Iona Healing Project
Rebuilding The Well-Being Of Those Who Call Iona, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva home.
In the wake of devastating Hurricane Ian, that wreaked havoc on ours
and so many neighborhoods, this initiative is designed to provide
support, healing and solace to individuals who weathered the storm’s
physical and emotional toll.
The Iona Healing Project offers low-cost and free treatments for those who endured the trauma of the storm, starting with individuals who were physically present during the hurricane.
Bringing Healing to Iona:
While significant strides have been made in rebuilding structures in Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva and our own Iona-McGregor Neighborhood, Dr. Brian recognizes the profound emotional scars that still linger.
From Trauma to Tranquility:
Dr. Brian shares personally:
“When the hurricane struck, my wife and I, like many others, faced terrifying moments unsure if we would make it through the storm alive. Now, as we rebuild, it’s also time to heal. We want to extend that healing hand to our neighbors in Iona, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva.”
Another Local Business Owner shares:
“Every time we get a heavy rain I flashback to the storm and feel anxiety wanting to take over. I just focus on my work and I get thru it but I’m not nearly as effective or efficient with what I’m doing.”
Special Offerings for Hurricane Survivors:
The Iona Healing Project offers low-cost and free treatments for those who endured the trauma of the storm, starting with individuals who were physically present during the hurricane. Recognizing the financial strain that often accompanies recovery, the project aims to alleviate stress, recalibrate emotional imbalances and relieve physical discomfort resulting from the aftermath.
Comprehensive Healing Modalities:
● Free/Low-Cost Massage and Acupuncture: Providing relief for physical aches, pains and residual discomfort from the storm
● Discounted Mental Health Counseling: Offering support to navigate the emotional toll, stress and anxiety associated with the storm
● Meditation Sessions: Promoting relaxation and mental clarity to restore balance
Moving Forward Together:
Dr. Brian emphasizes, “We’ve witnessed the trauma resurface this past hurricane season. Now is the opportune moment to address these lingering effects. We’re here to empower our community to embark on a journey of healing and renewal.”
This marks the beginning of a community-focused initiative to rebuild not just structures but the well-being of those who call Iona, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva home.
Fort Myers Acupuncture & Massage is committed to nurturing the physical and emotional well-being of our community, ensuring that the path to recovery is one of healing and hope.
