Linda Lou McQuinn, DMH, EFT (Pract,), NLP (Pract.), treats acute or chronic physical health issues, anxiety and stress, emotional and mental health issues through Heilkunst, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) healing methods. Depending on the cause of the patient’s health issues, she may use a single therapy method or a combination to restore wellness. All of these treatment methods are effective, gentle, and non-invasive.

Heilkunst literally translates as Whole Art and was the term coined by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) to describe a new system of medicine/health care. Hahnemann was a keen scientist and observer and disagreed with many of the approaches he learned in medical school (still the base philosophy of today’s Western Allopathic Medicine). In Heilkunst, the health practitioner is asked to acknowledge that every aspect of a person’s life is involved in their health, so that treating a headache requires much more than a pill. Further, the healer must be a keen observer with an understanding of natural laws and scientific principles. Ideally, Heilkunst treatments are gentle, rapid, and lasting.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) was developed by Gary Craig as a combination of contemporary “talk” therapies and the principle of balancing the body’s energy flows and channels (found in Chinese medicine). Gary Craig describes it as “an emotional version of acupuncture.”

Allopathy is the traditional Western medical system that divides the body into a collection of individual organs and systems, each of which has its own specialist (podiatrist, neurologist, cardiologist, psychiatrist, etc.). Homeopathic Medicine is just one part of the diversity of the Heilkunst (Whole Art) medical system, founded almost 200 years ago by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, who observed that his patients responded best when he treated the whole person.

Allopathic Medicine is the term Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (founder of the Heilkunst system, of which homeopathy is a branch) coined some 200 years ago to refer to traditional Western Medicine. He believed that the emphasis on crisis medicine and painful cures was unnecessary. Rather than cut off a limb because of Diabetes, why not treat the patient through diet, exercise, counselling, and natural remedies that gently promote increased circulation and blood vessel elasticity, for example?

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) was developed over 30 years ago from the work of two scientists (John Grinder and Richard Bandler) who studied several top therapists to create a system of therapy based on the links between body, brain, and mind. NLP techniques develop an understanding of the reasons behind negative behaviours and, more importantly, offer highly effective methods to swiftly change these behaviours. NLP teaches competence, excellence, wisdom, and vision.
