Rev. Dr. Josephine Smith, DC, MA
Dr. Smith has studied Eastern medicine, massage and nutrition. She became a chiropractor in 1986. In 1998 she earned a post-graduate degree in clinical neurology where she learned greater ways to evaluate the function of the brain and nervous system and thereby enhancing its communication with the body. She became a Practitioner of Religious Science in 1987 and after receiving a Masters in Consciousness Studies with the Holmes Institute, she became a Religious Science minister.
What Dr. Smith offers is a unique combination of expertise and compassion. She evaluates the physical structure and how the brain is communicating to the muscles and joints. She massages the muscles and adjusts the spine and extremities to create alignment. She provides supportive exercises for home care so that people may continue to support their own brain and body balance.
Equally as important, Dr. Smith looks at beliefs that may be limiting the perfect expression of wellbeing. She offers spiritual principles and prayer to support the healing in consciousness. It is her honor and privilege to serve you. |

Teri Broadhurst, MPH, RD, IBCLC,CMT
Reiki Master
I have been practicing Reiki energy work for last 7 years. I have always been interested in health and nutrition, having graduated from U.C. Berkeley 28 years ago with a degree in Nutrition, Food Science and Dietetics. I returned to Cal to get a Masters in Public Health Nutrition because I believe in wellness not illness. After graduating, I began exploring other healing arts to foster wellness and found Reiki to be a effective and easy way to return your body and spirit to wellness. I have lived and traveled all over the world and continue to learn how we can heal ourselves and our planet. |
