Alternative Healing for veterans and their families
Veteran Sanctuary is a holistic haven dedicated to empowering veterans, first responders, and their families on their journey to wellness. We’ve created a supportive community where you can take charge of your healing and personal growth. Through mindfulness education and connections with fellow members, we help you prevent disease and embrace vibrant health.
Our approach nurtures every facet of your well-being—physical, emotional, nutritional, and spiritual. Our skilled practitioners deliver compassionate, personalized care using unique techniques to promote optimal health. To further support our community, we’ve built a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) gym and yoga studio right next to our clinic, offered completely free to veterans and first responders. These spaces are designed to foster movement, strength, and connection, helping you find health and balance through active community engagement.
At Veteran Sanctuary, we believe healing thrives in community. Join us today to experience personalized treatments, mindful movement, and a supportive network dedicated to your well-being.
Together we heal
Our story
At Veteran Sanctuary, we provide holistic acupuncture and bodywork tailored to the unique needs of veterans and their families. Founded by husband-and-wife team Dane and Takhinsha Hollis, our clinic is more than a healing space—it’s a mission born from necessity.
Dane, a combat veteran, faced serious injuries from his service and found little relief in conventional Western treatments. Determined to find a better path, he used his GI Bill to study across the U.S., eventually meeting Takhinsha at a massage school in San Diego. Takhinsha, a former Pan American Games Taekwondo champion, was on her own healing journey, overcoming chronic headaches and pain from years of intense training. United by a shared passion for alternative healing, they embarked on a transformative journey.
To discover truly effective methods, Dane and Takhinsha ventured to remote regions of Asia, immersing themselves in ancient practices and testing techniques on their own bodies. They studied hundreds of styles, healed themselves, and mastered the approaches to help others. Veteran Sanctuary embodies the wisdom gained from these experiences, offering unique needling and bodywork techniques not found elsewhere in America.
Our philosophy centers on empowering patients. We believe healing begins with understanding your body’s signals. At Veteran Sanctuary, we take time to educate each patient, providing personalized treatments and practical lifestyle tools to manage symptoms effectively. Healing is a journey best taken together, and we’re committed to building a supportive community to help veterans and their families thrive.
