Hi! I'm Amy Galvan!
I believe our bodies tell us what we need to heal using the language of signs and symptoms. Our job is to listen and interpret that language correctly.
Some people are math and science nerds—but I am more of a communications and science nerd. I love the studies of languages and life so much that I earned multiple degrees in biology, health sciences, French language, and Chinese medicine. But I also have studied the peculiar language of biology which the human body uses to communicate with us—through signs and symptoms.
Let's Talk!
Learning to communicate with the body was crucial in helping me overcome my own crippling autoimmune disease after 10 years---without medication.
It’s why I studied Shen-Hammer Chinese pulse diagnosis for years (mentoring under Dr Leon Hammer himself). It’s why I am a voracious reader of mindbody medicine pioneers like Louise Hay, Deepak Chopra, Peter Levine, Andrew Weil, Randine Lewis, Gabor Mate, Bessel van der Kolk, and Leon Hammer. It’s how I overcame multiple sclerosis without medication when it was thought to be impossible---and started racing motocross instead! Going from MS to MX, I can tell you this. The body CAN heal, and it tells us EXACTLY what it needs. But before you can apply whatever science-based strategy you think is worth a try, you must FIRST learn to interpret what your body is trying to tell you.
Overcoming Failure Rates
Why is it that a treatment can work on one person but not on another?
I ask myself that question with every new patient. It's the backbone of my practice. The answer is because healing is more than looking up a solution to a health problem like you are looking up a recipe in a cookbook. The answer to your problem is not in a book, chart, research statistic, or crystal ball. Your answer is in your body. It talks to you through symptoms. To heal, you must not turn them off (or tune them out); you simply need to respond correctly.
What Patients Are Saying!
"Amy knows the medical model but offers what that system cannot provide."
"She uses the transformative power of healing. She literally brought me back from the ledge of hopelessness." ---Julia, Nurse Practitioner
"I'm always amazed at what she can tell me about my body without me even mentioning symptoms that I may be experiencing." ---Amanda Redinger, Mother of Two
"I was suffering tremendously in pain and inflammation from a rare autoimmune disease, I even was put on chemotherapy for this disease. Dr. Galvan not only stopped the pain, and reduced my inflammation but within 6 months, I was able to stop the chemotherapy that at the time was going to to be a life time treatment for the auto immune disease. Since then, she has kept my disease at bay, has kept my pain in check and I go see her regularly like clockwork. She is caring, compassionate but is adept at knowing the body and its needs."---Christa Arnold, PhD
