About Us

Dr. Malter is a leading expert in hair tissue mineral analysis and how mineral imbalances effect stress and energy.

Since his retirement from his Psychology practice in 2001, Dr. Malter has devoted his time to research and the application of nutrition and hair mineral analysis in his consulting and training business.

In 2002, he wrote The Strands of Health: A Guide to Understanding Hair Mineral Analysis.   This book introduces the basic concepts related to understanding hair mineral analysis and is an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to learn more about hair analysis and the importance of mineral balancing as it relates  to stress and energy management.  Dr. Malter continues to offer training, workshops and hair analysis consultations.

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

Dr. Malter’s special interests have been in Learning Disabilities (LD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Since the 1970’s, he has written and presented papers on LD and ADD to state and national conventions of psychologists and special educators. Since 1980, Dr. Malter has been passionate in applying clinical nutrition to helping children, adolescents and adults with LD and ADD, instead of using powerful prescription drugs.  Before he retired from his clinical psychology practice, nutrition and hair mineral analysis were valuable components of the services that he offered to his clients.

Rosalie loves journeying with people, collaborating with them on their way to growth and development, intentionality and better health.  She knows the significance of listening and validating another’s feeling and intentions. No one wants to be judged or evaluated or fixed – just heard.

She works with you to help you realize you need to have health and energy in order to enjoy those years to the fullest and she is able to guide you to maintain or attain your best level of health and energy.

Naomi has been interested in health and wellness screening for over 30 years. 

She has successfully completed Dr. Rick's HTMA Training and Certification Course and provides HTMA consultations for our clients.  

Naomi brings a special understanding to HTMA interpretation and her consulting work because she has travelled the path and experienced most if not all the copper toxic symptoms over her lifetime. 

She has also overcome or greatly reduced the effects of copper toxicity to the point that she now feels she has regained and maintains 'normal functioning.' Meaning no more brain fog. Consistent steady energy and focus all day.  

Lifestyle changes, quality sleep, proper nutrition and supplements guided by HTMA have helped Naomi achieve a balanced life and she shares her experience and knowledge with our clients to help them gain greater balance in their lives too. 

Naomi has a genuine understanding and practically applies all the training and mentoring she has had with Dr. Malter. She has a unique way of simplifying and helping people understand the dynamic and ever shifting minerals in our bodies in order that clients can begin their journey to taking responsibility for their wellbeing. 

While poor health is common, it isn't normal and it can be changed with simple steps. Helping people realize the power of the body to heal itself by supporting the wisdom of the body, makes all the difference in the world!
