Elaine understands the importance of integrating cultural beliefs with modern practices while providing support and guidance to a transformative life.

Elaine's clinical interests include mental-emotional health, pain management, stress and tension, ADHD, insomnia, community healing, and preventative wellness.
Yelena Andreychenko
Singing Bowl Therapist
I have always been drawn to the subtle powers capable of immense alteration. I love the power of pranayama (breath work) and our thoughts, as well as our capability of manifestation after setting our mind on something. Then, I discovered the Himalayan Singing Bowls, their healing powers and specifically their effect on the body's energy system, our chakras. After some serious considerations, I decided to deepen my understanding in Sound Healing. I bought my plane ticket and flew to Nepal. Under the tutelage of Swami Padmassattva, in an Ashram in Kathmandu, I experienced, studied, and practiced the art of Sound Healing. I was even fortunate enough to be introduced to an incredible singing bowls master, whose ancestors have custom made singing bowls for generations. I was taught how to select the bowls, purchased my own set, and flew home with the intention of sharing the incredible healing powers of this ancient instrument. The Singing Bowl has been a healing method for centuries and I hope that, now, you will consider them as part of your healing journey.
Suzanne Zahrobsky
acupuncturist
My acupuncture practice is informed by nearly 30 years of experience in providing pain relief by way of Asian bodywork modalities, such as Shiatsu, cupping, and auricular Tae Shen therapy. I value providing pain relief for patients through pain management with acupuncture, as well as helping patients relieve stress and cultivate wellbeing. Moreover, I am excited to be offering cosmetic acupuncture at Unveil the Wellness Center. With a Master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Academy of Chinese Culture & Health Sciences, I am well qualified to deliver both acupuncture and herbal medicine. In regard to herbal medicine, my studies have been lifelong. My earliest childhood was spent in my parents’ natural food store. When I was 12, I saved for and bought my very first book, a western herbal, The Herb Book, by John Lust. In my 20s, I studied with the authors of Healing with Whole Foods, Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition for the greater part of 4 years. I have an enduring passion for herbal medicine and dispensing herbal care. With acupuncture or herbal medicine, I will be honored by your choice of including me on your path to greater wellness.

Anna Gavrilov
Quantum Touch Practitioner
I’ve been passionate about wellbeing for over 10 years. Learning bio hacks, holistic practices, and techniques to promote long term health. The more I learn, the more I’m amazed by the intricate systems and parts that compose the human body. My path has led me to use the ancient practice of energy and sound healing to promote physical, emotional, and mental vitality. My goal is to create an environment and energetic resonance that promotes homeostasis between those systems and strengthen the body’s innate ability to heal itself. I seek ways to integrate small but mighty habits for consistent progress, and am eager to share ways to integrate energy healing in your life so that you can express your healthiest, highest, and most dynamic self.
I love nature, photography, design, and time with the family. So in between my Quantum Touch, practice and being a mom for two inspiring boys, I make sure to get creative.
Shannon Reed
Massage Therapist
Shannon's journey as a massage therapist began several years ago, when she experienced first-hand how massage can help people see where they hold stress- and trauma-related tension in the body. Now a certified massage therapist after graduating from the SF School of Massage in February 2020, it is this same awareness - and the potential for healing - that she aims to help facilitate in others. Therefore, her work is most compatible with those who want not only relaxation, but also relief from stress/anxiety and a safe environment in which to receive touch (something which can come with baggage for many). Often, such people are also living with anxiety, depression, or PTSD. In order to better support these individuals and hone the focus of her work, Shannon is currently pursuing additional training in the Somatic Experiencing method and the Trauma Touch Therapy method.
Outside the studio, Shannon enjoys hiking, swimming in the ocean, making comics, and working on various arts and crafts. Fun fact: she has never had a sense of smell!

Herbal Medicine plays a strong role in Chinese Medicine. Anything from acute sprains to colds, digestive issues, headaches, and stress can be treated with herbs. Because of Chinese Medicine's unique way of assessing the body, most internal health problems can benefit from certain herbal formulas.

Massage Therapy
In her massage practice, Stephanie’s primary goal is to relieve aches and pains, not just relax you. She believes in combining complimentary therapies and in treating the source of the problem - not just the symptoms. Deep tissue doesn’t have to hurt to be effective! She pulls from the following styles to form her own unique techniques: Thai, medically therapeutic massage, Swedish, active myofascial release, deep tissue, structural re-integration, and active isolated stretching.
Reiki or Reikipuncture
Reiki is a Japanese technique that means universal life energy. The word 'Rei' translates to universal wisdom and "ki (or chi)" means life energy or life force. It is a non-invasive, safe, gentle technique that utilizes a series of hand positions on or near the body to promote balance, energy flow, relaxation and to reduce stress. Reikipuncture is the combination of acupuncture + a reiki treatment. Specifically, here we refer to reiki done alongside the acupuncture style called the 8 Extraordinary Meridians - a system that taps into one’s subconcious and deep-seated belief systems. This RESET program is a profound experience that helps one surpass one’s own glass ceiling and return to an emotional and psychological homeostasis of wholeness.
Singing Bowl Therapy
You might have heard of Singing Bowls, Sound Healing, or Sound Baths and it may seem like a hip new-age trend. But Singing Bowls have been used in the Himalayas as healing methods for centuries. The history related to these bowls originated thousands of years ago and were mostly used in monasteries for spiritual ceremonies, meditations, and sound healing.
The bowls are made-up of seven different metals, they are individually hand crafted, and finely tuned to produce a specific pitch (note). This pitch frequency, which is a sound created via friction and vibration, is combined with other bowls of different pitch frequencies to create healing tones.
These combinations of frequencies produce healing effects on the body because your body is made up of cells, which are made up of atoms, which are made up of particles and particles are vibrating energy. This vibrating energy can create a shift or change by affecting your chakras, which are energy systems that keep your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health in balance. Furthermore, these vibrations are highly therapeutic because they produce a frequency similar to the brain waves produced in the Theta state, which are brain waves that occur during REM sleep, hypnosis, and deep meditation.
According to the Journal of Evidence- Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine (National Library of Medicine), a study was done examining the effects of sound meditation, specifically Tibetan singing bowls, on mood anxiety, pain and spiritual well- being. The results show that “there were significant differences between pre- and posttreatment for all subscale variables on the Profile of Mood Statues, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy measures.”
