Heidi treats the underlying imbalances or dysfunctions and the root causes of the problem as opposed to just suppressing symptoms.
Heidi spends time with her patients, listening to their histories and evaluating the interactions among genetic, environmental, social and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease.
