Craig Amrine isn't just a licensed acupuncturist; he's also an adjunct professor at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, a martial artist, a yoga instructor of 12 years, and a former ceramic engineer who holds 18 different patents and who has designed his own cold-laser devices for use in cold-laser therapy. Along with his main clinic, he has clinics at a mixed-martial-arts training center and a skydiving facility, where he treats everything from back pain to emotional problems. His own background, combined with the knowledge he’s gained from treating athletes and nonatheletes alike, has given him a unique perspective on using science and traditional Chinese medicine to fix a wide range of health problems.

Dr. Esti Bakty’s special interest in pain management and naturopathic oncology is personal. After a car accident left her with chronic pain, she began exploring healing methods and entered a four-year medical program. During that time, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. A determined Dr. Bakty began working in tandem with oncologists and her mentor from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine to get her mother back to health. After meeting that challenge and completing her formal education, she embarked on her own mission to help her clients manage concerns such as weight gain, chronic illness, fatigue, and arthritis.

Today, Dr. Bakty integrates Eastern practices with Western medical services to tailor each treatment to individuals’ needs. Acupuncture sessions may mesh with hormone-replacement therapies to bolster overall well-being, or cosmetic treatments such as Botox can address aesthetic concerns. Whatever the desired outcome, Dr. Bakty takes time to consult with patients, ensuring that she can outline an effective wellness plan and learn their favorite birthdays.

As a former member of the medical field, Angelica Valdivieso, colon hydrotherapist and founder of Detox For Life, has spent the last decade combining her knowledge of medical techniques with her menu of restorative alternative techniques. Angelica and her team of hydrotherapists and nutritionists oversee closed-system colon-hydrotherapy services designed to flush out toxins and waste material, leaving clients with a sense of lightness not experienced since their last pillow fight on the moon. To further vanquish toxins from the body, Angelica and the team administer ear coning, a method that helps to draw debris and molds from the ear canal, and ionic footbaths designed to detox the body of heavy metals.
