Susan HamerskySusan Hamersky understands the stress and struggle businesswomen face when "trying to do it all." You're always worried that something's falling through the cracks, and there's constant guilt that you're not spending enough time with your family...let alone, having time for yourself.
That's why she and her husband founded California Concierge in 1999, to provide executive businesswomen and other professionals with a convenient and confidential solution that completely takes care of their personal and household to-do list so they can focus at work, relax when they get home, & have time for themselves & their families.

Tim GasparI am a business professional with a bachelors degree in Business Administration, Management from California State University Northridge. After graduating I began working as a staff accountant for Gaspar Insurance Services, Inc. a retail insurance agency where my primary duty was to oversee the agency's trust account. Along with becoming a licensed P&C insurance agent, during my time here I learned a lot about the inter workings of a rapidly growing small business and the importance of having strong leadership and well defined processes. After over a year and a half with Gaspar I decided that insurance and accounting was not something I was passionate about and decided to pursue a career in Construction. Building things has always been something I've enjoyed. Whether it be with legos or infuriating Ikea furniture; the planning, process and completion of projects is extremely fulfilling to me. This is why I figured what better career to pursue than Construction Management and enrolled in UCLA's CM extension program to get the theoretical knowledge needed to assist me in my new career path.

Rick Reid"Your Work is Your Signature"
I started out as a laborer for Amnord Masonry in 1978. At that time I was introduced to Mark Thun by my friend Fred Ewert. I worked with Mark, learning the masonry trade, until 1981. Soon after, my brother and I started a masonry business. When John left to pursue his career in the aerospace industry I continued on my own eventually aquiring my contractors liciense in 1997 and starting my own company, Richard J. Reid Stonecraft, which I have today.
During my apprenticeship with Mark I learned a great deal about the importance of layout and quality workmanship. Today I am well versed in the construction of a variety of residential masonry work. I find it especially challenging and stimulating to design and build some special project a customer has envisioned.
Working with Mark and Fred taught me the importance of customer relations, which means showing up on time every day and completing the job in a timely manner. To ensure the job is done properly and promptly, I never take on too much work at one time. Consequently, I never spred mtself too thin with the result that my customers never feel like I'm neglecting them.
Customer satisfaction ranks high on my list of priorities.
To make sure my customers are happy, I spend a lot of time talking with them. Sometimes what they want is simple and straight forward which makes it easy to fulfill their wishes. At other times they have only a vague idea of what they want. In those cases I ask if they have a picture of what they might like or if there is a house that has a feature that is similar to what they have in mind. In some cases, the customer will pick the material they want and give me carte blanche to do whatever I think will look right.
Sometimes a customer will ask me to design somethimg special or unique. In such cases I will work with the customer to develope a design or it may just evolve. In all these cases I keep my customer well informed. I sometimes caution them that masonry can be like a tattoo. Once you get one it's hard to stop.
I have many customers of long standing who have employed me repeatedly. I consider this fact as proof that my customer satisfaction rating is high. Sometimes these old customers seem more like friends than clients but I am always careful to keep business matters on a professional level. Recently I completed a job in La Canada. It was a big remodel and several contractors - plumbers, electricians, carpenters, tile setters - were used. When the customer gave me the final payment he said, "Rick, I wish they were all like you." That wasn't the first time a customer expressed that feeling to me.
Fred Ewert taught me a valuable lesson when I was starting out. He said to me, "Rick,YOUR WORK IS YOUR SIGNATURE." Those words always remind me to remember that after the job is finished and the invoice is paid, my work stands as a symbol of my reputation. To that end I make sure that the work is the highest quality possible so that it will reflect on my company in the best possible way.
I have also worked in the public sector with North East Trees, a non profit organization, on a project called The River Walk. The River Walk is a series of mini parks situated along the Los Angles River designed for people who ride bicycles and walk along the river. These parks include stone seating walls, drinking fountians, steps, and stone based signs that have information about indigenous plants and animals. The park on Oros St. and the river has a small amphitheater made of a mixture of river rock and recycled concrete. I was responsible for the construction of all the stone work done on these projects. Lynn Dwyer was the landscape architect who designed the entire project. We worked together in the field to complete the project.
One park is located on Los Feliz Bl. east of the 5 freeway, two more are on Riverside Dr. from Oros St. to the 110 and 5 interchange, and the others are situated on the river between Los Feliz Bl. and the 110 and 5 interchange.

