Lifestyle Counseling
Lifestyle counseling includes counseling on diet, exercise, stress reduction and other safe, natural therapies. Whether you're more interested in prevention strategies or looking for a treatment program for a particular health condition, Dr. Stalla can help.
Whole Food Nutritional Therapy
The best sources of vitamins and minerals are found in whole foods and that is why Dr. Stalla believes in providing her patients with supplements that contain whole food ingredients. While she encourages her patients to eat fresh foods that are naturally high in nutrients—vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that help the body to thrive and maintain health, most patients will benefit from supplementing their diet to bridge this nutritional gap.
Carroll Food Intolerance Method
Included in every first office visit, this is an old naturopathic method of determining which foods do not digest or metabolize well in a particular digestive system, thereby contributing to toxemia. Toxemia contributes to inflammation in the body and inflammation is at the base of many disease processes. Toxemia is the product of maldigestion and dysbiotic processes in the intestines, creating toxic substances that enter the bloodstream and disturb tissue function.
Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA)
This is a simple, safe, natural method of analyzing the body's structural, metabolic, and nutritional needs. It is not a method for diagnosis. It is a means by which Dr. Stalla is able to use the body's reflexes to help identify underlying areas of imbalance.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a unique form of bodywork that bridges the realms of both physical palpation and energetic work. This form of therapy restores your body’s natural craniosacral rhythm by releasing myofascial restrictions and assists the hydraulic force of the cerebrospinal fluid to flow in sync between the cranium and sacrum. By pinpointing the source of obstruction or stress in the body, it’s possible to re-establish balance in a number of sensory, motor, or neurological disabilities. Common effects of this form of treatment include: an increase in physical vitality; psycho-emotional balance; a reduction in headaches; decrease in pain caused by the disease or treatments for the disease; relaxation and reduction in stress.
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral manipulation assists functional and structural imbalances throughout the body including musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive and lymphatic dysfunction. It evaluates and treats the dynamics of motion and suspension in relation to organs, membranes, fascia and ligaments. VM increases proprioceptive communication within the body, thereby revitalizing a person and relieving symptoms of pain, dysfunction, and poor posture.
Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy is an individualized system of medicine developed over 200 years ago and based upon the principle of similars—that a substance capable of producing a particular pattern of symptoms in a healthy person may, when prepared homeopathically, be selected for an individual experiencing a similar symptom picture. Rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis or isolated symptom, homeopathic prescribing considers the unique physical, mental, and emotional presentation of the individual in selecting the most appropriate remedy and potency.
Dr. Stalla incorporates homeopathy extensively within her naturopathic practice and may utilize individualized remedies as part of addressing both acute and chronic health concerns. Remedy selection is tailored to the individual and may be incorporated alongside nutritional, botanical, physical, and other naturopathic therapies as appropriate.
Cell Salt Therapy
Cell salt therapy is a subset of homeopathy. The 12 cell salts are thought to have both nutritive and homeopathic activity. They are known to enhance nutritional supplements and restore function instead of replace function.
Emotional Conflict Resolution Therapy
Emotional Conflict Resolution Therapy is an individualized approach to identifying and addressing unresolved emotional conflicts and energetic blockages. It evolved from Dr. Stalla's training and experience with Psychosomatic Energetics (PSE), a method developed by Dr. Reimar Banis that combines aspects of the mind, body, and subtle energy in addressing deeply held emotional conflicts.
Building upon this framework, Dr. Stalla has developed her own individualized approach that uses the emotional conflict identified through PSE to guide the selection of a single homeopathic remedy and the individualized potency or potencies specific to the patient. Rather than relying solely on the traditional PSE combination remedies, this approach allows treatment to be tailored to the individual's unique emotional pattern, with the goal of permanently resolving persistent emotional blockages and restoring greater emotional balance.
Essence Therapy
Essence therapy utilizes a diverse range of flower, gem, and other specialized essences to address mental and emotional factors that may contribute to illness and imbalance. Essence therapy has the ability to help normalize emotional and energetic disruptions, resolve inner conflicts, and support improvement in physical conditions in which mental and emotional factors may play a role. This gentle form of therapy can be particularly helpful when these conflicts affect our health, well-being, or ability to function fully in everyday life.
