Ayurveda

My name is Tabitha Boze and I am an Ayurvedic Health Counselor. I found Ayurveda (or Ayurveda found me) in 2019. After struggling with acne since adolescence, my skin condition evolved into uncontrollable adult cystic acne when I was 21 years old. No skin creme or pill would heal my acne. Even after taking most extreme acne treatment available in the United States, it eventually returned. This is how I found Ayurveda. I was searching for something that I could understand and something that felt real; this sacred science offered me exactly that. I remember sitting on the floor of my apartment, opening up "Ayurveda for Idiots" and completely lighting up. I finally understood an approach toward healing and it felt like there was something out there that understood me too. I am drawn toward Ayurveda because it is truly a holistic medicinal approach– acknowledging and honoring the whole. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, this ancient wisdom considers all aspects of what it means to be human– digestion, elimination, appetite, mood, energy level, spiritual connection, nourishment in relationships, and so on. It is all connected and deserves a seat at the table. With this multi-faceted approach, we attempt to discover the root cause of disease rather than treating only the symptom. After years of not feeling fully heard or seen by doctors, this approach seemed attractive, relieving, and even somewhat magical. In addition to my interest in Ayurveda as a way to help us heal on an individual level, I also feel called to the importance and cultivation of community. I view Ayurveda as an entry point to the field of wellness and beyond that, will use it as an opportunity to bring folks together. Rather than heal in isolation, we can heal in community. We may also breathe, laugh, dance, cry, grieve, morn, and alchemize together.Show More

Shiatsu

Zen Shiatsu found me in an East West Center in San Diego in 1985. My next job took me to NYC, where I found my way to the Shiatsu Education Center of America. I became affiliated with that institution, the Ohashi Institute, and started a branch school in Chicago. I became a senior instructor in the Ohashiatsu system, and at the same time, heard a voice in a SweatLodge. It simply told me that I was born to practice Shiatsu. It's been a long four decades in the clinic and classroom sharing the beauty and power of healing touch following the Meridian Channel system. I could tell a thousand stories. I hold them all in my heart.Show More

Ayurveda

Sage Ardas is a holistic healer, advanced health coach, and energy worker offering a deeply integrative approach to wellness. Her work weaves together reflexology, cupping, and energetic alignment to elevate, balance, and harmonize the body’s natural frequencies. Drawn to family and community wellness, Sage began as a postpartum doula before earning her Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Oakland, CA. Her studies and travels through China and her exploration of herbalism, Ayurveda, homeopathy, Kundalini Yoga and Tibetan medicine deepened her understanding of the universal principles of healing and guided her back to her ancestral lineage of healers. In her years practicing in a bustling downtown clinic, Sage discovered her passion for reproductive health, fertility, and wellbeing. Her master’s thesis focused on a healing protocol for PTSD, inspired by personal loss and her desire to support veterans, mental health and trauma survivors. After a long, difficult birth left her with mobility challenges, Sage’s own healing journey took on new depth. Through a blend of physical rehabilitation, energetic medicine, and ancestral guidance, she reclaimed her strength and purpose. Now a devoted mother of two, Sage’s work centers on optimizing the body’s natural cycles, awareness and understanding hormones, honoring postpartum recovery, and empowering others to reconnect with their innate rhythm of healing and finds deep fulfillment in supporting her community.Show More

Acupressure

As a youth, I suffered from chronic stomach pain and other maladies. At age 16, I went to a traditional western allopathic doctor. He spoke with me for twenty minutes. I was asked questions such as “What type of recreational drugs have you tried?” and “Where is your pain?” I was not asked ‘Do you exercise?’ ‘How much fruits and vegetables do you eat?’ ‘Do you sleep well?’ ‘What do you do to create happiness in your life?’ The doctor then prescribed me four pharmaceuticals. They were Celebrex for the back pain, Zantac for the stomach pain, Valium, and Zoloft for I can only imagine why. I felt that the pharmaceuticals were not going to heal me but just mask the symptoms. I was offended to be only offered drugs without any help or advice towards health and wellness. I refused them and started to look into alternative health modalities. Six years later, I was referred to an amazing acupuncturist and gifted healer. It was the first time someone understood how sick I was since their diagnostic methods could see past my outer “healthy” appearance. The acupuncturist diagnosed and treated the imbalances that were ruining a lot of my days. The treatments and information changed my life and inspired me to discover how it all works. Now by sharing my knowledge and experience with others, I can help ignite the light inside of them, to find the desire to heal. I can do this by bringing my patients the tools and power needed to create wellness and health in their own lives. This is done by integrating the Eastern and Western medical systems, frequency medicine and patient education, thus creating high-quality true health care.Show More

Massage Therapy

Born and raised in Truckee, CA into a multicultural household, I have always been fond of travel and culture. After experiencing a traumatic car accident, I was left with injuries, chronic pain and PTSD. I was forced to prioritize my body’s needs, finding Hatha and Aerial Yoga training. This led me to Reiki training in Brazil and the U.S., and attaining Master level profoundly impacted my own physical and emotional healing process. Influenced by my physical therapist, I found Fascia Therapy - the Danis Bois Method (France), my passion, which led to my career in manual bodywork/ massage therapy. I fell in love with the lymphatic system and completed training at Massage Therapy Institute in Davis, CA and through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS), as well as the AMESARO (Mexico) - Associación Mexicana de Sanación con Rosas in Rose Therapy/ Healing. Sometimes our greatest challenges can become our most important teachers and opportunities for growth and learning.Show More

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the only modality that has worked for me consistently and powerfully. I’m honored to be helping people with this Eastern medicine system. I completed 2 years of pre-med undergraduate study before realizing my belief in the body’s natural healing abilities would lead me to “alternative” practices. This is what was available before modern medicine, and it’s still applicable today. As my teacher would say, “It’s better to walk with 2 legs.” We have the technology to save lives, plus the ancient ways to stay well and boost vitality. What a great time to be alive!Show More
