Ah, the start of a new year! A blessing for business and a blessing
for all of us who anticipate new opportunities within the next twelve
months. Since the earth-shattering events of September 11, 2001, we
are often reminded that what is nearest and dearest is closest to home.
This can be said for our own local Wellness community as well. Please
patronize the people who offer our state the wealth of healing arts.
We are family. . .
Raven Bear Studio
David and Susan Luce bring you a full spectrum of cozy healing for the
mind, body, and spirit at Raven Bear Studio. The name is a blend of
their personalities and their life work as a couple: Raven is the creator
in Native traditions while Bear is the healer. Susan even has the drum
on which their logo magically appeared during one of her many creative
journeys. Thus, Raven Bear Studio was founded in Dillingham 10 years
ago.
Now in Anchorage, Raven Bear Studio features many wonderful healing
modalities. For starters, the studio boasts a luxurious hot tub to soften
your achy muscles for their delightful massage. Susan and David use
only organic therapeutic grade essential oils. (Psst! Susan sells these
exquisite oils either retail or wholesale.) Susan also offers classes
in the basics of full body massage to couples, partners, or friends.
Susan and David bring a wealth of knowledge to their work. Both are
Reiki Masters, licensed Massage Therapists with expertise in a variety
of fields, Aromatologists (students of the use of essential oils), and
dedicated teachers of self-help. David, a Registered Yoga Teacher, instructs
students in the art of maintaining a supple, pain-free body. David offers
both personalized Hatha Yoga instruction as well as Yoga Therapy sessions
designed to still the mind. When asking yourself the perennial question,
"What shall I get my honey to really show I care?" consider a gift certificate
for any one of the fabulous offerings at Raven Bear Studio!
To contact Susan or David, call 561-9609 (outside Anchorage 888-590-9609)
or check their web-site at www.ravenbear.net.
And for those of you in the bush who wish you could take advantage of
some fine healing arts, Susan visits Dillingham regularly to do massage,
and David offers Yoga classes in Cooper Landing, Kodiak, and Seward.

Tarot Card Readings with Pepper Shaykin
If you want to get a head start on the New Year, an appointment for
a Year-Card Tarot Reading with Pepper Shaykin is just what the doctor
ordered. Some of Pepper's clients span three or more generations of
the same family. That is what I call a referral! Pepper has developed
a unique body of research, which she brings to all of her Tarot Card
readings. She incorporates birth and other significant dates and events
to accurately describe the overall theme and flow of each year. What
is completely amazing is that Pepper addresses the confluence of elements
from past, present, and future and how they impact your reading.
But, the story goes on. . . regardless of the Tarot spread she uses
or the questions you present, Pepper gives you advice at the deepest
levels of spiritual and personal growth, outlines actions you may take,
and focuses on what will enrich your life. She also offers information
concerning choices you may have regarding the unfolding of events --
in other words, how to best deal with healing your karma. Now, that
is news you can use! Pepper is now in the process of accepting apprentices
and formulating new Tarot classes based on her most recent research.
Look in the Wellness Calendar Section for class dates. Do not pass up
this opportunity to study with one of the most unique innovators in
the field of psychic and Tarot research! For more details, check out
Pepper's advertisement or call 272-7044. You will be eternally grateful!
