KarenMaras ND

As a Naturopath my approach is to promote wellness by assessing Mind/Body/Spirit, facilitating the healing process by identifying obstacle to health, and assisting each individual in exploring the underlying cause of Dis-ease; the goal being, to restore vital energy by creating balance and harmony within. My role as a Naturopath is to mentor each individual on lifestyle changes, promote self awareness of risk factors that impact their life, in an effort to restore and promote optimal health.

 

Dr. Karen Maras ND, RN has worked as a Health Care Professional for forty years. Her clinical experience encompasses a variety of specialties as a RN including Behavioral Health, Oncology, Hospice, Dialysis, as well as Medical Surgical nursing. Dr. Maras obtained a Masters degree in Counseling/Education in 1991 when she observed that patients in the traditional hospital setting were not healing and often became more debilitated from a symptoms approach of modern medicine and use of pharmaceuticals. She became more aware of the mind body connection in her practice as a psychotherapist and the impact emotions have on disease. Her approach has been eclectic with a emphasis on Gestalt and cognitive-behavioral therapy.In 2004 Dr. Maras received her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. A naturopathic holistic approach to the patient/client seemed to promote healing versus treatment and suppression of symptoms with pharmaceuticals.As a result of her experience as a Naturopath, she soon developed a passion for energetic Medicine. In 2005 she became certified as a Biofeedback Specialist, complimenting a Naturopathic Holisitc Integrative approach to the client using the Quantum Scio Biofeedback Device.
