Emotional Well Being
Emotional wellness is incredibly important to our overall wellbeing. In fact, scientific organizations and studies all acknowledge just how entwined our mental well being is with our physical. The CDC even acknowledges this:
"Mental and physical health are equally important components of overall health. For example, depression increases the risk for many types of physical health problems, particularly long-lasting conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Similarly, the presence of chronic conditions can increase the risk for mental illness." - CDC Website
In Natural Health circles spirit, mind and body all work together to make us who we are! A natural practitioner also attributes importance to these three areas of our lives: Spirit is the highest form of energy that our body works with, it is the part of us that connects us with God and ties directly to our mental and emotional health. Our mind and its health secondarily ties with our physical function placing our physical body at the low end of the energetic spectrum. This does not mean that a serious physical condition does not impact us mentally and spiritually!!! We know that it can.
We at Athelas want to help you find a place emotional rest so your body can heal. Below is a list of long lasting results that come from emotions left unresolved. Athelas can work with you using a number of well recognized natural approaches. We offer services in Bach Flower Therapy, Body Talk, and Emotional Resolution.

Bach Flower Therapy
Dr. Edward Bach discovered that emotions relate to various physical systems and organs of the body. He then created a means of addressing emotional imbalances using a system of 38 different flowers. These flower essences are usually referred to as “The Bach Flower Remedies.” Bach Flowers are safe for everyone, including children, pregnant women, pets, elderly and even plants and can be found in many grocery stores throughout the United States.
A Bach Therapy Session can be scheduled as a Zoom call or an In Person consultation with Michelle and is a simple interview which helps to uncover emotional unbalances. Flower essences may be recommended as a means for the individual. Typically a follow up session within three to four weeks is recommended. Michelle is a Bach Center Certified Practitioner and instructor.

EmRes
The EmRes experience is a powerful interview based process that can be scheduled as a Zoom call or an in person visit.
"Our body keeps somatic traces of all our traumatic experiences. When exposed to a stimulus that reminds the body of a past danger, the viscero-somatic memory linked to this danger is reactivated, creating the base of a disruptive emotional response. EmRes helps the body recognize that the perceived danger is nowadays obsolete. EmRes allows the body to integrate traumatic information and to tune-in to our current reality instead of reacting through a past memory."- Emotional Resolution Institute

BodyTalk
BodyTalk is a holistic (mind/body) approach in working with our body’s own natural healing mechanisms. A BodyTalk practitioner’s role is to guide our body to reconnecting properly in communication with the mind. This enables our body to supply holistic, non-invasive ways to end physical, mental and emotion pain, relieve stress and attain optimum health. BodyTalk leverages the knowledge of the practitioner, not only in the BodyTalk system, but all other specialties.
A body talk session can be performed in person or if in person cannot work, over a Zoom call. The experience is a quite relaxing session where Michelle uses a form of muscle response testing to systematically evaluate the body while the client reclines. Throughout a session the client may be engaged to perform a gentle tapping excercise at specific times while remaining in a reclined position. A session may last between 30 - 60 minutes. On completion, Michelle may recommend a follow up session.

Physical Naturopathic Assessment
Michelle Riley is a board certified traditional Naturopath and can work with individuals in assessing what the body may be deficient in keeping it from healing. Our bodies can be telling us that it is not optimally working. If you are struggling with any of the examples below, your body may be asking you for help. Michelle will gladly work with you by using traditional naturopathic assessments to examine what your body is telling you it needs help with, and educate you in what you need to do to allow your body an optimal environment to heal in. The ultimate goal is to teach you how to listen to what your physical body is saying it needs.

Primitive Reflexes and Low Level Laser
The Quantum Reflex Integration (QRI) program integrates reflexes using laser and acu-reflex points. Reflexes are the building blocks of development that form in utero and in early infancy. They are essential for the maturation of cognition, movement, and behavior. Reflexes integrate in stages, have a time line, and affect the infant’s progress on all levels. Individuals with conditions such as difficulties in social interaction, difficulties in verbal and non verbal communication, repetitive behaviors, attention difficulties, brain injuries or disorders, neurological disorders, memory problems, learning disabilities, strokes, and pain are finding a reduction of symptoms with QRI™. Practitioners report that use of the protocols for reflexes often relieve and heal specific areas of pain faster. Although QRI works for individuals with specific disabilities, they also allow individuals to reach their potential by strengthening neurological connections. Reflexes may not be integrated due to:
