Diane Shandor

Diane has worked with clients for 30 years to heal physical and emotional issues through acupuncture. Her goal is to provide you with an overall sense of well-being. Many physical and emotional difficulties as well as the daily stresses of life can impede that sense of well-being and happiness.

Specific problems Diane has addressed with her clients include: neck, shoulder and back pain; sports injuries and arthritis; headache and migraines; respiratory issues; menstrual problems; digestive issues; nausea and inability to eat after cancer treatments; stress, anxiety, depression and grief; and boosting the immune system. After their acupuncture treatments clients feel less pain and more ease of movement. In addition, clients often report feeling both energized and relaxed.

Diane has a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture from the Traditional Acupuncture Institute (now Maryland University of Integrative Health). Her undergraduate degree is from Penn State University in Psychology. She holds acupuncture licenses in both Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Diane is happy to provide a 15 minute phone consult at no charge to talk about whether acupuncture is right for you.

Usui Reiki Practitioner
Seated Chair Events (with advanced scheduling)

I recently took a leap of faith in pursuit of following my hearts passion. My own transformational client experience of receiving energy healing, bodywork, talk and massage therapy gave me the courage to do so. Over the past 15 years, my profound healing experiences, my beliefs and my own circle of healing facilitators inspired me to become a Licensed Massage Therapist in the state of Maryland. Come explore what I have become so passionate about. As my new career in healing is just beginning, I ask that you be patient, understanding and willing to work together. I wish to provide client-centered sessions that allow for safe space where my clients own inner wisdom can bring them to healing, to health and to their own knowing that they are enough. I believe that by integrating mind, body, emotion and spirit into soul alignment we can achieve wholeness, wellness and overall wellbeing. I am a facilitator and not a fixer! I will bring energies from the Heavens and from the Earth through my heart and through my hands to promote wellness and a new awareness. My vision to practice exists to help and serve others who wish to create change, to feel better, and to improve their quality of life.

John Zager, Ph.D.

I have a Ph.D. degree in psychology, and I am licensed in the State of Maryland. I am a graduate of the psychology program at the University of Maryland in College Park. I currently have a psychotherapy practice. Regarding psychotherapy, in my experience, a person seeks the assistance of a therapist when a pattern of behavior is no longer effective or when a life transition occurs. In turn, a person begins to develop new options and new life directions when he or she has the experience of being heard and being understood. This is the service that I offer to individuals and couples.

I have background in working with people who are experiencing stress and anxiety due to family or relationship concerns, work conflict or trauma. Another area that people have sought help with is sadness and depressed mood which may follow a loss. I also have background in addiction treatment, maintaining sobriety and in understanding the impact of addiction on personal and family life. Further, I see people who need help in recognizing and working through personal and family distress which may arise during young adulthood, the middle years or during one’s senior years.

I am in network with Blue Cross, United Health, Aetna and Cigna.
