Terrain Body Balance
In listening to the body's signals, we can orient to what is present - not to fix or push, but to restore grounding and coherence from the inside.
Your body is a vessel for generative energy.
Mineral foundation for nervous system health, hormone and cellular energy.
Sound sessions to relieve stress, relax into the ground of your being, and feel clearer from within.
Hi, I'm Kim!
I'm here to collaborate with you in your reclamation of intrinsic health!
Our bodies are energetic systems designed to generate life and detoxify. Symptoms are our body's way of saying it doesn't have enough cellular energy to be generative and detoxify. By tuning in with tools that see the body as a whole system we can begin to understand the language of imbalance—and offer the support our bodies need.
As we restore the mineral terrain in the body (spark plugs of energy), remove interference with gentle detox and release tension, our body begins to ground into its innate design.
I offer mineral balancing and sound therapy to bring more clarity and resiliency to our embodied experience.
Let's rebuild this bio-energetic terrain together, I'd be honored to be your guide!
An Invitation
When we give the body the nutrients for cellular energy, honor it's wisdom and pace, listen for what we need to nourish our whole self, we can trust that the body knows how to regenerate and be a clear vessel for our soul.
I invite you to develop a deeper trust in your body—to cultivate a genuine, intuitive confidence in its remarkable capacity to heal. Healing is not the exception; it is the body’s natural state.
The body is continually communicating with us. What we often interpret as symptoms or problems are, in many cases, meaningful signals intended to guide us. When we respond with attentiveness and provide the support it is requesting, the body, in most cases, inherently knows how to restore balance and thrive.
I am a mother of five almost grown children, Spanish teacher, married to a songwriter, and a mineral balancing practitioner. I am passionate about restoring healthy embodiment so that living the life we desire can flow from a place of grounded energy and vitality. I know what it's like to struggle with a body that is too tired to lift itself into the life I want to have, give and be. I have had seasons of difficulty, and as I chose to orient my compass with self care and curiosity, I found within a spaciousness and perspective emerge that gave me strength and grounding to face the storms of life. The goal isn't to live a life without stress, but to build up our biological resilience so we can adapt and navigate the stressors that come our way. As I began giving my body what it needed (minerals, nutrients, light, rest, detox) energy began to flow more abundantly and I became more present to my life in whatever season I found myself in.
With deep gratitude for this journey, I'd be honored to support and guide you, to ground into ROOTED RESONANCE within your body one mineral at a time.
A healthy person is an adaptable person
The concept of being healthy is not defined by the absence of symptoms or disease, it simply refers to the ability to grow and deal with stress.
Energy in the cells
Mineral Nutritional Balancing is an elegant and powerful approach to heal at deep levels and restore the body’s natural energy using the foundational elements we’re made of: minerals. Through the tool of a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) we interpret the body's bio individual patterns that can affect energy, resilience, mood, sleep, hormones, brain, skin, digestion, and overall vitality.
By using HTMA we know exactly what minerals and nutrients are needed to restore ideal levels and ratios, supporting:
Grounded energy and mental clarity
Hormonal harmony
Adrenal and thyroid health
Emotional resilience and clarity
Detoxification of heavy metals
Unwinding stress held in the biology
Minerals are the principal energy-producing components of the body, and they cannot be made in the body, we must consume them. Once you know and provide the EXACT NUTRIENTS your WHOLE body needs in the EXACT COMBINATIONS to properly balance your BODY CHEMISTRY, your body starts to have energy again to rebuild and detoxify! Toxic metals and chemicals are removed naturally and safely, organs repair, cells can make more energy and symptoms start disappearing.
The patterns of minerals that show up in a Hair test sample reveal what state of stress the body is in and Mineral Nutritional Balancing science reveals how to respond with the exact minerals and nutrients the body needs so it can have energy to heal, detoxify and reduce interference at the foundational level.
HTMA uses a small hair sample to get up to 3 months of information on the status of your mineral levels, ratios and heavy metal toxicity which gives us insight into what is throwing the body off-balance.
The hair is the ideal testing mechanism because it shows a cumulative pattern of health information that is safe and non-invasive in nature.
Your body was born with all of the necessary programming to thrive. It just needs the correct nutrients in the proper combination so that your cells can get to work repairing and regenerating.
Minerals are the basic spark plugs in the chemistry of life, on which the exchanges of energy in the combustion of food and the building of living tissues depend." Dr. Henry Schroeder
Minerals are the foundations to cellular health, they activate enzymes that kick off all of the chemical processes in the body.
Mineral Matrix: the science of relationships in the body
One of the most important aspects of mineral balancing is that of Ionic mimicry. When minerals are lacking in the body, it will use heavy metals instead. Lead to build bones, instead of calcium. Cadmium instead of zinc to build arteries. When we give the body therapeutic levels in the right amount of minerals, the body releases heavy metals knowing it has preferred minerals to use instead. This creates a gentle detox that removes the interference of heavy metals in the body. Mineral Balancing is rebuilding and detoxifying the body at the same time!
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis as our map to embodied resilience
What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?
A hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is an advanced screening test that measures the levels of both essential minerals, those which are necessary for vital body functions and toxic metals which by their very nature are detrimental to ones health and well-being. A hair Tissue Mineral analysis is a non-invasive biopsy that provides a mineral blueprint of one's body chemistry which then can be used to develop highly individualized nutritional supplement protocols, dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
What can you learn from an HTMA test?
Metabolic rate
Stage of stress and stress levels
Immune system
Adrenal and thyroid glandular activity at a cellular level
carbohydrate tolerance
energy levels
eating enough protein or too much carbohydrates
tendencies for 30+ illnesses often before they manifest
Personality tendencies
Articles on Symptoms and their mineral imbalances
Many symptoms emerge from mineral imbalances and heavy metal interference, below is a link to articles listed by symptom.
Why test for minerals?
Minerals are the "spark plugs" of life and are essential for optimal health, healing and overall well-being. Minerals are involved in almost all enzymes reactions within the body and without enzyme activity, life ceases to exist. Mineral deficiencies, excesses and imbalances are directly responsible for adrenal and thyroid activity, blood sugar regulation, digestive health, heavy metal detoxification and much more.
Can Mineral Balancing help with stress and emotional issues?
Yes! Mineral Balancing can support emotional health by correcting mineral imbalances that affect mood and cognitive function, potentially reducing stress and promoting mental clarity. What we often call a "personality "is often a mineral pattern frozen in time.
Personality patterns may be mineral patterns and can influence:
Reactivity and emotional intensity
Buffering and stress tolerance
Energy pacing and burnout risk
Sensory sensitivity and overwhelm
When minerals return and are balanced people often say:
I feel calmer without trying.
I feel grounded and adaptable.
I feel like myself, more present to the moment I am in.
A window into the cells
Nutritional physiology, how living things function, takes place at the cellular level. What you eat is not as important as what is actually reaching your cells. Providing a "window into the cells", a hair tissue mineral analysis is unique in that it provides a mineral blueprint of one's body chemistry, including pertinent information about one's oxidation (metabolic) rate, energy levels and stages of stress.
Determining Oxidation (metabolic) Rates
Oxidation is an indicator of the rate of how the body releases energy from foods one consumes. A slow Oxidizer releases energy too slowly to maintain adequate health. The slow Oxidizer has under-active or exhausted thyroid and adrenal glands. The major energy producing glands must be stimulated through proper diet and supplements to restore them to normal function. A fast Oxidizer releases energy too quickly to maintain adequate health and is characterized by overactive or excessive activity of the adrenal and thyroid glands. And because of their over-activity, these energy producing glands become insufficient. The fast oxidizer's diet and supplemental needs significantly different from that of the slow oxidizer. The balancing of these energy centers and bringing balance to the oxidation rate, to slightly slow or slightly fast is the goal of mineral balancing, for his is when the body is functioning in a sustainable and steady way.
Can children benefit from Mineral Balancing?
Yes, Mineral Balancing can be safely and effectively used with children to support their health and well-being. I am passionate about giving this generation the bio-energetic support they need to prevent future imbalances and help them thrive throughout all the stages of growth when nutrients are needed for so many developmental needs.
Stress and Energy
Stress is more than just a word. Stress is a modern theory of health and disease and is defined as a response of one's body to any number or factors referred to as "stressors". The response to stress comes in three stages: alarm, resistance and exhaustion. Hair Tissue mineral analysis can be used to identify these stages of stress. Each stage of stress represents a lower energy state. One of the main goals of using hair tissue mineral analysis and nutritional balancing is to move one's body from a lower energy state and less healthful stage of stress to a more healthful state of stress resulting in more energy. It often mirrors how one really feels beneath all the force we power through life with and can be a validation and invitation to slow down, rest, rebuild and in time regain the energy from a grounded, powered and embodied source.
Common conditions associated with Mineral imbalances and heavy metal toxicity
Common conditions associated with Mineral imbalances:
allergies
anxiety
cardiovascular disease
depression
diabetes
digestive disorders
fatigue
hormone imbalances
hyperactivity
hypertension
learning difficulties
migraine headaches
Common causes of mineral imbalances:
improper diet such as excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars
consuming vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements that are not compatible with your current body chemistry
copper pipes, lead paint, gas fumes
medications, birth control pills
stress
accumulation of environmental toxic metals
inheritance of mineral levels and pattern from parents.
How do Mineral Imbalances affect my body? Energy!
Mineral imbalances can disrupt cellular functions, hormone regulation, and nervous system activity, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and weakened immunity.
Adequate energy levels are essential for optimal health. The body is an energy producing machine and energy is required for all bodily functions and the regeneration (healing) of all body tissues. When one's energy production decreases, all body functions are affected often resulting with fatigue. Fatigue is one of the most common complaints reported in doctor's offices today. What most people don't realize is that fatigue is not just an isolated symptom that should be treated like other illnesses. Fatigue is indeed a basic energy imbalance in the body and can be due to glandular imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, stress or toxins. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis can be used to assess the efficiency of one's energy system and to recommend nutrients and foods that will assist in restoring the energy system.
