With an extraordinary passion and love for life, John is dedicated to bringing about a lasting peace within himself and sharing his journey of Self discovery with all. He loves to travel and has been a featured speaker with Power Places Tours in Peru, Egypt, and Bali.
As a holistic practitioner, John utilizes his skills as a Licensed Massage Therapist and Reiki Master Teacher in his primary approach to healing. He also relies heavily on his intuition to include Guided Imagery, Hypnotherapy, Metamorphosis, and Craniosacral Therapy. Other certifications include Soft Tissue Release, Infant Massage, Aromatherapy, Lymphatic Massage, and Reflexology. He especially enjoys incorporating Mental/Emotional Therapies such as the “Journey” work of Brandon Bays and/or “The Work” of Byron Katie. His metaphysical and spiritual journey started in the early 1970’s through studies with organizations such as The Arica Institute, Self Realization Fellowship, and Science of Mind.
Eventually, a synthesis of these schoolings came together as John was being trained in Reiki. He finished massage school in 1991 and in 1994 was guided to open the doors of Insight Awareness. Since then, the lives of many people have been positively changed through workshops, classes, and individual session work.

-Shamanic Practitioner/Teacher
When I was introduced to Shamanism in the early 90’s, it brought understanding to a lifetime of experiences. Shamanism is a phenomenal spiritual practice and a great blessing in my life, both personally and professionally. During my many years as a Shamanic Practitioner and 8 years as a Shamanic Teacher, I have had the honor of witnessing healing for countless individuals and watched peoples’ lives awaken to new levels of consciousness, many times greater than they ever thought possible. I believe that Shamanic Practitioners offer services which work on limitless levels of our being and can access information and healing which is changing our world.
I honor the 'Inner Healer' within each individual and am dedicated to helping others find their own truths, strengths and gifts. I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge into my successful private practice. I have a bachelors degree in Psychology, I am a Certified Hypnotherapist and I am currently working on my Doctorate Degree in Divinity. I have trained with many Shamanic teachers, my greatest being Spirit, and I teach basic through advanced levels of Shamanic studies.
Donna is available by appointment.

Dr. Dorsey is a board-certified physician, Reiki master and musician. He graduated from Northwestern University Medical School in 1981 and has won various western medical hats including solo practice, group practice, medical staff president, department chairman, instructor and medical director. His interest in the metaphysical realm started in the early 1970’s and has always been a part of his regualr medical practice. He was fascinated by the work of Carolyn Myss and began studying medical intuition, chakras and archetypes in 1996. After developing a serious medical condition himself and having the standard western model fail completely, he was forced to turn to the complimentary/alternative path for healing and hope. This led to a much deeper understanding and embodiment of the principles of holistic medicine and the nature of energy itself. Unlike many physicians, he knows first-hand how body, mind and spirit cannot be separated, without causing furthur imbalance and disease. Using a diagnostic technique based on a 12 chakra system he identifies causes of illness and then charts a path towards creating optimal health. His methods incorporate bodywork, diet, psychology, spirituality, lifestyle, karmic astrology, western and eastern medicine and sound. He has studied Reiki with John Sparks, spiritual alchemy with Dr. Christine Page, Reconnective healing with Dr. Eric Pearl and metamorphosis with Cindy Silverlock. He is honored to be part of the Insight family and sees this model as the future of medicine.
Dr. Reneé Garrick

