S.A.A.T. certified
S.A.A.T.(Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment):
Your first appointment will include a consult and discussion of which allergies you are interested in treating, an evaluation and testing for various allergies and the insertion of up to 6 to 10 needles, depending on where they are found in the ear and if there is enough room. Everyone’s ears are different size and shape and the needle placement is very specific for each allergy. The appointment will include as many needles as the practitioner can safely and accurately place at the time of that appointment. Some allergies will require homeopathy spray(s), depending on if auto-antibodies are present. This will be discussed at the appointment and there may be varying additional cost for the sprays. Most needles will remain in the ear for three weeks (some four weeks) and work best if the ear is not submerged under water. This will be discussed at the appointment. The needles are very tiny and once placed there is little to no pain while they remain in the ear.
Zero Balancing-certified
Zero Balancing:
Zero Balancing is a powerful mind-body therapy that helps to bring balance to the body's structure and energy. It works at the bone level which is the deepest part of the body and often holds memories. Gentle fulcrums help to release stuck energy from the body.
Your first appointment will last one hour and consists of a general health history, and discussion of how zero balancing works. You will receive a full ZB treatment.
Subsequent visits will last 50 min.
It is recommended that you schedule 3 consecutive weekly appointments to start off with ZB. The treatments are cumulative and usually after several in a row, an assessment will be made to determine how treatment should proceed.

Auricular Medicine
Auricular Medicine aims to treat the patient as a whole, not just for one thing. Instead of giving the patient something (a pill) to suppress the symptoms, it gives the patient the best possible treatment outcome by finding the root cause of the symptoms.
The diagnosis (what is actually causing a disease), treatment (techniques to actually treat what is going on in the body) while allowing/encouraging the body to get rid of the cause (virus/bacteria/fungus) etc and reminds the Immune System to do it’s job correctly, and preventative/prophylaxis (preventative ways of keeping said disease(s) out of the body in the future) of disease.
Once the assessment/evaluation is complete, a treatment plan will be recommended. Often this will involve remedy (similar to homeopathy) sprays to begin the process of detox, treatment and getting to the root of issues
