about dr. tammy sorenson besher

Dr. Tammy has built her practice in holistic healing arts for over the last 25 years around the embodiment of self. She guides her patients down their own path of healing using her personal experiences, education, hands on modalities, and her mind, heart, and body approach.  Dr. Tammy has been blessed with being able to create a new life where her numerous autoimmune conditions, chronic freeze state from sympathetic dominance, infertility, stress, pain, sleep disturbances, and fatigue did not stop her in believing in a future self that is healthy, whole, and free from her past. She has created health, two healthy and happy children, peace of mind, and a successful elimination of stress and pain.

​

She is a doctor of acupuncture and (Qi) energy medicine, a board certified Institute of Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP), board certified licensed acupuncturist, licensed massage therapist, energy worker, meditation specialist, certified yoga instructor, certified nutritional consultant, and clinical nutritionist. Her passion is for patients to attain an energetic balanced state of health and well being.

In her acupuncture, massage, yoga, and meditative modalities she optimizes her patients elevated state of healing through balancing energy (QI) frequencies.  With the knowledge from the patients stresses from fear, guilt, worry, control, anger, and ego, environment, pain, relationships, emotions from thoughts and feelings, past beliefs, and life choices, she is able to download a conscious awareness to an individualized treatment plan specific to each patient.  This information facilitates the intelligence from her trainings to create a balance of wholeness in the energy systems of her patients.  This allows the space for the reconditioning of the emotional, chemical, and physical environment of the patient. She fuses her treatments from a coherent centering of their heart, then moves onto the mind, body and spirit.

​

In her functional and nutritional medicine philosophies she will investigative patient-centered lifestyle techniques and factors, identify opportunistic environmental contributors, open the focus on past traumas to recondition the mind, body, and heart, and shed light on genetics and epigenetics to ascertain ways to gain metabolic, energetic, and nutritional optimization.

​

Each patient will be assessed for a different approach to treatment for wholeness to take place. She will work with her patients as a team to harmonize mind, body, and heart to change the genetic destiny.  Her research and patient demographic have demonstrated that 70-80% of the population is living under high stress aka "The Flight, Fight and Freeze Response".  When we are stressed the body becomes out of balance. This allows the over-thinking, analytical brain to control the energy and dysregulate the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). The ANS regulates the internal physiological processes we don’t consciously think about. When our bodies move into that program, the state of the heart, body, mind, and spirit do not have the energy to keep the body well and whole which in turn disregulates it and cause dis-ease.

​

She has complemented her two certified functional medicine training programs with her over twenty-five years of yoga, Tai-Chi and hands on massage and bodywork training, and more recently, her meditation specialization to harmonize the bodies energies systems and facilitate a synergistic healing approach to take place with her patients.

​

When Dr. Tammy practices functional medicine, she personalizes the medicine to explore the root cause of disease instead of treating symptoms. She has fused the biomedical model along with the body-mind connection to produce the most abundant healing benefits in her patients.  She uses functional medicine to help you find root cause solutions to the cause of your condition from nutritional, genetic, environmental, physiological, neurochemical and biochemical imbalances that may be making you feel unwell. 

​

Dr. Tammy will search for underlying triggers that are contributing to your disharmony through innovative testing, lifestyle modifications, epigenetics and neuroscience to customize the intervention to your specific needs as an individual.  Dr. Tammy then merges the information with physical, emotional and chemical environments of the patient to produce mind, heart and body coherence outcomes.

​

She may use nutrition, acupuncture, massage, yogic breath, mindfulness, meditation, energy balancing, movement, visualization, stress modulation, sleep efficiency, supplements, relationship evaluations and lifestyle changes to treat your disharmony but will seek the most nurturing way to help your body restore balance. She seeks to promote wellness and create personal worthiness in patients to feel whole, healthy, balanced and a joy for life.
