Philosophy

"Whole Health Wellness" is a concept that embraces the art of living well. This is the basis of Dr. Fleming's evolving work and techniques. The philosophy of his work is grounded in the model that the body has a natural ability to heal itself when it is free from blocks or interference. This fits with the vitalistic model, one of the two models of the health care field. The other model is allopathic (medical) model: also called the mechanistic model. For a good overview of "what heals" the body and the vitalistic and mechanistic model, click here. Dr. Fleming's work takes the perspective that the body can heal itself when the right thing is done at the right time. He combines a number of different natural therapies such as chiropractic adjustments, homeopathy, nutrition, meridian therapy, exercise programs, and lifestyle management to identify and resolve the causes of an individual's health concerns.

Personal Interests

He enjoys all sorts of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, swimming, and caving. His love for music and his drive to learn and grow in the spiritual and healing arts is a strong passion behind his work and personal life.
