"Leilani Navar is a skilled healer and a genuine gift to the community. Her modern training in Chinese medicine, integrated with her intuitional knowing serves as a profound and professional foundation for holistic healing. Her curiosity and integrity show me a healer who is ever deepening her practice. I've been to her on occasions for both acute injury and minor. Her caring and compassionate presence, her deep listening, and communication all engender a wonderful healing atmosphere. I know Leilani especially through the practice of dreams, a profession in which I'm involved. Leilani, through study and experience, has an incredible capacity to "hear" the story of our body and soul through dreams. In consultations I have had with her we sometimes navigate from a particular dream. Leilani's rare combination of critical thinking, medical intelligence and poetic basis of mind makes her a unique healer who can combine many perspectives into a cohesive, accurate and effective holistic health practice."

"I have been seeing Leilani Navar for health support for three years. I began with getting a treatment for my back. I had immediate relief, and was surprised at her approach to my body as a whole, rather than just treating my back. I was so impressed with her skills that my whole family started seeing her for treatments and health support. She introduced me to Chinese medicine and I quickly realized that her understanding of the body system and health was on a whole new level. By nature she has a gift for caring for people that really sets her apart as a health care practitioner. She has taught us ways to improve our mental, emotional, and physical health, including performing acupressure on ourselves. In my family, appointment days with Leilani are looked forward to as a treat, and everyone counts down the days til it's their turn."
