SERVICES ARE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED DUE TO THE COVID-19 VIRUS.  PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES.

FREE AND LOW COST ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE SERVICES PROGRAM (FALCAM Program)

The Desert Light Healing Sanctuary focuses on helping individuals heal the whole self.  We recognize that physical healing is only a small part of the healing process, so we help facilitate the healing of the Mind, Body & Spirit.  We also help you learn how you can help yourself heal.

Research and studies show that alternative remedies such as massage, clinical hypnotherapy, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, and energy psychology, etc., may help reduce & eliminate conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, fibromyalgia, headaches, stress, soft tissue injuries, back pain, neck pain, chronic pain, TMJ, post surgical recovery, digestive disorders, depression, addictions and more that have affected those recovering from domestic abuse.

Our program allows us to provide services for the care of you or your family at the Desert Light Healing Sanctuary. You can apply for the program if you are a survivor of domestic abuse and need assistance to help pay for your care.

Qualifying for free and low cost services from the Sanctuary are based on family income and family size by the Federal Government Poverty Guidelines for the current year.
