Today is Thanksgiving… And I’m taking this opportunity to do something I promised I would do a long time ago. That is to thank the amazing Beverly Coleman. Yes she is a healer, yes she knows her stuff and I hope you can come to her in a more “fluid state of being“ than I did. No matter. She not only helped heal me but most importantly she helped me to heal myself. Yes… She most delicately points the way to your own self healing. I hope you listen more quickly than I did. It’s hard to break out of old paradigms but I would highly suggest you go to her and you follow her advice. That’s not to say that doing this will be easy. What in life that is really worthwhile is easy? This isn’t to say that I changed my wicked ways immediately but the seeds she’s planted years ago continue to sprout and grow. So today I am thankful for the magic hands, heart and mind of Beverly Coleman.
An empowered patient
I have been a patient of Beverly Coleman for over 10 years. She assesses the situation and either works with me or suggests I go to the doctor first. In that time, I have also had the opportunity to call her when there are any health problems for me. I do not take prescription drugs and relax to know that I have her for my guide to health and well-being. Throughout these years I have learned about herbs and numerous supplements, and benefited from her skill at acupuncture. So, I have profited from her teaching a life-style that has made me confident. I feel great to continue on in my 86th year as her laughter, smile, positivity, and wise conversations are an inspiration to me. Because of my complete trust in Beverly for my well-being, I can positively say “I AM FIT FOR LIFE!”

Dear Beverly, In my small circle of friends, there are those that I 1. know 2. know and like 3. really know and like 4. would like to know better and that I admire 5. really know, like and admire You are a powerful category 5 in the weather of life. You are so much your own person as evidenced by your energy, vision, sense of adventure, generosity, independence, vigor, honesty, and devotion to a cause for the greater good. Probably a part of my admiration has to do with that fact that you don’t really care what other folks think about you.

My heart soars when I think of Beverly Coleman! She is one seriously powerful, accomplished, huge hearted woman, acupuncturist, herbalist and healer whose knowledge and wisdom pours like a river through her hands and heart into her healing. She dives into the depths and transforms all who are open to receiving the breadth of her mastery. To disappear my HPV I was told I would need to receive acupuncture weekly for possibly 3 years. 8 months of seeing Beverly once a week and it was gone. My shingles jumped ship after one appointment with her!!!! I sing her praises and urge everyone considering an appointment with Beverly not to miss the opportunity of being with her presence on this Earth.
A very happy patient
Beverly is a master healer! I got back from Nepal with a very upset digestive system and was very weak. I thought I might never get back to health and feel like myself again. I was actually quite worried. After trying everything, I went to Beverly, who assessed my health and made up some of her special herbs just for me. Within days, I was a new person! She’s amazing and incredibly experienced. I would highly recommend her services

In order to heal, one must trust. In order to trust, one must be given hope. When I originally came to Beverly, I had no hope that I would be able to heal the intense pain in my neck. I had been to many doctors and healing practitioners, given MRIs and CAT scans- the works(!), and the only option left to me seemed to be surgery. However, working with Beverly, and trusting her judgment and broad knowledge of so many modalities and use of multiple approaches and treatments, I became motivated through hope; and working with her each week, my pain gradually lessened…. When I think of my acupuncture treatments with Beverly, words like rare, wisdom, truth and honesty, come to mind. That she is a national treasure, and so multifaceted (like a diamond), still does not quite fully express what it is to be treated in Beverly’s loving presence. She gives her whole self to you and does what it takes to get you better. I wish everyone would just go and experience her and her work- first hand! She assisted me in healing through hope and loving care. My pain is significantly lessened. I am grateful.

I was feeling the affects of my move to Sedona….so many moving parts to the relocation, including safely transporting my three horses and adopted burro. For many weeks, I had been navigating on adrenaline, not realizing how much the accumulated stress was affecting my well-being… until I realized my blood pressure was approaching unsafe levels. Determined not to rely on allopathic medicine to address the blood pressure issue via a possible pharmaceutical route, I was recommended to Beverly Coleman, a respected local acupuncturist and herbalist. After my first healing session with Beverly, I immediately began to relax on all levels….since Beverly listens deeply, I knew I was in caring, competent and gifted hands…..a healer in every sense of the word. I continue to partner with Beverly as I work towards restoring my sense of well-being….and a much lower blood pressure! Over the past few months, I realize how profoundly I resonate to Beverly’s holistic approach to wellness and continue to feel empowered, with her support and guidance, by making informed choices that lead to optimal health and vitality.

