While attending the Women’s Leadership Conference at ODU a couple of Saturdays ago, I had an opportunity to reconnect with Dr. Erica Steele, DNM ND who I’d meet a couple years ago. We started talking about wellness and healthy lifestyle of course, and having her as a guest writer for Naturally Glam. She invited me to stop by her office, Holistic Family Practice in Virginia Beach, VA, to learn more about what she does, what Holistic Family Practice has to offer the Hampton Roads community, and to experience a basic detox for myself.
My husband and I arrived at Holistic Family Practice and were immediately greeted by the office manager and given a tour of the office. She gave us an extensive overview of all the services provided there. At Holistic Family Practice, the focus is on prevention and maintenance, and how living a more natural, healthy lifestyle can benefit you in your overall health care plan. Next, we sat down with Dr. Steele to learn more about what she does as a Doctor of Natural Medicine. Natural Health Care is a system of natural medicine based on the healing power of nature. It is a holistic natural medicine system that strives to find the cause of disease by understanding the patient as a totality of body, mind, and spirit. What she offers is ‘concierge services’ catered to each individual and their specific needs. Seeing a doctor of natural medicine in addition to your primary care physician is a great way to improve your overall health.
I won’t steal Dr. Steele’s thunder by sharing all of the information she shared with Mr. Blakes and I. Just be on the look out from some guest posts from Dr. Steele here on Naturally Glam. But I will say that we talked so much that I couldn’t even finish the entire basic detox as planned! We did get to have the Ionic Foot Detoxification, which costs $45 at Holistic Family Practice. An ionic foot detox bath takes place in a foot tub capable of negatively charging ions, which attract toxins. Positive ions help assist the body’s natural detoxification process and help the body to detox more efficiently. When it was all done, we felt so relaxed, which is one of the effects that this type of detox claims to offer. What a difference in the water before and after, especially with Mr. Blakes *gasp*!
Holistic Family Practice offers many other detoxification services and programs, as well as wellness classes on site. To learn more about these services and classes, or to schedule an appointment to meet with Dr. Steele for a consultation, visit www.vabeachwellness.com. Even if you aren’t in Hampton Roads, feel free to contact Dr. Steele who can still answer your questions and refer you to a Naturopathic Doctor in your area.
Hi, I’m Jonna. Welcome to naturally-glam.com where I share how I balance my life as a mother, wife, and influencer.
This is such a great post! Thanks for sharing! I can’t wait to read what Dr. Steele shares, too. I just hope I can resist spending the rest of the afternoon researching that detox and all it has to offer. : )
I would like a consult regarding some medical issue I’m having. Could you please tell me how much a consultaton will cost.
You would need to contact Dr. Steele directly.
Dr. Steele, i am elated to find someone who is actually working in the field of Naturopathy. I know this is my calling. I would like to speak with you to see if you have volunteer or shadowing as a prerequisite for pursuing a degree. I hope that you can help me with this matter. I have exceptional computer and administrative skills and i am also pursing certification in Relaxation Therapy.
