Our Services
Below you will find links to the categories of services our practitioners provide. Because of our collaborative and (w)holistic approach to health and wellbeing, some services fall into multiple categories of healing.
Nutrition Services
Trying To Eat Healthy Can be Confusing
Are you confused about nutrition? Do you want to eat healthy but don’t know what to eat? There are a ton of different diets that we’re presented with these days: the Keto diet, the Palio diet, a low carb diet, the no nightshade diet, the no lectins diet, or any of the other myriad of “diets”.
But are you confused by the choices and approaches? What is right, or optimal, for you? At IIM we understand that one diet does not fit all. Now we can test your APOE gene and can know exactly what nutrition plan is ideal for your genetics.
Therapeutic Body Work
Body Work is essential to your overall wellbeing
Many times we are unaware of how much we hold onto in our physical bodies until we have some body work. We realize that releasing that through body work processes is optimal to health and wellbeing. Here at IIM have practitioners offering multiple forms of therapeutic body work, and can assist you in finding which ones are perfect for you and your body.
Stress Management
Stress IS Literally killing us
Research has shown that over 80% of visits to primary care providers are stress induced or stress related. Therefore, managing stress is an important part of creating optimal health and well being. Some say there is no such thing as stress, it’s just people having stressful thoughts. Chronic stress is killing us.
Integrative Medicine
Finding a (w)holistic approach
Integrative medicine makes use of all appropriate therapies, working together to help you reach your health goals through both conventional and non conventional methods. At IIM we use a wide array of therapies to help people achieve their optimal health and well being. We have many tools in our toolbox other than just usual prescriptions and surgery approach.
Trauma Work
Healing From Trauma
We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Sometimes that experience contains significant traumatic events that can significantly affect our ability to live a complete and fulfilling life. Our practitioners are skilled in multiple therapies to help resolve trauma.
All Modalities

Massage Therapy
Research has shown that "regular use of massage therapy leads to improvement in pain, stiffness, range of motion, hand grip strength and overall joint function?"
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage therapy melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. Each session lasts about an hour. The massage therapist uses the hot stones that she/he holds in their hands to massage the muscles and tissue to cause muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, water-heated stones. The hot stones are very soothing and therapeutic. Benefits of a hot stone massage may be to relieve stress and anxiety, promote better sleep, relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia and increase the immune system.
Nutrition & Diet
Healthy nutrition is one of the most important interventions that we employ at IIM. Much of our food system in America is toxic. It is laden with chemicals, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides that are destroying gastrointestinal and endocrine health. We teach you how to:
Eat healthy,
Choose nutritious foods, and
Determine which foods need to be organic and which foods can be conventionally grown.
We use the foundations of the APO E gene diet. This gene was discovered in the late 1970’s and is responsible for cholesterol transport in the body. When one knows their APO E and follows a diet based on their particular APO E gene, inflammation (which is the root of all chronic diseases) is reduced, reversed and/or prevented. The APO E gene diet and exercise program is a very exciting part of our wellness and disease prevention strategy. We know that 1/3 of all chronic illnesses in America (including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke and auto-immune diseases) can be prevented with diet and exercise. The APO E gene diet and exercise program is a significant contributor to greater health, well-being and disease prevention!
Reiki
A gentle hands-on healing technique to assist the body's natural healing processes, and develop emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. It induces a deep relaxation, to help people cope with difficulties, relieve emotional stress, and improve overall well-being.
Spiritual Healing
”Spiritual Healing” is an integration of the mind, body, soul and spiritual elements based upon the belief that all healing begins in the spiritual realm.
A spiritual practitioner is trained to recognize that all illnesses have a spiritual component and that everything is connected–the spiritual, emotional, physical and mental. Therefore, if one of these systems is out of balance the disharmony can be felt within the entire energetic field or web. The goal of a healing is to create balance within this web and create harmony where there is a disconnect. A spiritual practitioner is trained to work in the spiritual realm and identify the root cause of the dis-ease. Some of the tools the spiritual practitioner uses are storytelling, listening and discernment. Applying spiritual wisdom brings about healing and restoration for the whole person.