Felicia PaustGreat energy, friends, laughter, food, new faces and fun. Sounds like a party, right? It is actually one of our Networking Events! Wednesday is Chamber day at the West Valley ~ Warner Center Chamber of Commerce. Every month we have many networking opportunities. If you have an available representative, there is something for everyone!
Each of our Networking opportunities are popular for their own reason. I believe the overall appeal is the genuine warmth from our members. ambassadors and Board of Directors. You will also notice right away, the bond and support that is apparent among the Chamber staff and chairman and is also shared with the members and guests.
All you need to do to sign up for an event is:
~Decide which one you want to attend
~RSVP On-line by Tuesday at Noon prior to each event
~Pay On-line method is available for your convenience
~Then just show up and check in
If none of the above work for you, you can always welcome a new member into our community by stopping by at a Ribbon Cutting. You would still have a chance to see some familiar faces and share a smile.
See you there.

Trevina JeffersonI have spent over 15 years working in the education field: childcare center, family childcare, and college settings.
I left home to serve her country three days after high school graduation, furthermore, I gained leadership rank quickly in the restaurant management field for the U.S. Navy. I am a UC Berkeley graduate and have almost completedmy Masters in Educational Administration at California State Northridge.
Personal Note:
I love to help people realize their dreams. These dreams have taken different forms over the years from helping a child transform from a angry gang member to a productive student and desire to help others; from helping students go from confused ideas about majors, colleges, and careers to making well-informed rationale decisions about their education and career possibilities, and assisting educational leaders go from being confused about the laws and regulations that govern new programs to understanding how these laws and regulations will support their program and what is expected.
As an educator first, my job is to support you when you cannot do it yourself; also, I will help you develop skills overtime so that you can do it on your own later. If you do not wish to learn how to do the job you have hired us for, we will make sure that you at least understand what we have done and why.
One interesting thing about me is that I love to travel. While I have brought many treasures from the places that I have traveled, you will usually find a doll representing a country that I have been to in my collection. When I go to another country, I am the learner and that country's people are my teachers.
Mission
Our mission is to meet the diverse needs of our clients in California. This means creating solutions for unique challenges and not making a one size fit all solution.
Philosophy
Follow your dreams and the rest will fall in place. We will be that one voice that says, �you can� and will help you achieve your goals.

Your Real Estate Analyst and Marketing Expert!
Empowering and guiding my clients so that they are able to make decisions with confidence and peace of mind.

When combined, my skills in Real Estate and over 30 years of experience in local and national Broadcast Advertising, you know that you will be presented in an award-winning fashion, and yield the \"highest net return on your investment\".

Anca SaccaroANCA SACCARO, owner of FIT BODIES, is a Certified Personal Trainer in Simi Valley, California and is pursuing the ISSA Specialist in Performance Nutrition certification.
Anca's passion for fitness began 17 years ago, when she left behind the physical and emotional difficulty of being an obese teenager by losing 55 pounds. She has been training ever since and in 2007 decided to take it to the next level: the competition stage of the National Physique Committee.
Adding muscle to her small frame has been hard work but after gaining 5 pounds of muscle and losing 20 pounds of bodyfat, Anca has had three successful seasons as a figure athlete.
Although a self-professed runner at heart, she credits the complete change in her body shape to weight lifting and a healthy diet 90% of the time. Healthy doesn't have to mean boring, however: she loves to find new, delicious ways to cook figure-friendly meals.

Seth DavisIt is the job of a mediator to help disputing parties find a resolution to their case/dispute. It is not the job of a mediator to practice law or make decisions, findings or rulings.
With my experience as a mediator, I am successful in making parties comfortable so that they can freely discuss their issues. Confidential open communication is the key to a successful mediation.
Working in the insurance industry for two decades has cultivated my ability to evaluate the merits of a claim and articulate the strengths and weaknesses of a case. This unique experience gives all parties information not typically offered. Having represented insurers and worked with defense counsel enhances my credibility with attorneys and insurance companies. This insight is invaluable to plaintiff attorneys.

