About Us

Our mission is to serve the larger community by providing mindfulness and meditation practices that strengthen wellness, vitality, and consciousness. We I believe and try to emanate that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. That our basic nature is to be loving. Our goal is to help create a more enlightened community and to make these practices available to all. We each need one other to help us remember our basic good nature, the interconnectedness of life, and to use whatever shows up in our life as an opportunity for growth.

Who We Are

Ann Zimmerman, LAc, MAcOM

My life’s passion is practicing, studying, and inspiring a deeper sense of connection with ones’ true nature.

I became a devout student of yoga, meditation, and all things healing after my first yoga class at 18 years old in 1995. A year later, my father and I took my first trip to Nepal where I was able to witness cultures approaching their life from a place of sacred reverence. This mind blowing travel exposed me to Buddhism, Hinduism, Chinese medicine, and the amazing energy of the Himalayan mountains.

30 years later, I’ve made my life a practice of using whatever shows up on my path as an opportunity for spiritual growth and deeper connection. Professionally, I have dedicated my healing practice to help others awaken to the gifts of their lives.

And just like you, I am human, I forget and get caught in my thoughts, the dominant cultures ideas of how I should be, I have my triggers, baggage from my upbringing, and moments of holding too tight. However, every morning I start again by dedicating myself to cultivating self awareness, to serving others, and to being kind with the clunkiness of being an imperfect human.

I have been teaching yoga, meditation, qigong and healthy living since 2000 and practicing Chinese medicine in Talent, Oregon for 16 years.. Outside of the clinic, I love meditating, gardening, hiking and spending time with friends and family.

Clark Zimmerman, LAc, MAcOM

I have been practicing meditation for over 30 years. What began as a curiosity in my childhood as a student of martial arts, expanded into a passion as I grew into an adult. I have always been interested in the taoist idea of balance as the guiding principle in life.

I studied massage at the Oregon school of massage, Traditional Chinese medicine at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, Five element style acupuncture with Lonny Jarrett, Vendanta with Amritanandamayi, Zen buddhism with Adyashanti, and Qi gong with masters Liu He, and Huixian Chen. I have also studied the esoteric teachings of Christian, Jewish and Sufi mystics.

I have been amazed to experience how each of these seemingly different paths all teach a very similar ideal of cultivating presence as the most effective way of coming to know the divine.

I weave together my knowledge of different spiritual paths with a fascination for science, and personal experience. I have been teaching Qi gong and meditation for over 15 years.

In my spare time, I enjoy juggling, playing music, meditation, yoga, gardening and an endless number of outdoor activities.
