About Innate Holistic Health
Your body was made to heal itself…
​
Our bodies are both amazing machines and beautiful works of art. There are thousands of miraculous functions occurring in our bodies all working together to achieve homeostasis or balance. Your autonomic nervous system is part of your innate intelligence and is always working on your behalf. This same system also knows exactly what your body needs if you are able to listen and interpret it’s signals. When your body displays symptoms, they are symptoms of an imbalance but not the actual problem. Rather than suppress or stimulate your body until the symptoms are relieved, we at Innate Holistic Health assist the body in its natural removal or repair of the dis-harmony.
​
The Quantum Field is in and around us all…
​
The science of Quantum Physics tells us that there is an energy field which flows around and through all things. The Chinese call this energy Qi or Chi (pronounced “Chee”). Like a magnet, the Chi creates a field which holds the cells of our body in alignment. By altering the Chi, one can alter the body. In muscle response testing with Morphogenic Field Technique we are using the body’s energy as a gauge to determine the level of response to a given substance or pressure.

The role of nutrition in health and healing…
​
Humans are meant to get all of their necessary nutrition from food. Perfect nutrition in the form of breast milk is what is given to a baby for it to form its organs, grow tissues, metabolize and develop neurologically. It is no different for an adult. For example, if you injure a muscle, your body requires whole food nutrition to repair it. Unfortunately, our modern diet has become so devoid of nutrition, it is very difficult for the body to get all of the necessary nutrition from diet alone. Poor or insufficient diets and environmental toxins create stress which are the root causes of many of our body’s symptoms. Our food supply has become dangerously toxic through over-processing, refining, denaturing, chemically spraying and genetically modifying it. As a result, most people are deficient in necessary nutrients to heal and be healthy. The goal is to get all our nutrients from whole, organic foods, but when it is not possible we must supplement with only high quality, all natural vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals and homeopathic remedies to achieve optimal health.

The role of muscle response testing in health and healing…
​
What is muscle response testing? Muscle testing is natural, holistic tool for optimal health based on the science of Applied Kinesiology developed by Dr. George Goodheart, DC. Applied Kinesiology is defined as “the science of energy balancing and is grounded in the study of anatomy and physiology. Kinesiology is a communication tool that uses muscles as monitors of stress and imbalance in the body. Kinesiology enables people to detect and correct various imbalances that may relate to stress, nutrition, learning problems, minor injuries and other issues they meet in their daily life.” (ICPKP Definition). Dr. Goodheart’s research along with the work of other pioneers in the field has lead to the refined approach used at Innate Holistic Health. This approach is called Morphogenic Field Technique (MFT) and was developed by Dr. Frank Springob. MFT is a gentle, non-invasive form of biofeedback used to communicate with the Quantum Field and the body’s Autonomic Nervous System to detect imbalances or dis-harmonies. By correcting these imbalances the body is able to reactivate its own healing ability. The practitioner uses pressure on an “indicator muscle” while testing points on the body or placing energies into the Field of the client. Muscle testing can detect and correct imbalances within the Field and the body. The process is totally unique to each individual and requires that the client be totally involved in their own healing process.
​
How does remote muscle response testing work?
We are all connected via a giant energy field. Within this energy field, time and space do not exist. Quantum physicists call our energetic connection "quantum entanglement". An advanced Muscle Response Testing Practitioner is able to test herself for the client via this instantaneous, energetic connection. The results are as profound remotely as they are in person.
​
How nutrition and muscle response testing work together…
​
When a practitioner performs muscle response testing the body is providing feedback to the practitioner through the client’s energy field and the indicator muscle used to receive the feedback. Based on the energies that the body is attracted to the practitioner can assess potential nutritional needs. The practitioner will illustrate to the client how the body reacts to the energies of nutritional supplements that match the imbalances within the body and the Field.
The Result:
When the Field is large and balanced, the body can heal!

About Shawna
I began my journey into health and wellness in 1997 at Pacific Lutheran University in the Physical Education and Health and Fitness Management Program. While at PLU I was given the Student Major of the Year Award and then was offered a Teaching Fellowship. During my time there I also obtained my Personal Trainer's Certification through the American Council on Exercise. Throughout the following years, I continued my pursuit of health and wellness by obtaining certification in Hatha Yoga. This is where my journey really got fun...
Yoga really was the catalyst that brought me to the practice I have today. It opened me up to the possibilities of healing through our body's own innate intelligence. While I loved teaching yoga, I always knew that there was something keeping me from being the healer I was meant to be. I then began to pursue other modalities such as Applied Kinesiology (Muscle Response Testing), Reiki, Reflexology, Emotional Freedom Technique and Energy Medicine. In those pursuits, the dots were finally connected for me. I realized that the missing piece was Nutrition. No amount of exercise, meditation or alternative modality can be effective without addressing Nutrition. When I combined Nutritional Therapy with Muscle Response Testing I felt like the skies opened up and I was given a gift. This combination has provided profound healing for me, my family and hundreds of clients. I now hold certifications in Nutritional Therapy, Morphogenic Field Technique, and Holistic Health.
​
Today, I feel so much gratitude to have found a way to harness all of my past experiences into a practice that digs deep into the root of health issues and produces results. I have struggled through autoimmune disease and gut health issues and have been healed by addressing those root causes. I am truly blessed to align others with their own powerful healing potential. I strive to always learn more and bring that knowledge to my clients.
