A Two-Fold Mission ~
-
To Serve Humanity Through Health Care Reform Knowing that Health Care Reform Begins with Self-care.
-
Provide Centralized Access to Highest Quality Precision Self-care Education and Support Services Led by Advanced Practice Nurses.
Vision for Education and Services S.O.S.~
At Golden Apple Healing Arts you will meet Advanced Practice Nurses, RNs, and nursing assistants, who specialize in integrative holistic health services, nurse-herbalism, and precision self-care to help you to restore balance in body and peace of mind by harnessing the amazing power within you to heal with plants as partners!
We use a salutogenesis-orientated solutions (S.O.S.) approach to precision self-care and nursing care services. We help children, youth, adults, families, organizations, and communities find meaning in tough life challenges as they apply accessible, affordable, simple, health solutions to concerns in body, mind, emotion, and spirit that are supported by enduring traditional and scientific knowledge.
The foundation for salutogenesis-oriented solutions in healthcare is pattern science. We are known for our "energetics first" precision pattern science approach to self-care and health care rooted in the ancient science called "8 Principle Patterns." And this is a science and health practice that everyone can learn! We offer health consultations, education and training services, books, webinars, as well as libraries where you can find hundreds of health resources from ancient traditions to emerging knowledge of the convergence of spirituality and science in the healing arts.

A Unique Plant Perspective
Plants are a vital part of the healing practices of the peoples of the world.
They are a part of modern bio-medicine and ancient healing traditions.
Our unique plant perspective is rooted in the:
-
translation of hundreds of clinical trials,
-
incorporation of biomedical research of plant constituents,
-
integration of years of historical evidence from healing traditions,
-
application of holistic botanical healing techniques
-
advancing knowledge gained from direct participation in plant-human partnerships.
Wise people of many cultures have prophesied that the 21st century would be a time when people would find greater ways to integrate traditions and emerging science.
The mission of the Choreosophy Institute is to lead the integration process through education.
Advancing An Ancient Healing Tradition
Dr. Martha Libster in EGYPT 2023 pointing to the 6th dynasty hieroglyph showing the practice of Foot Reflexology at the entrance of the Tomb of Ankhm'ahor in Saqqara (the physician's tomb). Below is an artist rendering of the hieroglyph that "reads" "do not let it hurt."
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Attributed to St. Francis of Assisi and Reinhold Niebuhr (1892 - 1971)
