I am a Certified Clinical Herbalist and Nutritional Consultant with over 200 clinical hours logged since 2006.  I received my education at the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism in Boulder, CO.  Here, I participated in over 1,100 hours of education in Herbal Materia Medica, Safety, Therapeutics, Nutrition, and Flower Essence Therapy, as well as competing an 8-month clinical internship in a sliding scale clinic.  I believe that everyone should have access to alternative holistic health care and I operate on a sliding-scale basis, including trades for goods and services.
I am a practicing Vitalist, meaning I am devoted to supporting the body's natural processes with herbs, nutrition, lifestyle, flower essences, and other tools.   My main areas of expertise are working with food allergies including candida issues and celiac disease, helping people with Syndrome X including diabetes and obesity, and women's issues especially hormone balancing and related disorders including endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and painful or dysfunctional cycles.  In my opinion, digestion is the root of health, and helping people to find the foods that work specifically for their body is my goal as a Vitalist.  I believe fully in the ability of the human body to come back into balance when given the correct tools, and by removing the root causes of dis-ease.  256-5205, amyszko23@gmail.com, www.sacredearthherbals.com

Dorje uses an eclectic array of energy healing modalities— such as The Journey, Western Herbalism, and plant spirit medicine—to tailor her sessions to her clients. These different approaches all come together through Dorje’s Intuitive Energy Healing. As a result she is able to see the overall picture, and the root of the issue that other singular modalities may miss.

Herbal healing is as old as human history.  Humans have used plants as medicine throughout all cultures and times.  Dorje has had extensive education and experience using herbal medicine. Dorje will compile a complete health history and access the client's particular needs so that the herbal remedies suggested are fine-tuned to return wholeness in a gentle and natural way.  She also works with Plant Spirit Medicine and Flower Essences.

Journeywork is an incredibly powerful, yet simple process.  In this guided meditation and visualization process, you will uncover buried emotions and memories that are the basis for any long-standing physical or emotional issues.  Once these memories have been uncovered they can be worked on, resolved and released, allowing the body to start healing naturally at a cellular level.  
This technique pioneered by Brandon Bays and outlined in her bestseller "The Journey”, is now internationally recognized as one of the most powerful and transformative healing tools available today.  Dorje is an accredited Journey practitioner, having guided hundreds of people through this process.
