Center

Welcome to The Center, a unique sanctuary for healing and wellness that integrates Eastern and Western approaches to healthcare. Our goal is to provide individuals with a variety of quality integrative therapies, workshops, and presentations that are geared to inform, empower, promote healing, and/or maintain wellness of body, mind, spirit, and emotion. We believe that each person is equipped with the innate wisdom and capacity to heal on every level, and that the key to staying well is to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Our approach to health caters to the whole of the individual (body, mind, spirit, and emotion) instead of managing symptoms. This approach takes the individual away from 'managed care' and into a natural state of well-being that includes the elimination of the root cause of the symptoms that are a reflection of the imbalances in the body's system. This also creates a level of understanding that continues their wellness process well after their treatments end.

The Center was founded by Mary Ann Giacona, who has been practicing natural medicine for over 30 years. The facility is a former Gothic church and school located at 1 Hoffman St. in Auburn, NY, and has been fully renovated and restored. It is truly a place where you can take charge of your life and experience a lifestyle of wellbeing.

Services

At The Center, we listen to the needs of our patients/clients and cater to a full spectrum of personal and health-related concerns. Whether you are looking to maintain good health, find an escape from everyday stress, or seeking help with illness or life balance, we can help. Our services include a variety of integrative therapies, workshops, and presentations designed to empower and promote healing.

We understand that each human being is unique and should be treated accordingly. What may be healthy and healing for one may not be the case for another. This includes areas of nutrition, exercise, techniques for staying healthy, and approaches to treating dysfunction and disease. Our services, workshops, and presentations continually seek to bring individuals to a place of empowerment that will allow them to take control of their wellness process and help them cultivate their own authenticity in what they personally need for maintaining health.

Our Philosophy

We believe that the role of the patient/client should be participatory rather than passive. Hence, the need for self-observation, communication, and the willingness to create change (if needed) is encouraged. Our approach to health caters to the whole of the individual (body, mind, spirit, and emotion) instead of managing symptoms. This approach takes the individual away from 'managed care' and into a natural state of well-being that includes the elimination of the root cause of the symptoms that are a reflection of the imbalances in the body's system.
