The Tree Whisperer®

This site is about to undergo a major revision and upgrade.
Please come back.

Dr. Jim Conroy, The Tree Whisperer®, loves trees.

And, he holistically heals them when they are stressed or in decline. With today's weather extremes, most people's trees are stressed to some degree. Dr. Conroy was the first to teach that stresses on trees are additive and three or more stresses can lead to decline.

"Dr. Jim" wants to save the trees on your property and restore their health...even if others say that they should be cut down. He knows how much you care about your trees...and what they mean to the value of your home or land.

A real breakthrough in modern thinking about saving sick trees: he created the first holistic healing system for trees. You probably don't want to use chemicals anymore and he uses no products or invasive techniques.

Inspiring you is one of Dr. Jim's goals: he provides new information about practical, holistic tree care and his workshops offer personal and uplifting experiences of the Life Force of trees and plants.

Dr. Conroy founded Plant Health Alternatives, LLC, in 2002 with a global mission to

foster respect for trees and plants as life forms,
accomplish changes in tree and plant care practices by coming from the plant’s point of view,
discover insights and take actions that lead to major cultural and environmental impacts for tree and plant health.

Dr. Conroy created and developed revolutionary alternative health care system for plants: the Green Centrics™ system and
CoExistence Technologies™, Dr. Conroy combined modern plant science with advances in the “new sciences” (like Quantum Physics and Holistic Living Systems Theories) and with the philosophy and practices from systems of ancient wisdom to yield a totally new, cutting edge approach to plant health that helps stressed trees and plants grow healthy and vigorous.

Dr. Conroy became a Certified Organic Land Care Professional, certified by NOFA Connecticut in 2004.

Dr. Conroy provides an on-site service that saves trees that others have given up on. The service re-establishes dynamic balance among the thousands of interacting and inter-dependent functions inside trees and other plants working from the “inside-out.” Then, conventional approaches can keep the tree or plants healthy.

His class, “Tree Whispering™” has been popular at the Omega Institute. Dr. Conroy gives people a new kind of personal experience with trees. His delivery style is informative, inspirational, thought-provoking, warm and fast-paced. His book, Secrets of the Tree Whisperer™, is nearing completion.
