FOUNDERS DESK
Gina and Farid Tabrizy are two people who are deeply committed to the health and healing of everyone they come in contact with. Spiritual seekers who are experts in a range of multi-disciplinary arts, therapies, and philosophies, they sought to create a space where people in need of awakening, healing their body from addictions and other disorders, and optimizing their mind could come and receive treatment.
Gina and Farid treat each patient as the individual they are, working to create an individualized plan that will work the patient towards not just health, but optimal health. In the process of this healing, many people find that they experience a spiritual awakening of sorts, and find themselves naturally gravitating towards their higher purpose and activities that support this growth.
