Hello everyone, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ari Hoekstra and I have been in the natural health field extensively for the last 6 years. My journey has been long winded and volatile for the last 8 years that I have been taking all forms of schooling. From community college, additional certifications, massage therapy schools and naturopathic medicine. In some capacity, I know that I was born for making a difference not only in my local community but within the realm of natural medicine. It just took me a while to step into it. I currently serve as a practitioner at Hope Wellness Center of The Great Lakes. I have three more years left until I am a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and this page will serve as my reference for you with friends, family, spouses etc.
I share this not as an accolade for myself but to cement in your mind how I view the practice that I operate in. There are many philosophies that I live by such as "do no harm" from the Hippocratic Oath. My most important that I share with every prospective client, friend or anyone who wants to understand Naturopathic medicine however, is that "our bodies were created by intelligent design that knew for us to optimally function, we require three things, a proper level of hydrogen, oxygen, and correct supplementation because we are self-replicating organisms and our body knows what we need best." The other strong philosophy that I live by wholeheartedly is that "no disease is able to originate within the body, unless there is a negative emotion present."
At the end of the day you are responsible for doing the work and getting healthy with the proper guidance. All I do is give you a little boost! As a licensed massage therapist, I also have worked with clients who struggled with PT work, dealt with inflammation acutely, struggled with emotional health and aided in relieving nerve damage or a lack thereof.
I appreciate your time reading this brief overview of past testimonials and what you can expect in the future. If you have ever wanted to "dip your foot" in the waters of natural health, this is a safe place to do it. There are no right or wrong answers when everyone is learning and I know that this will serve as an informational page to those who desire in making this a lifestyle.
