Stress is baked into American society. Jennifer Gale, owner of The Urban Naturopath in Mount Clemens, believes that even though we are not typically being chased by a bear, daily stress is causing fight or flight responses in our bodies in many ways.
A Classical Naturopath and Holistic Practitioner, Jennifer offers clients healing through naturopathic modalities such as reflexology, nutritional and herbal consults, color and light therapy, and chakra work. Along with Laura Franco, a Somatic Practitioner, and Hamisi Lee, a talented rhythmic drummer with a wealth of knowledge of African drumming, the staff of The Urban Naturopath serves the community by providing a fusion of ancient healing methods with modern ones. Says Jennifer, “I found a balanced middle path that matched my temperament and the true reality of healing. And that reality is pretty simple—there is never just one magic bullet or modality that provides us a return to health.”
When it comes to relieving stress, Jennifer offers some places to start. Meditation, warm foot baths, smelling essential oils, reflexology, or a walk in nature can all help to soothe the soul. For those wishing to delve deeper, Jennifer suggests starting with a non-invasive, painless NES BioEnergetic scan and consult, or a general health consultation at her practice.
In either case, Jennifer stresses that health work is slow and requires patience and time, but the results are worth the effort. Find out more at urbannaturopath.com.
