You are here: Health Medicine A Journey Through Worlds of Holistic Healing
Sally Kravich is a modern shaman: a world traveler, a holistic healer, and one of the leading natural health practitioners in the country. It was a fortuitous twist of fate that introduced her to the world of alternative medicine.  When she was a child, Kravich suffered from asthma and allergies.  Her mother decided to search for a cure by trekking the globe to seek alternative medical solutions.

“In the 1950s, my mom introduced me to alternative modalities.  In 1963, we moved to Switzerland in search of naturopathic remedies and a respite from frequent moves. I eliminated wheat and dairy, took homeopathic remedies and my allergies went away,” she recalled.  Sally’s journey, however, did not end in Switzerland.  Other destinations included South America, Australia, and parts of Canada, the U.S., as well as studies from many cultures.

“As a teenager, I decided to help other people get over their sensitivities. I wanted to help people raise healthy kids using food as medicine,” she said.   “I have studied and watched numerous cultures ever since—what they eat and the plants they used as support.  I have even observed the aborigines.”

With over twenty-five years of experience in the field of holistic health, Kravich is widely regarded as an authority on nutrition, vitality, and wellness.  Her advice has been cited in “Harper’s Bazaar,” “W,” “Essence” and many other magazines and books.  She was featured on NBC’s “Dateline,” along with Aleta St. James, as a nutritional expert in the area of pregnancy.

Her client base is diverse and oftentimes affluent, including high-profile actors, fashion designers, directors, photographers, producers, athletes, models, doctors, CEOs, body builders, and everyone in between.“I inspire people to change their diet, by eating delicious foods for building health, and teaching meditations for creating vibrant health,” Kravich said. “My programs cover body and soul nutrition.  Maintaining the acid/alkaline balance is an important part of what I do.” 

Recently, she published a book, “Vibrant Living:  Creating Radiant Health and Longevity.”  “The book came out of clients’ questions,” she explained. “They had so many follow-up questions after their sessions, and since I couldn’t spend additional time outside the sessions, I created a manual for them to take with them.” 

The book was published along with a three-part DVD series, “Living a Vibrant Life.”  A cookbook containing fast, easy, healthful and delicious meals is also in the works as well as a book for pregnancy and new moms.  In the future, she said, “I have more books to write, more people to inspire.  We must teach our children better.”
