MAGDA MISCHÉ, Reg.Pharmacist, N.D. Dr. Magda Misché has been serving the San Juan Islands since 1990 - initially as a Registered Pharmacist at Ray’s Pharmacy, and now as a Naturopathic Physician (N.D.) in downtown Olga. Dr. Magda’s work combines the many perspectives of her extensive 30+ years of study and training. Dr. Magda began her health career with a 5 yr. B.S. degree in Pharmacy, firmly committed to standard medicine. Years later, her perspectives expanded into a 5 yr. N.D. degree from National College of Naturopathic Medicine, where she learned how to assist the body to heal itself, prevent illness, and offset undesirable effects of pharmaceuticals. Complementary healing modalities followed – now the package includes bodywork, classical homeopathy, psychology, shamanism, spirituality, and belief management. Yes, there are many paths to wellness! As many facets as you wish to explore may be utilized for your journey, whether it is simply doing routine lab work and getting a “tune-up,” or delving into the deeper issues of how your health relates to your life. You decide, and together we create an individual plan that works for you. Dr. Magda specializes in immune system enhancement; tonifying the metabolism 10

Dr. Alexandra Gayek works with adults with chronic and recurring issues of all kinds. She has a special interest in pain and stress-related problems, ADD, anxiety, and difficulty getting yourself to do what you believe you “should” do for yourself. Her personal health journey resulted in a miraculous healing, which led to her passion for helping others with conditions that, like hers, had not responded to any treatment or medicine. Dr. Gayek completed a residency at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine after earning her N.D. degree there, then went on to join a top practice in Seattle. She brings 30+ years of study, training, and practice to Orcas. Dr. Gayek does a great deal of her work online and by phone, coaching people worldwide with an intuitive, empowering mind-body approach to wellness. For those open to this approach, chronic or repeating problems in any system in the body—whether from illness or injury--often improve in ways unexplainable by standard medicine. Results are often swift and longer-lasting, and allow you to drop your reliance on expensive and painful lab tests, medication, and surgery, if you choose. The process is as quick or gradual as your readiness for wellness allows, and complements all other therapies and medicines.

Neurofeedback full circle counseling Steven Gresham, Ph.D., C.D.P. “Neurofeedback, or EEG Biofeedback, is a non drug learning procedure that enables you to improve mental functioning, normalize behavior and stabilize emotional, learning & stress-related problems. NFB is a technique that enables a person to alter their brainwaves and create new neuropathways. Non-invasive sensors are connected to specific sites on the surface of the scalp. The sensors enable the brain wave patterns to be displayed on the computer screen. By placing the sensors strategically on the head, specific areas of the brain can be trained to replace abnormal rhythmic patterns with normal rhythmic patterns. While looking at game-like displays on a computer monitor, you learn to control the activity of the brain for effective learning. It is like playing a video game with your mind. Once the brain’s normal patterns have been restored, the neurofeedback training is no longer necessary.” 1286 Mount Baker Road, B-208, PO 363, Eastsound, WA 98245 Phone: 360-376-6181 • Fax: 360-376-6182 See display ad on page 15.

RACHEL NEWCOMBE, L.I.C.S.W. Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis I am a psychoanalytically trained therapist working with individuals and couples looking to understand why they are having difficulties in their lives. There are aspects of our minds that remain unconscious yet they have an enormous influence on the choices we make. Talking openly in therapy is an effective way of understanding how your choices and behaviors are influenced by thoughts that are not yet conscious. In our work together I will help you listen more attentively to your own thoughts and associations in order to expand your awareness, allowing you to see new options in your life. I believe the intimacy of the therapeutic process allows individuals to have a rich relationship with their internal life and with others.
