Claudia Hanau, ND
Claudia Hanau N.D. is the owner of Hanau Holistic
Care & Aesthetic Medicine. She has devoted much of her life to the
study of natural foods, nutriceuticals, herbs, and homeopathy and
their effect on health. Combining Eastern knowledge with Western
technology, she can utilize the best of both worlds to offer health,
information, and guidance.
Claudia Hanau first became interested in the holistic approach to medicine while working towards a degree in Psychobiology at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. This interest continued and expanded during her graduate studies. Her exposure to the concept of "biochemical individuality" as taught by Roger J. Williams inspired her passionate interest in the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit and how it relates to health and harmony within an individual. The combination of her education at Temple and the knowledge gained in Naturopathic Medical School affords a unique mixture of hard scientific facts and more esoteric holistic modalities. This allows great insight into the existing dysfunctions and potential therapies for patients. Nutritional therapy, minerals, herbal supplements, and homeopathic remedies, along with techniques to balance an individual's overall energy system are some of her tools to help you realize optimum health. Claudia believes that there is sometimes a need for allopathic (traditional) medical care and pharmaceutical drugs. There are times when the body is so far out of balance that you must take over the physiology with pharmaceuticals. Once the causes of these imbalance have been figured out and corrected, it is often possible to wean off of the medications. When applied with thought and care, this approach can be very safe and effective. If not, it can be potentially dangerous with even deadly side effects - even with commonly used drugs. She believes that good diet and lifestyle combined with holistic methods should be the primary effort toward optimal health. Occasionally acute illness or sudden trauma require traditional medical care but even then the effectiveness of alternative therapies as an adjunct to conventional allopathic medicine may result in a more desirable final outcome.