Yamuna Body Rolling
Yamuna is a revolutionary method that teaches one how to feel the inner logic of the muscular system. Each body has its own logic and its own language of release. Yamuna body rolling targets the skin, fasciae, muscle fibers, tendons, ligaments, bones, internal organs and the nervous system. The greatest benefit of Yamuna is its multidimensional elongation of muscle fibers. Besides the regular longitudinal elongation achieved by conventional stretching, Yamuna enables the transversal and diagonal expansion of muscle fibers so the body can move more dynamically. Yamuna Body Rolling helps muscles and fascia become unglued from each other so that the bone, muscle and joint can perform more efficiently. Yamuna develops bone density, resilience and core strength to tone your body so you can move with greater ease while developing an awareness of how your body supports you.
Havening
"Havening Techniques are powerful tools that use touch, attention and imagination to alleviate the negative consequences of traumatic or stressful events. Havening or Delta Techniques™ is a method which is designed to change the brain to de-traumatize the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body. Results are reduced stress, increased resilience, higher levels of achievement, and emotional, psychological and physical healing.
The Havening Techniques have been developed by Ronald A. Ruden
M.D., Ph.D. and his brother Steven J. Ruden, D.D.S., ICF/ACC.
“Havening techniques engages our inherent biological system to permanently
heal, strengthen and empower our minds and bodies." Ronald A. Ruden M.D.,
Ph.D.
Advanced Integrative Therapy
Advanced Integrative Therapy is an energy-based therapy that helps to identify and treat conscious and unconscious traumas and clear the trauma energy out of your body and your chakras.
APO E Genetic Testing
The APO E gene was discovered in the late 1970’s and is responsible for cholesterol transport in the body. There are three APO E genotypes – 2, 3 and 4. Each person gets one from their Father and one from their Mother, so each person has one of 6 different pairs: 2/2, 2/3, 2/4, 3/3/, 3/4, or 4/4. Each of these 6 genotypes has their own fuel source requirement. For instance, a 2/2 and 2/3 needs more of a long-term fuel source, i.e. healthy fats. Whereas a 3/4 or 4/4 needs has a very difficult time clearing fats and cholesterol and needs more of a short-term fuel source, i.e. healthy carbohydrates. This is why one diet does not fit all. When one knows their APO E and follows a diet based on their APO E gene, inflammation (which is the root of all chronic diseases) is reduced, reversed and/or prevented.
The cost of the APO E gene test is $350 which includes:
APO E gene testing
Office visit to review your results
Perfect Gene Diet Book and
Nutritional handouts to help you understand and apply your results.
Amma|Acupressure
Amma Therapy is a complex system of bodywork based on Traditional Chinese Medicine that focuses on the balance and movement of energy within the body. Amma literally means push/pull and includes manipulation, massage and acupressure along the major meridian channels. The techniques of Amma Therapy aim to remove blockages and free the flow of energy in the body, thereby restoring, promoting and maintaining optimal health.
Amma therapy is more than just a physical treatment, as each meridian holds emotional energy. For example, the :
Lung channel holds grief
Kidney channel holds fear
Liver channel holds anger
Heart channel holds nervous energy
Gall Bladder channel holds frustration and/or deep resentment
Mobilizing the energy in these channels can help relieve deeply held emotional energy. Thus, Amma Therapy is a powerful mind/body treatment.
Biofeedback
The Indigo Biofeedback System helps manage & retrain stress patterns, empowering you to make lifestyle changes to support overall health & wellbeing.
Breast Health

Lab Testing
At IIM we do an extensive amount of lab testing that may not be routinely done by your PCP. For instance, many patients tell me that their thyroid level was checked by another provider. Then I discover that only the TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) was tested. For many patients, testing only the TSH is inadequate to fully assess thyroid function. We commonly include the TSH, Free T3, Free T4, TPO and Thyroglobulin antibodies to fully assess one’s thyroid function.
We also do an advanced cholesterol test that looks at the LDL particle sizes, LDL small, medium particles, Lp(a) and HDL particles. This test also includes inflammation markers (such as insulin, insulin resistance, fibrinogen, homocysteine, myeloperoxidase, LpPLA2, and TMAO) that are commonly associated with advancing heart and vascular diseases. Research bears that 50% of all people who die with an acute myocardial infarction have a normal standard lipid panel. So testing the advanced lipid panel is imperative for most people since heart disease is a silent disease and remains the number 1 killer in America.
HeartMath
