Metta Community Wellness Center is a multidisciplinary health clinic and movement studio located in Red Hook, New York.
Welcome to our Facebook page! The Metta Center is the collaborative creation between Paul and Allison Hutchins and the many members of our diverse community. Our mission is to provide the Hudson Valley with a warm and friendly environment where you will find effective tools to meet the challenges of the day and the support needed regain and maintain health, vitality and happiness.
We recognize that the demands placed on us in this day and age are often overwhelming. When our capacity to function well does not meet this demand, we begin to break down. This can look like depression, sickness, pain, destructive behavior, or any of a myriad of other manifestations. We must find ways to increase our capacity to function well under stress and to reconnect with our purpose and our inspiration in life. In a time where we are inundated with toxic thoughts, toxic foods, toxic culture and sometimes even toxic healthcare, we are called to take a stand, to educate ourselves and to pursue those things which aid in the positive and healthy expression of the human being.
If this rings true for you, we invite you visit us and see for yourself if there is something here to enrich your life.
Dr. Paul Hutchins is a graduate of Cornell University and Palmer College of Chiropractic. He specializes in Applied Kinesiology and uses a range of adjusting styles including low force and no force adjusting techniques. He also employs a variety of other modalities depending on the need of the client and the nature of the issue. His approach utilizes the Chinese five element theory and ranges from pure structural work up through the more refined aspects of a person including acupuncture meridian therapy, cranial sacral work and emotional processing work. You will experience the interrelationship of all these aspects for yourself in your sessions with Dr. Paul.
His work benefits people dealing with all kinds of conditions and can often resolve long standing issues that have persisted through other therapies. He is available for free consultations upon request.
