Humiston Wellness

"I first met Dr. Karl Humiston 27 years ago, when he was practicing at the leading edge of holistic medicine, and my health improved significantly under his care. The lessons and learnings acquired from him have been invaluable to me all these years later. He helps those who cross his path to improve the connection to their abilities and potential. A better guide in this process would be hard to find. Karl Humiston is a man of uncompromising integrity and kindness of spirit who has helped strengthen my foundation and ability to navigate life."

"I met Dr. Karl Humiston in 1974, when I was 23 years old. I had food allergies and a lot of other problems that no one else knew how to help. Karl and his wife Bonnie worked with me. They never gave up on me. I have kept in touch with them over the years. I love Karl, and his wife Bonnie. Today, I'm 60 years old and I am doing well. I know you will love Dr. Karl Humiston's classes."

"I met Karl in 1970 at Western State Hospital, when my life was spiraling downward and out of control. My idea was to go to the hospital and rest, in that back ward with six roommates. But I was forced to go to group therapy with Dr. Humiston every day. I really didn’t want to go, but it was part of being there. Surprisingly, when I got there, I learned this new technique in feeling your feelings and seeing people and didn’t involve medications. Just the easiest oldest way of getting into feelings and going cold turkey. I attended these meetings after I got out. It was Christmas season and my divorce was going on. I had no skills, other than over-eating and over-medication, which after four hours left me flat again. Didn’t see Karl a couple of months while he went to Rolf school. Then I came to the groups at his house, and was with others like myself. Then I took the Rolfing, which took me even deeper and I couldn’t return to the old ways and had to stick with the new skills I was taught. In spring of 1971 the divorce came through, I was completely alone with my three small children, and had the skills to cope with that, go to school, get a job, and get remarried. It’s been a daily practice since – once you have these skills you can’t go backward, you can only go forward."

From a young age I wanted to do good in the world, to lead, to make a difference. So I strived as a youth and as an adult to be the best teacher, father, husband and friend I could. Sometimes I succeeded and it felt wonderful. Other times I failed, or felt like a failure, and I found myself trying to shut out my pain by unhealthy and addictive mindsets and behaviors. In December 2010, my friend Kathy recommended I meet with Dr. Humiston. I put down my barriers and listened intently to him, and sought to be fully honest with him and to open my mind and heart to his approach. From the very first meeting I realized that what Karl was doing was correct. Although I can't logically explain the power and efficacy of his approach, I have nonetheless been strengthened and changed by it. When I do the work he teaches, my cravings, triggers and temptations melt away and are replaced by a sense of power, control, understanding and calm. Although I know that my journey toward wholeness and wellness will be life-long, the results I've seen and the strength I've received from working with Karl already have been priceless.
