Oasis Palisades

In 1984 I went to school to be a medical assistant and the very first doctor I worked for was a holistic MD. Dr. Pearl McBroom taught me all about holistic medicine. She had in her practice an acupuncturist, nutritionist, iridologist, homeopathy and so much more. Not only did I answer the phones and do all the billing I treated every single client before she saw them with a machine called the Acuscope and Myopulse it was basically Acu therapy with machines. I grew a love for holistic medicine. I worked for her for 15 years then went to work for a holistic chiropractor Bruce Beddoe for 18 years before opening Oasis Palisades with Toni Balfour an acupuncturist in 2007.
Now I get to run my own practice and see clients daily. My specialties have always been working with people with cancer and people in pain. My favorite modality is acupressure and reflexology.
I will soon be training in face massage for anti aging and look forward to offering a new service.

Hello Friends,

We now have two rooms, one of which is dedicated fully to The Harisienne Face and Scalp Treatment and our Eminence Organic facials. That is why we need your continued support, because we would not have a business without our amazing clients.
Through July, we want to offer $50 off both of our facial services and $50.00 off a one-hour massage and one-hour facial combo. Our newest service is a 30-minute massage and a 30-minute mini facial (no extractions). The normal price is $140.00. for July it will be $120.00.

Love, Oasis

Taking a drive down memory lane!!
So many feelings none that are good.
I could say the positives are for those who have been able to move back into their home that didn't burn or for those who have already moved back into their rebuild home. I know one person so far and for the businessess like Gerry Blanck’s Martial Arts Center that have got to come back.
Paws n' Claws Mobile Grooming inc is now mobile keep them in business. Vittorio's Italian at Canyon Square temporarily moved up the street from my house (we were in the same building in the Marquez.
I love Palisades Garden Cafe veggie burger so I went to get me one for lunch yesterday and wanted to take my son lunch also. He is now in the construction business and doing a rebuild in the neighborhood where my business was.
Angela Buttrey had a little taste this week of what we went through there was a fire 10 mins from her house but she said over 200 fire trucks came and saved all the homes. Why that couldn't have happened for us we will never know. I knew exactly what to tell her what was important to take when evacuating. I didn't lose my home but I did have to evacuate for 20 days
Most important thing to me was pictures and anything of real value except paintings lol
I did lose my business and couldn't get there to grab anything so trust me I know the feeling of great loss.
I really do with a group of people each morning on club house )gratitude and rain) practice gratitude so it's help put things into perspective but it doesn't matter if it was yesterday, one year, ten years or forever the palisades fire will never make sense and the loss for so many I know and love runs so deep. That's why our Monday morning coffee is so special because we have all been through a similar situation that those of you who didn't experience can't even imagine.
My mother in law who will be 90 will never forget all the things she lost but somehow she still counts her blessings. #2025

My first client was a patient from the chiropractor. Many years later the space nextdoor came available so Toni expanded and added another 800 square feet and opened the walls and Yin Yang Dermatology was born, which was Toni's dream. Only a few places like it even exist to this day. A full on manufacturing plant and pharmacy for her herbal business. She even had Kim Kardashian as a client. We spend 17 years in the Palisades until the fire took our business. Fast forward to now we are relocated to Santa Monica (for now) still offering all of our services. Toni has taken a break from Acupuncture and is still doing her Yin Yang Dermatology practice via tele-medicine, healing from cancer, starting a wellness podcast on Tik Tok and You Tube called "Healthier than Ever" and enjoying her family. I also found that she has a website www.behealthierthanever.com
Around 18 years ago Toni was pregnant and the president of the Palisades Chamber of Commerce (which no one has done since).

Stephanie is running the practice coordinating all the appointments and team as she also enjoys her family and being a grandma to 3 girls.

We are beyond grateful to all of our amazing therapist over the years
Maria, Marianne, Courtney, Gabriella, Barnett, Dee Dee, Donna, Tiya, Jenylyn and Dr.Debbie Dempsey
We honestly could not have done this without you!!

We also couldn't have done it all these years without our amazing clients support. We are beyond grateful that even though the fire changed everything for us that we still are here to serve you.
I am sad though that I don't get to see Toni everyday like I used to and that many of our friends and fellow businesses have been displaced.
May God be with us all❤️🙏😇
Love Forever Toni & Stephanie
Oasis Palisades and Yin Yang Dermatology

#1 of 2 post too many words!!

20 years ago these beautiful young women had a vision!!

Holistic Health.

Both of us at one time specializing in working with people with cancer

This is Stephanie's account of the process.

I was working for Bruce Beddoe a chiropractor in Pacific Palisades since 1989. Toni who is an Acupuncturist rented a room from Dr.Beddoe for 8 years. One day she asked me out of the complete blue if I wanted to start a business with her. she already had a business proposal and it had us making a lot of money lol
She also already had a location in the Marquez neighborhood it was for 50 years a appliance store (Jordan Appliance)
Scared out of my mind because I am a creature of habit I said YES!!
She had a friend who knew a architect
We initially started with 800 square feet
All custom designed from the wood desk to the built in cabinets it was a dream holistic wellness center. Reception area, 4 treatment rooms, kitchen and bathroom.
Toni needed a place to hand make her herbs for pets. Our kitchen was filled with big plastic containers with all the formulas.

Side note: filling herb bottles with a turkey baster was Josh's first job (maybe Rah also) everyone had to pitch in.

To be continued.........

Oasis Palisades has been in business for 19 years. We have always worked just by appointment which means sometimes we come and go several times a day. We try and accommodate our clients when they need early mornings or late evenings. We are open 7 days a week. You can come to us or we can come to you. We have special deals for first time appointments and when you want to try a new service.
Today's newest service for $140.00 is a 30 minute massage and a 30 minute eminence organic facial (no extractions).

Popular in Tokyo and Paris, Harisienne treatments have been being offered at Oasis Palisades since 2018. Our esthetician, Jenylyn, is one of only five practitioners with specialized training in this up-and-coming facial massage modality.
Harisienne treatments gently stimulate and massage the 31 muscles of the face and scalp. Small tools are used to create an uplifting effect and reshape the muscles to promote facial fitness. Although Harisienne is mostly done as a natural anti-aging treatment, this style of facial massage can also increase pore circulation and help in the fading of acne scars and age spots.
Take advantage of our introductory offer –
60-Minute First Visit $140.00 Regular Price is &170.00
To schedule your Harisienne treatment, call us today at (310) 454-5855.
