Our Mission is to provide our patients with quality holistic care. We strive to offer therapies that are non-invasive and low risk, that work with the body, encouraging and assisting it. Our treatments are always customized according to your unique presentation and predisposing factors, and aim to address the underlying cause of your condition as well as its outward symptoms. Our therapies also have a preventive power, promoting health and well-being, and can help you eliminate conditions while they are still mild, before they have time to progress and take root. People come to us because they prefer our holistic approach, because they want to combine our therapies with what they are currently doing, or because they have been unable to find relief through more conventional avenues.
Providing Quality holistic care is reflected not just in what we do but in how we do it. Essentially, we believe that giving care is just as important as having good technical and diagnostic skills. Our space is peaceful and private and we intentionally see just a handful individuals per day. We work with only one person at a time so that we can be totally present, allowing for a thorough intake, full examination, proper diagnosis, and effective treatment. This also gives us time to answer your questions, discuss your treatment plan, and explain the underlying mechanism of your condition. We are committed to helping you achieve your goals, whatever your current health status is, and our intention is to do this with compassion, consideration, and respect.

"Having received a wide variety of bodywork and energy work over the past twenty plus years has set my standards very high. The manual therapy session I had with Rick was quite outstanding, and I intend to return often for care. I would highly recommend Rick to others as well." ~HS
"Robert is a very sensitive therapist and each time I see him he listens carefully to what my needs are and makes sure that my body gets what it needs to relax and recuperate. Robert is highly intuitive and aware and also channels amazing energy through his hands throughout the session. He is also very aware of anatomy and muscle structure and answers all of questions about what is going on when my body gets so tight. Thank you Robert!." ~LS
