Jeanie
Radakovich, HHP Received her certification
in Traditional Japanese Massage in San Francisco in
1982 and practiced there before moving to San Diego. |
A long
hiatus due to a hand injury motivated her to pursue
more innovative methods of bodywork. She studied at
various schools, including two direct apprenticeships
with the founders of: Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy™
(AOBT), and Barefoot Compressive Deep Tissue (BCDT).
Both are established modern techniques for deep tissue
work done primarily with the practitioner's feet.
Although this may not be familiar to most westerners,
it is traditional in Asian countries and brings a
higher degree of comfort to effective deep tissue
work.
Jeanie received her Holistic Health Practitioner
Certification in 2005 and has made these two Barefoot
Therapies her focus. Her two styles are completely
different from each other. AOBT is a gravity assisted,
oil based massage done on a table. BCDT is a trigger
point therapy done on a shiatsu-style floor mat.
Both modalities are potent, immensely satisfying
forms of bodywork meant to go beyond relaxation to
heal and rejuvenate. They are designed for denser
muscled, active clients, but are appropriate for most
people.

Kim Kelly, ND
Dr. Kim D. Kelly graduated from Bastyr University in 2001 and is a licensed naturopathic doctor in the state of California. |
Upon graduation from Bastyr, he underwent a rigorous three year training program at a cutting edge clinic, where he was trained by a team of medical and naturopathic doctors (Nazanin Kimiai, ND, LAc; Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD; David Musnick, MD, MPH). Through his experience at this integrative clinic, Dr. Kelly learned the art and science of cutting edge healing modalities for chronic musculoskeletal pain, autoimmune conditions, chronic infections (parasites, Lyme, mold), environmental & heavy metal toxicities and general health issues.
Dr. Kelly's four years as technical director and consultant with Sabre Sciences has given him a strong background on use of bio-identical hormones and neurotransmitters for issues e.g. menopausal and andropause symptoms, PMS, insomnia, anxiety or chronic fatigue. He currently has an office in Encinitas and he also makes house-calls in the Greater San Diego area. His specialities include adrenal fatigue, thyroid disorders, hormonal issues, men's health, musculoskeletal pain and heavy metal detoxification. A lot of his practice also involves neural therapy to help remove interferences (aka blockages) due to infections, emotional trauma and physical trauma (from any type of surgery, accidents, deep cuts, biopsies, childbirth, dental procedures, vaccinations, burns, tattoos, etc.).
In addition to his private practice, Dr. Kelly also enjoys doing research projects for private institutions as well as universities. His Masters of Public Health degree in epidemiology helps him to have a keen eye on the validity and reliability of alternative therapies. Both research and evidenced-based medicine is important to him.
