Having received years of chiropractic care, Sturgeon has experienced the transformational effects of having pressure and stress holistically removed from the body's nervous system. She takes joy in healing injuries incurred from automobile accidents, sports, and gigs as Betty White's stunt double. She also treats poor posture using a synthesis of holistic techniques and medical knowhow. Transcendent Chiropractic is located inside Desert Bloom Acupuncture.

The Fix Community Acupuncture owner Kelly LeGendre knows firsthand the healing potential of acupuncture. When her celiac disease went undiagnosed, Kelly turned to the holistic treatment for relief from her symptoms, which included depression and fatigue. Now a licensed acupuncturist herself, Kelly aspires to help others in similar fashion at her facility. There, Kelly and fellow practitioner Emily Thompson conduct acupuncture treatments in a community setting, similar to traditional sessions in Asia. They aim to alleviate an array of conditions, from back pain and insomnia to infertility and migraines.

At A Time of Healing, practitioner Felice DiAnna aims to boost clients' well-being by channeling chi, or life-force energy, in an effort to aid the body's natural ability to heal. During reiki sessions, she places her hands at strategic points on and above the body to rebalance the chakras and clear/heal the energy pathways thus allowing the life-force energy to flow in a healthy and natural way. This promotes recovery from a host of physical and emotional ailments. Reflexology sessions similarly help relax and heal clients, as Felice targets sources of disharmony through corresponding points on the feet and hands.

Master of acupuncture and oriental medicine Stephen Wolf operates under the premise that illness represents an imbalance in the body, and he attempts to correct those imbalances with holistic treatments culled from ancient Asia. Combining acupuncture with herbal medicine and Chinese bodywork, Stephen tunes the body by attempting to harmonize the internal energy traditionally known as chi. By freeing up the body’s flow of chi and preventing pro wrestlers from entering the office and shouting, Stephen helps patients overcome a range of emotional and physical ailments.
