Inspired by personal growth and the realization of the need for a higher standard within healthcare, Dr. Peter Amato Ph.D., D.N.M. envisioned a wellness program that would unite both conventional and holistic/alternative medicine. With that, Dr. Amato, a Doctor of Natural Medicine and Integrative Medicine Consultant, has created a truly unique wellness center.
Our program is built on a foundational 5 Step Process:
1. Restore Body PH
2. Eliminate Infections
3. Detox the Body
4. Balance Hormones
5. Promote anti-aging
As we move through these 5 steps of healing, we draw on a number of energy healing modalities, depending on what your body indicates. Some of our modalities include SCIO biofeedback, Autonomic Response Testing, Red Light Therapy, Quantum Reflex Analysis, Emotional Repolarization Testing, Light Beam Generator Therapy, Bioptron Light Therapy, plus Nutritional Education and Weight Loss Therapy, full detoxification and immune boosting programs.
We offer an overall Mind-Body approach to wellness that spans both traditional as well as Functional Medicine. Our Strategic Vision emphasizes the importance of a holistic and integrative approach to self-healing.

Both doctors and patients alike are seeing the amazing results of integrative medicine which is focused on treating the whole person, not just masking their current symptoms. The partnership between patient and practitioner is essential in delivering the best healthcare program from a cohesive balance of conventional, energy-based and quantum therapies.
A guiding principle within integrative medicine is to use methods that have high-quality scientific evidence to support them and are fully physician-supervised such as Red Light Therapy here in our Scranton, PA Wellness Center.
