| Cliff
K. Ishigaki Psychosynthesis Counseling Life Purpose Addiction Recovery Private Practitioner |
|
For appointments: 714 542 2250 cliff@wellnessworksglendale.org |
|||
| The turning point for Cliff came while
he was a Marine Officer in Vietnam, experiencing the reality of
war and loss. The experience became a catalyst for him to heal himself.
It taught him about the reality of trauma, immense loss of hope,
and that there is also the birthing of recovery. Cliff works with
people who have gone through severe crisis and loss. He believes
that sometimes trauma and severe loss manifest through addiction
and yet the reality of how breakable we are makes us confront the
reality of what can restore. Cliff adds that what we have learned,
our psyche, our spirituality, the work of healing and creative energy
is also part of our story, not only trauma. Cliff has been involved
in helping services since 1972. He sometimes uses the body in his
work, as he has been an Aikido Instructor for 30 years. Through
the practice of Psychosynthesis, Cliff blends the psychological
and the spiritual. |

Lauper, L. Ac. Acupuncture Private Practitioner Clinic Volunteer |

For appointments: 562 715 1405 818 569 3033 elen@wellnessworksglendale.org |
|||
| Elen has been in practice since 1992 with a Masters Degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine and practices a range of acupuncture styles. Elen’s approach in treating symptoms and complaints is to listen to the body, and then to teach you how to do the same. Her style is eclectic, taking from TCM, Classical Chinese medicine, Japanese Acupuncture, Auricular, and Hand Acupuncture. The focus of her work is: movement, nourishment, and assistance through times of change/aka crisis. Elen works with clients in cooperation either to remedy a specific complaint or for general health improvement. She teaches her clients how to look at their symptoms and complaints as the body’s way of communicating a sense of imbalance; and shows how to see the connections between the mind, body, emotions and psyche or spirit. Although acupuncture is most often used for pain relief, it is also used to unlock long-standing symptoms of impaired functioning such as asthma, allergies, menstrual discomfort, digestive disorders, immune impairment, and urinary difficulties, creating a sense of calm and well-being at the same time. This treatment therapy is complementary with other health care systems. The techniques Elen uses include: Acupuncture, moxibustion, Acupressure; Sound therapies; stretching, movement exercises, and hand yoga; eating with the seasons, and using food as medicine. Elen is available in Glendale on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and in Long Beach on Mondays and Fridays.. |
