JACQUIE ELLIOTT Interviewed by Carolyn Esky, from the POINT KPOV 88.9 Why did you become a Spiritual Life Coach?

When I started Life Coaching, I saw that 80% of my clients got stuck in “tornado head,” a paralyzing spinning of thoughts and anxieties without resolution. I knew they needed help bypassing the head to go inward to resolve their issues. My own spiritual journey began over 26 years ago when I realized I couldn’t change my own thinking using my own thinking. I needed to tap into a higher power. It’s like a Tiffany lamp that’s beautiful as is, but when it's plugged into a source of power, it shines a light for others.

How does spiritual coaching differ from life coaching?

Both are designed to help clients set and reach goals to live their life purpose, but spiritual coaching works on a deeper level. I had a client that could not get past her fears and blocks with traditional therapy and coaching. After our spiritual coaching sessions, she let go of old thinking and family dynamics that held her back, instead she trusted her faith and intuition. She now has a new career and moved to a more spiritually nurturing environment.

parts so they work in harmony. I’ve seen incredible results.

What are you working on now?

I’m doing a 3-day Spiritual Retreat this fall, an opportunity to renew, refresh and connect. I’m also working on a TEDX talk called ABC’s of Abusive Brain Chatter—Aware, Believe, Change Your Core Beliefs. I share steps I took on my own journey from self-abuse to spiritual empowerment. I want to inspire others which is why I became a spiritual coach and motivational speaker. www.jacquieelliottclc.com

2 SPIRITUAL or RELATIONSHIP COACHING SESSIONS FOR $75

What kinds of results can one get from Spiritual Coaching?

I gently guide clients to find their spirit or a higher power, God, Source, Buddha, whatever one calls it, to let go of old beliefs and be guided to empowering new beliefs. Fear holds us back. When we learn to connect spiritually, growth and letting go happens naturally.

The opposite of fear is not courage, it’s faith. You can’t hold fear and faith in the same hand, you have to let go of one of them. I create sacred space to allow my clients to dialogue with different parts of themselves, including fear and a Higher Power, to integrate those

What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

Let's find out together. Schedule your sessions in person or on zoom to start creating the life or relationship you want.

The Center STRONG

Being an active woman my whole life, I was devastated to learn that I was going to need a new hip at age 51. The pain was keeping me from all the things I loved to do, so I decided to have outpatient total joint replacement at The Center. I felt really good about my decision.

My doctor had a great reputation and the staff answered all my questions… Read the rest of Darla’s story at TheCenterOregon.com.

Grateful for an Unbusy Season Ahead

2

021 has been my busiest work life ever. I've taken on too many side hustles, so many of us have as we PIVOT our businesses. I love all the things, there's just too many. Bill & I had so much fun creating branding features for the amazing Health Practitioners you will see in this Guide including their Youtube videos.

My massage practice exploded with clients begging to get in, sometimes 35+ calls/emails a week to fill 10 openings, my waitlist is long. I started my Realtor ® journey, working with a small handful of clients to start. I don't want to be overwhelmed with clients, like other Realtors. I aspire to have a bespoke Real Estate practice, where I truly focus on a few client's needs.

I updated the Bend Health Guide Website with a powerful SEO Online Directory. I raised money for our BHG Wellness Center, so far just enough for a YURT, but it is a start, if you want to contribute, you can donate on our Website, so greatly appreciated!

Then I saw a quote: "What will you give up to have the life you want?" It's not just giving up things you don't want to do, you have to give up some things you DO want to do because you can't do it ALL! You don't have the time and energy for everything and tomorrow is promised to no one. So I decided this Fall I will slow down. I want to take my time, enjoy my family and breathe it all in.

I wish this for you, too. I wish you enough this season.

estled into a 9-acre parcel at the intersection of Neff and Eagle Roads is the newly opened, 4000+ square foot space called Hanai, built by Kim and Tim Smythe. The Smythe’s moved to Bend from Hawaii in 1998. After selling their business in 2015, they dedicated themselves to giving back to the Central Oregon community that has given them so much. The couple created a place where people of all ages, from all backgrounds can gather to authentically

connect through programming and activities that support healing, nurture conscious connection and celebrate community. Hanai was created with the belief that abundant communities evolve from building meaningful relationships in welcoming spaces.

“Hanai is a Hawaiian word that is o7en translated as ‘to nurture’. Our vision is to become a community hub where individuals can let go of what doesn’t serve them and rediscover their true selves”, says Kim Smythe. “It is our hope that Hanai will help people authentically

connect to build bridges across generations and break down the fictional barriers that divide us as people and neighbors”.

“We want people to gather at Hanai and realize we are more alike than different.

We encourage people to leave their biases at the door as they enter Hanai.”

- Kim Smythe Hanai’s unique indoor and outdoor gathering spaces and commercial kitchen were designed to invite the outdoors in to honor mother nature and inspire courage,

creativity, conversation, and connection. The facility’s spaces are flexible and can be used individually for in2mate classes and workshops or reserved in its entirety for retreats, weddings or other community celebrations.

“We want people to gather at Hanai and realize we are more alike than different. We encourage people to leave their biases at the door as they enter Hanai. We want to provide access to transformative opportunities and we’re actively seeking relationships with practitioners who have complementary programs

and that adhere to our apolitical policy,” said Smythe.

Dr.Jasmine Low's advice for Supporting Kids going

BACK TO SCHOOL

By Pediatrician Jasmine Low, MD, FAAP

"Parenting is an adventure. You If you are worried about how to support your kids going back to school in a time of pandemic, you’re not alone. One thing that helps me, MINDFULNESS!

PAUSE In the morning, pause before you get started on the day, even if it means taking three deep breaths.

For bedtime, try this simple exercise with your child (and for yourself).

Think of one positive thing that happened today, hearing a bird sing or enjoying the blue sky. Take 10 seconds to breathe together. Then share a positive thought to end the day with. I used to tuck my son in with this short exchange: Me: “What are you going to do tonight?”

12

BEND HEALTH GUIDE | Fall 2021

don’t have to go it alone. Find joy in your journey."

Him: “Get bigger, stronger, healthier, and feel better.”

Kids are sponges, they pick up on our emotions, stress, and anxieties, then reflect them back to us. To benefit your children and yourself, pause, take stock of your own anxieties, stress and remember to breathe.

PLAN ROUTINES If you have a partner, set aside time to talk with them about both the big picture and specific things, bedtime, wake time and school day plans.

Get into a good bedtime routine in your household, our bodies thrive

on having predictability. Most kids tend to fall right into the family routine once they experience consistency and predictability.

This allows for less push-back, less whining, less “no” and more “yes.”

Consider routines as important as hand washing, discouraging your child from touching their eyes, nose, and mouth, staying up to date on vaccines, including flu and COVID-19 and eating well.

SEEK SUPPORT Check in with your healthcare provider for help navigating this process. Every family is different.

Medical providers are invested in getting to know your family so they can find out what works best for you.

Speaking for my family, I know it’s a lifelong effort, but baby steps can make a difference. Parenting is an adventure. You don’t have to go it alone. Find joy in your journey.

Dr. Low is a provider at Mosaic Pediatrics in Bend. She appreciates that Mosaic “truly ‘walks the talk’ in our mission to provide excellent care for the whole person.” She enjoys practicing medicine and getting to know her patients within this framework. She speaks medical Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and English.

Outside of work, Dr. Low enjoys running, hiking, indoor rock climbing, cooking and various outdoor and musical pursuits with her husband and two children.

The rate of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes continues to rise. Our life expectancy in the United States has turned a corner and has started to decline. One very important part of this equation is the change in America’s diet. High caloric food low in vegetable content is very abundant and relatively inexpensive.

4 PRO-TIPS for Everyday Gut Health

by Kryzia Olsen, ND LAc

T

he health of your digestive tract plays a pivotal role in your well-being, when it is not optimal it can lead to nutritional deficiencies, microbial imbalances, fatigue, anxiety and more.

Improving your digestion can make drastic improvements in your overall health and immunity. Optimize what you do (and don't) eat, digest, absorb, and eliminate. 4 Pro Tips to take control of your digestive health every day: Smell your food This jump starts the digestive process. You’ve probably noticed that when you see, smell, or think about food, you start to salivate, and maybe even get a stomach growl too, as your body prepares for the incoming food.

1

Chew your food, throughly Your stomach relies on your teeth to break down your food into more manageable mush. Not chewing enough can lead to indigestion or even heartburn after meals. Putting your fork down between bites helps ensure that you slow down and chew more.

2

Space your meals at least 3 hours apart This is because the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) exists— and it’s basically your digestive tract’s natural dishwashing system.

