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.

Naomi Brand
Naomi has been interested in health and wellness screening for over 30 years.
She has completed Dr. Rick's HTMA Training and Certification Course and also provides HTMA consultations for our clients. Over the last 10 years Naomi has also been using Thermal Imaging in addition to HTMA for safely monitoring stress and inflammaton.
Naomi has a B.A. from the University of Iowa from the School of Journalism and Communication.
Ever since Naomi was told at her very first mammography appointment that they could not read her images and they wanted her to do another mammogram she has had the desire to find a screening method that fit her lifestyle yet was effective and cost efficient. It made no sense to her as to why would they do another mammogram if they can’t read it. When asking what other options are out there, they told her ultrasound but ONLY if she did another mammogram. She then had a 6-week fight with the clinic to allow her to do an ultrasound without the additional mammogram and finally they said okay. She found out she had fibrocystic breast tissue which made reading her mammogram difficult to say the least. She decided then, there had to be a better way to screen breasts, that is when she discovered Thermal Imaging!
It’s radiation-free, no contact, safe and effective too. to map heat patterns in the body to monitor stress and inflammation. She was excited about this safe, adjunctive imaging method. As Naomi went through training and certification she learned there were even more potential uses for Thermal Imaging when approaching well being from a wholistic perspective.
