Meet your Vitalist Naturopathic Coach & Rolfer

Welcome, I am Joseph Dunkley, a certified Naturopathic Practitioner and Rolfer at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. My degree from University of Washington in the Classics and English literature introduced me to the vitalistic principles of the ancient Greeks, which inspired my deeper and lifelong studies into natural health and self-transformation.

I began in 1994 with the founding of Health & Human Potential—where I led a seven-part course and private coaching on vitalism, fasting, and natural healing. Those early teachings laid the groundwork of my two Seattle clinics Valeo Therapeutics which I founded with my sister Michelle, our teams and I worked with thousands of patients over more than 10 years—providing transformative, lasting results. Now, Valeo is in Tahoe with the same mission to empower individuals with the tools and knowledge to heal themselves and regain optimal health.

In three decades of private practice, I've worked with professional athletes, Fortune 100 executives, doctors, and countless individuals facing deep devitalization, pain, and complex injuries and illnesses.

My Healing Philosophy

My practice rests on a unique philosophical blend of ancient and modern methods, as well as a deeply considered method for inner healing, all within a revolutionary, vitalistic understanding of health.

With a natural law based philosophy, it has allowed me to have a specialized lens to identify leaders in research and practice that are curing the incurable—in ways that each turn out to be fundamentally in alignment with the history of natural vitalistic healing methods worldwide. And how could it be any different? Of course the doctors that are getting profound results are doing so because their methods are in tune with natural law, even if they haven't considered that fact themselves. In the Valeo Program I teach you their potent natural methods and where to access doctors providing them.

Spiritual Foundations and the Healing Journey

From the start, spiritual exploration has guided my work. My studies with Barry Long (the spiritual teacher of Eckhart Tolle (Power of Now), Kashmiri Shivaist & Zen master Daniel Odier, and Indian Yoga Masters A.G. and Indra Mohan have deepened my conviction that mind, body, and spirit must be addressed together to truly heal.

Years of study, meditative practice, fasting, and self-inquiry inform my methods of resolving the emotional and psychological roots of illness—where stillness and self-awareness are central to resolving the hidden trauma often fueling physical disease.

This inner healing journey is beautifully validated with my training in German New Medicine (GNM)—scientifically linking the mind with disease and healing. GNM is potentially the most significant discovery in the history of health and disease.

More recently, an intensive exploration of scripture has deepened my perspective on living in alignment with divine laws, including optimal diet.

A Legacy of Transformation

In total, I've personally devoted over 30,000 hours to patient care and witnessed countless transformations—whether Rolfing top-performing athletes or helping someone with a life-altering wellness imbalance. This devotion to unlocking the body's innate healing power has culminated in the truly unique and uniquely inspired Valeo Program.

My life's work has been to share with those who can hear, the great wisdom and truths that I have learned (often the hard way) from the blessing I have been given to learn from the worlds masters of their fields.

I look forward to being a part of your journey to true health freedom and life-changing transformation.
