Ashburn Author Recognized for Book on Energy Medicine

Ashburn author Heidi DuPree’s first book, “The Other Medicine That Really Works: How Energy Medicine Can Help You Heal in Body, Mind, and Spirit,” recently won recognition at two ceremonies.

DuPree, a holistic nurse and energy-healing therapist with a practice in her home community, won the Health: Alternative Medicine category of the 2013 International Book Awards. In addition, DuPree was named a finalist in the Body, Mind, Spirit category of the 2013 National Indie Excellence Book Awards.

“It’s really about recognizing our health issues as messages from deep within us,” said DuPree, a three-decade resident of Loudoun County.

Dupree also is a Certified Traditional Naturopath with more than 30 years of experience in healthcare – half in clinical nursing and half in energy medicine.

“When the focus of healthcare is only on biochemical medications, it can actually prevent us from getting to the root of what ails us,” she said.

A comprehensive guide to a healing way of life, “The Other Medicine That Really Works,” addresses the pervasive lack of knowledge in our culture regarding the core causes of chronic physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health issues and their energy-based treatment.
