Deborahe Prock

Deborahe Prock, Naturopathic Practitioner, AKA Dr. Deb; Please note that Dr. Deb is a nickname that she was given in the 70’s for the healing that she did. She is not licensed by the State of California but work as a Practitioner. She does have a Diploma as Doctor of Naturopathy from Clayton College, this is not a recognized College by the State it does however train her as an educator to consult with your health. She is passionate about healing! Since 1993, she has embraced her path as Healer and Teacher. Always maintaining a humble attitude of student as well as healer, her senses are always open to healing possibilities.

She is her own best testimony: after surviving cancer myself, the various tradition treatments, and some permanent effects of those treatments, she brought herself back to health and vitality using some modern medicine in conjunction with the wisdom she gained becoming a Master Herbalist. Through her experiences, she has gained insight into how to enable individuals to create their own wellness, using integrative approaches (using both traditional medicine and complimented with supplements and herbs). She feels honored to be able to help and encourage others toward their goal of well-being.

When she first began working as a natural healer, all of her visits were house calls…she embraced the idea of the traveling “barefoot doctors”, of the ancient “medicine woman”, and of “simpling”. A “barefoot doctor” traveled from village to village learning, healing, and dispensing knowledge gained in the field regarding health. We have heard about the medicine women of many different cultures who carefully passed their wisdom of the healing and nutritional powers of plants down through the ages. The art of growing and using herbs for medicine is traditionally called “simpling” however she takes the notion a step farther: She believes that less is best when it comes to using herbs to improve health, so she keeps her herbals blends as simple as possible to maintain their effectiveness. Often, taking 1 or 2 of the correct herbs is much more effective than taking 6 or 8 of the almost correct herbs.

As her practice has grown and thrived, her traveling days are fewer and you can usually find me at her office. Seeing clients every day has allowed her to gain even more knowledge based on direct feedback from her clients. She learned that what works for one client may not work for another client. Each individual has their own herbal needs and she is pleased to be able to offer personalized herbal blends if needed. It is very important to learn that we do not live in a world where we can be all holistic all the time, so also educating when we need to be seeing the traditional MD or even a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) so that they may order testing or scans.

All of her remedies are created with the intention of healing and she carefully screens her herb suppliers. She always want to know where the herbs are from, how they have been prepared and stored, as well as the intention they were harvested with. She provides far too many remedies to be able to grow the herbs herself anymore. Most of the herbs she uses in hr remedies are harvested with the intention to heal. She does not use any herbs in her remedies that she would not use for her family or for her pets. 

She could not keep up with the demand for her herbal remedies by herself, so here she must give credit to her husband and helpmate, Rickey, and to her wonderful assistant, Janise, for their dedication and hard work. Each morning, before they begin working with the herbs, they thank God for the opportunity to provide healing and they ask for His blessing.

Although modern living has created many degrees of separation between people and our natural world, she believes there are benefits to be had by blending the best of both modern medicine & natural medicine, thereby lessening the space between these applications: integrative medicine. Many of us find benefits from the use of herbal remedies as well as prescription medications! She openly and happily works with traditional doctors in order to help clients thrive.

Her passion is healing & teaching and not-so-much about the money-making involved, so don’t be surprised at how reasonable her prices are. If she didn’t have to make a living, she would not charge for her services at all! Giving people what they honestly need and are able to afford is her creed.

Please check back often and freely explore this website! Read much in your quest for knowledge and well-being! She is always available for your questions and/or comments.
