Trauma, stress and Nervous system healing
The thyroid gland controls so much of our metabolism and body functions. Did you know that thyroid hormone receptors are found everywhere from your brain to bone to liver and kidney? This important gland is often misunderstood in western medicine. There are many ways to nourish and balance the thyroid with food, herbs and nervous system work.

Mystery and difficult to treat health challenges
It is common for those who seek out holistic healing to have already seen many practitioners, whether traditional M.D.s, or alternative medicine healers, without relief or a satisfying answer. It can be key to have a fresh set of eyes take a look at your overall health picture from both a trauma-informed, energetic standpoint, as well as a medical one.
"The opposite of a state of stress and pain is not relaxation, it is a state of enjoyment of life most of us are too wound up to even experience"
Testimonials
“I have an autoimmune disease that causes significant painful inflammation and stiffness in my back, neck, and other areas. Dr. O gave me a list of essential oils that would help and instructions on preparation & application. When I'm having pain I apply my blend to the affected areas and I'm thrilled at how much it helps with the pain and stiffness.”

I was presenting with constant heart palpitations for a couple of months, depression, fatigue and loss of energy. Oceana encouraged me to create a little ceremony for myself with the tea, so I did. I found time for myself, sat in my cozy bed and set an intention before taking my first sip. I thanked the herbs for nurturing me back to health, as I slowly and consciously sipped the warm tea. I felt a deep sense of relaxation almost immediately.
The next morning my heart palpitations had completely subsided after many doctors appointments, and tests that showed everything was okay (yet palpitations persisted). It has been nearly 3 months of no palpitations, if I feel them coming on, I make a cup of her tea and I instantly feel better.
Oceana was guided by her heart to include the healing herbs that I truly needed for emotional trauma, that was manifesting into physical ailments.
She works through intuition and wisdom. I’m so grateful she listened to her inner voice to make me the blend of tea she did, it truly continues to help heal my heart. Thank you Oshi for your gift.

My 6-year-old daughter had been suffering from constipation on and off, and had developed an anal fissure. It was a vicious cycle, she did not want to go to the bathroom because she was afraid of the pain, but withholding was making her stools larger and re-injuring the area. Our pediatrician prescribed fiber and Miralax, but I wanted to use something natural, especially since this could be for long-term use. A 1/2 tsp of magnesium nightly softened things up enough to allow the fissure to heal and helped her to get on a more regular schedule, and seemed to help her to sleep. We only use it intermittently now, but even when the constipation returns, she has not re-injured the area in five months.
My 3-year-old son was getting recurrent ear infections, seemingly every time he caught a cold or any winter virus. I was worried about the repetitive courses of high doses of antibiotics, so decided to try garlic drops. It took a few tries, but he eventually started to associate the drops with relief. Now he asks for the drops if he starts to feel any ear pain, and he lies still while I administer them. I plan to start using them twice a day if he gives me the slightest indication that his ears feel full, and hopefully if we catch it early enough, we can avoid exposing him to more antibiotics.

“When I was experiencing significant anxiety, Oceana listened to my concerns and suggested herbal teas that would be supportive to quell anxious feelings and promote relaxation. She walked me through preparation and checked in on me after a few days. I’m happy to say I found relief. What’s more, this remedy continues to serve me in times of high stress. It is safe, simple and effective. Thank you!”

Naturopathic medicine is an integrative approach to health. Naturopathic doctors take a 4 year medical school graduate program which includes all the traditional courses in a medical school curriculum, from biochemistry to immunology to pharmacology. We learn how to draw blood, give injections,and write prescriptions for pharmaceutical drugs. However, we also learn herbal medicine, counseling, and nutrition alongside traditional medicine. Like medical students, we also receive clinical training in a real clinic, alongside our classroom education.
Perhaps most importantly, we are doctors trained to begin with lower-force interventions first, and to work with the whole person, honing in on everything from nutrition, to mineral deficiencies, to trauma healing. While we are equipped with what we call “higher force interventions” such as antibiotic use and prescription medications, we use our medical training to assess the safest, most effective route to healing. We can also work alongside your primary care doctor as an adjunct care provider, working in harmony with allopathic medicine.
Naturopathic medicine is individualized; no two patients receive the same treatment, even those with the same condition. Every person is unique, every blueprint, every life story, every blood chemistry picture. Unique treatments for each person make for more effective treatments, where we can address the root cause rather than treating people as their conditions.
