Heal Holistically in Edmonds

It seems that, collectively, we’ve relearned the old maxim around some of the most ancient healing modalities: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Medical advancements are necessary and incredible, but that doesn’t mean we have to leave tried and true methods behind. We’re talking energy work, quality time, and digging into root causes. 

And, as it happens, there are a large handful of healing businesses doing just that in Downtown Edmonds. So, let’s heal holistically with a view of the sea, shall we? 

Okay, But First: What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese stress reduction and relaxation modality that channels universal life force energy to promote balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit. Research suggests Reiki may provide relief from anxiety and depression, pain management, and fatigue reduction, among other benefits. In execution, it’s a gentle, hands-on healing practice that has found a welcoming home in Downtown Edmonds, where it’s just one of many holistic healing modalities in our Downtown community.

Brandi Alsdorf at Centerpoint Energy Healing

Centerpoint Energy Healing, housed in the upstairs of the same historic home that hosts FIELD by Morgan & Moss, helps you get centered—literally. Florals with a side of energy work? Yeah, that’ll do. (P.S. Treat yourself to a hand-tied bouquet on your way out—you deserve it.) 

Some of the things Brandi at Centerpoint’s work as an intuitive energy healer will bring to your life? Reduced chronic pain, tension, and fatigue; managed anxiety and depression; improved mood, digestion, sleep, health, vitality, and passion; a new sense of hope. One-hour in-person Reiki sessions offer the option to sit or lie down while energy flows to stagnant spots in your energetic system. 

At Innate Radiance Acupuncture + Wellness Clinic (in the same building as Edmonds Vitamins & Herbs, which you should get to know on this journey, too), Natalie-Pascale Boisseau, EAMP-L.Ac LMP, will tell you your body already knows how to heal itself—it just needs the right support to remember. Her approach centers on strengthening what she calls “innate health,” using Japanese and classical acupuncture techniques with craniosacral therapy, therapeutic massage, and nutritional guidance to create personalized treatment plans. Whether you’re looking to support a pregnancy, managing chronic conditions like fibromyalgia or Parkinson’s, recovering from surgery, or maintaining your wellness through a life transition, Natalie-Pascale works as your teammate in achieving optimal health..

Science and Nature Convene Right Downtown Edmonds

Head to Black Mountain Center for Healing on 3rd Ave where Asha Novak brings together decades of experience as a Registered Nurse with specialized training in East Asian Medicine, creating a practice that treats you as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms. Her philosophy: “True healing involves a growth in consciousness, an opening in awareness, and a return to oneself. Everything else is symptom relief.” 

With services ranging from acupuncture and CranioSacral therapy to clinical hypnotherapy and doula support, Asha houses a wide swath of healing modalities under one roof. What makes her practice especially accessible is that she’s contracted with most health insurers and offers special rates for seniors and the uninsured, because healing shouldn’t be a luxury.

For women in the throes of fertility, pregnancy, birth, and beyond, Body Motion Physical Therapy offers specialized pelvic floor physical therapy that empowers you to live an active, confident, healthy life without medication or surgery. Dr. Allison Feldt, DPT, PT, and her team create customized treatment plans that address the root cause of what’s happening with your body. Whether you’re being proactive about fertility, preparing for your dream birth experience, recovering postpartum, or managing pre-menopause changes, Body Motion will get you feeling strong and confident in your body through every phase of life.

Dr. Christa Lamothe at Naturopathic Dermatology

If you want the best of both worlds for your skin—natural, ancient treatments backed by medical expertise—look no further than Naturopathic Dermatology. 

Owner Dr. Christa Lamothe is a licensed, board-certified Naturopathic Physician who was personally impacted by skin problems that conventional medicine couldn’t treat. After discovering natural ways to heal, she wanted to share that root cause-based relief with others like her. 

What makes Dr. Lamothe’s practice special is her combination of specially formulated topicals (her own line of Naturopathic Dermatology Skin Care) with innovative, minimally invasive procedures that use energy technologies like radiofrequency and cold atmospheric plasma to awaken and support the skin’s own healing and rejuvenating mechanisms. Beyond addressing medical conditions, she offers facial treatments and rejuvenating procedures that go deep—literally—treating your skin as the largest organ it is with the specialized care it deserves.

A Community Committed to Your Wellness

We’re so grateful these healers have chosen Edmonds as their home base for healing! There really is something magical in the air here, which we have a sneaking suspicion supports all of these practitioners as they work on us—and, hey, we’re certainly not mad about it. We picked Edmonds for a reason, too!

Plus, what’s great about having options is that we all have a better chance of finding the perfect practitioner for us, our concerns, and our goals. Downtown Edmonds has doctors and healers ready to meet you where you are. No judgment, no pressure—just a genuine desire to help you feel your best. Who could say no to that? 

Better Health Starts Right Here

The beauty of holistic healing is there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Maybe you’ll start with a Reiki session to help manage stress, then discover that naturopathic dermatology is exactly what your skin has been craving. Or perhaps you’ll find that regular visits to a wellness studio become your new form of self-care (we pulled together a whole list of Downtown options here).

Whatever path calls to you, Downtown Edmonds is ready to support you: mind, body, and soul. These practitioners are here to educate, support, and empower you to take charge of your wellness in ways that feel right for you.

Ready to get on your path to healing? Start by booking that first appointment, and don’t forget to share your experience by tagging @edmondsdowntown on Instagram and Facebook. We love celebrating your commitment to you—and, hey, you may just help others discover their new favorite place in town along the way.
