Holistic Resources Directory
Provided here is a free directory we’ve compiled of local healing arts practitioners and businesses in Northern Columbia County, NY and some surrounding MA areas.
In our view of healing arts we include a wide range of supportive therapies including nature based practices, farms, creative arts, and movement based services as well as alternative health centers and practitioners of alternative health.
We have not necessarily visited businesses and practitioners listed here, so we can not personally vouch for the quality of their craft.

As fully licensed physicians we treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our medical training as osteopathic physicians gives us a DO degree (Doctor of Osteopathy). We learn all the same material as our MD colleagues (DOs and MDs are the two equivalent types of fully-licensed medical physicians in the US). In addition, however, our DO training offers unique, in-depth work with anatomy in the context of treating our patients as whole people, not just as catalogs of symptoms. This unique training allows us to work with our hands using gentle, precise and medically astute approaches to help your body heal.
Because we have all of the current medical pharmacopeia, nutritional science, and full medical training at our disposal, your individual treatment may include a wide range of approaches, but will always be founded on our gentle hands-on work.
Also offering Osteopathic Treatment for Horse and Rider.

Mixing my love of dance & Pilates, I discovered the perfect fitness: Barre. After being a student, I went to Brooklyn to become certified in Barre Above. I’ve been teaching Barre (and occasionally burlesque) for a combined total of 8 years. I’ve seen the life changing results in both myself and my students.
There is nothing like Barre! And nothing like the twist and spin I put on it. I’ve got restorative barre classes, perfect for a beginner or those recuperating or just in need of a mellow juicy class.
Outdoor classes in the summer.
Brittany also offers Life Coaching.

I have cultivated skills and keen perception over a 20-year career that allow me to work with whatever you bring to the table, building on your strengths while revealing and challenging weaknesses. Using both the apparatus and mat work, we will dive deeply into the flow and nuances of Pilates to help you find and express your unique embodied form in movement and to develop a practice that meets you where you are.
As your awareness grows, you will learn to unravel physical tensions and restrictive mental patterns, developing the strength and resiliency to move with freedom and grace while resetting your body for optimal health, strength, and flexibility.
