Julian Christopher Cortez, M.Ed., M.A.

Biography

A New Yorker through and through, I was born in Brooklyn and raised in the Bronx. I have a M.Ed. in Counseling Psychology, a M.A. in Social Clinical Psychology. I attended the California Culinary Academy. I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. I am also a member of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
I have brought my love of healing to my many years of experience working in the substance abuse field. However, I have been frustrated by substance abuse agencies that encourage and support the use of legal addictions such as sugar, caffeine, and tobacco. I have been constantly amazed at how nutrition is not seen as a vital part of recovery for clients and staff and hope I can assist in heightening awareness.

Julian Christopher Cortez, M.Ed., M.A.

My interest in holistic health care was sparked when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2002. My neurologist didn't support me in seeking alternative medicine, in fact, she gave me a life sentence of living in a wheelchair. I felt stuck, scared and alone. My diet was horrible, and to top it off I had been a smoker for 24 years. I knew it then, the time had come for a change. Needless to say, I never saw that doctor again.

Instead, I saw a Holistic Health Counselor who, with me, explored the areas of my life that were not balanced or simply did not exist. She helped me to understand the importance of expressing certain emotions and by not discharging those emotions can manifest as illness in the body. She exposed me to substitutes for certain foods and gave me recommendations in making small changes in my life.

I started acupuncture, changed my diet, started taking supplements, terminated the toxic relationships in my life and more importantly stopped smoking. I have a close relationship with my acupuncturist which has facilitated my healing.

As a Holistic Health Practitioner I work with individuals who want to heal themselves and want assistance in reaching their health goals. Together we will take a close look at what you are eating, as well as looking at all other areas in your life that are not being fed.

I am a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition which is accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
