Happy New Year! There are a few announcements to share at Vital Integrative Medicine!

With the shift to 2021, I find myself feeling some relief and hope but more than ever before there is the awareness that there is still a lot of work to be done. And as always, the work starts with ourselves. I am so inspired to see people taking better care of themselves, seeking self-care and wanting to learn more about alternative medicine. This shift is powerful. Each change we make in lifestyle trickles down to generations to come.

With that being said, I am so happy to share the the news of another team member joining Vital Integrative Medicine! I would like to introduce you to Christy Evans. I have known Christy for years. She was once my patient in San Jose, where we both lived. Now, she lives in Reno and will be working remotely with patients. She has extensive training in a technique called Holowave. She is able to tap into a patient’s energetic field from afar and tune into specific body parts, organ systems, emotions, beliefs, and more that may be preventing the person from achieving the health or healing they are seeking. Here is a little bit more from Christy on her background.

Christy Evans

As a Holowave practitioner, I am able to create a personalized healing activation and individualized wellness plan for each client. The Holowave Self-Empowerment System was founded by Masha Levina. I was led to the path of Holowave healing and healer through my own health crisis. Through my healing transformation, I have been required to listen to my intuition and utilize my multi-disciplinary trainings to grow deeply on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It is my joy to now be able to share my gifts and healing modalities with you. Together we can create a path toward health optimization and personal empowerment.

My passion for healing began with my masters degree in speech-language pathology. I worked with adults who experienced neurocognitive injuries and required rehabilitation. After several years working with this population, I became motivated to help people stay well. This led me to trainings and certifications in yoga, meditation, qigong, astrology, and many other wellness modalities. Additionally, I am certified as a practitioner of the Holowave Self-Empowerment System, and I am actively pursuing a certification in holistic nutrition.

The journey to understand embodied wellness led me inward where I discovered our multidimensional nature. I realized that physical health is not isolated and requires a holistic approach. This understanding led me to the importance of disentangling from old, stored negative emotions and limiting beliefs as an integral part of the wellness journey. My greatest joy is witnessing the transformation from healing to empowerment where the body knows how to heal and soul radiates purpose.

Nature is my balm. I lean on the 5 elements as a roadmap for holistic wellness. My husband, son, and I relocated from California to Reno, NV to be immersed in Nature. As a family we enjoy time outdoors, snow shoeing, hiking, skiing, playing soccer and sports, sun gazing, hammock swinging, paddle boarding, and earthing. My most recent creative outlet is art in the form of acrylic pouring which brings out my joy for play!

I like to think of her as a medical intuitive, and have been blown away by her readings on patients and on myself. Layers of my own conditioning and dis-ease have been uncovered within her practice. It is such a blessing to be able to collaborate with her and to unravel some tough cases together. Below is a testimony from a patient who has benefited from acupuncture and Holowave.

“I feel like Iris and Christy saved my life!! I began seeing Iris in November because I was having extreme pain in all of my joints. She worked closely with me to get me on the right acupuncture schedule and she put me on herbs that helped considerably with my swelling and pain. She recommended a session with Christy to see if there were any underlying factors we were missing. Christy's remote analysis was spot on! She made some recommendations that were extremely supportive to my immune system and I continued to check in with her to see if there were any tweaks that needed to be made.
My pain level in November before visiting the clinic was an 8 and today I am at 0, and I owe it all to Iris and Christy! They really complement each other and offer a complete approach to healing.”

NEW PRODUCTS!!

I am now proudly offering products from Standard Process! This company goes above and beyond in terms of quality, training, and results. I am so excited to offer more alternatives for patients. The supplements are natural and food based.

Also, I now have two new products from Pure Encapsulations. Many of my patients know, use, and love this brand. I have had a lot of patients recently request some support for memory so I am now carrying MemoryPro. This helps with cerebral blood flow and supports neurotransmitters in the brain. I am also now stocking MotilPro which is promotes regular bowel movements by stimulating gut motility neurons.
