Biddeford Saco Courier - October 13th 2004 

Something special is happening in Saco. Five holistic practitioners have joined to form the Saco Healing Arts Center, located on the third floor of the former Atkinson Furniture building. “We provide care for people who wish to enhance their current good health, relieve pain and stress, or to recover from illness or injury. We are committed to providing a full spectrum of modalities, recognizing mind-body-spirit integration and the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.”

The group of Beth Koehler, LMT; Sue Wallingford, LMT, OTR/L; John Lehmus D.C.Ed; Maura Edgecomb, LMT; and Buffy Rousselle, LMT combine to compliment and enhance each other’s talents to be able to provide the best care possible for clients.

Beth is a licensed massage therapist, an advanced polarity practitioner and a Level 3 RYSETM practitioner. She works with a person’s energy system as well as incorporating deep tissue techniques. She performs intuitive bodywork; this involves Beth’s listening to the client’s body and soul and responds to its needs.

Sue is a practitioner of massage and Reiki. She combines a variety of massage methods including relaxing Swedish massage, CORE myofascial therapy and orthopedic massage. The CORE method of myofascial therapy is a very deep, but not painful method that promotes better posture and balance. Orthopedic massage involves therapeutic assessment and soft tissue manipulation to reduce or eliminate pain or dysfunction. Also, Sue is a licensed occupational therapist with over ten years experience.

John is a certified holistic health counselor and holds a doctorate in ASAT C.O.R.E.TM education. He has extensive experience as a spiritual teacher in many modalities including meditation, Toltec Wisdom, and energy balancing. He works with clients that are bothered by “mind chatter”, anxiety, frequent illness, family issues, etc. John also offers essential oils, which aid in healing by removing toxins and improving your DNA repair capacity.

Maura is a licensed massage therapist who specializes in therapeutic deep tissue techniques. A graduate of Spa Tech Institute, she also holds a B.A. in biology from the University of Southern Maine. She enjoys helping all people to enjoy a healthy, pain-free life and especially enjoys working with pregnant women and the challenges they present.

Buffy is a Licensed Massage Therapist and a graduate of the Therapeutic Massage program at Spa Tech Institute.  She enjoys helping people recover from injuries from sports and soreness from day to day activities.  Along with deep tissue massage, Buffy also specializes in myofascial therapy and Swedish massage for those who are looking for relaxation.

“We all do things a bit differently,” Sue says, “and we draw on each other’s strengths. This is a very supportive atmosphere.”

“People have tried other methods of healing and realize they don’t necessarily work in the long-term, often times affecting something else in the body,” John says. “We see each client as a whole person and guide them to wellness holistically in mind, body and spirit.”

The practitioners at the Saco Healing Arts Center will also provide workshops on a variety of topics. Beth will soon be teaching RYSETM classes. These are a series of four experiential days in which a student learns about their own energy system, how to tell if it’s blocked and learns tools to maintain it’s balance and clarity.

To find out more, call Saco Healing Arts Center at 284-8556 and you can reach Beth, Ext. 1; Buffy, Ext. 2; Maura, Ext. 3; Sue, Ext. 4, and John, Ext. 5. The center’s website is at www.SacoHealingArts.com.
