Amy Scher – Healer

amy-scher-283x300My approach is the culmination of many years of figuring out what really works – and what doesn’t. I learned on my own healing adventure, there is much more to deep and complete healing than symptom relief. I look at what’s going on with the energy system, how unprocessed emotions might be affecting that, and help you become rebalanced. I have a knack for seeing things from a different angle and finding all the reasons you might not be letting go of that which you are desperately trying to recover from. I will be there for you every step of the way but I will always put you in charge of your own healing.

 

James Lovelock – Gaia Founder

lovelockJames Lovelock, originator of Gaia theory, inventor of the electron capture detector (which made possible the detection of CFCs and other atmospheric nano-pollutants) and of the microwave oven.

The study of planetary habitability is partly based upon extrapolation from knowledge of the Earth’s conditions, as the Earth is the only planet currently known to harbour life

The Gaia hypothesis, also known as Gaia theory or Gaia principle, proposes that organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a self-regulating, complex system that contributes to maintaining the conditions for life on the planet. Topics of interest include how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms affect the stability of global temperature, ocean salinity, oxygen in the atmosphere and other environmental variables that affect the habitability of Earth.

The hypothesis, which is named after the Greek goddess Gaia, was formulated by the scientist James Lovelock and co-developed by the microbiologist Lynn Margulis in the 1970s. While early versions of the hypothesis were criticized for being teleological and contradicting principles of natural selection, later refinements have resulted in ideas highlighted by the Gaia Hypothesis being used in subjects such as geophysiology, Earth system science, biogeochemistry, systems ecology, and climate science.2006, the Geological Society of London awarded Lovelock the Wollaston Medal largely for his work on the Gaia theory.
