Debbie Rudyk has been providing electrodermal

food allergies, organ health assessment, toxic exposure, supplement compatibility, meridians and emotions. Deb has over 20 years experience
in the natural health field and combines that with her friendly personality to help people gain further insight into their health.
Deb
started her career in the health industry as a registered technologist in Nuclear Medicine- a diagnostic imaging modality. During
her 14 years in diagnostic imaging, she became chief technologist and played an active role in clinical training for student technologists,
participating in the preparation of national examinations. She felt that the medical model was lacking on a number of levels, and
that there was more to health and healing, so she started to research alternative pathways and became interested in all healing options,
taking a plethora of holistic courses.
She became “totally infused” with alternative medicine. She has participated in a variety
of alternative modalities from energy medicine to IV vitamin therapy.
