Dee Slingerland

Dee graduated from Eleanor Roberts Institute of Dermatology, beginning her career in Holistic Esthetics. She opened Estique Beau Belle Skin & Body Spa, in 1991. Her passion for healing felt unfulfilled when only brushing the surface of deeper issues, she closed her salon in order to follow her heart. She attended The Center for Holistic Botanical Studies and earned her certificate in Aromatherapy. She then found her passion for alternative medicine at Sage Mountain Herbal Center where she became a certified Herbalist & Flower Essence Therapist.

Dee now holds certificates from American Council on Exercise, National Association of Sports Medicine, & National Academy of Sports Medicine Training where she became a Personal Trainer, Nutritionist, Weight Training Specialist & Life Coach.

More recently, Dee has become certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a certified Integrative Nutrition Therapist. Dee now uses her extensive knowledge of alternative health modalities to help others find the answers they seek. She offers nutrition consultations and holistic medicine solutions to address a wide range of health problems. Whole Health Therapist, Dee, will listen to all your health issues and use a holistic approach to delve deeper to the root of the issue rather than the symptoms. No situation of health is too complex or simple to benefit from the caring, individualized services provided by Dee at Heart Centered Wellness. She has special focuses on Celiac Disease, food sensitivities, gut health, pelvic integrative therapies, autoimmune diseases and promoting an overall healthier way of life.
