Dr. Stephenie Riley is a Naturopathic Doctor practicing in Tahoe City. Naturopathic medicine is a comprehensive system of primary health care that employs natural treatment methods to stimulate and support the body’s innate system for self-healing. The goal is to identify and remove the obstacles preventing a person from being in a state of optimal health and well-being.

Dr. Riley employs an integrative approach, drawing from both conventional medicine and alternative approaches in her work with a patient. Although there are common foundations, all work is tailored to the individual. She places great emphasis on diet and lifestyle changes, as these are the changes clients carry forward into their lives and can employ on a daily basis.

Work can range from simple consultations on diet, lifestyle and supplementation; to performing blood work and using naturopathic guidelines for interpretation. Such extended interpretation includes not only using value ranges for optimal health, but also the combination of values designed to extract more information from standard lab values in determining a patients more personal needs.

Dr. Riley is also trained in Cranial Sacral and Visceral Manipulation through Upledger Institute, as well as Nalbudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET). NAET is used to treat allergies and sensitivities through a combination of applied kinesiology and acupressure.

Carl Phillip Pomey, BSc is an alternative and complimentary practitioner of nutritional medicine located in Tahoe City, Ca. Called Nutrition Health Care Services. He began his career in 1970 as a sports nutritionist using the hygienist system of health developed by Herbert Shelton.

Carl’s philosophy is devoted to finding the cause of health problems rather than treating only the symptoms. Using scientific methods of analysis of hair, stool, and urine, saliva and iridology, Carl can determine the biochemical individuality and functional imbalances in a person. Applying the principles of natural nutrition, detoxification and right living lifestyles allows the body to heal itself physically and mentally. Carl’s purpose is dedicated to the ideal of increased harmony in the human body through a better understanding and application of sound nutrition health care practices. Using known and established nutritional deficiency signs and an evaluation of the daily food intake, you will learn how nutrition and food relate to optimal health. Without proper nutrition and exercise, optimal health and well being cannot be attained. Good nutrition is essential for normal organ development and functioning, for normal reproduction, growth and maintenance, for optimal activity levels of working efficiency, for resistance to infection and disease and for the ability to repair bodily damage or injury.

Dr. James Keehner, Ph.D

760 – 832 – 6719

Dr. James Keehner, a nationally known psychic, medium and healer, received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Louisville, and his Ph.D. from The Catholic University of America. While serving two years as a commissioned officer in the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service, he was the Supervising Field Psychologist for the National Health Survey, and he later worked as a research psychologist at the National Center for Health Statistics. For five years he was a clandestine service officer for the U.S. Government. In 1985, as a licensed psychologist, he established and directed the Center for Chemical Dependency in Washington, D.C., and later had a private psychotherapy practice in D.C. and Delaware. Retired from the formal practice of psychology, and while functioning as a medium, James established the Center for Energetic Development, with the goals of promoting the scientific study of consciousness, and to help those who are seeking a path for Self Realization. True mediumship can demonstrate the continuity of consciousness, and this is often the first step towards Self Realization. However, for an individual to reach the full state of Enlightenment, a method is needed. The staff of the Center teaches the Eight Step Method for meditation, given to the world by Patanjali, the father of yoga. On a personal level James combines his knowledge of psychology and metaphysics with his gift of mediumship to console those in grief and to give guidance on relationships and career issues. Often those in Spirit have a unique perspective on personal matters and are willing to give loving guidance.

Take your Practice Outdoors

Enjoy the Incomparable Sites of Tahoe City. Below are listed the most popular hikes. Tahoe weather conditions can change rapidly. Trails may be under snow in some areas, especially in late spring. Be prepared with proper clothing, equipment, and WATER no matter how short the hike. Backcountry users need to obtain a visitors permit for any hike into desolation wilderness. ENJOY!

Eagle Falls / Eagle Lake

This trail starts at Eagle Falls Picnic Area, Highway 89 across from Emerald Bay, Permits are required on this hike and a self-registration station is at the trailhead. The hike is only about two miles round trip to Eagle Lake; the terrain varies from steep to flat and crosses beautiful Eagle Falls on a steel footbridge.

Emerald Bay – Vikingsholm

Trail starts at the parking area on the North side of Emerald Bay, on Highway 89. It’s a wide, well-maintained trail, but fairly steep, about 2 1/1 miles round trip. At the bottom of the trail is a picnic area, as well as world-famous Vikingsholm, a replica of a Scandinavian Castle.

Glacier Meadow Loop

A very short, self-guided nature trail that begins and ends at Eastbound I-80 rest stop on Donner Summit. This is a relaxing stroll with signs along the trail explaining how glacial action carved and polished the area.

