Ionized Detox Foot Bath (Spa) Services

Intro Mini Package 3 (24 min) sessions $99

Healthy Being Natural Health Services offers detox foot spa services, a holistic way of approaching disease through saturation of the blood, tissues cells and organs with ions. The Detox foot spa creates a similar environment as a walk along a beach, only more powerful, because your feet are in direct contact with the ions being made in the water.

These naturally stimulating and relaxing sessions are based on ionization of water and osmosis to draw toxins from the body. One of the latest developments in the detox field is the detox foot spa. It works by sending a small current of energy through the body to energize the body and help it return to its natural state of energy and balance. The body can also absorb negative ions produced by the detox foot spa through the feet.

How does the Detox Foot Spa Work?

Detox Foot Spas operate through a process called electrolysis. This is done by generating the proper amount of current in the water causing the water molecules to divide producing negative ions. Once the negative ions are present in the water, the body absorbs these ions through osmosis

Based on Bioenergetics, it creates an ion energy field similar to that found in the human body. This stimulates cellular energy and enhances the body's ability to cleanse itself internally and naturally at an increased rate, restoring and normalizing the correct pH balance and energy levels.
The ionization process of the Detox foot spa pulls toxins out of your body through your elimination routes ( colon, skin, breath, urine). Ions energize the body and neutralize a myriad of toxins. These neutralized microscopic particles then pass easily through the skin and tissue and are deposited in the water or sloughed naturally through sweat, bile and urine pathways. Most people are shocked at the different colors that the water will turn, even after just a few minutes of using the foot bath.

The water changes colour regardless of whether there is a person’s feet in it or not. This is due to the reaction of the copper array and the polarisation of solids in the water. However, there will normally be 2-3 times more cellular debris in the water when combined with a person’s feet. The toxins in the body are re-ionized at the molecular level and react with the copper array. They produce coloured debris in the water which can be black, green, brown, yellow, white or blue. The colour and amount of debris will depend on the person’s energy state and toxicity levels before each treatment. Water analysis documentation from several treatments has shown a dramatic increase in metals in the water after a treatment.

Healthy individuals often feel more energy, and experience a greater feeling of well-being.

Patients with pain, edema, gout, headaches, and swollen joints have often reported immediate relief.

Other patients with arthritis, allergies, lymph edema, neuralgia and other symptoms have experienced relief and benefits with multiple treatments.

Why Schedule a Detox Foot Bath Treatment?

Ion cleanse detoxification accelerates change in the body. Aging and disease states are characterized by a diminishing anabolic capacity and an increasing catabolic capacity. Toxic buildup of cellular waste and debris is the inevitable outcome of these trends. Environmental toxins, heavy metals in water we drink and food we eat, even the air we breathe can overwhelm our own body systems. The ongoing periodic detoxification is essential to maintain health and avoid disease.

Recommended Treatment Cycles

Because of poor diet and high stress, we tend to accumulate and store excessive quantities of waste products. We all realize that we live in a rather contaminated world and we are constantly bombarded by everything from disease to chemicals. This can really throw off the natural balance of our bodies and leave us diseased and in pain, at least to a certain degree. Detoxifying our bodies on a regular basis through the use of a detox foot spa is an excellent way for us to step into better health.

Being able to detoxify your body on a regular basis is a huge step towards enjoying a balanced and healthy life.

If you are between the agers of 10 and 65 the recommended detoxification cleanse treatment cycle is 2 times a week for 4 weeks, to insure a proper detox.

For ages over 65 the recommended detoxification cleanse cycle is 2 times a week for 6 weeks.

Maintenance programs can be 1 session every 3 or 4 weeks.

In certain cases, due to specific health conditions, we may recommend a 30 minute lymphatic release treatment. View of lymph release service for more information.

