Dr. Kefalos embodies a unique combination of conventional medical knowledge and holistic wisdom and is skilled at blending them in a practical individualized approach. Dr K uses functional medicine approaches to get to the underlying cause of illness. She looks at the whole person, not just their symptoms incorporating lifestyle advice and nutritional awareness. She also incorporates specific Mind-Body Medicine techniques (meditation, Qigong, etc). Kinesiology (also known as energy testing or muscle testing) is a favored modality to help assess energy flows in and around the body. Dr K finds Nutrition Response Testing, TM Morphogenic Field Technique SM and Eden Energy Medicine very useful tools.
