate biological processes. Energy creates form. Your thoughts and beliefs have power, how are you using them to shape your WholeSelf Health? A Bod*ecology approach delves into all of these areas so that you can begin to tap into your most vital wellness.

Bod*ecology’s basic mission is to provide knowledgeable, fully engaged help and support for individual’s seeking WholeSelf Health and Well-Being. More specifically, Bod*ecology’s mission is to help you: 

• Find relief from physical, emotional, and mental suffering and pain.
• Understand the basic elements of health and wellness.
• Identify that health and well-being are available to you, no matter what your condition.
• Set goals, plans and strategies designed to achieve results.
• Feel compassionately and unconditionally supported as you undertake the journey to WholeSelf Health.

The Guiding Principles of Bod*ecology are:

Science: analysis and assessment is always grounded within a science based methodology. I am committed to reviewing research and staying on top of cutting edge health related information.

Art: totally intuitive and customized approach for each individual. Every program is unique to your needs. Each session is unique to your needs.

Ease: finding the simplest route to change... support, restoration, self care...

Refuge: even though we have a plan and goals, I meet you where you are at any given day... unconditional positive regard and support are at the foundation of every meeting.

Bod*ecology is an all encompassing approach to health and wellness, based on the concept that every being exists within multiple systems such as immune system and nervous system, relationships, occupation. All systems, internal and external, are interrelated and constantly communicating. These interrelated and constantly communicating systems are known as your personal ecological system.

Identifying and understanding the elements of your personal eco-system can help you travel the sometimes daunting road to whole body health simply and with ease. Small steps consistently managed produce large and lasting results. Small changes will begin to affect the whole; your inner health and your outer health. If you are familiar with living eco-systems you already know that permanent and lasting change can be effected simply by introducing/removing/shifting one small element of the internal or external environment. The same is true of your personal mind/body eco-system. One small shift can create a world of difference in your WholeSelf Health.
