People understandably ask me "what do you do?" What they are asking is "How can you help me? How will you help me? And why should I come see you instead of some other practitioner"

My first answer to this is that the most essential thing I can do is, paradoxically, not something I do, but how I think about your health. That is, my philosophy and approach to you and your health are more important than any technique or herb or supplement or modality or test or technology that I (or anyone else can offer you.)

I encourage you to read, or re-read, my home page for a little more on this subject.

If you'd like to discuss the difference between the usual technique-based practice, and my diagnosis-based practice, please contact me!

I have over 15 years of experience treating patients using diet and nutrition, herbal and nutritional supplements, classical homeopathy, naturopathic hydrotherapy, the Buteyko Breathing Method, Naturopathic Lifestyle Counselling, Amino Acid Neurotransmitter Repletion, Natural Hormone Balancing, Natural Thyroid Balancing, Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs, the Bowen Technique, and a variety of other healing methods. My conclusion from all that experience is that the most important factor in a patients' healing is not to find the correct technique, method, or supplement so much as that the doctor treat the patient rather than the disease; that the patient be truly committed to the healing process and understand that there will often be a period of trial and error; and that the patient be aware of attitudinal / mental / emotional factors that can help or hinder healing.

Further, it is rare that any condition can be successfully, and deeply, addressed (by any modality or technique ) without making sure that a person's diet is correct for them, as an individual. It is also crucial that the treatment be directed to the CAUSE of the condition rather to the symptoms alone. In my experience, dietary changes and classical homeopathy are the most likely to be able to treat root causes of a condition. Nutritional and herbal supplementation, acupuncture, and other modalities usually do more to assist the healing process than they do to treat the cause of the problem.

You can find a list of conditions I have successfully treated here. In theory, there are no incurable diseases. However, each patient is different and may require vastly different solutions to what appears to be the exact same problem.

The techniques or methods that I will use to help you heal will only be decided after I meet with you and feel that I thoroughly understand your condition. To read more about some of the therapies Dr. Heller uses in his practice, click here

I look forward to meeting with you. As always, I am happy to allow you a brief complementary consult so you can decide if this is the right path for you.
