For quite a while, from my own life experiences, I knew that there were obstacles and problems in the Lehigh Valley for anyone who couldn’t be helped by those in the medical profession, but could greatly benefit by people working in the natural healing modalities. One day I realized how convenient and sensible it would be if such practitioners could be placed under one roof collaborating for my wellness, and the wellness of others. A vision was born!
It took over a year to find the right place, but the wait was worth it. This property has a wonderful-relaxing energy and our building with its many purpose rooms, decorated to feel welcoming, contribute to its gracious calm. The center feels like home to me – it is home to me. It is a bit of paradise on a little country road conveniently located to major highways. I love to look at the old trees in the grove out front with its beautiful birds. There is a peacefulness I feel when I see our clients making friends, having fun, enjoying nature, or savoring a cup of tea in our homey kitchen while reading a book from our library. It all contributes to the well-being the center has to offer. Still, within this wonderful place the real blessing is all the highly educated and expert practitioners who come to do their special work. They have made it evolve into a center where people come to experience health maintenance, improve their lives and recover from illness or pain. This center has grown and grown and its healing modalities and experts are so diverse that they now address the whole person – body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
I also feel in awe when I think about how far the center has come in being accepted by main-stream American health practice. However, the most rewarding part is the number of people who are accepting natural health modalities and being helped. Today it was a woman who had gone to at least five medical specialists and could not be helped. One of the specialists referred her to Twin Ponds Center. After listening to her, I felt confident that she could be helped by our natural modalities. After all I have seen many just like her be helped and it was good to know that the medical community now has confidence in us, too. It was a moment of great pride for me and the Twin Ponds Center.
The center may have been my dream, but it has now taken on an energy and vision of its own. Every day I am amazed at what happens here. The success really comes from the practitioners and all the clients who have faith in alternative healing modalities. There certainly is something greater than me that has taken over. That’s why it is working. It was my dream, and now I am the proud helper – watching as this miracle unfolds.
