After benefiting from community acupuncture's healing environment and affordability many years ago,…read moreI was excited to discover that Bend has a clinic offering a similar opportunity. Mark's attentive, empathetic listening and skill as a practitioner were especially comforting and beneficial. The peaceful and professional nature of the clinic feels unique and provided me with much-needed reprieve while I was experiencing both physical pain and emotional overwhelm. Mark's familiarity with other healing modalities I've been using lately was also very helpful, and I'm especially grateful that he graciously supplemented the acupuncture with Zero Balancing multiple times. I'm very much looking forward to receiving treatment at Bend Community Healing the next time I'm in town and highly recommend it to anyone seeking holistic, intentional, and compassionate care.

Review Bend Community Healing…read more As a retired Licensed Massage Therapist and Reiki practitioner, I can say that Mark not only embodies the spirit of Healing, as evidenced by his generosity, kindness and caring, offering affordable treatments and therapies. I have been receiving acupuncture and other body work most of my life for chronic and acute conditions, and he is a skilled acupuncturist and Zero Balance practitioner, and he has helped me tremendously in the short time I've been seeing him. He holds a very loving and accepting space for his clients no matter how much they can or can't pay. My dream is that many more therapists of all kinds will follow his lead in making their services more accessible.

She approaches each session with compassion, empathy, and respect. I continually booked with Athena for 3 years and through her professional guidance in somatic therapy and Reiki sessions my journey of self discovery and healing is filled with positivity, joy, confidence, and direction for my life. I was a broken person emotionally and mentally with severe addiction to alcohol and through my work with Athena I am now living my best life filled with self love and worth.

Athena is absolutely AMAZING!!! When I first started therapy with her, I was basically a "Basket…read moreCase", drinking way too much, listening to the childhood tapes in my mind, and burying several traumatic events in my Life. I was a very negative person. Athena has a true PASSION for her work and for helping others. She is SO Warm & Welcoming; I was immediately comfortable sharing parts of my Life that I had never shared with anyone. Literally after ONE session with Athena I was sleeping better and the tapes that had been running through my mind stopped! I have re-gained my positivity and Love of Life thanks to Athena. I will continue to use her as a Life Coach. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS TRULY GIFTED WOMAN.

One of my favorite places on earth! The tranquility at Breitenbush is unparalleled, and having no…read morecell service is part of that. I get a much-needed phone detox there. Stay for a few days, or plan ahead for your day visit - they often are booked for private events and you will get the most out of your stay if you are able to deeply relax and take in the full experience. I find the food to be nourishing and usually delicious. If seeing other people nude in the hot springs weirds you out, this may not be the place for you, and that's ok! The nudity is respectful, non-sexualized, and I have always felt 100% safe being nude her as a woman. Your nervous system will benefit from the deep peace, wonderful yoga/massage experiences available, and the respectful community. So grateful this precious haven has been rebuilt so beautifully after the fires several years back.

Surprised to see some poor reviews here. My partner and I booked a one night stay this past weekend…read more(Jan 2026) and had a lovely relaxing stay. A few things: 1. This is not the type of place you can just roll up to, you should def plan your stay in advance and read the website and FAQs before going. 2. Perhaps we hit it on a good weekend or during the low season, but fortunately, it was not super crowded for us. If you have the opportunity to visit in the evening, that prob would be best though as there weren't more than 2-3 other people in the sauna or hot spring at any time them. 3. I saw complaints about the food not being good - again, maybe we hit it on an atypical weekend, but for vegetarian and gluten free meals, the food was pretty good! For dinner, we enjoyed a pretty nice lasagna with some amazing, fresh greens for salad and the following morning we had frittata, oatmeal, fresh fruit, and hard-boiled eggs. Also, if you find the food bland, there were plenty of hot sauces, condiments, dressings, etc to season it to your taste. 4. I think a lot of people have the expectation that this is a luxury spa resort... it's not. You're not getting gourmet buffets or fancy lodging and beds. It's def pretty rustic, but we found our stay to be comfortable and the amenities to be quite sufficient and most of all, it offered the peace and respite from the real world that we were seeking.

For the past 3 weeks I've taken Mary Ellen's somatic movement workshop, and it's been wonderful. A different and interesting way to look at movement. Surprisingly after doing gently movements on the mat, I walk away feeling more in my body and less stiff. I highly recommend!

I highly recommend Kent to any aspiring yoga practitioner, whether just starting out or experienced and wanting to enhance or deepen your practice. Not only do I get a good stretch and workout, my subtle energy body gets a boost and I feel spiritual attuned to my body. If you don't know what that means or that sounds crazy, take Kent's classes! You'll know what I mean.