Healthy Being Natural Health Services offers several prepaid treatment packages:

Detox Foot Spa Intro Mini Package 3 (24 min) sessions $99

Detox Foot Spa     1 (24 min) session    $40

Lymph Drainage Therapy

Mini Package 3 (30 min) sessions $99

Healthy Being Wellness Boutique offers several lymphatic therapy treatments through the use of a specialized machine that motivates the lymph system. We want to motivate the lymph system to help promote wellness and allow your body to manage stress and environmental toxins and ultimately heal itself.

Frequency therapy, as this therapy is often called, and science now shows that the body responds to certain frequencies in a way that allows a natural health professional to:

Clear lymph congestion
Reduce fibrocystic conditions
Promote collagen fiber production
Reduces fine lines, minimizes wrinkles
Reduces the appearance of cellulite
Promote overall wellness.

What is Lymph and the Lymphatic System?

Lymph is a clear fluid that circulates throughout the body, cleaning away all the dead cells, bacteria and toxins. The Lymphatic System is like a team of garbage collectors, filtering out, gathering up and taking all the unnecessary waste we accumulate in our bodies in everyday life. It is the key to a healthy immune system. The lymph moves around the body in an extensive network of capillaries and this pathway must be kept clean and free flowing to work efficiently. As a sluggish river accumulates pools of stagnant water that act as a breeding ground for bacteria and disease, likewise, if the Lymphatic System becomes sluggish, Lymph can remain stagnant in problem areas, causing inflammation and pain.

The Lymphatic System mirrors the blood circulatory system but is twice the size and has more than 600 nodes situated throughout the body. However, unlike the blood system, the Lymphatic System has no pump and therefore needs help to keep the Lymph fluid moving. Regular exercise will help maintain the flow, but congestion can occur in areas as a result of toxic overload, lack of exercise, improper diet, infection or injury.
When this happens, the build up will cause inflammation and pain.

Skipping, trampoline and body brushing are all good ways of stimulating flow of Lymph but sometimes it is necessary to use additional cleansing techniques like electro lymphatic drainage, manual lymph massage and lymph release.

How do I know I have a lymph problem?

There are many physical signs of congestion in the Lymphatic System that can benefit significantly by improving Lymph circulation. Some of these include:

·      Water Retention, particularly in ankles or fingers, indicating fluid congestion

·      General muscle aches and pains or a stiff neck, often as a result of sprains or whiplash

·      Cellulite and weight problems

·      Breast lumpiness

·      Post surgery tissue congestion, scar formation or stretch marks

·      Skin problems such as acne

·      Carpel Tunnel Syndrome Fibromyalgia

·      Carpel Tunnel Syndrome Fibromyalgia

·      Fibromyalgia Breathing problems, such as asthma or sinusitis

·      Stress, headaches and migraines

·      Immune system problems

·      Glaucoma

·      Fibromyalgia Breathing problems, such as asthma or sinusitis

·      Stress, headaches and migraines

·      Immune system problems

·      Glaucoma

The two therapies we employ at Healthy Being Wellness Boutique are:

Lymph Release
Cellulite Release

How does Lymph Release work?

Lymphatic Release is an electronic frequency therapy. This is a newer treatment that is based on Quantum Physics, using electric energy to not only stimulate the flow but to also release congested lymph by creating a negative energy charge, which helps break up protein clusters that can cause blockages and clog up the lymphatic aystem. While working on the Lymph, the treatment also stimulates the blood flow and helps prevent the blood cells from sticking together. Oxygen and nutrients can therefore be delivered to the body tissues more effectively.

There are two ways to enhance the flow of the lymph system: manual and electronic frequency therapy. Electronic therapy has a number of very clear benefits over manual massage:

    * It can reach areas that manual massage cannot reach. The major components of the lymphatic system occur in areas protected by bony structure, such as the upper chest area. Electronic therapy vibrates and stimulates the lymph nodes under the bone structure, which cannot be achieved manually.
* It can treat areas that would normally be too painful for manual massage such as MD and Fibromyalga. Electronic therapy stimulates the Lymph without putting pressure on the muscles.
    * It can generate quicker results than manual massage because it provides immediate blockage relief in the key Lymph nodes. If these nodes are blocked, then the Lymph will not drain away properly. For many conditions,

Electronic Therapy will achieve as much in one session as in several manual massage sessions.