I have been so fortunate in my life to have met several people with hands that heal. These people have literally saved my life. Beverly Coleman is one of those people. She is somehow magically connected to the source of life in the other and able to create a transformative dialog that breaks up blockages that are narrowing the life force itself. If you are ready to deeply connect with your own unique life force, I highly recommend her work.

(a testimonial for using herbs along with chemo ) My doctor told me the cancer is gone two weeks ago. I go to see the surgeon Monday. While I did not have surgery, the surgeon put the team together and decided on oral chemo. Therapy…. Thanks to you my kidneys are clear and your advise made a major contribution to my recovery.

You are sure to completely enjoy and greatly benefit from your time with Beverly Coleman, MPH, LAc. Not only is she a Master of Chinese Medicine with many years of experience in helping people through acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy and lifestyle counseling, but she is a powerhouse of knowledge and wisdom when it comes to applied nutrition and reality based wellness approaches. I’ve always found Beverly’s presentations to be practical and chockfull of great and easy ideas that can be fit right in to a busy life. As well, Beverly has a personable and lighthearted way of teaching that is highly entertaining!
Devin A. Mikles, MD Medical Director
“After losing my husband “Ike Turner” my body went into total shock and breakdown from stress and mourning. After consulting with Beverly over the phone Beverly put together a wellness program that suited my needs and started the healing process. Now I am 100% better and back on track to a healthy life. I highly recommend “Beverly Coleman’s Wellness Service” for optimum health.”
Audrey Turner
“When you talk and work with Beverly, you have the feeling that you are her only patient and she really cares about your wellbeing. She greets you with joy and spiritual abundance. She reviews the whole you: mind, body, spirit and social relationships.”

My name is Devya, I am a Meditation Mentor and President of Devya& Associates, an holistic firm in New York, NY, offering a wide range of Meditation programs. Although I’ve only Beverly Coleman for for 6 years, I feel as though I’ve known her all my life. When I think of Beverly, I think of a high energy, sharing and caring healer who is an excellent educator with a vast amount of knowledge of Oriental medicine which she applies expertly. We met at a conference where we both shared the dais as presenters. I sought her out afterward to share with her that brought groups to Sedona every year on a Sedona/Grand Canyon Meditation Vacation. She encouraged me to call her after I returned home to New York after the conference. I did so and found her to be immensely helpful. The information she so willingly shared with me about things to do and see enabled me to refine and streamline my trip to create the excellent reputation it enjoys today. On one of my yearly trips she lead my group on a hike behind the Cathedral Vortex. It was a wonderful experience in which she shared her extensive knowledge about herbs, nature, African American and Native American history. It was a powerful experience that my participants thoroughly enjoyed. In her role as practitioner of oriental medicine, I have seen instant, lasting healings occur under her gifted hands. This is a woman who knows what she came here to do and does it superbly well.

From a healthy, athletic, active vegetarian, I became a near-invalid as my right side shut down and I needed help to do everything from put my clothes on to crawl across the floor. Some doctors said multiple sclerosis, others said a series of mild strokes. Others said it was too early to tell without more and more tests. Each time I thought I’d finally find out, my records would be lost or test results misplaced — and they refused to do any treatments until they agreed on a diagnosis! I grew steadily worse. I could no longer pursue my career as a writer since I even had trouble reading, speaking or typing (I no longer understood the keyboard). Then I thought of Dr. Beverly, I’d known her for years but had gone to her only for nutritional advice and herbs for myself and my son. We’d also worked on writing projects together. Through God’s grace and Dr. Beverly’s magic, I began to improve from the very first treatment: scalp acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs, a vitamin regimen, diet and lifestyle change. It all came together, I’m not only 100% healed but now I’m like the Bionic Woman! I’m better than before! Thank you my Dr. Sister-Friend!

