Healing Opportunities, Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to providing acupuncture where and when it is needed to assist in periods of transition, crisis and disaster relief, working to augment acupuncture healing by integrating other healing modalities into a model of whole-body wellness.

Through compassionate Care for Caregivers, we support treatment and promotion of acupuncture as a component of functional medicine to improve community health and the lives of those who provide care. With specific use of  NADA Ear Acupuncture Protocol, Healing Opportunities engages in outreach, and offers treatment options of many healing modalities. We provide educational opportunities, and evolve health and healthcare practices through research. We are committed to improving health and well-being in the community of Santa Barbara County.

 

OUR MISSION

To promote health within Santa Barbara County by providing acupuncture treatment and other healing modalities to support caregivers, first responders, and community members, as well as promote educational and research opportunities for healthcare practitioners.

OUR APPROACH

We are a resource for acupuncture and other modalities, providing treatment, care, and education to integrate the benefits of all healing to support full-body wellness. We provide disaster relief support for first responders and affected community members, care for caregivers, and information about acupuncture and positive effects of the NADA Protocol. Additionally, we encourage information sharing and education about all modalities of healing to best inform the health of the community.

To achieve our ultimate goal of reducing stress and trauma, we partner with Santa Barbara County service organizations like Medical Reserve Corps and Doctors Without Walls-Santa Barbara Street Medicine, offering them opportunities to incorporate NADA Ear Acupuncture into their own organizational protocols of service.

With respect to Healing Opportunities’ original signature program, (Compassionate Care for Caregivers), we continue to provide a multi-disciplinary application of functional medicine modalities, working with practitioners of Acupuncture, Acupressure, Yoga, Qi Gong, Reiki, Massage, and Tuina, as well as practices for moving through bereavement, and more.