How does Cellulite Release work?

Similar to lymphatic release, we utilize the same tool and therapy but approach the areas of the body differently. We will concentrate on particular areas of concern for our clients. We specifically target the butt, hips, upper legs, tummy, neck and face are areas.

Cellulite release is a wonderful treatment program for individuals who are:

Showing signs of aging

Losing weight

Recovering from surgery

Recently had a baby (new moms)

Seeking tighter, more toned skin

Exercise enthusiasts with cellulite

Cellulite release works to minimize the appearance of cellulite, strengthens skin tone, firms collagen fibers which fill in fine lines and wrinkles and creates a healthier and more youthful appearance.

At first read it may appear that our services might be invasive or painful, but they are not. In fact, we do not even tough have to touch your skin. We use a wand that emits a frequency level that helps your body's lymph system get moving. The wand is moved back and forth just over thin cotton clothing and communicates to the therapist areas where your lymph system is congested. The therapist then focuses on the areas where you might be more congested- sometimes near the armpits under the breast, neck, back of legs, butt and ankles/feet.

The equipment we us is the Lymph Star Pro. It has adjustable strengths that are individualized for each client based on his or her body and specific health needs. The number of treatments required will vary depending on the severity of the condition. In more severe cases, it is recommended to have treatments 2-3 times a week, reducing down to once a month. Treatment times will also vary; an average session will normally take 30-60 minutes.

Lymph Release (30 min) $35

Community Acupuncture

$15-$40

Community Acupuncture

Community acupuncture is a rapidly growing movement which began with Working Class Acupuncture in Portland, Oregon. Each community acupuncture clinic is independently owned and unique in its own way. However, we all share one common goal, which is to make acupuncture more affordable and accessible by offering acupuncture in a supportive community setting for a sliding scale.

Most US acupuncturists treat patients on tables in individual cubicles. This is not traditional in Asia, where acupuncture usually occurs in a community setting. At Healthy Being Wellness Boutique individuals are worked on in recliners in a quiet, soothing common room. Also, with this more traditional style, less time is spent talking and the acupuncturist relies more on tongue and pulse diagnosis to decide how she will treat you. This allows the acupuncturist to see more patients in an hour so that we can keep prices down for you.

The group setting has benefits beyond just affordability. As with any kind of intentional group endeavor—such as meditation or prayer, for example—when you do something with other people it raises the energy for everyone. It’s the same with acupuncture: receiving treatment in a room with others raises the Qi dynamic and healing is enhanced. It’s also nice for friends and family to be able to come in together.

Another difference is that you decide when you feel ‘done’ before removing the needles. The ‘right’ amount of time will vary from patient to patient, and may vary for you from visit to visit. (If the acupuncturist is busy she may have to limit the time to one hour.) We feel this helps to empower you in your healing process by letting you listen to your body and have input in your treatment.

Please wear loose comfortable clothing; we need to be able to access your elbows and knees. Tank tops and button down shirts are helpful too. Please refrain from wearing colognes or strong scents, as some of our patients have chemical sensitivity. Some of our patients fall asleep and snore; bring earplugs or headphones if you wish. Please take all personal belongings with you into the treatment room, and turn off your cell phone.

The soothing atmosphere in the community room exists because our patients create it by relaxing together. To help us maintain this oasis of calm, we ask that you please speak in whispers and do not socialize with others while you’re in the room.

Will I have to undress in front of other people?

No. The style of acupuncture we practice uses "distal" points. Meaning we can treat problems anywhere in the body by placing tiny needles in your hands and feet. Generally the acupuncture points that we use are located below the knees, below the elbows, and on the ears and head. So nobody needs to undress. Most people just come in make themselves comfortable on one of our couches, take their shoes off, roll up their sleeves and pant legs, and relax while they wait for treatment.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people do not find acupucture painful. The needles are very small, about the width of a cat whisker. The insertion of the needle sometimes feels like nothing at all, other times it may feel like a small tap or a pinch. Common sensations that people feel while the needle is in include slight tingling, numbness, pressure, or aching around the needle. These sensations are normal and often considered beneficial to the treatment. We will ask you to let us know if any of the needles are uncomfortable. If they are we will adjust them to your comfort level.