I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids over two years ago. Not wanting to resort to conventional medical treatment initially, I was referred to Beverly Coleman. Beverly concurred with my physician’s recommendation that surgery would be necessary to remove the fibroids; however, she suggested that she could apply specific therapies that could best prepare my body for the inevitable. Ms. Coleman provided incredible herbal and acupuncture therapies that combined, offered tremendous relief for the discomfort I had been experiencing. She also offered spiritual support that bolstered me prior to my surgery. The sum total of the physical, nutritional and spiritual elements she applied made a significance in my body’s ability to sustain the trauma of surgery and my emotional state to accept the transition my body was going through and heal with the proper perspective regarding the entire experience.

Beverly is a pioneering spirit in the healing arts. Those that she touches are fortunate to experience her compassion and caring and healing expertise. In the 70’s when few were practicing massage and acupuncture in the West, Beverly started “Cozies” — small gatherings where a hostess invited several friends to her home for food, talk, laughter and foot massages. In this unique way, Beverly introduced dozens of people to the healing power of touch. After moving to Sedona we lost touch until one day “out of the blue” she called me when I happened to be exhausted and depleted after a business venture. Perhaps she sensed a need as she so often does. Reconnecting on her monthly trips to Los Angeles, Beverly prescribed a plan of acupuncture and herbs that left me feeling energized. My back, neck, even my voice all improved allowing me to continue working and feeling good about my health and my life. She’s helped me and so many others.

I had a wonderful time at the retreat. Thank you for opening your heart and soul to us and sharing so much valuable information. You are a true teacher and healer and your spirit really touched me. You are really a neat woman and I feel blessed to have been able to spend some time with you. I’m going out to create some excitement in my life…ooh baby watch out…this sister is hot stuff. So here’s to all the “hot stuff” we can handle in our lives. I left all the things that have been “heaped” on me in Sedona so I feel pretty light.
Cindy
You have made a tremendous impact on my life, which would be even greater had I followed many of the suggestions that you gave me. As you may recall, I first saw you in the late ’70s after having a hysterectomy and oophorectomy because of uterine fibroids. Your approach of treating the “whole” person was new to me, especially the idea of being more spiritual rather than religious. It’s probably in this area that I’ve come closest to making peace with myself; I’m still working with the others. Through many moves, I always keep an article on my refrigerator from one of your early newsletters. Thank you for your wisdom.

Six months ago, I was experiencing severe pain in the right hip and thigh. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and the orthopedic doctor promptly advised that I have a hip replacement. I consulted Beverly Coleman and thus, I began my journey to wellness. With Beverly’s professional assistance, I have evolved into a more energetic, healthy 69 year old woman. I have changed my eating habits and I exercise regularly. As a result, I have not only lost twenty five pounds, but more importantly, I am also enjoying an active pain-free life!
Linda Davis Jones
I’ve been thinking about spontaneous healing, like you talked about … I know that absolutely happens. I’m not sure it’s in my best interest right now. ..I think right now I am just where I should be. I love having a health practitioner with whom I can talk on this level. I contrast it with the gynecologist whose assessment was “the organ is pathological” and wow…..! Thanks for being who you are, Beverly.
Leslie
I just wanted to show you how effective your treatments for me are, I have lost a lot of the mass of fibroid that was there, and I want to thank you again.
Greta
Me and James Brown want you to know: I FEEL GOOD, I knew that I would now …I got you (and your herbs working on me). I FEEL NICE like sugar and spice …I got you (and that drink in the blue bottle!) Just thought you’d like to know.
Rev. Crystal Bujol
The retreats provide a very beautiful and safe group environment to share feelings, activities, meals and interests. I enjoyed and learned so much at my first retreat I returned a second time. Much of what I learned is now a part of my everyday life.
Pat Brown
Beverly Coleman has studied and practiced for years and has gained tremendous knowledge and understanding in this great work. She is about devotion, caring, wisdom, positive energy, empathy, love, compassion which equal healing.
Oscar Brashear
I brought a group of men from my job to one of Beverly’s Retreats. We wanted to get out of the city and experience a different kind of life. Our custom Retreat included lodging in our own lovely, private home, hiking, tennis, individual wellness consultations and personalized herbs, meditation, really great self-awareness sessions.

“you were god sent and she stills follows most of what you taught her to heal herself. Through her you also touch me and my son. Beverly you are indeed a blessing to this earthly place.”

I have known Beverly Coleman for over 15 years. I know her as a practitioner of acupuncture, a nutritionist, counselor and friend. She is a very sensitive and caring person. She is a thorough and dedicated professional, always seeking to learn more…I am privileged to know her.

