My family and I are extremely grateful to Dr. Tim, Dr. Greg, Amy Howell and Gary Black for their continual care! Dr. Tim has been working with our 6 year old son to help identify the root to his allergies. His precision in finding a constitutional remedy for our son to balance his system has been impressive to observe! After just four appointments, our son no longer complains of sneezing, itching, eyes or nose when he plays outside. This is a huge improvement! We are forever grateful to "our Dr. Einstein"! Another impressive physician at the Heart of Wellness to whom we are forever grateful, is Dr. Greg. Dr. Greg possess a wide range of skills that is proving to have an instantaneous affect on our son. His muscle testing is spot on and his ability to help patients with a Mental Field Therapy called, Tapping has been instrumental in our sons improved health. Dr. Greg has showed our son how to use the Tapping technique to alleviate congestion since his heightened immune response may most likely be a conditioned response which can be broken. I have witnessed my son release sounding stuffing almost immediately. Thank you Dr. Greg for sharing this amazing technique with us! You are clearly a dedicated physician who goes above and beyond to help your patients! Lastly, I would like to compliment the Myofascial experts at the Heart of Wellness, Amy Howell and Gary Black. My wife has been seeing Amy for almost 2 years and I just began seeing Gary Black this month. Both practitioners are able to flawlessly target inflamed and restricted parts of ones body, provide gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue and eliminate pain and restore motion. Its a therapy that I believe everyone should explore. The therapy is life changing! Amy and Gary are experts at helping others reclaim their health!

In the last 7 years I have had 6 different primary care doctors. Ive been with Dr. Diana Duncan now for a little over a year. All the doctors before Dr. Duncan just wanted to prescribe me pills and more pills. They never cared about finding out was actually wrong with me. They just wanted to treat my symptoms and send me on my way. I honestly felt like I annoyed them most of the time when I came in, whether I came in for a routine check up or had a new issue or was having a negative reaction to the medications they prescribed me. Besides one other doctor I had to stop seeing because of insurance company changes and Dr. Diana Duncan Ive been very disappointed with the level of care Ive received from my doctors as an adult. It felt like they didnt care enough to help me figure out what was causing my issues. I never felt that way with Dr. Duncan. She attentively listens and gives me thoughtful, honest answers. If she doesnt know the answer to something she tells me honestly what she knows and then looks it up for us to discuss further during our next app. if need be. I believe she actually wants to help me feel my best and find out whats going on with my body. She has helped me more than any other doctor Ive ever had. Especially with changing and understanding my food choices and restrictions and how they relate to a lot of my issues She is what I grew up thinking all doctors would be like. I would strongly recommend Heart of Wellness to anybody. I also really appreciate the support staff always being so warm and helpful. Its always easy/stress free and comfortable dealing with the reception and billing. Thank you Heart of Wellness :)

Western Allopathic medicine is capable of amazing things when confronting acute health problems. I once broke my arm and was happy to have an M.D. piece me back together. However, more often than not the health challenges we are confronted with tend to be more chronic in nature. That is where western medicine does not always have all the answers. In fact, this is just where more naturopathic, alternative, and traditional medicines and approaches such as Chinese Medicine can be very helpful. So, we often find ourselves traveling from one health practitioner to another attempting to repeatedly explain to them all what is going on with our selves without the benefit of them working together on our behalf. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was one place you could go where a variety of complimentary practitioners could work with you under one roof and easily communicate with each other and yourself? Maybe some day in the future. But, if you live in the greater Olympia area, you needn’t wait any longer. The future is here with Heart of Wellness. I had been dealing with a life long chronic health problem and had seen a variety of practitioners to no avail. Then I visited Heart of Wellness. After a couple of visits with one of their specialists, I was symptom free. Heart of Wellness brings the synergy of complimentary practitioners under one roof. It’s worth a visit. I’m glad I did.

I am very impressed with all aspects of the Heart of Wellness. The charming and homey clinic is light and bright, surrounded by trees that seem to be "holding space" for peace and healing. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The heart- centeredness is seen in even the restroom where a happy red heart graces the soft diaper changing station. Other pleasing features are the heated treatment tables, soft soothing music and a Medicinary staff that creates customized herbal formulas according to each care givers insrtuctions I had the privilege of working with David Lerner Acu, EAMP, who also does Nutritional Counseling. He is a true healer, working from his open, intuitive heart, as well as from his many years of experience and knowledge. Not only did he use his acupuncture and Chinese herbal artistry to facilitate my healing, but he also took the time to research on line an adjunct ointment that was exactly what I needed. He also gave me referrals to other practitioners who could support me in areas outside his own realm. David is gentle, compassionate, and extremely competent at what he does. I credit him with my relatively quick healing of a skin condition that is known to be difficult to heal (peri-oral dermatitis). I am so grateful I chose the Heart of Wellness and David Lerner.

I saw Dr. Cornu-Labat at Heart of Wellnessto get some feedback on several longstanding health issues. I was impressed by his credentials as a medical doctor, surgeon, and holistic doctor. In our time together, he pointed me to very specific things I could do (tests, etc.) and gave me information about how long I would have to take certain nutritional supplements before I would see results. (The original doc who prescribed these supplements had neglected to give me this information.) Dr. C-L zeroed right in on the essence of my situation, with a recommendation for addressing it. No other doctor would have dared to mention the elephant in the living room. If you want to see someone who is skilled in Western medicine and naturopathy and is not afraid to think outside the box--and someone who has a friendly and engaging manner -- I highly recommend Dr. Cornu-Labat (also called Dr. Gaston).

Its hard to find the words to describe this healing place. Ive only discovered it in the last 2 months and Im sorry I didnt know about it sooner. The Heart of Wellness truly is what the name implies. All of the practitioners that I have come into contact with really care about your well being. There is a sliding scale group acupuncture available from Fred Klemmer. I have been fortunate to find him. And massage therapist Manuela Egolf is a very knowledgeable therapist that I have seen 3 times now. Shes absolutely the best one Ive ever been to, and thats saying a lot, really. Its an amazing place that offers so much including nutrition counseling and products on site for sale, massage, acupuncture, psychological counseling and numerous other things. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
