Our Upcoming Speaker:
 Completing
her undergraduate studies in Biology and Botany, Dr. St.
Clair pursued further education in biophysics and
medicine. Her awareness of the power of natural healing
was ignited and her passion for alternative medicine
began. She opted for graduate studies in Chinese
medicine in the US and in China. After years of formal
training and clinical experience, in 1987 she opened a
clinic for comprehensive natural health care.
Her thirst for knowledge drove her to continue studying
and learning new techniques and modalities to promote
healing. Through extensive teachings in energetic
medicine combined with her scientific understanding of
the physics of the mind/body connection, she offers
masterful insight into the healing process for her
clients.
Love for animals led her to develop a fully integrated
therapeutic system especially for them. Integrative
Therapy embraces the very best of available techniques
in natural healing. Her knowledge of orthopedic
manipulation, kinesiology, homeopathy, eastern and
western herbal medicine and nutrition provides her
patients with all the tools available to facilitate
their recovery, maximize good health and maintain
vitality through all phases of life.
The Doctor’s Message
During my 20 years in the practice of oriental medicine,
I have found that alternative modalities coupled with
conventional techniques bring unexpected positive
results. People have benefited for thousands of years
with these approaches and techniques. Animals in
particular have an affinity for natural healing. I am
continually awestruck by the profound results brought
about using these natural, healthy and scientific
methods. Please see

Our Previous Speaker:
 Paula
Brown is an animal communicator whose expertise is
getting to “The Heart of Conversation” with her animal
and people clients. She is located in Encinitas, CA
communicating telepathically and working energetically
with animals all over the world, helping to bridge
understanding and healing between animals and their
people.
After
completing her various studies in animal communications
along with augmenting her knowledge and practices of the
energetic principles of nature (see below), Brown began
taking referrals from around the world as her successful
communications practice, The Heart of Conversation (Bird
in Hand), grew and became the established practice that
it is now known for today.
Paula’s
new book “Fur Shui” An Introduction to Animal Feng Shui
will be released April 2008. A new energy exploration
for animals and their people!
Paula
Brown on Paula Brown:
From an early age, I’ve had a natural attraction and
strong connection to nature and animals. I’ve spent
much of my life loving, caring and interacting with
animals, which has motivated me to telepathically
communicate with all types of species. Using both
telepathic conversation as well as energetic
readings I find out quickly what is happening in
both the physical and emotional bodies of an animal.
My communications are noted for having a deep sense
of compassion, along with the ability, to quickly
and deeply connect with the core of an issue.
My
studies include being a graduate (as well as being
invited to be one of Carol’s referral practitioners)
of Carol Gurney’s (communicator/author) training
program and her Body Balancing courses. A love of
horses and great desire to deeply understand and
help equine have also led me to study at Monty
Robert’s Flag is Up Farm in Solvang, CA. I also have
completed the Flower Essence Society (FES) program
in Nevada City, CA. I am a Feng Shui
practitioner and graduate of the Tibetan / Hawaiian
Institute of Black Hat Feng Sui (Under Feng Shui
Master Nathan Batoon), as well as a graduate of
Emperor’s Traditional Chinese School of Medicine’s
(Santa Monica, CA) Medical Qi Gung curriculum. My
dowsing of chi and energies in animals continues my
membership in the national dowser’s society of the
Ozark Research Institute in Fayetteville, AK. I have
enjoyed sharing as a guest lecturer for holistic and
alternative healing organizations and have taught
various animal communications workshops.
My
greatest desire is to provide a space for heart
connections between animals and their people. Heart
communications provide a place for positive healing
and are guided by love, gentleness and empathy. Each
communication brings greater understanding, respect,
resolution, healing and love for both person and
animal. Communicating with animals is not only
rewarding, it is simply a
joy!

well as Whippets. As a professional handler, he
guided the careers of many top winning dogs,
including Best in Show winning Whippets and Bichon

Hound, Terrier, Non Sporting, and Toy Groups, but
also included many breeds in the other three groups.

position of Executive Director of Publicity for the
book publishing company, Jeremy P. Tarcher, Inc.
From September 1992 through mid-1997 he headed his
reestablished independent public relations firm.
From mid-1997 through the end of 2002 he was the
Director of Marketing/Sales/Publicity at Renaissance

and audiobook publishing company. Presently he heads
Dougherty & Associates Public Relations, an
independent PR and marketing agency.
In 1985 Dougherty