I could say a lot of truly good things about you…maybe the best thing from my point of view…you never stop learning. You study healing and remedies and cures from all over the world. Your mind is always open…as a patient, I never felt like there were no options. Of course you don’t take any sh__ either…and that’s a major plus.
Love, Margie
I am in the medical profession and I just don’t like going to doctors, I know they never have enough time to answer your questions, and if you persist in trying to get information, they often make you feel guilty because you are keeping them from another client. I have felt this many times and I always wanted to just grab the doctor and tell them that I needed their full attention and I was scared, I wanted to know what alternatives I had…can they alleviate my fears, just help me to understand ? I never did get to let them know how I felt. No doctor has taken the time, given me uplifting and positive solutions and administered to my poor, tired, scared soul, like Dr. Beverly Coleman has. When I think wholistic healer, I think of her, I still talk about her to my friends, even though we don’t live near each other anymore. Her advice helped me to quit smoking, change my eating habits and know that health was more than “a pill to fix it”. She sees my whole body, mind and spirit and helps me to help myself…

I would love to tell the world what a wonderful healer you are. I know that the power of healing has been placed in your hands. Beverly Coleman has saved my life truly. I was having female problems and help me to take control of my life and make the right decision concerning my personal health. Another time I had lost my voice which would have met me giving up my career and dreams, Beverly saved me, so many times she has saved and helped me. I have shared both Dr. Beverly Coleman’s book and her personally with all my friends and strangers that wanted a better quality of life. When traveling her book is always with me. Anyone that is having health problems or just want to stay healthy I recommend Beverly Coleman. If you could see Beverly you would see the power she possesses, it flows and radiates ..I love and trust Beverly with my life. I miss you very much it is hard not to be able to jump in the car and come and see you but as soon as I come back to America I will be there.
Leslie Bee
My memories of you date back to the time when you introduced me to your healing touch, your knowledge about good diet AND, most important, your really wonderfully caring manner. You are a good listener and you told me to never ignore my creative side…something that was corroborated when I explored my own personality profile in a career counseling class I took just a couple of years ago in graduate school at the age of 66. Add to that your very kind ministrations to my ears last November, in an effort to tackle my persistent neck pain…all in all, you seem to me a beautifully responsive earth mother, something I’ve always missed in my life (I’ll be 68 this month!)…in spite of, or because of all your education and accomplishments. Part of what I learned from you and that I convey to my students in my hearing loss support groups and to the folks in the DA’s office bad check restitution program, is the importance of self-care and nurturing quiet time, for stress reduction. I just have to keep reminding myself to take care of myself, too.

Several years ago my acupuncturist, Beverly Coleman, and I joined to care for my painful neck. I had been seen and evaluated by a physical medicine doctor who diagnosed my condition as cervical radiculopathy. After several months of medication, electromyogram, nerve conduction studies and physical therapy, the doctor’s recommendation was surgery. That was when Beverly and I united in our goal to help my body heal by acupuncture, herbal therapy, massage therapy and nutrition. The first few months were difficult but I was guided by the unique ability and significant experience of Beverly. Through her constant encouragement and inspiration, I was able to progress to the stage where I didn’t need surgery on my neck. Over the years, I have continued to seek advice and treatment from Beverly for various problems. She has also helped my husband, who is diabetic, to maintain his blood sugar with herbs. Today, the challenges of living remain but, thanks to Beverly, I have the tools to maintain a healthful lifestyle. She is a God send.
Joyce Edmund
Beverly is an excellent health care provider because (1) She has provided well for my own personal health; (2) She loves her work and truly cares about her patients; (3) She is bright and has studied the proper use of herbs for many years; (4) She is extremely creative as well as intelligent in her approach

Where Western medicine left off, you stepped in and helped me. Beverly, your insight, wisdom and practice helped me get to the root cause of my imbalance. The acupuncture treatments, custom herbal formulas and nutritional advise you provide helped me alleviate some uncomfortable symptoms and with my overall health, brining my body back into balance. I am appreciative of your time to help me better understand my medical diagnoses, lab reports and counsel me on various vitamins and nutritional supplements too. Thank you, again, Beverly for helping me with my recent healing crisis and help me restore and bring balance to my body and mind for optimum health and wellness.
