Hello

Welcome

If you are interested learning more about ALF Therapy and becoming a certified provider, please take advantage of the resources available on this website

Offering both Online and Hands-on training

a great place to start

We understand that dentists and orthodontists have many options to choose from as they navigate their journey as ALF Therapists.


Our goal is to provide an opportunity to learn from the creator of ALF Therapy as it was intended and continues to be updated and refined as time goes on.


As a natural consequence of the sharing of valuable information, there have been several dentists and orthodontists that have learned a portion of the message and recognized the need to spread the word and attempt to  simplify the teachings of ALF Therapy.


Even though some providers have felt overwhelmed by the complexity of the teachings and have been instructed by other people in their ALF educational journey,  there is a need to ensure that the authenticity of the true message of ALF Therapy is made available for all who dedicate themselves to learning it. 


The blessing of modern technology has now provided an opportunity for providers from all over the world to hear the message for themselves as we come together as a community to share common resources and a common message.

Our history

Dr. Nordstrom's tireless efforts and selfless devotion throughout the years of his inspired career has created opportunities for him to share his knowledge.  The highly trained and skilled providers that have chosen to follow his teachings are able to provide services to patients that are unsurpassed with the use of other techniques.


The multitude of success stories speak for themselves.  Dr. Nordstrom wishes to share the gift of the ALF Therapy with all who strive to understand the benefits that only the ALF can provide
