Washington's Finest, Most Comprehensive Nutrition and Wellness Program!

The guiding principles of integrative, holistic medicine are based on exploring and removing the deep underlying causes of disease, and tapping into the body’s innate and powerful ability to encourage natural healing.
Whether it is preventing sickness or supporting the body’s self-healing process, we at NIHA recognize that food is the most fundamental element to life and health. None of our therapeutic treatment protocols can create absolute health without incorporating nutritional wellness. The foods we eat either fuel and nourish us, or drain and obstruct our physical systems, damaging our bodies and life.
We are proud to offer to our community our unique and inspiring medically directed nutritional therapy programs. Let us help you liberate yourself from destructive lifestyle patterns and integrate the changes you have been longing for:
• Gain a new perspective on food and eating
• Learn to nourish, replenish, and flush out, rather than pollute, and clog up your body
• Incorporate everyday eating rhythms that are natural to you
• Bring your body back to its genuine and authentic state and shape
• Increase your life energy and vitality; regain a sense of freedom and lightness; uncover your natural beauty, enjoying radiant skin
“Let food be your MEDICINE and medicine be your FOOD” Hippocrates

Essentials Program Testimonials
The class was clear, concise and very easy to follow. Interaction among the Ms. Kramer and the participants was thought provoking, clearly insightful and completely a new set of rules to eating and drinking. I always felt the time flew by and we could have easily doubled or tripled the time we had with Ms. Kramer. She is a a fountain of nutritional information and I look forward to our next meeting and continuing her meetings/lectures. On a personal note, I haven't felt as good as I currently do in easily the last ten years, my skin has improved, even my nails and hair has improved. I 'm working on weight loss which has been slow and steady, but I'm not as consumed about "diet" and image as I was prior to taking these classes. This has been one of the best things I've done for myself in years. It was God sent. --C.B.C.

Immersion Program Testimonials
Phenomenal is the word to best describe the power packed sessions I have in this program with Eve! It has really set the stage for a healthy lifestyle. My eating habits have changed. I have received an awareness that now governs my food intake. Thanks Eve! -- I. R.
In this program with Eve, I've learned to shop for organics and I now eat vegetables everyday. I'm truly excited about eating more greens! I'm so thankful for all the patience, advice and support. -D.F.
Before starting the 6 month program with Vincent, I was very stressed out at my corporate job. I felt unhealthy, anxious, and I was relying on coffee to get me through the day. I wanted to learn more about nutrition, decrease my anxiety, and lose weight. During the program, I enjoyed the individualized support, recipes, and books; the one-on-one support from Vincent really helped me kicked my 15 years of caffeine habit! The most significant improvement I had experienced were feeling healthier, no more headaches, lost weight, improved sleep and decreased my anxiety! Thanks for all the dedication and insight. It was a godsend!” --K.M.
It was really my wife who has been health conscious and wanted us to have better habits. I liked the simple recommendations and how we could easily implement things into our busy lifestyle. It was very helpful that Vincent understood our day to day schedule and how to make changes. I found that drinking more water, adding more colorful vegetables, and practicing relaxation techniques really help me deal with daily stress better. -- S.H.
I must say that having worked with Ms. Harris over the last six months has been a God send. Until right before working with Ms. Harris, I have struggled with my weight, my overall perspective on how I relate to food and how to modify my behavior such that I can live a happy and full life. With Ms. Harris's guidance and the knowledge she has shared, I have been able to put things into the proper perspective so that I may go forward living a healthier life. I am able to do this as a result of a heightened awareness of the areas of my life that need to be balanced -- physical, emotional and spiritual. I appreciate Ms. Harris' patience and moreover her genuine commitment to leading her clients into a healthier way of life. -- A. F.
Lisa’s dedication to the art/science of her living well concepts shine bright in all she does and shares with those lucky enough to discover her. I believe that you have been blessed--so take that blessing and change your life (that's what I did). --K.K.
Lisa Wilson is an extremely dedicated and caring health professional. She helps make healthier living a reality for her clients through knowledge, experience and creativity. I've personally made some significant changes based on her input and I expect many more improvements. Lisa not only makes it painless to integrate healthier habits---she makes it fun! I am very grateful that my physician recommended. P.B.