Sergia AndersonSergia began dancing and performing at a young age in Classical Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, and Theater. After receiving scholarships from New York City Dance Alliance and Tremaine Dance Conventions she was accepted for study at the Alvin Ailey School in New York City, where she focused most intently on Martha Graham technique and classical ballet.
At 17, she started dancing professionally and choreographing for Interweave Dance Company based out of Boulder, Colorado, and continued to be faculty for the next 5 years.
In 2007, Sergia turned her focus to salsa, latin hustle and partner dance, and began competing professionally in Theater Arts, Hustle, Cabaret, Salsa, Just Hustle, and Triple-Threat Dance Divisions.In her first year of professional competition in hustle and salsa she took home over 10 titles, including 5th place in the On-2 division at the 2007 ESPN World Salsa Competition in Orlando, Florida. In 2008 she relocated to Los Angeles from New York, and days later took 2nd Place in the 2008 Mayan World Salsa Competition. In 2008 she was honored to be a featured artist in Miami City Ballet\'s tribute to dance legends Augie and Margo Rodriguez. Sergia can be seen as Julianne Hough�s back-up dancer in her fitness video �Just Dance.�
In 2010, Sergia was introduced to Pole Fitness. When she realized the incredible mix of strength and artistry it displayed, she was mesmerized. She got the bug to conquer the challenge. She began her training at BeSpun in Hollywood with Leigh-Ann Orsi, Amy Guion, and Tiffany Hayden, and got her pole fitness certification with Cat Gennaro at Poleates in Westlake Village. She was inspired to use her dance background in different ways, and taking it to the air was an exciting new frontier. She was determined to share this method of fitness with others. �After years of dancing it took pole fitness for me to not worry about what my body looks like, but appreciate what it will do for me.�
Sergia has a BFA in Drama from Tisch School of the Arts, NYU, where she studied at Stella Adler Studio of Acting, the Experimental Theatre Wing and Musical Theatre at Collaborative Arts Project 21. Her New York Theatre credits are far reaching including working with Broadway director Jerry Zaks in City Center Encores!

Total Woman Gym + Spa is the largest, full-service gym and day spa in California. Started in 1965, we have dedicated more than 40 years to helping women achieve their health, fitness and wellness goals.
Total Woman�s visionary founder, Art Stone, began his first health club with a single store called World for Women in West Los Angeles. The idea came to him as owner and operator of Kismet Beauty Salons, a chain of 11 successful beauty salons in the Los Angeles area. He often heard his primarily female clientele discussing the need for a place that could offer the weight-loss results of a gym along with the pampering of a day spa, and ideally, be able to offer these amazing perks to women only.
World of Women was born! His first store provided his clientele exactly what they had been asking for -- a women�s only health club offering massage and a health food caf� -- and became an instant success. In 1983 Adrienne Stone joined forces with her husband and together they began the expansion of the successful concept to incorporate full-service day spas which included facials, body treatments, massage, aromatherapy and manicures and eventually changed the name to Total Woman Gym + Spa. Art and Adrienne retired in 2007 and now serve as Board members for Total Woman, continuing to guide the company with their vision.
Today we have 13 locations across Southern California and are continuing to expand, with our newest location in Northern California, Alameda, and another in San Jose opening in June of 2013 . Our unique concept is like nothing you have ever seen. We have all of the amenities that a woman would want in a fitness center with a twist: Our full service day spas and boutique elements give our gyms the upscale look and feel of a five star day spa.

