Meet a Few of Our Holistic Healers
Holistic therapies are alternative or complementary treatments that address a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual health. These therapies are based on the belief that the body has an interconnected system and that addressing one part of a person’s health can positively impact their overall well-being.
You can receive Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, the Feldenkrais Method, Energy Medicine, Acupuncture, Water Flow Therapy & WATUS during your stay at The Ranch.
Here are a few of our excellent practitioners:
Donna Wood
I’m not an energy healer, but as a Feldenkrais practitioner, I work with the nervous system to help people move and feel better. I help with improving posture, balance, and flexibility. I’m often helping athletes, dancers, and musicians resolve and prevent issues and pain related to joints. Increased feelings of wellbeing and stress reduction are also connected to movement improvement. Additionally, there is confidence that arises from the acquisition of new skills and abilities. The Feldenkrais Method is something that everyone can do to receive immediate and ongoing results. I work with people in group classes and in individual sessions, so it is accessible to all.
I have been teaching and practicing the Feldenkrais Method for over 20 years. I was introduced to Feldenkrais as part of my martial arts training. In addition to private practice and working here at Rancho La Puerta, I continue to be involved in the teaching, training and mentoring new practitioners in professional Feldenkrais Method training programs.

Dr. Wiri Andrade, Acupuncturist, L.Ac
I practice Traditional Chinese Acupuncture and an intuitive form of treatment. While acupuncture can certainly treat pain, it can foster a sense of well-being, balance, and tranquility. This helps amplify the natural healing process. It is a scientifically proven way to regulate your nervous system and balance your energy.
It is important to note that while many people find holistic therapies helpful, they should not be used as a substitute for medical care. Consulting with a healthcare professional is always a good idea if you are considering holistic therapy.
