Im Tom Mondell; I have a varied background in fields such as advertising, marketing, and radio. A long-time personal concern with health, nutrition, and natural therapies led me to pursue certification as a Health Professional in Herbal Medicine. I feel strongly that, while conventional medicine has many successes and strengths, it also lacks aspects which other therapies address, such as Herbal Medicine. These therapies have helped human beings for thousands of years, and in their contemporary form, continue to offer strong health benefits alongside, and sometimes ahead of, conventional practices. Thus I have earned a Master Herbalist Diploma from American College of Health Sciences.In my practice, as a Clinical Master Herbalist, I counsel that the first principle of good health means, observing the fundamentals of healthy living as a basis. These we have all heard hundreds of times-proper diet, fresh clean water, sunlight, exercise, and rest. Perhaps most important, good nutrition is absolutely fundamental to good health. If we do not have healthy diets-we will be unhealthy, now or in the future! So an important part of how I help people is to provide individual nutritional counseling. The proper herbs, properly identified, can be extremely effective in helping people re-balance their health in all three major areas, the physical, mental/emotional and spiritual.