Paul ShafitOur Values
All values and guiding principles for New Beginning Christian Church must be rooted in the scriptures (II Tim. 3:16-17, II Tim. 2:15).
1. Knowing God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ and living by His Word is the foundation of life.
We believe that the basis of the Christian faith is to know God through repentance for sin, receiving Jesus Christ as Lord, building an intimate relationship with Him, and being conformed into His image. God has declared us righteous through faith in Jesus Christ (John 1:12, John 17:3, Rom. 8:29, II Cor. 5:21).
2. It is essential for every believer to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and be completely dependent on Him.
We recognize that we desperately need the person, the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to minister effectively to our generation. Changed lives are not the product of men�s wisdom, but in the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit as modeled in the New Testament church (I Cor. 2:2-5, John 15:5). We believe it is essential for every believer to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and to pursue spiritual gifts (II Cor. 13:14, John 4:23-24).
3. The Great Commission will be completed through prayer, evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.
We are committed to helping fulfill the Great Commission through prayer and fasting, evangelism, discipleship, and church planting locally, nationally, and internationally reaching both Jew and Gentile (Matt. 28:19-20, Matt. 6:5-18, Acts 1:8).
We are called to support others who are called as co-laborers, as churches are planted throughout the world. The Great Commission is fulfilled through tearing down spiritual strongholds of darkness and church planting (I Cor. 3:6-9, Matt. 11:12, II Cor. 10:3-4, Acts 14:21-23).
4. We deeply value the sacred covenant of marriage and the importance of training our children to know Christ.
It is our belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. Both marriage and family are instituted by God, and healthy, stable families are essential for the church to be effective in fulfilling its mission. Parents are called by God to walk in the character of Christ and to train their children in the nurture and loving discipline of the Lord Christ (Mark 10:6-8, Eph. 5:22-6:4).
The Lord is calling His people to walk in the fear of the Lord and in a biblical standard of holiness and purity. Marriage covenants are ordained by God and need to be honored and kept .We uphold the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. (Prov. 16:6, Mark 10:9, I Thess. 4:3-8, I Cor. 6:18-20).
5. We are committed to spiritual families, spiritual parenting and intergenerational connections.
Believing that our God is turning the hearts of the fathers and mothers to the sons and daughters in our day, we are committed to spiritual parenting on every level of church and ministry life (Mal. 4:5-6, I Cor. 4:15-17).
The small group is a group of believers and/or families who are committed to one another and to reach others for Christ. We believe the Lord desires to raise up spiritual families in many levels including small groups, congregations, apostolic movements and the kingdom of God (I Cor. 12:18, Eph. 4:16).
We believe each spiritual family needs to share common values, vision, goals, and a commitment to build together, with the need to receive ongoing training in these areas (Ps. 133, II Pet. 1:12-13, II Tim. 2:2).
We are committed to reaching, training and releasing young people as co-laborers for the harvest, as the young and the old labor together (Acts 2:17, Jer. 31:13).
6. Spiritual multiplication and reproduction must extend to every sphere of kingdom life and ministry.
Multiplication is expected and encouraged in every sphere of church life. Small groups should multiply into new small groups and churches should multiply into new churches. Church planting must be a long term goal of every congregation (Acts 9:31, Mark 4:20).
7. Relationships are essential in building God�s kingdom.
Serving others and building trust and relationships is a desired experience in every area of church life. We believe the best place to begin to serve and experience trust and relationship is in the small group (Acts 2:42-47, Eph. 4:16, Gal. 5:13). We are joined together primarily by God given family relationships, not by organization, hierarchy, or bureaucracy (I Peter 2:5).
8. Every Christian is both a priest and a minister.
According to the scriptures, every Christian is a priest who needs to hear from the Lord personally (Rev. 1:5-6). Every believer is called of God to minister to others and needs to be equipped for this work with the home as a center for ministry. Fivefold ministers are the Lord�s gifts to His church. He uses fivefold persons to help equip each believer to become an effective minister in order to build up the body of Christ (I Pet. 4:9, Eph. 4:11-12). We need to be constantly handing the work of ministry over to those we are serving so they can fulfill their call from the Lord (Titus 1:5, I Tim 4:12-14).
9. A servant�s heart is necessary for every leader to empower others.
We believe every sphere of leadership needs to include a clear servant-leader called by God and a team who is called to walk together. The leader has the anointing and responsibility to discern the mind of the Lord that is expressed through the leadership team (II Cor. 10:13-16, Num. 27:16, I Peter 5:1-4).
Leaders are called to listen to what the Lord is saying through those whom they serve as they model servant-leadership. They are called to walk in humility and integrity, in the fruit of the Spirit, and in the fear of the Lord (Acts 6:2-6, Acts 15, Matt. 20:26, Gal. 5:22-23).
We believe God raises up both apostolic overseers and partner church elders to direct, protect, correct and discipline the church. These leaders must model the biblical qualifications for leadership (Acts 15, Acts 6:1-4, I Tim. 3, Titus 1).
Those with other spiritual gifts including administrative gifts (ministry of helps) need to be released to fulfill the Lord�s vision on each level of church life (I Cor. 12).
In every area of church life we believe we need to submit to those who rule over us in the Lord and esteem them highly in love for their work�s sake (Heb. 13:17, I Thess. 5:12-13).
