An Ortho-Bionomy therapist, Rolfer and massage therapist, and medical acupuncture educator will present their healing arts on Saturday, February 20 from 2-4 p.m. at Berkeley Public Central Library in downtown Berkeley. This is the third author panel in the free series Get Well! Alternative Practitioners Talk With You About Healing, sponsored by North Atlantic Books and Berkeley Public Library.
Moderator for the February panel is Kathy Kain.
The panelists:
- Art Riggs, Rolfer and Massage Therapist, author of Deep Tissue Massage: A Visual Guide to Techniques
- Kathy Kain, Ortho-Bionomy therapist, author of Ortho-Bionomy: A Manual of Practice
- Joseph Helms, M.D., medical educator, acupuncturist, author of Getting To Know You: A Physician Explains How Acupuncture Helps You Be the Best YOU
Authors will explain their modalities and read from their books. Audience questions will be followed by a book signing.
“We hope to further the public discourse, and thus the readership, about alternative health, or complementary medicine,” Lindy Hough said. “A wider demographic should be able to use these kinds of medicine, know their history, and see how effective they are in healing many conditions inexpensively, without recourse to drugs or surgery.”
“The Berkeley Public Library is excited to be working in partnership with North Atlantic Books to better serve the interest in mind/body/spirit their readers are seeking,” said Douglas Smith, Deputy Director of the Library. “We’re pleased to be expanding our programming, outreach, and collections in these important directions.”
