LAKEPORT – Think you can’t afford a massage? Wonder if acupuncture hurts or heals? Still trying to figure out what exactly homeopathy is?

Sutter Lakeside Hospital Wellness Center Integrative Healing House practitioners have the answers, and solutions, to all these questions and more!

“There has been a recent increase in the integration of medical care with wellness care,” explained SLH Wellness Center director Tammi Silva. “We are starting to see more clients visiting the Healing House and participating in practitioner services.”

Added to the already amazing line up of services available at the Healing House, we welcome Gina Winter, holistic massage therapist; Lotus Zen Therapeutic Massage; Svetlana Petrowizky, L. Ac, licensed acupuncturist and herbalist; and Sasha Shempliner, CH, classical homeopath.

“We believe that massage should not be just for the ‘rich and famous’ nor should it be considered just a luxury,” said Zen, partner of Lotus Zen Therapeutic Massage, now seeing clients out of the Healing House. “We believe that everyone should be able to afford and receive a massage, especially those who work hard for their money and whose bodies receive the most abuse from hours of hard manual labor.”

Lotus and Zen attended Konocti College of Holistic Studies under Director/Instructor Connie Eddings, HHP, where they graduated with full honors as Certified Massage Therapists with over 500 hours of course studies and certifications, and now have worked over 6,000 hours in their own practice.

Along with muscle tension reducing holistic massage, Gina Winter is also a detox scrub therapist, specializing in energy-based body work. Your signature massage from Winter will include “a unique mixture of healing techniques such as Swedish, Esalon, lymphatic drainage, neck and shoulder relief, aromatherapy and reflexology.”

Both Winter and Lotus Zen have pre-paid massage package specials available, along with discounted single massage sessions.

Relocating to beautiful Lake County from Southern California, acupuncturist Svetlana Petrowizky and homeopath Sasha Shempliner will join the practitioner team at the Healing House in mid June.

“The focus of my treatment is on combining hands-on healing with acupuncture, herbology and nutritional counseling,”, explained Petrowizky. “I integrate the treatment of the spine with traditional Chinese medicine. By guiding the person to improve their diet and lifestyle, the problem is addressed at the core.”

All Integrative Healing House practitioners are accepting new clients with services including: acupressure, acupuncture, biofeedback, chiropractic care, healing touch, homeopathy, hypnotherapy, journey work, massage, meditation, naturopathy and Reiki.
