Lance David Isakov, M.Ac., L.Ac. Dipl.Ac., CYT

Lance David Isakov, originally from South Africa, moved to the Philadelphia area with his family at age 9. As a young child, Lance’s dreams of becoming a doctor sprang from his fascination with witch doctors and Shaman. After learning meditation early on in college, Lance decided to change his major to Cultural Anthropology to learn about indigenous cultures and their traditional healing practices. After many journeys around the country learning from the greatest healers and shaman, Lance returned to Philadelphia and started Village Wellness. Fast forward to today, Village Wellness has earned several well deserved local awards with the highest revered practitioners and countless devoted patients. Lance has created a wellness community powerful enough to heal the world twice over.

Village Wellness offers group and private acupuncture along with reiki, workshops, wellness events, corporate wellness… and a wellness blog

My personal experience with Lance is almost indescribable. I desperately sought out the best acupuncturist in Philadelphia to hopefully cure the torturous migraines I had experienced since childhood. In addition to Lance easing the migraine pain and keeping them at bay, he opened my mind and heart to a world I was already willingly discovering. To say that this man is pure love, kindness and all things healing would be an understatement. I will forever be grateful for all that Lance has provided for me.

Chromatherapy

The benefits of chromatherapy or color therapy correlates to the chakras in the body. Color has a larger impact on emotional health than most people realize. Think about a time when you felt noticeably happy or angered in someone’s home. Colors are a backdrop or an accent yet they create the essence of a room or space. Here are two extreme examples of how red and green affect mood and behavior. Red evokes anger and tension even though it’s the color of “love.” It’s best to avoid using reds in a bedroom especially if the room is shared with a partner. All values of green are safe for any room in a home. Green is found in nature so it is grounding and calms the nervous system, it nourishes through vegetables, it’s connected to the heart chakra and is the color that represents prosperity. Now go paint your kitchen, bathroom, office and bedroom your favorite shades of green. Also, if you’re in the process of healing a broken or sad heart, try wearing an emerald on your left hand.

Another way to add chromatherapy into your life is to “eat the rainbow.” Add foods such as; eggplant, grapes, blueberries, spinach, bananas, oranges, red berries or tomatoes into your daily routine.

Understanding the chakras helps when focusing on an ailment in a certain part of the body. If you’re experiencing imbalances in the body, there may be underlying emotional or traumatic issues from your past that could be blocking the flow of balanced energy.

Acupuncture and psychotherapy are healing modalities that effectively unblock stuck energy through meridians (nerve highways) along the chakras. If you’ve read this far, then you’re open to it or you’re at least curious and should research how acupuncture and psychotherapy can help you in your healing process. We all have healing to do and there’s no “one size fits all” wellness path. You did it, you got through a “woo woo,” “hippy dippy,” post and please note that I didn’t use the word “journey.” (That one doesn't count since I didn't use it in a woo woo sentence.) Ha!

Quick Guide to Chakras

Purple/Violet = Crown chakra
Indigo/Purple = Third-eye chakra
Blue = Throat chakra
Green = Heart chakra
Yellow = Solar plexus chakra
Orange = Sacral chakra
Red = Root chakra

I am not a medical professional so please consult a licensed physician before receiving acupuncture. Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy that can bring up a lot of past trauma so be sure you are ready for this step mentally before making an appointment. Psychotherapists are not required to have a PhD in psychology. Be sure to research each method carefully and listen to your instincts when it comes to your health. Natural remedies and alternative healing procedures are effective when they are used along with western practices.
