People and Places

These are extraordinary individuals and businesses with whom I either utilize myself or am personally acquainted. They are all in some way related to health and/or happiness, although I take a fairly broad view of things (sometimes, just having a website that works well can do wonders for one’s stress level). I endorse anyone or anyplace on this list wholeheartedly.

Anxiety and Stress Management Institute 770/953-0080
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a wide variety of healing professionals under one roof. From counselors to yoga instructors, this place has something for nearly any need you might have.

Beautibuys, personal care products,
404/663-5544
From skin care and body care to makeup and fine fragrance, purchase afforable, spa-quality products from head to toe.

Bourne Personal Training, private gym, 770/529-3938
A great private gym. Lisa Bourne and her trainers offer knowledge, experience, and personalized attention at a clean, modern facility (without contracts!).

Digital Scribe, Inc., website creation, 404/663-5544
A wonderful, professional, HONEST company that will speak to you in plain English about your website. The partners, Alice Chang and Marisa Pruss, are friends of mine and a joy to work with.

Five Seasons Brewing, restaurant, 404/255-5911
Delicious and imaginative entrees made with ALL organic, mostly local ingredients. Here is a place you can enjoy while supporting local farmers and organic farming (especially if you like good beer).

Huda Al-Qatami, LPC, counselor, 678/463-9933
Huda is a wonderful and compassionate licensed professional counselor, and works with people on issues such as personal growth, stress management, court-ordered evaluations, anxiety, and spirituality.

Lau Yat Wing Chun, martial arts training, 770/516-1106
A serious kung fu school where the mind is honed as much as, or more than, the body. Sifu Chris Burke is a good friend and a dedicated instructor.

Marian Massie, hypnotherapist and life coach, 770/956-0554
An amazing teacher and coach who helps people make real change in their lives. Her approach is unique and her effectiveness speaks for itself.

Rubin Chiropractic, chiropractor, 770/937-6300
Dr.Rubin is passionate about his profession, and it shows. He is a dedicated healer, and his wife, Lisa, is a psychologist who specializes in parenting and families.

Swordplay Alliance 423/365-0925
I have been studying and teaching under Eddie Floyd since 1997. He is an inspired teacher and swordsmithing genius who has developed a truly effective fighting system for rapier, broadsword, and katana.

Whole Foods Market, grocery, 404/236-0810 (Sandy Springs)
My favorite place to shop. Good, organic food, a wide selection, and lots of free samples make this store invaluable for those making healthy changes in their diet.