It starts 90 minutes after fasting, and takes 90

The MMC only turns on when you are in a fasting state, so as soon as you consume calories, it stops dead in its tracts until you are again fasting. Allowing the MMC to turn on throughout the day can make profound changes for those experiencing gas, bloating, and constipation, to name a few.

Poop daily Regular bowel movements are crucial for your health, because it is a main outlet for your body to take out its trash. Without regular bowel movements, you can over absorb cholesterol, hormones, and toxins. Ensure regular bowel movements by staying properly hydrated and getting enough fiber in everyday.

nfrared Biomat sessions support immunity by stimulating increased production of white blood cells called leukocytes and the most important killer T-cells by the thymus gland. It strengthens the body's resistance to viruses by increasing the production of lymphocytes and neutrophils. The most powerful effect of the Biomat Infrared is the shift of the nervous system from a “fight or flight” stress reaction to the parasympathetic “relaxation response.” The parasympathetic nervous system supports immunity, digestion, repair and recovery from stress.

The Biomat helps the body and mind recover, when added to a massage or reiki session, it takes a healing to the next level of calmness. Far Infrared Light is the farthest red portion of a rainbow or an electromagnetic spectrum. Researchers discovered Amethyst crystals were able to magnify this high frequency, Far Infrared light waves into the greatest spectrum of bio-availability, in essence making far infrared much more effective & easy for the body to absorb and use.

Infrared Biomat with Amethyst crystals delivers the deepest infrared heat, far superior to a sauna because regular heat has difficulty passing through our body’s own protective layers and skin. Far Infrared Heat magnified by

Biomat Infrared for pain relief from muscle spasms, sprains, strains, joint pain, arthritis, muscle injuries and improved sleep quality in patients with chronic pain. Biomat has had positive effects in research for patients with cancer, seasonal affect depression (S.A.D), autoimmune disorders and Chronic Pain.

If you’d like to try an Infrared Biomat, contact: KimimiHealingArts.com to learn more & if you are a health provider, you can also become a distributor.

Amethyst crystals can penetrate 6 inches deep to create intense heat causing cells to wake up, actually move, detoxify and begin a healing process. Infrared Sauna only reaches 2 inches in depth, never goes past the skin barrier and doesn't affect cellular health like a biomat does.

Biomat’s Far infrared rays are closest to sunlight’s frequency without harmful UV/UVB radiation.

NASA conducted the first research on Far Infrared spectrum 20 years ago, receiving scientific attention for its beneficial healing capabilities. Studies show Far Infrared stimulated production of healthy cell tissue, promoted faster relief from injury, decreased pain levels, eliminated cellular waste, encouraged detoxification at a cellular level and increased oxygen to tissues all while increasing blood circulation.

3 | WOOD TREE 1943, 1952, 1961, 1970, 1979, 1988, 1997, 2006 You are a tree in full bloom about to bear fruit. This will be your most energetic year, so if you've been wanting to make a big change, move homes or launch a new business, stars are aligning for it.

You have so much vitality to accomplish everything you've ever set out to do, but you will need exercise like trail running so you can sleep at night. Wear colors of a tree in Spring like kelly green. Stay rooted as you grow taller, a tree can only grow as tall as its roots distance underground.

4 | WOOD BAMBOO 1942, 1951, 1960, 1969, 1978, 1987, 1996, 2005 You are a bamboo or willow tree bending in the wind, life may throw you unexpected stressors, be flexible, make adjustments, allow for changes to take you in new directions. Be okay not knowing where you are going, just be in the moment & enjoy the ride! This would be a good year to expand your horizons or seek out a mentor who can help you on your path forward. Wear lighter mossy greens and khaki colors.

1 | WATER STAR 1945, 1954, 1963, 1972, 1981, 1990, 1999, 2008 Starting all over again, the 1st year in a brand new 9 year cycle & anything is possible! You're a seed of potential like an Acorn buried underground that will become a mighty Oak Tree. This is not a doing year, more an imagineering year, take time out to dream up your new life. Your mantra is "I am germinating."

This is a vital part of growth, be sure to nourish yourself with rest, drink lots of water & wear colors of blues & blacks.

You're a seed bursting open, unfurling, sprouting and pushing upward through heavy earth towards sunlight, it's a lot of work. This is a good year for strategic planning, course a direction you want to grow in, get ready to be ready, next year you will take off. Learn new ways to grow your business, set goals and cultivate relationships. An increased growth cycle is exhausting, take time for self care. Wear earthy colors of browns, golds and green tea. Try Earthing with your bare feet in the ground to stay rooted as you begin pushing upwards.

