The Grant DeCarlo Institute for the Healing Arts helps you restore balance and add sparkle to your life — through natural-health consultations and the books, products & programs of Dr. Emily Grant DeCarlo.
True wellness isn't only physical. We tend to all three parts of you — and care for the place where they overlap: wellness & wholeness.
Faith, stillness and meaning. We make room for prayer, rest and the inner life — because lasting healing begins on the inside.
How you think shapes how you heal. We nurture focus, calm and self-belief through coaching, learning and gentle daily practice.
Nourish, move and detox. Through nutrition, holistic therapies and natural remedies, your body is freed to do what it was made to do — heal.
…and where all three meet — wellness & wholeness.
For nearly five decades — since 1976 — Dr. Emily Grant DeCarlo has done legacy work as an educator, author and evangelist. The Institute is the culmination: a movement to inspire healing, hope and transformation in mind, body and spirit.
Her approach blends wellness education, creative expression, spiritual enrichment and humanitarian service — never patching what's been torn, but building new models that move people forward into hope and purpose.
“We operate at the speed of love.”

The collection also includes the Miracle Me™ and I Can Too™ children’s books and the poetry collection Glaze.
At the heart of the Institute is “My Condensed Course in Wellness” — Dr. Emily's signature curriculum in natural, whole-person health. It was built to travel: into universities, school systems, health agencies, churches and community groups — and it has been shared in past partnerships with leaders like the Virginia State University Public Health Institute and JenCare Senior Medical Center, so healing can reach whole communities, for generations to come.
Natural wellness, the body's healing mechanism & immune defense, mind-body-spirit — distilled into one accessible course.
Guest curriculum, lectures and workshops that bring wellness and confidence to students and staff.
Community wellness education and “Power-Filled” workshops that ripple outward across the Tri-Cities and beyond.
To help people discover their God-given potential — and become catalysts for positive, forward-moving change in the world.— The mission of the Institute
Holistic care looks at the whole person — not just a symptom. We pair natural approaches like nutrition, movement, detox and rest with encouragement and faith, so your body, mind and spirit are all cared for together.
Not at all. Dr. DeCarlo's care is rooted in faith and offered with warmth and respect to everyone. Prayer and encouragement are always invited, never imposed — you are welcome exactly as you are.
The Institute is serving the greater Richmond and Tri-Cities area of Virginia. Services are by appointment — call or text (804) 368-4665 to arrange a time and place.
We talk through how you're really feeling — energy, digestion, stress, women's health and more — then build a simple, natural plan you can actually live out. No pressure, just a caring, personalized starting point.
Whatever you're carrying in mind, body or spirit — there's a gentle next step. And we're expecting greatness for you.
