Alyssa Strong, Body Paint Artist 
Alyssa Strong is a native Santa Cruz lady who has been deeply passionate about art and creating since her early days as a child. She is currently studying Fine Arts and Spanish at Cabrillo and is preparing to transfer into a University next year to continue her studies. She has discovered that her greatest joys come from art work, community and of course, the beauty and meditation the ocean has to offer. She has been blessed to receive the compassionate guidance that Lotus offers and was able to cultivate a healthy relationship with not only food, but her spirit. She now dedicates her life to continue the work of recovery and her promise to nourish her authentic soul.
Alyssa learned her trade of face painting from her grandmother six years ago and has been working for various fairs around the Bay Area as well as individual events. Her body art is very unusual, for unlike most face painters, she does not cover the entirety of the face, but rather uses her designs as highlights.

TRUTH BERENSON, CMP
Integrative Counseling & Energy-based Bodywork

I practice psychologically and spiritually focused process ­bodywork which integrates energy­ based modalities and counseling techniques. I am a Certified Massage Practitioner trained in polarity therapy and massage through Cypress Health Institute and I currently attend Interchange Counseling Institute. I have an intuitive, discerning, and nurturing
presence and approach each individual with high regard and compassion. Listening to the inherent wisdom of the body, I support healing and growth within one’s immediate experience as well as in the broader context of one’s life. A session with me may provide you with:

∙ release of physical and emotional tension
∙ grounded self awareness
∙ connection with your intuition
∙ inspiration to live in your integrity and with self ­responsibility
∙ confidence to powerfully identify and communicate your desires
∙ spiritual and creative insight
Polarity Therapy is an energy based bodywork system that integrates Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine,
Osteopathy, Naturopathy, and other Eastern and Western healing modalities. Encouraging the body’s natural healing ability, it frees blockages in one’s body-­mind-­spirit. The therapy helps to balance the five elements of Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth in your body and how they show up in your life.

Kim Stewart, Esthetician

Hello my name is Kim Stewart.  I was born and raised in London, England.  I happily live and work in San Francisco and have my own skincare business. I have been an Esthetician for 14 years. It is a blessing and a privilege to have found a career that not only helps people feel good about themselves, realizing that the external appearance of blemishes, wrinkles or dullness of skin seriously affects one’s confidence and self esteem; so I strive to make you feel and look radiant and younger every day.  Caring for people’s needs and pampering them with TLC is my specialty.  I believe in keeping fit and healthy, so I use the best organic skincare ingredients: “Eminence Organic Skin Care products” These ingredients are freshly handmade in Hungary. We often get caught up in every day life activities and we forget about our own needs.  That is why I'm here to make sure you receive the best skin treatment and care for your well-being.
