A Natural Approach to Neuro-Health: Investigation of Diagnostic Parameters & Herbal Treatments for Common CNS Disorders

with Bev Maya, May 21-22, 2022

Workshop Information

In this two day workshop, Bev will equip herbal students and natural medicine practitioners with many tools to aid in the diagnosis, treatment and possible resolution of the most common disorders of the Central Nervous System. These disorders include migraines, anxiety, depression, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, stroke, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Bev will provide her audience with key diagnostic parameters that are commonly tested in each condition. She will also elucidate connections between each condition and key organ systems in the body in keeping with Bev’s wholistic natural medicine philosophy. Bev will also discuss the importance of specific dietary nutrients and foods that support optimization of elimination pathways and minimize inflammatory responses as a broader etiology to ongoing disorders of the nervous system and the body as a whole. Finally, a full review of Herbal Medicine therapeutics will be discussed.

Course Instructor

Back in university, Bev earned a reputation as a tenacious inquisitive driven to make sense of nature through scientific endeavors. This reputation has withstood the test of time. Today, as a practicing Medical Herbalist and international speaker at medical conferences and colleges, Bev focuses on demystifying menopause for patients that don’t respond to traditional medicine.

Bev’s unique background informs her deep investigative approach. Her science studies led her to work in fundamental research, pharmaceuticals, anesthesia, oncology, urology, transplantation and neurology for twelve years before training as a Medical Herbalist and opening her own clinic. This unique blend of education and experience provided her with a rare ability to study the intricacies of our nervous, endocrine and digestive systems for physiological, emotional and spiritual root causes to medical concerns associated with the menopausal process, some of them deep seated and lifelong.

Bev’s inquiring personality (encouraged by both parents being teachers) has lent itself to her style, as a generous and passionate speaker particularly adept at empowering her audience to deconstruct complex ideas into their simplest form and apply this learning in the context of their own medical practices.

In addition to her work at Maya Natural Health, Bev also works in collaboration with several Medical Doctors specializing in wholistic solutions during midlife at Westcoast Women’s Centre for Hormone Health, Vancouver, B.C.
