I have included this page as a referral source for professionals whose services and/or products I have used and have had wonderful experiences with. The first part consists of people that I know personally, and are local to the Bucks County/Philadelphia areas as well as Central/Southern NJ. The second part consists more of global websites/catalog companies and E-newsletters that I have found helpful and insightful. I will be adding to this list periodically, so be sure to check back from time to time!

MASSAGE/CHIROPRACTIC/HOLISTIC HEALING MODALITIES

Dr. Suzanne Goss/Chiropractor 148 E. Maple Ave Langhorne Pa 19047 215.741.1300  Dr. Goss is one of the 5 Chiropractors that I currently enjoy the services of. I like that each has a different style and technique, and her style is somewhat gentle but I can also really feel the adjustment and the benefits immediately. She is the first chiropractor that I have been able to totally relax my head during the cervical adjustment! THAT says a lot!!Dr. Goss also brings an element of energy work into her practice that really sets it apart from others that I have experienced, AND she is located in the same office as me in Langhorne!!

Dr. Edward Sobel 135 Yew Rd. Cheltenham Pa 19012 215.576.0551
I work at Dr. Sobel’s 1-2 day’s per week, and all of his patients have nothing but great things to say about him. His style is very effective, somewhat old-school chiropractic. (I really love to ‘feel’ adjusted!) But it is his kind, caring, lighthearted, and compassionate demeanor that really comes across during his sessions.

Valarie Haag, N.D   Valarie is a Naturopathic Doctor and Reiki Master. I have currently received her reiki/crystal healing session and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! A great balance of feeling relaxed, energized and connected all at the same time. Her enthusiasm for her work is very contagious. She also offers various workshops on energy healing. . www.rainbowsofhealing.com   natuorpathincdoctor@msn.com  215.736.3803  

Dr. Mark Weglos, DMD  215.860.0738  Summit Square Center, Suite. 28C Rt. 413 & Doublewoods Rd. (Langhorne/Newtown). I had been searching for most of my adult life for the right dentist that I could trust, be comfortable with, who is gentle, knowledgeable, sincere and compassionate AND had a great staff that also was very welcoming…I was beginning to think I set my expectations to high until I found Dr. Weglos and his staff. I have had several minor procedures done at his office, and feel completely confident in his abilities.

Dr. Alan Magner, Physician Acupuncturist Penn’s Square Suite 107 400 Middletown Blvd. Langhorne Pa 19047 215.752.2230          What makes Dr. Magner different from other acupuncturists is that he also has a background as Medical Doctor. While he does not treat patients as a doctor anymore, he has the knowledge and experience to help you to know what to see your physician for, in conjunction or instead of the acupuncture treatments, and can talk to your physician for you to discuss your options. He is a calm, gentle man and I look forward to my sessions~ relaxing and more energy, very freeing…                                         

Laureen Pladdys, DC 200 Haddon Ave Haddonfield NJ 08033 856.795.8866 Dr. Laureen is very gifted and has a commanding knowledge of -and enthusiasm for- the human body. She has an integrated approach toward chiropractic care and overall health, and has a therapist on staff that specializes in Myofascial Release.

Jennifer Phillips N.D.  41 West Chestnut Ave Merchantville NJ 08109   856.488.7067  www.naturopathynj.com.  Dr. Jen is very knowledgeable and passionate about natural health, and really walks her talk.  I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with her if you would like to live a more balanced life, and learn more about nutrition and small changes that you can make for better health and well-being.

Dr. Michael Gorman

Chiropractic Physician

Gorman Optimal Health Solutions, Inc.

333 N. Oxford Valley Road, Suite 502

Fairless Hills, PA  19030

Dr. Gorman combines chiropractic and sports medicine with Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET). This helps get to the emotional cause of many ailments. Essentially, various issues can be traced back to emotions, structure (injuries, postures etc) or environment (the foods we eat, allergies, etc.)

This has helped me to be much more aware of my thought patterns, and things that I allow to hold me back from being and doing my best, as well as enjoy better overall health!

Dr. Christopher Aland (Orthodedic Surgeon)

582 Middletown Boulevard,
Langhorne, Pennsylvania (PA) 19047

(Fortunately I have not had to use Dr. Aland’s services personally, but had the opportunity to see him speak, and respect that he sees the body as a whole, including energetically. He also seems very down to earth and truly cares about his patients.) I have included him here because often I am asked who I recommend for this type of work, and he is the first that I have met that I would feel comfortable going to for this type of surgery. Please check for yourself if this would be a good fit.

Environmentally friendly resources will be included, as well as just learning to “PAUSE” in our own lives…what we can do to make a difference—to ourselves, friends, communities and globally.

Eric Mourrut~Massage Therapist. If you are ever in the Denver, CO area, DEFINITELY look up Eric! He is an exceptional therapist who is obviously practicing from the heart. I wanted to get a massage while out in CO, and didn't know where to look. I stumbled across Eric's website and made the appt. For some reason I thought it would only be 1/2 mile from where the shopping center was that my hotel shuttle dropped me off at...it was about 2 miles! And I would have had to walk back in the dark, in the city, after my massage. The massage itself was excellent; Eric has an integrated style and is very talented. When I told him what I did, he offered to give me a ride so I wouldn't have to walk!
