Natural healing practitioners have a new Lewes home
Located in the red barn at the corner of New Road and Nassau Road in Lewes, the Comfort Zone has been open for three years, said Ed Harrold, who owns The Comfort Zone with his wife, Wendy. The couple operated a string of studios in southern New Jersey before relocating to coastal Delaware.
The Comfort Zone is dedicated to helping people be responsible for their bodies, Ed Harrold said. “We don’t want to get caught up in the Western medical system,” he said. “We want people to be good stewards of their bodies.”
To that end, the Comfort Zone staff offers a range of services and specialities. Kari Ainsworth is a licensed massage therapist, a hot-stone therapist and a reiki practicioner. Konrad Noebel is also a licensed massage therapist, in addition to a certified mat Pilates instructor. Both are members of the American Massage Therapy Association.
Karen Barwick is a licensed counselor of mental health who has training in art, play and movement therapy, trauma treatment and Svadhyaya yoga. Barwick uses a physical, holistic approach to alleviate mental health problems, including depression and anxiety.
The Rev. Sue Greer specializes in energy medicine, which she has been practicing and teaching for more than 35 years. She shares an office with Ruth Lamothe, who calls herself a healer with kindness who has a bachelor of arts in psychology. She is trained in the Imago dialogue, a method of conflict-resolution.
Kim Furtado received her doctor of naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University. Her practice, Lewes Healing Arts, recently became a part of Comfort Zone. A member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, Furtado’s specialties include herbal medicine, homeopathy, flower essence therapy and environmental medicine.
The Harrolds are happy to have Furtado join their enterprise. “It’s great,” said Ed Harrold. “We’re on the same wavelength.”
The Comfort Zone also offers yoga, Pilates and other fitness classes, as well as retail items, including meditation cushions, DVDs, CDs and books.
