What does Don do? He can literally heal physical illnesses, he can remedy any mental confusion or…read moredepression, he can heal emotional trauma and so much more. It is very difficult to articulate what he does and what he is capable of doing, not to mention how he does it, which is a mystery. I honestly don't think there is anything that Don can't help you with, and that is saying a lot. Don will address your mind, your physical body, your energy/spirit body and your soul. Whenever I encounter someone who is having a physical issue, I give out Don's number. If someone mentions they are having a really hard time or feeling depressed or anxious. See Don. Having a problem with your back or pain? See Don. Having fertility or pregnancy related issues? See Don. Having an energy block, or feeling icky, moody or simply not your best self? See Don. Cancer or heart related issues? See Don. I have referred countless family, friends and clients to him because I know in my heart, he will help them like no other. One of Don's many gifts is the ability to understand how to speak to each person as an individual, not just anyone is capable of this. He never judges, no matter what. And no matter what you've done or said he will remain steadfast with empathy. Did I mention he is gifted? When I think about Don and how to describe him to someone who doesn't know him a lot of things come to mind. He is a healer, a true healer with the most magical abilities that are truly out of this world. He is known and referred to as a Shaman, a Cranial Sacral Therapist and he is also a Teacher. He is sharing his knowledge and his gifts through the classes and curriculum he created when he started the Sacred Journey Institute. I think if you are new to Don you would want to know or be assured that he is not only knowledgeable and insightful but has an attitude and demeanor that puts you right at ease. I would say Don's approach is very welcoming, compassionate, and empathetic, which is critical when discussing very personal and sometimes challenging issues. I think anyone who has met Don would say his energy is on a level that is not normal/typical. His knowledge is incredibly vast and informative. Don is always present, articulate, wise, and the most intuitive person you will ever meet. People will often throw around the phrase "holding space" for someone. Don is the quintessential person of holding space, and his Sacred Journey Institute has taught many others how to do what he does. Years ago, before seeing Don I had no clue what holding space meant, nor was I familiar with "inner work" and so much more. I can giggle at my naivete, and how ignorant I was with just about everything. And I still have a lot to learn. The sacred holding space that Don creates allows him the ability to do deep healing. What can you expect when you book a session? You may very well have one of the most powerful healing sessions you've experienced. Don has the ability to meet you where you are. And he has the uncanny ability to know exactly where you are at and he won't push. After a session I literally feel lighter. I am kinder, I am way more relaxed, and I've noticed any anger and other icky feelings I may have had are no longer with me. If you are seeking better physical health, healing, clarity or personal growth then these are all areas he can help you with. I should also mention that Don does remote work, and this was pre-covid. When he originally mentioned doing remote work on someone, I was so naïve - I had no clue he could heal and tap into someone's conscious without being in the same room with them. So, if you do not live in Illinois fear not, Don can conduct a remote healing session. Lastly, I want to mention that I've had the pleasure of referring a few, what some people would say are "high profile" families. Don like a true medical professional is discreet, respects privacy and confidentiality. I encourage anyone new to try a therapeutic massage or cranial sacral session, you will know almost immediately whether he is a good fit for you. For me, I have profound respect and deep admiration for the life changing work Don is doing at Beyond Wellness. I am beyond grateful for his healing and highly recommend booking a healing session.

Lisa Alvarez is a highly knowledgeable and compassionate healer who refreshes her practice with…read moreresearch proven, ongoing, cutting edge holistic training. Plus, her clinic is as relaxing as a spa: I feel soothed the minute I step inside! Upon separate occasions, Lisa greatly helped me recover quickly from two knee replacement surgeries as well as a hip fracture from a serious fall. Furthermore, her cutting-edge, e-stem acupuncture has been immensely healing, much more effective than dry needling. In fact, my physiotherapist told me I healed very quickly and he always found his clients who use acupuncture heal more quickly. In addition, Lisa provides other organic supplements, holistic therapies as well as topical pain relievers. These have been key for not only for my illness / injury recoveries they have helped me remain healthy as well as feel and look youthful. When Lisa opened Healing Foundations, I had been seeing another acupuncturist for over ten years. After seeing her, Lisa soon became the acupuncturist my I recommend to all my friends. I truly can't say enough about Lisa, she is a gifted acupuncturist!

I recently returned for a 90 minute massage with Tony after 1 year since my last (and first…read moremassage). My first experience with Tony was awesome and unlike any other massage experience I've had! This visit exceeded my last one! The massage area is really cool and eclectic with every square inch covered with messages, chimes, lights, sounds that call in good energy into the space. It would be hard to imagine not feeling immediately calm in the space. We sat down to chat briefly before my service and I was invited to pull a tarot card and read about its meaning before we began. It resonated with my current situation. My actual massage experience was multi-faceted and multi-modal. Tony guided some parts with a guided meditation, and at some points assisted breath work for deeper releases. I honestly don't want to spill the beans with all of the special treats that come along in this massage experience so that other therapists aren't tempted to co-opt the approach! I think the benefit of Tony operating out of his own facility is that he can control how and what he offers in his service offerings without having to follow a cookie cutter approach for exactly the same thing for every customer! Definitely recommend trying his services and I will return!
