Services
Functional Medicine
Our functional medicine approach addresses chronic conditions through personalized treatment plans. We combine advanced diagnostics with natural therapies to identify and treat root causes of illness. With comprehensive assessments and ongoing patient education, we help manage conditions like autoimmune disorders, metabolic syndrome, and hormonal imbalances through evidence-based, holistic interventions.
IV Therapy
IV therapy delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. We offer customized IV formulations including vitamin C, Myers Cocktail, and chelation therapy. This treatment supports immune function, detoxification, and cellular energy production while addressing specific health concerns like chronic fatigue and cardiovascular health through targeted nutritional interventions.
Hormone Replacement
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses plant-derived hormones identical to human hormones. We address imbalances caused by aging, stress, or environmental factors through personalized treatment plans. This therapy helps alleviate symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, and metabolic disturbances while restoring hormonal equilibrium through natural, molecularly-identical hormone supplementation.
Detoxification
Our structured detoxification programs remove accumulated toxins through phased treatment plans. Combining nutritional support with drainage therapies, we enhance liver and kidney function while addressing symptoms of toxicity. This process includes personalized supplementation and lifestyle modifications to optimize the body's natural detoxification pathways and improve overall metabolic health.
Allergy Testing
We identify food and environmental sensitivities through advanced IgG/IgA antibody testing. This diagnostic approach reveals delayed hypersensitivity reactions contributing to chronic symptoms. By analyzing immune responses to 96 common allergens, we develop targeted elimination diets and gut healing protocols to reduce inflammation and improve digestive and systemic health.

Report
I have seen immense improvements both physically AND mentally/emotionally. It requires lots of energy to store "trauma" in the body. Once that is released through reiki, the body is free to mend itself physically. I've seen marked improvement in all three areas. I feel better, sleeping again and haven't been sick; all in such a short time! I highly recommend reiki treatment with Carla. She will make a difference in your life. She has in mine
