"The Witch Doctor"


Martha, as all of her clients refer to her, is a holistic nurse practitioner. A holistic practitioner treats a patient’s symptoms by looking outside of just the physical implications and looks at all aspects of the patient’s life and addresses the issues through all of these aspects if needed. The patient is treated as a “whole,” mind, body, and spirit. Martha Bray is a long time practitioner of holistic medicine; in fact her entire clinic is devoted to a holistic method of healing. Advanced Health Clinic is a place of absolute healing; the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. Martha herself reflects the same atmosphere she is laid back, friendly, and very approachable. She insists on a place of openness and understanding. The mantra of the clinic is, “Where there is an open heart and a willing mind, there is a path to healing.” This mantra leaves the healing process to the patient, while they are being treated in a variety of different ways. At the clinic there is an on hand nurse practitioner, massage therapist, chiropractor, counselor,  hypnotherapy expert, and full spa services that are all holistically based.


Martha attributes her drive in holistic healing to her own life experiences, when western medicine treatments and medications failed her and she was left upset with how the treatment had gone and how things could have gone differently. In an attempt to help prevent others from the same medical fate , she has completed extensive further education in the health fields. She has a list of prestigious certificates, awards, and other accolades that give her an edge most medical practitioners cannot claim to have. This edge allows her to treat many people, including those with cancer and allows them to divert from common western medicine practices. As Martha sees the incredible progress these alternative methods can achieve she is fueled to gain even more knowledge. She knows that new and evolving methods of health treatments, such as her most recent, magnetically induced cellular exercise treatment, are ever present and she is eager to implement these ideas into her practice. She likes to keep her treatments relevant and up to date. She is constantly traveling and visiting with other practitioners of all kinds. She prides herself on having the knowledge that is needed to bring a better quality of life to those who are seeking it.

Martha is personally invested in her patients and prides herself on knowing all that she is able about their conditions and what it is they are dealing with. Providing knowledge to them in an appropriate manner and in a way the patient will fully understand. She understands that there is no single way to gain complete health that as a physical being we need and strive for. For this reason, Martha encourages her patients to participate in the spa services they offer as each individual heals in a completely different way. Peace of mind helps those who are dealing with medical issues to come to grips with what it is they need to do in order to become well. Thus embracing the mantra that once they have embraced the fact they are dealing with an issue if they become aware and allow themselves to heal they will become healthy. In a way, Martha’s solution is self-healing, realizing that you will become better and striving for that. It’s a mindset that at Advanced Health Clinic everyone encourages.

Martha Bray is dedicated to what she does and is really passionate about the patients she treats. It is through her dedication and research that her patients have become healthy again. She has allowed many people to utilize an alternative method of treatment, one that is tailor made to their exact needs and is completely side effect free as it is a homeopathic medicinal regiment that is being prescribed. This alternative medicine is gaining favor with more and more people as well as western medicine doctors, who are coming to realize and agree that some holistic practices can and are more effective in certain cases. While modern medicine has allowed us as a people to cultivate many new forms of medicine, this does not mean that a general medication will heal every case, just as people are different so too is the way the will react or fight off disease or illness. For this cause holistic medicine with its tailored medication regiment is helping alongside western drugs to treat the general cause of pain or discomfort by western medicine for instant gratification and holistic medications are working on the underlying chronic issues that will eventually be expelled.


As a holistic practitioner Martha implements these new ideas into her treatments and allows her patients to see how relevant these new methods are in helping to bring true health back into their lives. Alternative methods of medicine as they gain favor and acceptance will help to boost what modern medicine has already supplied, Martha is allowing people in general to see the relevance holistic medicine is going to have in the future and is teaching these people how to remain healthy by giving them steps to maintaining their quality of life!
