Biography:  Nancy Stefan Long, ND/CNHP

Background

My background stems from a family dynamic and work experience entrenched with both an interest in the medical profession and a holistic approach.  I have nursing experience working in a doctor's office. Later, as a Pharmacist Assistant in OTC and merchandiser for Vicks Richardson and then in a hospital as a Ward Assistant. Finally, I became a teacher of Callinetics a system of body, mind, isometric-health fitness.  My experiences have always been in the healthcare industry from nursing, pharmaceuticals, OTC, hospitals,  fitness and natural food and supplements. 

North Carolina is where my experience began to flourish with my interests in holistic healing where I pursued a Diploma in Naturopathy.  Since 1995, I've lived in NC and during this time I've worked at General Nutrition Centers (GNC).  I began my pursuit of healing 30 years ago and have bridged my traditional medical background with natural holistic education and experience.  I've incorporated several healing modalities which include magnetic therapy, Reiki energy work, light-touch body-work and body chemistry balancing.  This is my life's path to help people find their path to healing their body, mind and spirit.  I bring to you the opportunity to explore the powerful, simple God-given healing therapies to assist you to becoming your own Pillar of Strength!

Approach

Clinical, Supplemental Solutions and Traditional Usages

As a Doctor of Classical Naturopathy, I use natural means to help you obtain optimum health.  This is done before (preventative), during (analysis) and after (finding disease).  Striving to bridge the two approaches (traditional allopathic) and the (wellness industry), we discover and customize your personal possibilities for optimum health. 

Examine the areas of need due to your challenges in nutritional patterns, improper rest and hydration, stress management and underlying problems that lead to imbalances.  This will  help to prevent, protect and enhance your personal best.  The approach is to integrate natural philosophies and medical philosophies into your personal practice of the goal of becoming your own Pillar of Strength. 

How do we accomplish this integration?

1. Screen patients using a nutritional test devised by Reams Perfect Health Testing (pH or Perfect Health Analysis of Systemic Energy) of urine and saliva pH, sugar levels,  salt conductivity, albumen (cellular debris) and ureas (protein).

2. What goes in the body and how it's being utilized (this gives a picture of your assimilations of food and what's ingested).  We'll look at immune health solutions, detoxification, nutritional and vitamin therapy, energy medicine and bodywork therapy.

3. Examine lifestyle strategies customized to your individual requirements.

4. Finally, make recommendation on natural supplements tailored to your needs.

In summary, I integrate the most powerful healing modalities to facilitate the body's innate ability to heal itself all while recognizing the limitations of solely the medical or natural approach.  In essence, my goal is 'to make you the pillar of strength' that your body was designed to be -- and for you to live well and be healthy.
