The heart of natural medicine is to embrace whole health and discover the root cause of dysfunction and disease. Disease is simply disconnection. Natural medicine is not only a different way to approach health, it is a journey. A journey of who you are, where you’ve been, and most importantly, where you want to go, and who you want to be. It’s not about naming disease and looking for what’s wrong. It’s about honoring what is in alignment and upgrading into new ways of being. It is about allowing the innate ability of the body to heal. Natural Medicine is learning how to integrate energy and nature to root, release, remember and reconnect cultivating a beautiful life.

Natural medicine utilizes herbalism, nutrition, nature cure, physical medicine, homeopathy, mind-body medicine, and pharmacology with a systems-based approach to root cause healthcare.

Clinical neuroscience or functional neurology is a methodical and integrative approach to treating disease and dysfunction of the nervous system. The brain and nervous system work together as a whole, not individually. Your brain is the master control. Everything that happens in your body is controlled by your brain. Every process that occurs in your body impacts the brain. The power of clinical neuroscience utilizes this bidirectional communication highway to create change. Neuroplasticity is the nervous system’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new connections between neurons throughout life. This is the mechanism by which functional neurology works. Neurological rehabilitation addresses eye movements, vestibular function, cognitive function, autonomic function, proprioception, reflex integration, balance and coordination function. The networks and specific areas of the brain are mapped out, and an individualized treatment plan is created.

Eye movements: Involved in every area of the brain to aid in vision and visual perception. They require proper position and movement to allow the eyes to focus and see the world.

Vestibular Function: The inner ear processes movement and communicates with the rest of the brain. The vestibular nuclei within the brainstem when balanced prevent dizziness and vertigo.

Cognitive Function: The ability to think and act is located within the frontal lobe. Imbalance can lead to brain fog, lack of endurance, anxiety and depression.

Autonomic Function: The autonomic nervous system is regulated by the hypothalamus and brainstem to allow mainly unconscious functions including heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate and pupillary response. Imbalance can lead to anxiety, gut issues, brain fog and fatigue.

Proprioception: Proprioception is the sense of movement and body position in space. This allows voluntary movements including posture, balance, and coordination.

Reflex Integration: Primitive reflexes allow survival and protection through early development and then these reflexes integrate. If reflexes are retained they impair proper brain development and growth leading to issues in cognition, emotional regulation and physical development.

Balance & Coordination:  A highly integrated system to know where the head and body is in space. Vision, vestibular and proprioceptive function all communicate to provide balance and coordination of thought and movement.

Are magic mushrooms legal? Yes, right now Oregon is the first state to offer psilocybin facilitation sessions through a licensed facilitator.

Psilocybin facilitation has been approved in the state of Oregon as of 2022 and is the first state to introduce psilocybin as a well-researched and groundbreaking way to treat mental and emotional health among other health conditions. As part of the first cohort to graduate, Dr. Prill is elated to add this therapy to her repertoire of healing processes and has witnessed the profound effects sacred plant medicine offers.

Dr. Prill received her certificate in craniosacral therapy to offer a gentle approach to releasing stress, trauma and adhesions within the brain and body. Craniosacral therapy seeks to restore the natural rhythmic movement found between the bones of the skull. It does the same for the movements of the sacrum. Memories and emotions are held within the fascia and cerebrospinal fluid, and this gentle therapy offers supportive ways to move through emotions. It also aids the circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid throughout the central nervous system. It often creates a relaxed and nourishing effect.

Laser and light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation and photoneuromodulation, is proven to be a safe and extremely effective modality to increase healing and recovery time for most ailments. Light therapy delivers energy to your cells so they can do their job more efficiently, whether it’s healing or producing neurotransmitters. Dr. Prill uses low-level laser therapy to guide innate healing, reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the areas most needed.

Energy and emotional health are at the root of physical ailments. In a culture that praises patriarchy and capitalism…mental, emotional and energetic health have been deeply impacted. Yet, conventional medicine continues to treat physical symptoms in isolation. Scientific research conveys that your last seven generations of ancestors’ experiences are imprinted in your DNA.
