The
Innate Healing Arts Center encompasses many things: a vegetarian cafe, chiropractor and holistic healing, massage, colon therapy, art and music.
From the extensive garden outside to the calm decor of the interior, Innate aims to soothe, clarify and, of course, heal its visitors. "I had this idea of the countryside, animals, land -- and that's the gist of this place," says Dr. Robert Pizzimenti, AKA Dr. Bob. "We wanted to create a setting that healed you when you look at it."
Dr. Bob bought the building in 2002. He's been a practicing chiropractor for more than two decades, but, since opening Innate, has expanded his purview to encompass a more holistic brand of treatment. "Healing is a science, a philosophy, an art," he says. "I finally got that after 22 years ... I'm healing, not fixing."
Innate's vegetarian cafe is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, with Sunday brunch served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is meditation on Tuesday evenings, a drum circle on Wednesdays, vibrational healing bowls on Thursdays and jazz on Fridays.
Dr. Bob cherishes his view of Palmer Park. "If I look a distance, I'd think I was in Pennsylvania," he says. "I get an amazing sunset right here." Innate is at 18700 Woodward at Goldengate, three blocks south of Seven Mile. Call 313-366-2247.
Innate accepts most forms of medical insurance for treatment with Dr. Bob. He's offering Model D readers 20% off their initial consultations.
