Therese supports an integrated view ofthe entire human being. Taking into account all levels of energetic awareness, Therese treats the Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual disharmonies that contribute to the disintegration ofform and function of the Body's systems. Through treatment, pathways ofenergy and blood circulation are released, and flow restored, the body's own regeneration instincts are engaged to enhance vitality.

Therese has guided many patients through conceptionto full-term pregnancies, attended to laboring and delivering mothers, and cared for post-partum and nursing mothers and their children.

Therese's specialties include: Autoimmune and Chronic Degenerative Diseases, Emotional Disorders, Neuro-Emotional Technique, Sexuality and Health,CCMOncolgy, Clinical Aromatherapy, Tai Qi and ViniYoga.

"I have always perceived the human beingas an intricate composition of energetic routes and 'Health' as the unobstructed flow ofthese subtle energies within a biological structure. Human beings are intrinsically regenerative and when properly supported therapeutically, the body's instinctive wisdom will seek a state of vitality and dynamic health."

Therese lives in San Jose. She shares her life and ideas with her Husband Neal, stepson, Sean and Daughters, Natisse and Genevieve. Her dogs "Xiao Qi" (Small Energy) and Sparky keep the family entertained and on their toes.
