What is Mineral Balancing?
Mineral balancing uses hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) a non-invasive biopsy (hair sample) that shows the levels of minerals and metals being excreted into the hair, as well at the interrelationships between minerals and nutrients in the body to improve metabolic function and overall wellness.
These levels offer insights into our energy levels, adrenal + thyroid health, blood sugar tolerance, overall vitality, metabolic rate, and how well (or not) the body can create energy and eliminate toxins.
It is these processes that are key to optimal health, and through this analysis we are able to create personalized plans to address imbalances using bio individual approaches to nutrition, supplements, detoxification, psychosomatic process work, relationship, and lifestyle adjustments.

Minerals are the building blocks of life and the cornerstone of our vitality, yet are deeply impacted by modern stresses and toxins. These essential elements, like Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc + more are what allow the body to function as designed.
A well mineralized body has robust energy, adaptability, a clear sense of self and other, the ability to feel and express deeply, less susceptibility to disease, etc., all while doing the job of managing hormones, detox pathways, metabolism and psychospiritual health optimally.
Through balancing our minerals, we increase our cell’s ability to create energy and remove toxins, which impacts not only our physical health, but also our nervous system, emotions, personality and our ability to achieve success, happiness and peace. We can have and practice truly healthy boundaries when we have enough Calcium. We can digest life (and food) most robustly when have enough Zinc to support a strong metabolic rate and digestive system. We can have an adaptive and well regulated nervous system when we feed it well and provide it with the nourishment it needs. Our personalities may express differently and our lives more easeful when we are free of heavy metals like Lead, Cadmium and Mercury.
We can actually FEEL more deeply and honor the body’s true pace as we nourish ourselves deeply, remineralize and naturally release these toxins. We are able to recover from burnout, lack of nourishment, exposure to toxins + stressors and move toward more embodied, sustainable physical resiliency and vitality that then creates the space for us to release old patterns and step into the most authentic expression of ourselves.

This is healing on a cellular level.
“Minerals are the principal energy-producing components of the human body. It is the relationships between the minerals in your tissues that help determine your physical and emotional destiny. Through an understanding and control of these basic laws of human energy, you can vastly increase the intensity and quality of your life.”
— Dr Paul C. Eck
