Here are my favorite healing practitioners, local shops, retreat centers and sources of uplifting support. If you feel drawn to any of them, be sure to say my website directed you.
Dr. William C. Han
at the Beach Health Tree
I love Dr. Han! He's been my acupuncturist and source for herbal supplements for 6 years now, successfully reducing the inflammation / pain in my arthritic left knee, boosting my immune system, and balancing hormones & emotions! I breezed through menopause thanks to Dr. Han who's been in practice for over 30 years as a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist and Nutritional Consultant. His conservative, gentle manner is greatly appreciated. And the store is expertly run by Shannon, who is a trustworthy source of guidance as well.

Captanis Chiropractic
Holistic Chiropractic Care
Dr. Robyne Captanis offers personalized, gentle & diversified treatment! She's the newest addition to my 'resource team,' and I'm thrilled with her amazing skill set, personality and hands. In addition to being a chiropractor for 20 years, she's a board-certified naturopathic physician, specialist in nutrition, homeopathy & applied kinesiology, a former bodybuilder and a fitness trainer. I'm happily finding that old, compensatory postural patterns are shifting / correcting under her great care!

Self Exploration
Esalen Institute
Esalen is like no where else on earth! This is where I've taken a lot of my bodywork training and most especially, my inspiration, since finding my way "home" there in 1987. Esalen is a convergence of mountains and sea, mind and body, East and West, meditation and action. It is a center for alternative education, a forum for transformational practices, a restorative retreat, a worldwide community for seekers. And... it is The Place for massage & bodywork (other than on my table, of course)!