10. Biblical prosperity, generosity and integrity are essential to kingdom expansion.
Biblical prosperity is God�s plan to help fulfill the Great Commission. The principle of the tithe is part of God�s plan to honor and provide substance for those He has placed over us in spiritual authority. Those who are over us in the Lord are responsible for the proper distribution of the tithe and offerings (III John 2, Matt. 23:23, Heb. 7:4-7, Mal. 3:8-11, Acts 11:29-30). We believe in generously giving offerings to support individuals, churches, and ministries of like polity inside and outside of the New Beginning family.
We believe that every area of ministry and church life needs to be responsible financially and accountable to those giving them oversight in order to maintain a high standard of integrity. Spiritual leaders receiving a salary from the church are discouraged from setting their own salary level (Gal. 6:5, Rom. 15:14, I Thess. 5:22, II Cor. 8:20-21).
11. The gospel compels us to send missionaries to the unreached and help those least able to meet their own needs.
Jesus instructs us to take the gospel to the ends of the earth to those who have never heard. Our mission is to reach the unreached areas of the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ by sending trained missionaries and through church planting. Together we join with the body of Christ to reach the unreached (Matt. 24:14, Acts 1:8, Acts 13:1-4, II Cor. 10:15-16).
We are also called to help the poor and needy, those in prison, orphans and widows which are of the faith. This includes our reaching out to the poor locally, nationally and internationally. When we help the poor, both materially and spiritually, we are lending to the Lord (Deut. 14:28, 29, Deut. 26: 10-12, Matt. 25:31-46, James 1:27, Prov. 19:17).
12. We are called to build the kingdom together with the entire body of Christ.
Our focus is on the kingdom of God, recognizing our small group to be our local church, and New Beginning Christian Church is just one small part of God�s kingdom. We are called to link together with other groups in the body of Christ and pursue unity in His church as we reach the world together (Matt. 6:33, Eph. 4:1-6, John 17, Ps. 133).
We wish to see God�s kingdom come not just in and through the church, but in all areas of life. Therefore, we are called to minister in the church, the family, government, the arts, education, business and the media, so that all such spheres come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and reflect the values of His kingdom. (Matt. 6:10)
We believe in utilizing and sharing the resources of people and materials the Lord has blessed us with. This includes the fivefold ministry, missions, leadership training, and other resources the Lord has entrusted to us (I Cor. 12, Acts 2:44-45).
Our unifying focus is on Christ, His Word and the Great Commission, and we believe we should not be distracted by minor differences (Romans 14:5).
New Beginning Christian Church is a family of believers diverse in culture but sharing a God-given vision, Godly values, mission and commitment to start and nurture churches and ministries.
God has called us to be people of prayer, to make disciples, to reach those who need to know Jesus and to advance the Kingdom of God. We stand together with the body of Christ to proclaim Jesus as Lord and bring glory to Him.
We declare our victory in Emmanuel (God with us) as we experience living out the promise of the Kingdom of God and transforming our world in His name.
Our Vision
The Bible tells us without a vision the people perish (Prov. 29:18). Our vision is to build a relationship with Jesus and with one another, and transform our world from house to house, city to city and nation to nation. We are called by God to be a family of churches connected through relationship; living out God�s plan for us and transforming our world. New beginning Christian Church is called to keep actively involved in what the Lord is doing in the world today. We desire to empower, train, and release God�s people at the grass roots level to fulfill His purposes. Jesus values people, and He has called us to see the Father working in those whom the Lord has placed in our lives.
In order to contribute the most to God�s overall purpose for us, we are committed to continuing the wholehearted pursuit of the Lord and the specific vision and calling that He has given us: to build the church with an underground feel and focus in the nations of the world. This focus is fulfilled as small groups of believers, committed to the Lord and to each other.
Our goal is to love Jesus, love His people and love a broken world. May Jesus Christ be honored and glorified as together we experience living the Kingdom of God and transforming our world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to exalt Jesus Christ as Lord, obey His Word, and to encourage and equip each believer for the work of ministry. This mission will essentially be accomplished by the threefold mandate God has given us: prayer, evangelism and discipleship.
Prayer: In prayer we worship God; we bring our needs and the needs of the world to Him, and we allow the Holy Spirit to transform us, to empower us and to reveal to us His specific strategies for fulfilling the Great Commission.
Discipleship: Engaging in discipleship, we build relationship with and care for one another, training each other in godliness and good works, so that we would all be mature disciples engaged in the threefold mission of prayer, discipleship and evangelism. Discipleship thus becomes ongoing, as those who have been trained, in turn, train and disciple others.
Evangelism: Through evangelism we seek to make known the glory of God and the name of Christ through verbal proclamation, publishing, the arts, acts of compassion and service, both to our own neighbors and cities, and also by going to the peoples of the world in cross-cultural mission. We desire to see children, youth and adults come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, the un-evangelized hear the good news and churches planted in all nations.
We engage in this mission in humility, with dependence on God, and in cooperation with all brothers and sisters in the body of Christ, working for unity in all that we do.

