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.

Courtney Tribble, LMT - Golden Snail
Massage Therapy + Energy Work
Courtney Tribble has been a licensed massage therapist since the Fall of 2003. She received her education at the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Ithaca, NY, before moving to Columbia County to start a small organic farm with her husband.
Courtney believes massage is a wonderful tool for stress relief, as it creates needed time and space for one to let go of their thoughts and move into the realm of the body.
She practices integrative massage, interweaving slow, deeper myofascial/connective tissue therapies with circulatory-enhancing Swedish massage. This combination lends great relief to chronically sore muscles and accumulated tension.

What is a Shamanic Practitioner? They are one who bridge the seen and unseen worlds to bring healing, guidance and balance. Not necessarily belonging to any one tradition, they work in harmony with nature and spirit allies – like power animals, ancestors and elemental forces to restore balance to individuals and communities. A Shamanic Practitioner can use tools such as drums, rattles, breath, voice, feathers, stones and the teachings of the Medicine Wheel to track energy. This tracking shows the practitioner where a person’s energy is blocked or fragmented and help retrieve lost soul parts, clear attatchments and restore wholeness. The heart of their work is about connection – to self, others, the Earth and the web of life. They are not the ones doing the healing, but act as intermediator to bring the client back to their own power and innate healing abilites. They walk their path with high ethics and integrity, always working for the highest good of all.
Sara became interested in massage via 15 years as a runner and vegetable farmer. She is passionate about helping athletes and those whose jobs require feats of athleticism (and yes, that includes desk jobs: some tiny muscles really go above and beyond when we have to be on a computer!) She also loves helping parents in the prenatal and postnatal periods.
Knowing how intertwined our bodies and minds are, Sara creates a time and space where clients can relax and breathe while she works with tissue and the nervous system to encourage healing.
She offers Swedish, Sports, Shiatsu, and Pre-and Post-natal Massage.

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.
