THE HEALING CENTER is located in St. Marys, Ohio and is owned and operated by Fred Sipes. He is a licensed registered nurse with national certification in holistic nursing.

recently certified as a Naturopathic Physician by the American
Naturopathic Medical Accreditation and Certification Board (ANMACB).
Only natural principles and modalities are used with clients of The Healing Center. There is no medical doctor on staff.
What We Do
We use a variety of applied and consultation services to assist clients in healing. Help is provided in the natural areas of nutrition, acupressure, iridology, hypnosis, visualization, guided imagery, reflexology, mineral vitamin supplementation, and herbs. Although we frequently make recommendations in regards to the use of various herbs, minerals, vitamins, and etc., we do not sell those items.
Holistic Nursing Care Plan
If the client desires, a complete nursing care plan will be developed which views the individual as a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual being. This is a personal and comprehensive nursing assessment of the client and is conducted by Fred Sipes, RN-HNC.
The care plan allows for an ongoing assessment of a cient's condition by providing baseline data used to detect changes in his/her health. It is intended to address the needs of the whole person - mind/body/spirit. Therefore we refer to it as a (w)holistic nursing care plan. This kind of assessment also helps determine if there is a need for consultation or referral to other health care professionals.
Our Specialty
We specialize in pain management and stress reduction for individuals and/or groups. If you, or the group you represent, are interested in receiving help in one of these areas please contact our office.
Our Beliefs
We believe all illness is reversible through "natural" processes. At the same time we realize that prescription drugs and/or surgery are sometimes necessary when dealing with an acute illness. However, we feel they are only temporary measures. In our opinion when such treatments work, it is due to the activation of the body's innate healing mechanisms. Ultimately the cause of all cures is the healing system of the body.
When illness persists it is because the healing system is blocked, stalled, or overwhelmed and needs help. It is our conviction that the true purpose of medicine is to facilitate healing. Therefore all treatment should be directed towards unblocking the healing system thus enabling the human body to do what it was created to do. We believe there is a definite distinction between treatment which originates externally, and healing which comes from within.
We believe the least drastic and least expensive treatment that activates natural healing is the best treatment.
If you have tried other approaches to healing your illness with little or no success perhaps it is time to try a "natural" approach offered by THE HEALING CENTER.
Working with Organizations
Most of our work is done in the office. However, we realize it is sometimes necessary to go to the client. This is especially true when an organization wishes to offer their employees help in the areas of stress management, relaxation, pain management, health counseling, smoking cessation, self-direction, weight control, positive communication, group hypnosis for a common problem, development of individual (w)holistic health care plans for key personnel, etc. If your organization has such a need please contact our office.
Help From a Distance
We develop "individualized" audio tapes for individuals who have problems with sleep, relaxation, and stress. In every case it is necessary to gather personal information related to that person's difficulty in order to create an effective tape. The cost of each tape is $14.95 plus S&H
Depending on the circumstances, other areas of need may also be addressed by using audio tapes. Interested individuals may contact our office for further information.