Gary AdelsteinHello,
My name is Gary Adelstein. I have been a gear head since I was 5 years old. Anything with an engine intrigues me. When I was young, instead of playing ball, I would be building bikes, models, rockets, and motorcycles.
My father and I ran a textile business from 1982 until 2005. With imports killing the US manufacturing base, I decided to make a career change. I opened Bristol Collision Center in 2006. I had been buying and restoring cars my whole adult life and my wife, Stacy, encouraged me to do something I love. This is what sets Bristol apart.
Stacy and I are involved with every car (and person) that comes through our shop. Our customers are always happily surprised by the attention they receive, and they feel safe and comfortable, knowing that we guarantee our work... we are here for them and always make sure that they are happy.

Tatiana DavidovPhotography is not just a craft, it's a Passion!
Portraits are special, because
Eyes of my Subjects are Reflections of their Souls.
When you shoot with me - I usually work with your photos within 2 weeks or less. I select the best of what we shot and do the entire editing, cropping, retouching, etc. myself.
Let me finish pictures of those, who were waiting ahead of you! I work fast, but still, be patient!-
I'm fine with escorts, as long as they are help and not a distraction on the shoot. Extra pair of eyes will help to tame a fly-away stray of hair or runny make-up
I ask that you not re-crop, retouch, or alter final images in any way, shape or form. No, not even if you're really good at a Photoshop
I usually do watermark images when they are for a web use, and I expect photo credit, both online and offline if we trade-off. This includes MM, Facebook, Flickr, Bloger, Google, Twitter, etc
If we're shooting for test/TFP, I will need you to sign a release. If that's an issue, we won't be shooting. If you wish to license an image that we shot for portfolio, I will gladly negotiate compensation with you
I do not give out unedited files under no circumstances. The art of photography is not over once an image was captured on a censor chip. The work I do in post processing is a crucial part of creating an image and following my vision and inspiration. That is why I don't let anybody to mess with it
I will not reschedule cancellations for unpaid shoots under any circumstances. Paid assignments are requiring $50 non-refundable deposit to cover my time in case you will cancel and assure that you will reschedule
P.S. Thank You for letting me create your photo memories!

Michael LEWISBelow, is the evolution of our journey to concierge medicine�
I am a board certified family practice physician.
I first met my wife, Jenn, in 2005 while we were applying for residency/internship following our medical school/psychology programs. I was matched to a position at the Cleveland clinic, and Jenn to an internship in New York. We maintained and nurtured our courtship for a year, with Jenn (most often, due to my 100 hour work weeks) making the 6 hour trek out to spend weekends together. During this time, we began to see an emerging theme in the healthcare paradigm. Patient care was thwarted by the demands of a saturated system and insurance companies. Even through our exhausting and demanding schedules, idealism pushed us forward into the path of creating our own system. I was often looked upon as the �maverick- hippy� in stark contrast to the streamlined and linear approach dictated by mainstream medical culture. My desire for more personalized and holistic care came into conflict with the high volume of patients and institutional restrictions that negatively influenced the quality of my work. We used to say: �We should really open a practice together!� in 2006, Jenn and I married, moved back home to the San Fernando Valley (where we grew up) and started professional jobs out of training. 4 1/2 years into my last position, the burnout of caring for 3,000 patients (seeing 20 + per day) and institutional limitations pushed me to look seriously at the possibility of a new career. In 2013, the idea of going out on my own was inspired by a patient who jokingly said, �When are you opening your concierge practice?� Until then, I had resigned myself to the way things were, not realizing that I could create a new path towards a more fulfilling experience for myself and my patients. I immediately phoned Jenn telling her that I knew what I wanted to do with the next chapter of my career. After watching my steady decline into frustration and disenchantment over the years, she was thrilled with the idea, and has stood by me as we moved towards bringing this dream of ours to fruition. Jenn will be seeing her own clients as part of Willow Healing Center � Our dream is here.
Our goal remains steadfast: to build strong and meaningful relationships with our patients while providing them with integrated and personalized health and mental-health care.

One thing remains a constant...what you put in your body makes a difference in your ability to prevent illness. Your food choices plays an important role in many aspects of life. Food is powerful and it can be your medicine.
I have worked with people across the age spectrum, from infants, children and teens, to adults and seniors. Time and again, when my clients come back to me and say "I've never felt better," "I have more energy, "or "my clothes feel less tight," it reaffirms the strong connection between food and health. Helping you achieve a better sense of well-being is food for my soul.