Loch Leven Lakes

Three beautiful glacial tarns make up the Loch Leven Group. A well-graded trail climbs three miles to the first lake and then reaches two more in the next few miles. The Island-Dotted Lakes are beautiful and excellent for swimming. Trailhead: Big Bend Exit off I-80. The parking lot is 1/8 mile East of the Visitor Center. A good hike if you’re headed for Sacramento or the Bay area at day’s end.

Lower Lola Montez Lake

From I-80 West of Truckee, take the Soda Springs Exit, make two quick rights, passing the Fire Station, to the trailhead and parking area. Follow the trail North until you come to a road that will take you across Castle Creek (may cause some wet feet in springtime). Follow road about ¼ mile to a trail which veers to the right. Another ¼ mile ahead, the trail rejoins the road. Continue climbing on the road about 1 mile until you reach a flat, open meadow where the road ends. The trail begins in the meadow but may be difficult to follow due to overgrowth. At the fork in the meadow, bear right to go to the lake, which is about ¼ mile ahead. There are campsites and fishing. This is an easy 6-mile round-trip hike. Much of the trail is on private property; hikers are requested to stay on the trail and observe the rights of landowners.

Marlette Lake

Trail starts near Spooner Lake Picnic Area, at the junction of Highway 28 and 50, Nevada (Green Metal Gates on East side of 28). It’s about five miles each way to the lake but it’s mostly mild terrain (one full day will do it). Years ago, its water was diverted to Incline Village via flume and used to shoot logs through a tunnel to Washoe Valley for use in the Virginia City mines. (No Fishing.)

Rubicon Trail

This shoreline route starts in D.L. Bliss State Park, about 13 miles south of Tahoe city on Highway 89. The trail has moderate ups and downs, following an undeveloped portion of Lake Tahoe’s shoreline for about three miles to the mouth of Emerald Bay, from there it follows the Bay Shoreline another 1 ½ - 2 miles to Vikingsholm. (Note: Vikingsholm up to Highway 89 is a steep mile but the hearthy can return along the highway instead of doubling back on the trail.) Handicap accommodations are available with advance reservation. State Park Fee: $5 per vehicle. No Dogs are allowed on the trails in State Parks. Call (530) 525 – 7077 for information.

Cheyenne Lake

It’s in Squaw Valley and the trail starts at the end of Squaw Peak Road. (There are numerous trails which follow the creek up to Cheyenne Lake; this is one of them.) It follows Squaw Creek about 2 ½ miles each way to Cheyenne Lake, passing gorgeous waterfalls and canyon boulders. (top of tram to Cheyenne Lake adds considerable distance.) Going uphill, stay to the left of the creek; going downhill, stay to the right. The trail diverges and disappears at times but just keep following the creek and you’ll get there. Carry WATER. The hike is somewhat difficult and takes 2 ½ - 3 hours. Wear appropriate clothing and shoes.

Summit Lake

From I-80 take Donner Summit Rest Area Exit and park. Just beyond the picnic tables behind the building are trails signs for Summit and some longer trails.

Tunnel Creek Station

Trail road starts at Nevada Highway 28, across from Hidden Beach, about one mile past Ponderosa Ranch (no sign, look for gate). A steep trail road, about 1 ½ miles each way, at the ruins of the Western portal of the Old Log Flume Tunnel. Limited parking along Highway 28.

Five Lakes Trail

From the intersection of Highway 89 and Interstate I-80, drive 9.9 miles south on Highway 89 to Alpine Meadows Road. Continue on Alpine Meadows Road 2.1 miles to the trailhead parking pullouts along the road. Five Lake Trail climbs along a ridge overlooking a rocky canyon into the Granite Chief Wilderness with spectacular granite formation and sheer cliffs. The hike up to the lakes is the best part of the trip. All five tree-lined lakes are small yet beautiful. Hike distance is 4.5 miles round trip and takes approximately three hours with a 980 foot elevation gain.

Angora Lakes

From the Y-Junction of Highway 50 and Highway 89, drive 3.1 miles west on highway 89, the Emerald Bay Road, to Fallen Leaf Road on the left (south) – turn left.

Drive 0.4 miles to the first road on the right – Angora Ridge Road #1214 – turn right. This partially paved road follows the ridge 2.9 miles to the trailhead parking lot at the end of the road. A visit to the Angora Lakes is an easy, enjoyable trip. The short Hike leads to lower and upper Angora Lakes. It is a great place to lay on the beach, swim, fish, rent a boat, sip lemonade and eat. Hiking distance is 1.5 miles round trip and takes approximately one hour with a 250 foot elevation gain.

Ellis Peak

From Tahoe City Head South on Highway 89 for 4 miles to Blackwood Canyon Road (look for Sno-Park Sign) Take the road straight back and veer left where the road comes to a "I". Drive up Barker Pass Road about 7 miles until the pavement ends. The trailhead is on the left. Ellis Peak is a moderately challenging hike that starts off with a steep ascent for the first mile and then descends into a pine forest. This hike offers panoramic views
