Philosophy

Marvin M. Portner, M.D., Board Certified in Allergy, Immunology, and Internal Medicine trained at the University of Michigan and UCLA. Since early in 1970, Marvin has integrated holistic, alternative medicine into his traditional medical training and practice. As a private practice physician, Marvin spends time with his patients getting to know them and talking to them about their history as well as about their health concerns and decisions. Phone calls are returned and appointments are made in a timely manner. The office runs on time with no bureaucracy. Fees may be adjusted to meet the needs of the individual patient. Each person is treated according to his/her own needs rather than as an impersonal clinical case.

Eleanor Haspel-Portner, Ph.D., was licensed as a clinical psychologist in 1973. She trained at the University of Chicago, Committee on Human Development with post-doctoral training at Rush Presbyterian St. Luke’s Hospital in Chicago. Eleanor works extensively with consciousness expanding tools as well as with relationship issues, creative consultations, astrological information, and healing modalities. Eleanor works primarily with short-term therapeutic interventions focusing on positive changes for a happy, fulfilled life. She is knowledgeable in nutrition, diet, and exercise. She is also a psychic. Eleanor has statistically verified the Multidimensional Design System, an astrological, whole body system based on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the Hindu Chakra System, the astrological Zodiac, and the I-Ching. She is currently mapping consciousness using Multidimensional Design Matrices with good scientific and clinical validation of her work. A Multidimensional Design reading can have a profound impact on one’s life.

Dyan Haspel-Johnson, Ph.D. obtained her doctorate in health psychology from Sabrook Graduate School and Research Institute. She received training in hypnosis in 1995. She has practiced mind/body therapy and hypnosis as a specialist in a private therapy practice, medical practice and, previously, at UCLA’s Behavioral Medicine Clinic. Dyan focuses on chronic problems (everything from fibromyalgia to phobias) with the goal of helping to empower individuals to transform their weaknesses into strengths. She is the Co-Chair of Programs for the Southern California Society of Clinical Hypnosis. She currently works in private practice in Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades, California, using a variety of methodologies to fit each patient, including making individualized hypnosis CD’s that people can listen to on their own, as well as doing more traditional therapy sessions.

We have extensively researched and studied herbs and alterative modalities to find products that are the purest, help symptoms the most and are the most cost effective for you. We realize that most people are on a budget and need products that will help them to be most functional in their lives without cost being a burden. We consistently look for what works best and is affordable. We have traveled to the Peruvian Rainforest with herbalists to examine the ways in which herbs are used, extracted and how they are processed. We have investigated and found what we believe to be the purest essential oils and homeopathic remedies. We do not believe that one answer fits for every person so we continue to investigate new methods for assisting in individually tailored healing processes.