-Heart-Centered HypnotherapyTM
-Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
Dr. Reneé Garrick has an earned doctorate in education and has served in the field of education as a teacher and administrator for more than 30 years. Her spiritual quest and desire to address education in a comprehensive and holistic manner supported her interest in complimentary and integrative modalities. She has successfully combined her unique gifts of teaching and supporting the "wellness" goals of others in her private practice that expands more than 20 years. As a practitioner and therapist, Dr. Garrick has assisted children, adolescents, teens and adults accomplish their mind-body-spirit goals.
When asked how she knew the benefit of connecting the body and the conscious/subconscious mind, Dr. Garrick reflects on her support of teens during a visualization activity. "I worked with a student, known to have the classic characteristics of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder. He participated in one session of visualization and guided imagery. The student and his parents were amazed about the calm and focus he possessed afterward and the ability to replicate the techniques. The student felt so relaxed that his body and mind could be at peace. His testament was, "Hey, when are you going to let us float again!" Another teen, experiencing shock, ongoing trauma, and emotional challenges that caused severe instances of daily anxiety noted the next morning, "This was the first time I ever woke up without being in a knot." It was then, that my belief turned to a "knowing".
What the body-mind-soul stores inside, as a result of our life experiences can support or have an adverse impact on our daily lives. I desired to enhance my knowledge and expand my range of skills to address each wonderfully, unique client. Using everything from, energy work, Hypnotherapy, Yoga, Yoga Therapy Color Therapy and much, much more as one size (or technique) does not fit all has quickened a true passion to assist others in remembering the light that they are! I have studied with some of the best and world renowned teachers to continue my service as well as enhance my ever-deepening spirit-self. Celebrating the uniqueness of everyone, Dr. Garrick provides her service through private sessions, classes, and workshops. You are welcome to contact her for additional information and log onto her website- www.starbornwellness.com In the meantime..."Remember, you are the light!"

As an intuitive mind-body-spirit energy worker and certified LifeLine practitioner, Silvana's passion lies in supporting people in reclaiming their authentic self.
Grounded in the principle that our spirits are pure love and that our bodies are self-healing entities, Silvana utilizes the power of Infinite Love and Gratitude and the LifeLine TechniqueTM to help people unlock and reconnect with their infinite capacity to heal and manifest their highest potential. The LifeLine TechniqueTM is a life-changing integrative healing system that incorporates muscle testing to evaluate the body, mind and spirit using the innate intelligence of the body to pin-point the subconscious source of a symptom (the root cause). Once the root cause is identified and released, your body and life are free to do what they are naturally designed to do, heal and thrive!
Having mentored with a Blackfoot Native American Indian and having been humbled to learn the ways of the Lacota Indians, Silvana brings much of their teachings into her practice, including helping people reconnect with the wisdom and medicine of their animal guides (animal totems). The teachings remind us that we are all interconnected and that our relationship to Spirit, to the Divine, to Source energy, is the key to living from a place of respect, self love and inner peace.
Her own path to healing began in the early 1990's through her participation with Pathways to Successful Living, a deeply introspective personal growth seminar founded in the Chicago-land area. Her involvement with Pathways to Successful Living, as both a participant and staff facilitator, opened the door to a glorious world of self discovery that lay dormant for so many years and awakened the desire to be in service to others on their journey.
She excitedly awaits the opportunity support you on the journey of your self healing and achieving emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.

-Chinese Medicine Practitioner
-Diplomate of Acupuncture
-Medicinal Herbalist
-Stress Management
-Natural Solutions
Penny Will is a Chinese Medical Practitioner, Board certified and Licensed Acupuncturist, and Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild. She has studied alternative healing methods for over 30 years.
Chinese medicine is one of the oldest healing systems in the world. Today, it continues to promote health and wellness, and to provide effective and safe treatment for most modern illness as it has for thousands of years. Equating health with balance, symptoms of dis-ease are regarded as manifestations of an imbalance in energy. They tell us where to begin. Treatment goals are to restore balance to 'all of you' by resolving the cause as well as the effect. Dietary, nutritional and other lifestyle changes are often discussed and become part of the treatment plan, but our most commonly used tools remain acupuncture and herbal formulations.
Acupuncture is a Chinese map of the energy flow or the electrical circuitry of our bodies. Thin, hairlike needles are inserted in various locations in order to affect a change in that flow of energy - is it blocked, insufficient or excessive? The intent is to move it in the direction of balance. Plants are used for the same reason. The Chinese combine them into formulas according to their diagnostic principles. I use these formulas but I also create my own from my apothecary of both Western and Chinese botanicals. I blend whatever combination will be most beneficial to achieve this balance in each individual. During this process, the body begins to recover its balance and as it recovers it begins to heal. It is just the most amazing thing to be a part of.
Fees:
Initial Evaluation and Treatment - $75.00
Treatment - $50.00
Herbs - vary, approximately $10.00 per week
Penny is available by appointment on
