Trauma lead me to a journey of self-discovery and healing that I use today as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. I share my story with the dream that it is a source of inspiration and hope for others who may be going through similar struggles. It shows that it is possible to overcome trauma and find a sense of purpose and fulfillment in life again. By embracing my unique skills and knowledge, I have found a way to use my experiences to benefit others and make a difference in their lives. My knowledge in reiki, crystal energy, aromatherapy, and herbs offers a holistic approach to healing that addresses not just the physical but also the emotional and spiritual aspects of a person’s well-being.

I am a licensed midwife in clinical practice for 12 years and an MAT provider for 3 years. As a midwife, I have worked in private practice and federally qualified health centers providing quality gynecologic care for all patients no matter what language they speak and regardless of their ability to pay for services. I became certified to prescribe medication for opioid use disorder in 2020 and worked with women struggling with substance use disorders in an outpatient setting for two years and now in private practice. I believe all patients deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

Hi, I’m Fiona Malamen and I’m a lifelong student of the body. We don’t live our lives in a straight line but in cycles, in ups and downs, moments of clarity and truth or confusion and distress. Since I graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Columbia Greene Community College in 2006, I have been holding safe space for healing and the recovery of homeostasis, the body’s “happy place.” This healing work is a collaborative partnership that prioritizes deep listening, something that is all too scarce in our broken and unequal healthcare system.

After graduating from SUNY New Paltz with a degree in Biology and Psychology, a session with mentor and local luminary Nina Silverman, P.T. introduced me to the osteopathic modality of Counterstrain. In this Indirect Approach, the therapist follows the signals of the body and releases occur in the direction of ease, rather than going against the tension and the body/mind defenses, to effectively relieve pain and inflammation.

Other influences in my life that helped me recognize the value of this approach include dance, West African dance, Eastern medicine philosophy and Buddhist psychology, a passion for Anatomy and my own self-compassionate healing process.

When I’m not being humbled by this work, gardening, foraging and hiking the Catskill peaks are a great source of pleasure and perspective.
