A new health and wellness offering will open its doors to clients this weekend.

Feldman Wellness Center, located on the third floor of the Press Building on Mattison Avenue, will begin accepting clients from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The practice is a satellite to Edward Feldman’s Kingston office, in operation for 22 years.

“I’ve been spending time down and here and I love it,” Feldman said of his decision to open the second practice. “I feel it’s progressive as a community, which says a lot.”

Feldman offers an integrated approach to address chronic pain and an an array of neurological conditions. He is a registered CranioSarcal therapist, certified Feldenkrais practitioner, who uses  Designed Clinical Nutrition and Activator Chiropractic Method; all non invasive, drug and surgical approaches.

“This work is great for situations that don’t get handled medically,” he said. “People are getting inundated with chemicals and its stopping their system from working and processing. That’s why people aren’t getting better.”

Feldman begins by conducting a nutritional evaluation known as Nutrition Response Testing. He uses a homeopathic test kit and Standard Process – an organic farm’s concentrated nutritional supplements, and concentrated herbal remedies to address an array of health issues.

“It’s sort of like highly dense packed food; if you had a 100 servings of broccoli, kale or spinach,” he said.

At a grand opening Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce welcome event, Clinical Nutritionist Sarah Outlaw gave an overview of why thyroid health is paramount to overall health.

“If the thyroid goes down so does everything else,” she said. “An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, and up to 60 percent of these people are unaware of their condition.”

Feldman said everything from a fungus, parasite, chemical, or scar, could be affecting one’s adrenal system or body’s energy field.

“We have to handle that before we build up the thyroid,” he said.

Kelli Thomas, Feldman’s assistance at the Kingston office, said her own pain management struggles led her to a career in the holistic therapy field. The former runner and cheerleader said a car accident during high school left her struggling with pain for 10 years.

“I was about to get surgery when I started looking outside of the box,” Thomas said. “I started doing yoga, I started working out again, and then I started to look deeper.”

Feldman Wellness Center is located at 603 Mattison Ave, Suite 326. The winter hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and by appointment. A half price discount is being offered through November’s end for the $180 initial evaluation.
