Organizations

Option Institute
The Option Institute has developed the simplest and most elegant no-hype technique I know for gently and skillfully helping you find the center of your issues and the way to change your patterns of interaction.

Upledger Institute
The Upledger Institute trains practitioners in cranio sacral work. I cannot say enough about this work. A skilled practitioner can help you address depression, vision problems, chronic sinus conditions, dental pain, migraines, chronic back problems, spiritual unease and many other issues. This work is extraordinarily subtle and honoring. It begins with the notion that the birth trauma itself can leave the plates of the skull crushed. This, by itself, leads to endless maladaptations. This subtle work can bring remarkably profound results for sensitives.

The Healthy Living Directory
The Healthy Living Directory is a comprehensive source for natural and alternative health products and services in and around Charlottesville.

Because I can not keep track of changes in the nature of a practitioner's practice, nor in personal changes that may impact the practitioner's work, I no longer provide referrals on my website.
