About Us

Dr. Malter is a leading expert in hair tissue mineral analysis, particularly focused on how mineral imbalances affect stress and energy levels.

Since his retirement from his psychology practice in 2001, Dr. Malter has dedicated his efforts to research and the application of nutrition and hair mineral analysis through his consulting and HTMA training business.

In 2002, he published The Strands of Health: A Guide to Understanding Hair Mineral Analysis. This book introduces the fundamental concepts of hair analysis and serves as an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to learn more about hair analysis consultations and the importance of mineral balancing in stress and energy management. Dr. Malter continues to provide training, workshops, and consultations on hair analysis.

In 1971, Dr. Rick Malter received a Ph.D. in Education and School Psychology from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, following his M.A. degree in 1964 from the Committee on Human Development at the University of Chicago. Until his retirement and relocation to Arizona in 2001, he was a licensed nutrition counselor and a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois.

Dr. Malter has a particular interest in Learning Disabilities (LD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Since the 1970s, he has contributed to the field by writing and presenting papers on LD and ADD at state and national conventions for psychologists and special educators. Since 1980, he has been passionate about applying clinical nutrition to assist children, adolescents, and adults with LD and ADD, opting for nutritional methods rather than powerful prescription drugs. Prior to retiring from his clinical psychology practice, nutrition counseling and hair mineral analysis were key components of the services he provided to his clients.

Naomi has been passionate about health and wellness screening for over 30 years. She has successfully completed Dr. Rick's HTMA training and certification course, which has equipped her to provide hair analysis consultations for our clients. Naomi offers a unique insight into HTMA interpretation and her consulting work, having personally navigated and experienced numerous copper toxicity symptoms throughout her life. She has also significantly mitigated the effects of copper toxicity, allowing her to regain a sense of 'normal functioning.' This transformation means no more brain fog for her, as she now enjoys steady energy and focus every day. Lifestyle changes, quality sleep, proper nutrition guided by HTMA training, and supplements have helped Naomi achieve a balanced life. She shares her personal experience and knowledge with our clients, offering nutrition counseling to help them find greater balance in their own lives. Naomi’s deep understanding is complemented by practical application of all the training and mentoring she has received from Dr. Malter. She has a remarkable ability to simplify complex concepts, helping clients understand the dynamic and ever-shifting minerals in our bodies. This empowers them to take responsibility for their own well-being. While poor health may be common, it isn't normal; it's entirely possible to change it with simple steps. By helping clients recognize the body’s natural ability to heal itself, we can truly support the body's wisdom and make a profound difference.

Naomi has been sharing her unique 3-part foundational approach with clients for over 10 years.