How many treatments will I need?

Acupuncture is a process. It is very rare for any acupuncturist to be able to resolve a problem with one treatment. The number of treatments you will need can depend on many factors. On your first visit, your acupuncturist will suggest a course of treatment. This can range from "we'd like to see you once a week for the next six weeks" to "we'd like to see you every day for the next three days". This suggestion is based on our experience in treating different conditions. Generally most people notice an improvement within 4-6 visits and a typical course of treatment for an uncomplicated problem is 6-12 visits. However, if you don't come in often enough or long enough, acupuncture probably won't work for you. The purpose of our sliding scale is to help you make that commitment.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes. Acupuncture is considered very safe. In fact, the National Institutes of Health reports that one of the benefits of acupuncture is its low incidence of adverse side effects.

The World Health Organization recognizes the use of acupuncture and herbology in the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions, including:

Infections: cold and flu, bronchitis
Internal disorders: diabetes, hypoglycemia, asthma, high blood pressure, digestive disorders
Eyes-ears-nose-throat: ringing in the ears, dizziness, sinus infection, hay fever
Dermatological: eczema, acne, herpes
Musculo-skeletal and Neurologic: arthritis, sprains and strains, neuralgia, sciatica, back pain, tendonitis, headache, stroke

Lab Testing

$125-$425

At Healthy Being Wellness Boutique we strongly believe that appropriate testing (blood, urine, saliva and stool) is crucial in determining the other half of the equation - that is what is going wrong physiologically within the body and not allowing the body to function optimally, once we collect all your clinical symptoms, which is the first part of the equation.

Through preventive screening, scientifically based laboratory tests also aid in the early detection of potentially fatal conditions, and in so doing, lead to early treatment. In short, lab tests can help both to save lives and to improve the quality of life.

Healthy Being Wellness Boutique offers you a variety of health tests that will not only help us assess areas of imbalance more accurately, but also help us understand the exact root of your underlying symptoms. In working with our Naturopathic trained Holistic Nutritionist, we will determine what clinical lab tests would be ideal of a proper diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of conditions and diseases.

We use SpectraCell Laboratories, Inc., a specialized clinical testing laboratory company. SpectraCell has become the premier provider of tests for identifying subclinical nutritional deficiencies. These laboratories are world renowned for their high quality testing, providing increased accuracy and sensitivity with test results and take into account the individual’s symptoms.

We offer specialized testing in the following areas:

Nutrient Assessment
MicroNutrient testing is an innovative assessment of a patient’s nutritional status. Nutrient testing is a clinically effective diagnostic tool for the prevention and management of chronic disease conditions. There is overwhelming evidence confirming that nutrient deficiencies have been shown to suppress immune function contributing to chronic disease process including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimer's.

Over 31 vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants are evaluated. Even if you are eating a "balanced” or healthy diet and taking supplements, your body could still lack vital and necessary nutrition. These tests help you understand your individual diet needs by evaluating their overall nutritional status, assessing their functional need for vitamins and minerals, and providing recommendations for supplementation.

Cardiovascular Testing

Lipoprotein Particle Profile™ is the most advanced lipoprotein particle test available. Cholesterol testing has historically been used as the standard indicator for cardiovascular disease classified as HDL (good) or LDL (bad). However, it is actually the lipoprotein particles that carry the cholesterol throughout the body, not necessarily the cholesterol within them, that are responsible for key steps in plaque production and the resulting development of cardiovascular disease.Now there is an advanced cholesterol testing technology which accurately measures both the density and number of lipoprotein particles. Measuring the lipoprotein subgroups is the only way to evaluate new risk factors, which is crucial for an accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk – according to the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP).

Aspirin Response Test (ART) Measures levels of 11-dehydro thromboxane b2 to determine aspirin resistance for patients on aspirin therapy. 25% of patients on aspirin therapy receive little or no benefit.

