She emphasizes that throughout the course she will discuss ways to nourish the body’s basic systems, prevent illness, and should there be a problem, of helping the body heal itself.
The outline for the six-week course follows:
1. Introduction to various healing therapies, such as color, sound, and aroma therapy, massage therapy and acupressure.
2. Nervous system, proper breathing and relaxation.
3. Immune system and infectious diseases, lymphatics and ways of cleansing and strengthening natural defenses.
4. Circulatory, urinary and reproductive systems.
5. Endocrine systems (primarily thyroid, pancreas and such common afflictions as high and low blood sugars).
6. Digestive system.
Kathleen is a certified Physician’s Assistant, graduating with honors from the Hahnemann Medical University in Philadelphia. She is now working at La Dama Maya herb farm in Luray, as well as with Dr. Susan Zimmer, D.C., in Marshall.
