"You can never solve a problem on the level at which it was created."  - Albert Einstein. I love this quote! To me, what Einstein is encouraging with these words is a transcendence of normal modes of thinking to allow for evaluation of a problem from a whole new level of consciousness. A similar concept might be, "You cannot see the forest for the trees."

If you were able to rise high above the trees, you would see the forest itself, rather than just individual tress. Similarly, if you are able to transcend your normal modes of thinking, you will get a different, and more complete answer to your problem.

I see the truth of these words on a daily basis in my work as a Nutrition and Health Counselor, where I'm constantly seeking to educate my clients about how to see their body as a whole living organism, rather than as a compartmentalized array of heart, joints, skin, head, digestive system, etc.

Learning that your headaches might be related to your digestive issues, or that your fatigue could be linked to your joint pain - in that certain foods might be causing both - is a real "ah-hah" for many people.

Understanding that a constant struggle for weight loss through calorie deprivation is missing the point, in that it's actually a lack of nutrient-dense food (and a body that cannot detoxify properly) that is keeping the weight on in the first place...creates more breakthroughs in awareness.

And then, when we begin to discuss the ways in which a gloomy self-perception or negative self-talk may be at the root of why an individual can't make lasting healthy choices for themselves, more light bulbs go on.

The way most of us have been taught to think is that there is a pill for every ailment. With this perspective, we forget that we are a complete whole, and that every action impacts the whole.

When you begin to understand the inter-relatedness of all things, you begin to look at X health problem from an entirely new, and I would even say, more enlightened, perspective.

Healthy food is an important aspect of this evolved or enlightened perspective, but it goes deeper than that. To create true, lasting good health, we need to look at the whole person and address all levels of health and healing - body, mind, and spirit - and work with each of these areas in an equal and balanced way.

Beginning to see yourself, and your health, in a holistic way is what I call Evolutionary Thinking. And I would go so far as to say, in my humble opinion, that this type of thinking is what is needed to get us through our current health crises, on the global as well as personal level.

In fact, this is what has inspired me to create a whole new Class on Evolutionary Healing: Advanced Nutrition for Body, Mind and Spirit, that takes to heart Einstein's wise words, and addresses health and healing with an entirely new level of thinking.

I've created this class with my colleague and partner David Metz, Certified Clinical herbalist, Healthy Eating Educator, Shamanic/Energy Practitioner.

Together we have many years of combined experience helping people heal. And over our years of working with our clients we've come to realize that true and lasting healing is about more than just eating the right foods, taking the right supplements, and getting out for a little exercise. 

We feel there is a real need for programs that teach you how to optimize health - guiding you to heal on all levels (body, mind, spirit) in a concise, practical, guided, fun, and inspirational format.  

Thus, Evolutionary Healing: Advanced Nutrition for Body, Mind and Spirit was born. And we are so excited to help you evolve your healing to a place of thriving, vibrant good health! 

How can this class help you evolve your health? 

This class is designed to give you practical tips, exercises, techniques and the specific tools you need to create optimal nourishment for the body, the mind, the emotional self, and the spirit/soul.

It's all in the title: Advanced Nutrition for Body, Mind, and Spirit. When we say "Advanced Nutrition," we mean the nourishment and feeding of the whole self. By the end of the Class, you will have learned our top healing protocols, transformative processes, and specific tools for evolving into well-balanced, vibrant, good health.  

And, once you know how to truly care for yourself in all areas of your life, you will realize a new state of radiant healthy being - one you may not have been able to imagine before! 

The Class is offered as a teleclass, so anyone, anywhere, can attend. As with all of my group programs, I'm keeping the price very low so you won't have any excuse not to evolve!    

Also: As a special bonus discount, anyone who has Cleansed with me before (or is a current Cleanser) gets a discounted rate. (READ HERE for MORE INFO)