5 | EARTH CENTER 1941, 1950, 1959, 1968, 1977, 1986, 1995, 2004 You are a Center Star in the Center of it all now, there's so much chaotic energy whirling around you, it can be exciting and stressful. You'll have opportunity overload, as more people are depending on you than ever before, you might need to hire help. In an overwhelming year, don't make any changes, don't move or quit your job, though you may want to! It gets better next year. Friends and family are your greatest source of support. Root down with earthy colors of deep, dark browns and burnt orange.

8 | MOUNTAIN STAR 1938, 1947, 1956, 1965, 1974, 1983, 1992, 2001 This year is about inner transformations, like a caterpillar that goes into its cocoon to transform into a Butterfly, you will need more cave time to yourself, to go deep within and figure things out. Accept this time of hibernation, allow time for solitude, naps, self care, healing, journaling & Yin Yoga. Your home will be a place of refuge, so organize your home but do not move or travel, like a caterpillar in a chrysalis that should not move! You are in the year of the Mountain, so wear Mountain colors of dark browns, greens & earthy yellows.

CENTRAL OREGON DOULA M EG A N M E N D OZ A

H

i Bend! My name is Megan Mendoza, the proud owner of Central Oregon Doula. I am a certified birth and postpartum doula serving the tri county area for home and hospital births. My passion for birth work started after having a doula at my first birth in 2015. The way she weaved a web of communication and positive energy between myself and the hospital staff was inspiring. I carry that same spirit with me to every birth I attend.

Born right here at St. Charles, I am passionate about giving back to the community that helped shape me into the woman I am today.

The word doula loosely translates to a woman who serves. My favorite interpretation of the word doula is to mother the mother. Labor is a vulnerable place to be. Through your love language, I make it an empowering peak life experience and a love story you’ll be able to tell with joy to your child on the day of birth for you both. Doulas are chameleons. We jump in when needed and fade into the background when not. This includes giving your partner guidance so they feel of service as well. A doulas role is not to replace your partner/ OB/Midwife but rather be an invisible string to thread everyone on the birth team together.

Prior to birth, I offer three prenatal in-home visits. We talk about coping skills, birth wishes and go over any concerns or questions you have. From 37 weeks on I am available 24/7 for calls/texts. Once labor begins I will join you and help to guide you into motherhood.

My services also include two postpartum home visits to process your birth, lactation support and ease the transition of an earthside baby. Postpartum doula services are available after birth to empower you to feel confident in your skills through education and guidance.

My ultimate goal as a postpartum doula is to work myself out of a job by the time your baby is 12 weeks old. I am certified to accept OHP. I would be honored to be a part of your birth story.

ADVANCED HEALING THERAPIES Michael Hahn - Treating Newborns to Adults

Has anyone addressed restrictions around your spinal cord?

Strains in your nerves, arteries, bones or cranium?

Blocks in your energy flow? Tensions in your organs?

These are examples of the often overlooked issues that can cause longterm chronic pain and limitations. We get these types of restrictions from falls, accidents, surgeries and simply from using our body.

I therapeutically treat all tissue types helping to resolve stubborn, hard to treat issues while restoring natural movement and energy flow.

Michael Hahn LMT

541-241-7850 mmhahn.com OR State Lic # LMT-22604

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. -Albert Einstein

Rise & Shine planner Created through a shared passion for planning and th e search for a tool that fit the needs of inspired individuals.

Creating a Work-Life Balance During a P a n d e m i c by D r .

Kryzia Olsen, ND LAc

T

his pandemic drastically changed our collective perspective on work, as working from home is possible. Telework means work and personal life literally share the same space. This can make it difficult to separate work (and work stress) from home life, which can manifest as anxiety, overwhelm and burnout.

As Telework becomes the norm, we must overcome our natural tendency to let work spill over into home life.

32

BEND HEALTH GUIDE | Fall 2021

It starts by setting an intention that you are going to have work/life balance. Imagine what it would feel like to have more time for rest, play and simply enjoy living.

Envision what balance looks like? How many hours are you spending working versus living your life? How many vacations, etc? Once you set your intention, it's time to plan it all out.

I, personally, rely heavily on my Rise.Shine.Enterprise planner to actively create the life that I want to live. I look at my schedule and I put in clear work hours and specific start/stop times for tasks that need to get completed.

