Wil Alaura is a medical intuitive. His diverse background contains a consistent thread although at first it may not seem apparent. As an interior decorator for over twenty years, he operated Alaura Studios featuring interior design, specialty painting and art glass fabrication. For years as he painted and worked with light, Wil was aware of energy patterns and depicted them in his work. It was not until he was asked what did he really see as he painted that he began to explore the wider ramifications and healing powers of energy for the body. He embraced the concept that all life is energy. Thus where energy is blocked, disease occurs. Looking into the crown chakra over his head, he connects upwards and then to your own crown chakra. Here an information channel is opened that allows him to "see" bodily systems and their energies. While concentrating on this, he determines where there are imbalances. He describes these to you then matches energy therapies, herbs, homeopathics, Bach flower essences and other such remedies as needed to help your body heal itself. As a medical intuitive, Wil helps those with chronic illnesses including allergies, autoimmune disorders, digestive, circulatory, respiratory and lymphatic problems.

Electro-Acupuncture According to Voll (EAV)
ElectroDermal Screening or EAV provides a completely non-invasive
method for gaining valuable information about your body's vital
functions. The primary objective of the procedure is to disclose patterns
of stress and to provide feedback to help in a program designed to restore each
system and meridian to balance.
The first step in this process is to measure the electrical conductivity at
responsive points on the skin (typically on the hands and feet). The
locations of the test points are the same as for acupuncture. The
measurements are recorded and provide a profile of your present condition.
According to Oriental and European medical research, the acupuncture points are
related to your body's organs and organ systems. As you move away from,
or toward good health, the condition of any particular organ or system can be
sensed at the points specified in the diagram below.
Major groups of points are connected into channels, or meridians. Twenty
of these meridians begin or end on the hands and feet. As a result,
stress associated with the corresponding organs may be surveyed using the
indicated points.
Electro-Acupuncture does not provide a medical diagnosis. If you suspect that you need medical intervention you should consult your physician, who can provide a diagnosis and medical treatment regimen.

Photon Sound Beam Therapy
The Photon Sound beam provides a full spectrum of
bio-available photon energy to meet the body's essential need
for direct, holistic nutrition.
It re-establishes the ideal frequency and energy state of the body, devitalizes pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc.) and breaks up blockages and barriers within the body.
The movement of the lymphatic system is essential in detoxifying the body, supporting the immune system and maintaining "homeostatis". Normally the lymph is pumped by the movement of our body's electromagnetic field through that of the Earth's electromagnetic field with exercise and activity. However, a clogged or sluggish lymphatic system prevents the body from circulating vital fluids and eliminating toxic wastes, and dulls the immune system response. Tissue and cellular stagnation / congestion makes us vulnerable to infectious disease. In order to be healthy, it is essential to keep the energy and fluids moving so that the body's natural intelligence may operate in its full healing capacity. In addition, each cell must be enlived with its own unique frequency resonance and ideal electrical energy state, and be fully connected to the life-force energy throughout the rest of the body.
- Stimulating and strengthening the immune system
- Reducing and eliminating pain
- Eliminating pathogens and parasites
- Oxygenation and deep tissue cleansing
- Eliminating blockage and barrier issues by re-polarization of cells and molecules; separating bound cells, dissolving lumps, clots, mineral deposits
- Opening up physical and energetic channels by moving body fluids (blood, lymph, cerebral/spinal fluid)
- Re-establishing normal cellular frequency and cellular energy states (polarity)
- Neutralizing negative thought forms/stagnant energy
- Increasing energy levels and a clear sense of wellness
- Recharging life-force energy & facilitating higher states of consciousness
- Enhancing existing body work/therapy sessions
- Cosmetic applicators for facial toning
- A wide range of holistic and allopathic applications especially when used in conjunction with a natural health program