Dr. Stalla selects from an extensive range of essences to create highly individualized combination formulas based upon each patient's unique emotional, physical, and energetic picture. Essence therapy may be used independently or as a companion form of treatment to Homeopathy and other naturopathic therapies.
Infrared Sauna Therapy
Our infrared sauna provides far infrared radiant heat that penetrates deep into the body to gently elevate the body's core temperature, resulting in a series of physical and chemical changes in the body that are beneficial for human health. Full spectrum heaters that provide near infrared, mid infrared, and far infrared wavelengths are incorporated to assist in raising your core body temperature faster, aid in wound healing by increasing circulation to the affected areas, and help reduce overall inflammation.

Each session is individualized with prescribed chromotherapy, a personalized Solfeggio frequency sound therapy playlist, vibration resonance therapy and the optional halotherapy (salt therapy). All sessions are followed up by contrast cold towel application for added health benefits.
Chromotherapy Benefits:
-
Chromotherapy, or color light therapy, uses different colors of variable light spectrum to create a relaxing and individualized sensory experience. Different colors are traditionally associated with various physical, mental, emotional, and energetic effects.
Solfeggio Frequencies:
-
Solfeggio frequencies are a series of specific sound frequencies traditionally associated with relaxation, meditation, emotional well-being, and energetic balance. Personalized frequencies are incorporated into each session to provide an individualized sound therapy experience designed to support relaxation and harmony of the mind and body.
Vibration Resonance Therapy:
-
Vibration resonance therapy combines sound with gentle physical vibration to create a multisensory experience that promotes relaxation of the body and mind and supports an overall sense of well-being.
Halotherapy Benefits:

Hydrotherapy
In hydrotherapy, the environment of the body is changed by means of water at varying temperatures and applied by various mechanical means in the treatment of disease or trauma. Constitutional hydrotherapy can be particularly beneficial for patients with low immune status as just one hydrotherapy session can boost your white blood cell count by 10,000 cells on average within 2-8 hours. For years it's been used to support the body's natural detoxification process in relation to environmental exposures, chemical burdens, and the daily metabolic burden associated with diet and lifestyle. It can be used as an adjunctive treatment for a wide variety of conditions, including acute and chronic respiratory infections, sinusitis, asthma, PMS, psoriasis, irritable bowel syndrome, and many others.
Botanical Medicine
Also known as herbal medicine, botanical medicine is a system of medicine based on the use of plants or plant extracts that may be orally consumed or applied to the skin. It can be used to address a variety of conditions and assist bodily functions.
Gemmotherapy
Different from botanical medicine that uses parts of the mature plant, gemmotherapy makes extractions from the growing embryonic vegetal tissues such as young shoots, buds, and rootlets. It is more potent than the whole herbs and plants as these germinating parts contain plant growth hormones and actively developing tissues that have sometimes been compared to stem cells in humans. Gemmotherapy has a multi-level effect on the body and can be used in nearly all health conditions. It is considered a form of drainage therapy as it first detoxifies on the cellular level and then assists in waste removal through the organs of elimination.
Clinical Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a mind-body technique that helps people use their own bodily signals to elicit changes in autonomic physiological reactions. Conditions which often respond to biofeedback include: anxiety, ADD/ADHD, chronic pain, fatigue, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, migraine headaches, asthma, chronic insomnia, and more.
Cold Laser Therapy
Using the high-powered Class 3B LZ30-X low-level light laser, which provides both infrared and red wavelengths, treatment is designed to deliver therapeutic light (photobiomodulation) efficiently to the targeted tissues. The LZ30-X minimizes treatment time and maximizes results as clinical evidence demonstrates that increased power improves therapeutic outcomes within the class 3B range.
The main uses for cold laser therapy are tissue repair and relief from pain and inflammation. It can be effective for minor injuries and sprains, arthritis, chronic pain, skin rejuvenation, and hard-to-heal wounds.
Below are photos taken of an actual patient under Dr. Stalla's care using a series of cold laser therapy treatments to help address a non-healing skin ulcer of over 8 years.