Putting in strict time allowances not only forces me to stay focused, but more importantly helps protect and honor my time.

I plan for work, but also my personal life. I schedule in weekly self-care, monthly weekend

getaways, quarterly vacations, more as needed, depending on work/life stressors. Adding this into my planner ensures that I am getting my much needed rest and recovery, which ultimately allows me to be more effective and efficient when I am working and happier overall. The most important step is the execution of it. Without action, even a perfect plan becomes a waste of time.

Start small, honor your time and boundaries, stay the course, and soon you will create the balance you want. www.riseshineenterprise.com

BEND HEALTH GUIDE | Fall 2021

Founded in 2015 by Hannah Turner, Wax & Wane candles originally was a way for Hannah to pay homage to her beloved home of the Pacific Northwest during a particularly harsh NYC winter.

Although we've moved back to Oregon, all of our scents are still carefully curated and inspired by the great outdoors. We find inspiration in natural beauty, long hikes in the woods, the smell of the first snow in winter, the breeze at a rugged coast. Many of our scents are inspired by our travels, experiences, and memories.

With a passion for creating eco-conscious and premium scented candles, Wax & Wane can be found at independent boutiques and shops throughout the world. Every candle is hand poured and mixed in small batches of just eight to ensure quality and attention to detail.

We believe in using healthy, environmentally friendly ingredients and all of our candles are vegan with fragrances that are never tested on animals.

House Bill 2493 |

J

OREGON HEALING PRACTITIONERS LICENSING

anuary 2022 Oregon will most likely pass a Licensing requirement for all healers who are not currently covered under other licensure. HB2493 started with a voluntary registry for alternative therapists that they could choose to join. It may be more enforced as time goes on as California suddenly decided to require Massage Therapy Licensing for ALL healers, even Art Therapists, that seems excessive. Once registered, an alternative therapy member may be subject to ethics coursework and other certification requirements. The benefits of joining include being covered by health insurances. This bill was created for both consumer protection but also practitioner protections against

liability or malpractice suits. It is controversial, some say it is taking away medical freedoms, others complain the state is trying to make money off healers. As a LMT of 23 years, I've always been licensed,

taken ethics coursework, bought liability insurance through AMTA. It seems unfair that anyone can just put a shingle up & offer healing services without any training or certification. Many of my clients

have said they would never go to an unlicensed healer, so it may benefit healers to have legitimacy.

Sometimes unlicensed healers will dabble in modalities such as tuning forks by purchasing them online with no proper training.

As someone who trained with Acutonics for 3 years at Bastyr University, we might all benefit with certification requirements in more alternative therapies.

I spoke with 2 experts Gail Jett of Advanced Healing Energetics, Licensed Nurse & LMT, Dr. Melinda Connor & Katelyn Connor who sat on the board for HB2493, you can watch their video on our BHG YOUTUBE Channel & got to bendhealthguide.com for a link to read the whole bill.

BEND HEALTH GUIDE | Fall 2021

Marketing Y

outube has surpassed TV & Social Media to become the most viewed platform, everyday millions are going there to be inspired, informed and entertained.

I know my family watches more Youtube than TV now. Google owns Youtube, so it has become a pivotal aspect in their search engines. If you search for a Chiropractor in Bend, then you will also see videos by local Chiropractors pop up because google wants you to go to Youtube.

We started our BHG Youtube Channel in 2020 & we’ve included Videos as part of our Branding Features.

The first year, no one wanted to do it, everyone was so scared of being on camera. So I decided to start doing Astrology reports, mostly to show our advertisers, you don’t have to be “Perfect” to be on Youtube, just be yourself! I made a goal to do a New Moon & Full Moon report for every month of 2021. What surprised me was how incredibly effective it was for getting Astrology Chart clients, I’ve sold over $18,000. in Astrology Charts this year, from just doing 2 Videos per month! So this Fall Guide, I was able to convince our Branding Features to do Videos & we had so much fun. I encourage you to go to our channel & check them out, please subscribe so we can further support our community & continue to grow our channel!

If you would like to be featured on our Youtube Channel, we include videos as part of our Branding Features, along with photos & a full page to tell your story in our Guide.

If you are interested in learning more about how to start your own Youtube Channel & you want help creating content, reach out to us bendhealthguide@ gmail.com. We’d be happy to help you get started & Bill has been taking some great Videos for other channels as well. Find WTSweigert Photography at wtsweigertphoto.com