Aging Assessment

Telomere Testing. A Telomere Test can determine the length of a patient's telomeres in relation to the patient's age.Telomeres are sections of genetic material at the end of each chromosome whose primary function is to prevent chromosomal “fraying” when a cell replicates. As a cell ages, its telomeres become shorter. Eventually, the telomeres become too short to allow cell replication, the cell stops dividing and will ultimately die - a normal biological process. SpectraCell’s Telomere Test can determine the length of a patient’s telomeres in relation to the patient’s age

Chemistry Tests. This group of (serum) tests consists of protein, albumin, prealbumin, iron, TIBC and ferritin, and offers a valuable complement to our comprehensive tests (white cell) for vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids.

Zyto Balance Nutrition Assessment (Bio Communication)

Food is one of our most powerful tools to use to maintain health, prevent and treat disease. Hippocrates said, “let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.” There are vast applications for food and pharmaceutical-grade nutrients, and this is a common therapy used at Healthy Being Natural Health Services.

Healthy Being incorporates a very individualized approach to diet and health, emphasizing food quality and self-care. Food allergy and sensitivity, digestive support, immune support and weight-related dietary change are particular areas of interest. Melissa Gallagher, a holistic nutritionist, can provide you with dietary recommendations to support healthy living and to treat chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Melissa is adept at guiding you through the “health food” maze! She provides you hand-outs with simple recipes, cooking information and meal plans.

Nutritional goals are achieved through the use of various tools including diet diaries. Our nutrition counseling works within the context of your values and daily life patterns. Many types of diets are recommended, but an emphasis on a whole foods diet is a common denominator. Whether someone eats animal products or not, we can help assure that they are getting sufficient nutrition and suggest dietary changes that might improve their health.

Melissa will also help you understand the relationship between food and health, which can be a strong motivator to change your current habits. A unique service we offer is a guided shopping trip to local grocery or health food store to help familiarize you with different foods to buy and prepare.

As a man you have unique types of health problems and requirements from your practitioner. Treating these problems with natural therapies is safe, effective, requires less drug use and also targets the cause of your problem rather than just treating the symptoms. You will feel empowered, in control, assured of safety and current evidence by choosing to Incorporate Healthy Being's unique natural treatments

    * Erectile dysfunction
    * Premature ejaculation
    * Prostate problems
    * Fertility and sperm quality
    * Low libido
Once you reach your 30's natural production of hormones such as testosterone and growth hormone decreases, resulting in lower energy levels, and other common signs of aging. This decline in hormone production accelerates with age.

Many men over the age of 40 are experiencing Andropause or male menopause.

However, as there is little media coverage of this condition, there is a huge lack of awareness of this condition in the community. This results in men being unfairly labelled as having a mid-life crisis, when in fact their hormonal levels are declining.

The symptoms of male menopause include:

* loss of drive and increased fatigue
* memory problems
* erectile dysfunction/impotence
* weight gain
* loss of muscle tone and strength
* depression
* anxiety
* cardiovascular problems
* bone density decreases

If you answer Yes to 4 or more of the questions below you are most likely suffering from Andropause:

Are you a male 40 years of age or older?
Do you experience memory loss?
Do you experience mood changes?
Do you feel depressed (ie. withdrawn, lonely, sad and do the things that once gave you pleasure no longer do so)?
Have you experienced a loss of libido and/or erectile dysfunction?
Have you gained weight and lost muscle tone and strength?
Have you lost your motivation and drive?
Do you experience fatigue?

Andropause is Male Menopause. These symptoms are caused by a decline in Testosterone and other androgens (hormones) which commonly occurs after 40.

By using a cooperative and integrative approach to men's health our recommended therapy plans will often consist of the use of several different types of treatments including conjunctive treatment with conventional medical services, acupuncture, herbal medicine, lifestyle and nutritional advice, osteopathy and psychotherapy. By using several treatment approaches simultaneously, our clients get better and faster results.
