JOSEPH TERALIS ARISON, L.Ac.

Teralis is a faculty member of the ZBA, and is a
licensed Acupuncturist who has practiced for over 20 years. Teralis has a unique and eclectic background ranging from eastern Philosophy and Yoga to Mime and Metaphysics. His studies in Mainland China and India bring a rich understanding of eastern mysticism to the art of Acupuncture, Zero Balancing and Visionary Craniosacral Work. He is certified through the Milne Institute, and is on the recommended practitioner list. Teralis continues to be active in both the Zero Balancing and Visionary Craniosacral Work communities.

Joseph Teralis is a diplomat of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China and California Acupuncture College.

Working and living in Venice Beach, Teralis has created a healing sanctuary at his Ocean Front Healthcare office in Venice Beach, California. Teralis’ experience as a finish carpenter has come in handy at Ocean Front Medical where he is the handyman, painter, fountain builder, and gardener. With his wife Jo Ann, he has created an oasis where the environment allows him to do his best intuitive healing work. He specializes in all kinds of clients and connects with people of all ages, livelihoods and points of view.

As a practitioner, Teralis works in areas such as death and dying – creating a safe space where patients can talk, vent, or just be. Another specialty he has developed into is pre-and post-natal care. He is very comfortable around pregnant women and has been very successful in helping them become more relaxed, comfortable and calm during this exciting life passage. Teralis exhibits a sensitivity and humor while assisting his patients in dealing with career crisis, chronic pain, family issues and other life challenges.

Teralis practices yoga – which is where he met his wife Jo Ann in 1988, and is the proud father of two girls, Asfala Gabriella Arison 23, and Alexandra Kaliray Arison 3 – which keeps him on his toes.
