INTRODUCTION
"Hear Me Out!"
Wellness is an adventure, and mine began in 1993 when my youngest daughter was
diagnosed with ADHD. Through personal study, I discovered that all of her emotional and
physical symptoms could be corrected without medications. When I was diagnosed with
cancer in 1997 I was introduced to (and later mentored in) Traditional Chinese Medicine and
recovered without drugs, radiation, or surgery. I continued to study these and other ancient
philosophies, receiving a certification (NADA) in drug and alcohol treatment in 1998 and a
degree in ministry in 2001.
A close family friend struggled with obesity and in 1999, together we began exploring ways
to utilize the things I’d been learning and ways to apply these skills to her particular struggle.
She lost nearly 150 lbs in less than two years, maintaining her new size for more than five
years (and counting).
Since then, I’ve watched my program evolve, and have been humbled and blessed to help
my clients take greater control of their own health and wellness on physical, emotional, and
spiritual levels. Each individual participates at his or her own pace, addressing their own
issues, with no requirements to change diet, exercise, or lifestyle choices.
Ears 2 R Health(c) Alternative Healthstyles(TM) is a program based on principles of wisdom
that have spanned many cultures and countless generations but which don’t always support
or agree with western schools of thought regarding health and wellness. According to
western or allopathic viewpoint, the body is a machine and the doctor is the mechanic, but
may fall short if nothing is actually broken. Doctors don’t make money until and unless they
can identify something to keep you coming back. They use drugs and/or surgery as an
attempt to eradicate symptoms but in too many unfortunate cases these methods (the
medical model) eradicate future health with damaging effects on our internal organs.
In cultures which recognize the influence of the Tao (pronounced DOW and means “the way
it works”), the body is viewed as a garden which must be nurtured to its optimal state and
cannot be forced. These cultures focus on prevention and maintenance rather than waiting
for crisis, viewing the internal organs as the root of emotion, and emotions as the root of
disease. When the root is nurtured, the fruit is healthy. It is so much easier to maintain
health than to fight illness, and these ideals enable each individual to self-treat rather than
rely on a “professional” for the maintenance of their own health and wellness.
The body exhibits imbalance and disharmony in many ways. Ears 2 R Health reflexologists
are trained to observe various simple indicators to help determine which organs are
involved, and subsequently may assist the client in identifying emotional and physical
factors while exploring ways each individual can take control of their own healthstyle. Clients
can choose from a variety of tools and levels of participation and education. This program
meets everyone right where they’re at and everyone chooses their own progress and/or
duration or therapy.
Ears 2 R Health is a multi-disciplinary approach to wellness. The scope and duration of the
program is ultimately a choice made by the client, not by the therapist (except by right of
refusal; see Waiver). We exist to help you develop your own personal Toolbox filled with
ways to live, cope, and succeed in your life with higher quality and satisfaction, addressing
body, mind and spirit to allow participants to experience complete and permanent recovery.
We will heed all client requests for assistance in this recovery process, and offer such
assistance to the best of our collective abilities.
