Enlighten Integrated Health

Enlighten Integrated Health We take a practical, whole body approach to care. At Enlighten, we believe healing happens best when providers work together.

By combining chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, naturopathic care, and laser therapy, we focus on improving function, supporting recovery, and helping your body heal over time. Welcome to **Enlighten Chiropractic & Holistic Health**, an integrative clinic in Wasilla, Alaska focused on delivering collaborative, results-driven care for chronic pain, injury recovery, functional wellness, and pr

eventative health. We are a multidisciplinary team committed to helping patients feel and function better through a combination of chiropractic care, naturopathic medicine, medical massage, and low-level laser therapy.

**Dr. Ralf Schurmann, DC** brings over 20 years of clinical experience in chiropractic care with a focus on structural correction, pain relief, and restoring mobility. He is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic and provides individualized, evidence-informed care to help patients recover from injury, improve function, and live pain-free.

**Dr. Alana McLaughlin, ND** is a naturopathic doctor who specializes in identifying and treating the root causes of chronic health concerns. She uses functional medicine, in-depth lab testing, and natural therapeutics to support hormone balance, thyroid function, digestion, fatigue, and overall wellness.

**Samantha Dowd, LMT, LDT** is a licensed massage therapist with over 15 years of experience, specializing in body balancing, neuromuscular reeducation, and therapeutic exercise. She works closely with the doctors to deliver integrated, hands-on care that improves movement, supports recovery, and addresses the root of musculoskeletal dysfunction.

**Our Medical Massage Therapist Team** focuses on outcome-based massage that supports clinical care plans and improves long-term function. Medical massage plays a vital role not only in recovery from pain and injury but also in ongoing wellness and prevention. Regular bodywork can reduce inflammation, restore balance, and improve overall performance—making it an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Our mission is to treat the whole person—not just the symptoms—and to create an environment where patients are supported, educated, and empowered to take an active role in their health.

What Makes True Laser Different?

It is not simply the color of the light.

True laser light is more focused, directional, and organized than LED light. This allows the energy to be delivered to the treatment area with greater precision and less spreading at the surface.

LED light is broader and more diffuse, making it useful for covering larger, superficial areas, but the light is not delivered in the same way.

The difference is in the delivery:

True Laser

Coherent, directional light
Narrow, precise wavelength
More concentrated beam
Designed for targeted treatment

LED

Noncoherent, scattered light
Broader wavelength range
Energy spreads over a larger area
Often used for more superficial (skin) coverage

Same wavelength does not always mean the same delivery—or the same biological response.

“Your labs are normal.”

Have you ever been told that… even though you still felt exhausted, struggled to lose weight, had brain fog, poor sleep, digestive issues, or just knew something wasn’t right?

Traditional medicine is excellent at identifying disease once it has developed. But what happens before that?

At Enlighten Integrated Health, Dr. Alana looks at your lab work through a functional, naturopathic lens. Instead of waiting until values are far outside the normal range, she looks for patterns, trends, and subtle changes that may suggest your body is beginning to struggle.

Your lab values don’t exist in isolation. They tell a story when viewed together.

Our goal isn’t just to ask, “Are you sick?” It’s to ask:
✨ Are you thriving?
✨ Is your body functioning the way it was designed to?
✨ What can we do now to help prevent bigger problems later?

Small changes today can make a big difference in how you feel tomorrow.

If you’ve been told everything looks “normal” but you know you don’t feel your best, it may be time to take a deeper look.

Our last retreat filled FAST… and this is your chance to claim a spot for our **FINAL summer retreat.**

Join us **August 30th from 11:00–5:30** for a full day designed to help you step out of survival mode and back into yourself.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, emotionally drained, stretched thin, or like your nervous system never fully shuts off, this day is for you.

This is not just a “relaxing day away.”

This is space to breathe.
Space to process.
Space to release what you have been carrying.
Space to understand why your body feels stuck in stress mode and what to actually do about it.

We will blend nervous system education, practical tools, movement, reflection, sauna, connection, and deep rest so you leave with more than just a good feeling. You leave with something you can carry into your real life.

Because you are not meant to keep spinning your wheels in survival mode.

Do this for yourself.
Do it for your mind.
Do it for your body.
Do it for the version of you that is ready to feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded.

**Reserve your spot online soon. Our last retreat filled quickly, and space is limited.**

And if you cannot make August 30th, you will not want to miss our **6-week Rooted Nervous System Reset series** starting this fall. We are offering **two time options** so you can choose the one that fits your life.

Change your tomorrows by choosing something different today.

FULLY BOOKED 🌿

Our upcoming retreat filled so quickly, and we are so grateful for the response.

If you didn’t get a chance to register this time, we have another day retreat coming up **August 16th**.

These day retreats are packed full of practical information, nervous system education, reflection, movement, rest, and tools you can actually bring into your everyday life — but they are also just the beginning.

For those wanting to go deeper, we launched our **6-Week Rooted Nervous System Reset Educational Series** starting **September 16th**.

This co-ed series is designed to help you better understand your nervous system, recognize your stress patterns, learn how to support your body through demanding seasons, and begin building a calmer, more grounded way of living.

Each week will be a 2 hour session with education, guided practices, reflection, and tools you can take home and actually use.

You and your partner are welcome to join together. This can be a beautiful way to learn how to better support one another through stressful, busy, or emotionally demanding times.

We will have **two session time options** available and bookable online:
Wednesdays 10-12 am & 6-8 pm

Both will begin September 16th, intentionally placed before the hustle of the holiday season so you can enter that time with more awareness, support, and regulation.

Another Rooted series will be offered in late winter, with dates to be announced.

Thank you again for supporting these offerings. We are so excited to keep growing this work with you.
