Healing Arts Center Home to Four Modalities W


hen Jacqueline Roman was choosing a name for her healing center in Beacon, she wanted something that had significance. In Chinese culture and medicine, the crane represents longevity, wisdom and grace, which made it the perfect symbol for the Dancing Crane Healing Arts Center in Beacon, now celebrating its fifth year. Roman, an acupuncturist, has a solid foundation in Western and Eastern medicine. She has spent 20 years working with severely disabled individuals who often could not speak so she learned to ‘listen’ in different ways and is attuned to non-verbal communication.


Alyson L. Chugerman, certified holistic health counselor and nutritionist, has been studying health, wellness and nutrition for over 11 years. She enjoys guiding her clients to eat well and cook more for themselves while also making improvements in their physical activity, stress reduction and overall lifestyle to obtain optimum health. Alyson also offers healthy cooking classes and workshops on reducing sugar cravings, eating for energy, foods that heal and more. The Center also is home to Ron Chugerman, a classical homeopath. Homeopathy is the second most widely used medical system in the world. It addresses the cause of illness rather than just suppression of symptoms. Ron began studying holistic therapies in 1997 and believes that classical homeopathy embraces the very same principles of nature and natural healing found in other ancient therapeutics. Linda K. Lavin, a New York State licensed mental health counselor, also uses a holistic counseling approach, specializing in helping people through crisis, which can be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. She uses applied kinesiology in her work and employs several modalities derived from the cutting edge field of energy psychology.
