I had the opportunity to work in the traditional medical field as an Emergency Medical Technician and Registered Nurse for twelve years. I really enjoyed the obstetrics and emergency room medicine, but was continually bothered by the almost epidemic amounts of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, MS, etc. in our small “healthy” rural community. It did not take long to figure out that the constant pill pushing and surgeries would have been relatively easy to decrease with some major lifestyle changes.

        Health Essentials was created after my acupuncture training took me away from the rural hospital setting. A friend and I felt that it was important to bring a relaxing, educational and beneficial alternative to the traditional medical options that were available in Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas. We also saw a huge need for quality organic foods and high quality vitamin supplements. With this vision in mind, Health Essentials was born.

       "Our goal is to Empower you through good health." We have been blessed with extremely talented healing practioners and knowledgeable staff which enables our clinic to offer a huge variety of services and products to our community.

        As a Registered Nurse in a small community, I have had the pleasure of continuing to work with our local physicians and am very pleased with the referrals and support that we are able to provide our community, joining the traditional with the holistic health care that is available.

        Health Essentials offers a wide range of services, and mine include Japanese Meridian Style Acupuncture, Reiki, Live Blood Analysis, NAET allergy treatment, Raindrop Essential Oil Therapy and Kinesiology. Most people who are new to Holistic Health Care usually come in with a complaint of pain or other Disease symptom. Although we are very much able to help people regain their health or relieve their pain, our goal is to maintain health and prevent Dis-Ease and pain to start with.

       Acupuncture uses needles or electrical stimulation to balance the body’s electromagnetic energy. This is an effective wellness program, and by keeping the body’s energy balanced, it helps to maintain good health. It is also very effective for pain management, allergy treatment, internal disorders and many other problems that you may have.

        Reiki is a universal healing energy that is drawn through the practioner’s body through the hands and into the client to promote emotional as well as physical healing. It is an extremely relaxing and healing process.

        Raindrop Therapy is a technique that layers 9 essential oils onto the spine with gentle strokes, also using warm moist packs and foot massage. Raindrop therapy is an effective detoxifying process as well as providing pain relief for back pain and provides many other healing benefits.

      Live Blood Analysis is useful for determining the presence of leaky gut syndrome, toxic bowel, organ stress, parasites, etc. This procedure allows the client to actually visualize the health or Dis-Ease process of the blood cells as well as the presence of many other toxins in the blood. This is very beneficial to determine nutritional status as well as determining supplement use. This process is a valuable tool in reducing the effects of esophageal reflux, indigestion and constipation.

      We encourage our clients to utilize the Energy Balancing Footbath for detoxification and balancing as well as the Ceregem Table which utilizes acupressure, jade therapy, light therapy and heat for spinal alignment and pain relief.

        We invite you to stop in and enjoy some herbal tea or a cup of our organic coffee as you visit and get to know us better.
