I have to imagine the breath work Venus Rising and Elizabeth provide is more of a calling than a…read morecareer. It's clear it's a vocation for Elizabeth which makes it more present and genuine. And, it's a service the comes from word of mouth. I was referred to Venus Rising by a client and friend. Due to some physical health concerns and stress load in my life, I sought out a truly breakthrough therapy. I'd tried big pharma and counseling of various types yet came to understand I needed something more sustaining and from within. Understanding this may read as rather groovy and far fetched for some, I can assure you I'm your average well educated, well compensated, father and husband in his fifties who needed something different to address some behaviors and addictions. I am a graduate of UC Berkeley and student of both science and arts. Elizabeth's breath work has brought a calmness and peace of mind other methods lacked. There is no doubt for me this woman is in fact a healer. I'm still seeing Elizabeth and will revisit should I encounter setbacks but she placed me on a path to recovery that begins with me, benefits me, and benefits my family and critical role as provider, partner and father. It doesn't take courage, but have the courage to take the first step and contact Elizabeth. And by the by you needn't be in dire straits to get a wee bit of fine tuning either!

Sally has been my acupuncturist for almost 4 years and I think she keeps me alive. I suffer from a…read morechronic condition and thanks to her magic needlework, I rarely if ever see any effects. She has seen me through the recovery from a car accident, major abdominal surgery and other emotional dramas. She is also skilled in facial rejuvenation. Thanks to chronic pain and illness, my frown lines were very, very deep. She offered to show me how facial rejuvenation worked by just doing my frown lines while she was working on other things for me. She put in a network of needles and once they were out, the lines were bright red for about 15 minutes after. Then they disappeared entirely. OMG...my own mother asked me what cream I was using. I look 10 years younger. My volunteers at work have asked me when I am going to turn 30. If you are looking for great acupuncture or an alternative to plastic surgery or toxic botox, call Sally!

By far. the best (out of 7 total) rehab facilities I've ever been to. They actually do trauma…read moretherapy, and you get sessions with a licensed psychologist twice a week, in addition to your drug counselor. The very best therapists I have EVER worked with. And the best drug counselor I've ever had. I've been looking for therapy like this, and the answers I got at Olympia House, for 20 years. They are the most skilled, caring, and professional team of people I've ever worked with in mental health. I'm dual diagnosis, so I've been seeing professionals for my mental health for 25 years. Some of their curriculum is custom, developed in house by the psychologists there--you won't find tools like these anywhere else. I have a custom designed "addictive system" I use every day to track where I am in my recovery and mental health. I use this not only to prevent relapses, but correct myself if I run off course, and this works not just for substance relapses but also things like depression, anxiety, and anger. Their website doesn't reflect this, but they take Kaiser Permanente insurance now. That's the only reason I was able to come here. I know reviews are inflated on the Internet, but please trust me, I swear with every fiber of my being and every ounce of integrity I have, this is likely the best rehab in California. If you have trauma, and most people do, or some form of PTSD, this is the place you should go. They also focus on finding meaning and purpose in life--and they will definitely help you with that. They also allow you to come back to the rehab twice a year for 2-3 days for free! They call it a "tune up". No one else I know of does this. There's also free group therapy for alumni (a process group led by one of the therapists there) once a week via Zoom. I would wake up many times in OH in disbelief that this place exists at all, and that I got to be a resident here. They've made an enormous difference in the outcome of my life.

After the first session with Sandy, I knew I was in the right place. Sandy welcomed me into the first session with a bright smile and took the time to listen to my concerns and what I was hoping to get out of the sessions. I have participated in many sessions with Sandy and have been able to connect with parts of myself that had been dormant throughout my entire life, or as long as I can remember. Sandy helped me streamline the healing process from past trauma, but also aided me with my present concerns and issues. If I came into a session not knowing what step to take next in life, or if I had a big decision to make, Sandy would aid me in finding the answer within myself. I learned to trust my intuition, began to heal from my past, and I also made a lifelong friend. Thank you Sandy!

I appreciate her unique approach to therapy using modern therapy techniques and technology. I would only recommend Anne to my friends. With Anne, you have the feeling of a therapist who truly cares about your well-being. She is always compassionate, professional, and helpful during sessions. Her space is comfortable and healing. Finally, she doesn't try to keep people in therapy, but helps them heal so they don't need therapy. I disagree with the other review on this page. If you live in Sonoma and need a healing therapy session I would whole heartedly recommend Dr. Bearheart.
