“My Condensed Course in Wellness.

Five decades of teaching, distilled into one accessible course — natural, whole-person wellness in plain, practical language anyone can carry home and live out.

By Dr. Emily Grant DeCarlo · 2018

At its center is the body's own healing mechanism and its defense network — the immune system — woven together with the gifts of plants and essential oils and the care of mind, body and spirit. It is the heart of the Institute's teaching, and it was built to travel: into universities, schools, health agencies, churches and community rooms.

  • The body's natural healing mechanism & immune defense
  • Natural wellness — plants, essential oils & everyday habits
  • Whole-person care — mind, body & spirit, together
  • Condensed & accessible — built to be taught and shared

Books

Words that heal & teach.

From verse that soothes the soul to stories that build up the littlest hearts — each book is written to nurture the whole person. Two of these titles have been used at Virginia State University.
