Barbara Mahler

In order to optimize your health Barbara designs a treatment plan specific to your individual patterns and biochemistry, and looks at your health through the following lenses:

Traditional Oriental Medicine seeks to create harmony within an individual’s body and between that individual and the larger creation. Everything in the world is understood to be made up of the five elements, including our bodies, and creating harmony among those elements is fundamental to all healing. Chinese Medicine understands a person’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects as one interrelated system.

Functional Nutrition is an approach to treating health conditions and preventing disease by finding the root cause of your health issues. We find out why you have the diagnosis by doing an in-depth assessment to look at all of your body systems (not just the one causing symptoms), and evaluate how well your body is communicating. Functional nutrition focuses on the patient instead of the disease. It is a personalized method of optimizing your health based on your individual genetics, lab values, lifestyle, and more.

Your Treatment Plan may include supplements, herbal remedies, dietary recommendations, wellness coaching, gentle detoxification, brain and body exercises, acupuncture (this is very limited because of COVID-19), and relaxation practices.
