About Dr. Dane

Thrive Health Center grows out of the experience and commitment of Dr. Elizabeth Dane, an alternative medicine doctor who built a home in this area for retirement and to raise horses, but when she saw the need of her healing services among the people here, the vision seed of Thrive was planted.

Because of her own frustrating and unsatisfactory experiences with Western medicine in her early twenties, Dr. Elizabeth Dane eventually turned toward Eastern medicine. She earned degrees as an O.M.D. (Oriental Medical Doctor) and Ph.D. in Chinese Medicine and Philosophy. She is also certified in Massage Therapy and Hypnotherapy.

While Dr. Dane has studied widely in Eastern disciplines, she does not dismiss what is of value in mainstream Western medicine and science. She merges her knowledge of both traditions, frequently working in tandem with Western medical doctors to heal patients.

Dr. Dane has worked tirelessly with Western medical doctors in both Los Angeles and New York to provide her clients with the best that alternative medicine offers while they are undergoing their western medical treatments. “My goal is work in tandem with the Western medical doctors - not to exclude Western medicine - to help to bring the best of both worlds to my clients.” In this way, she has helped countless individuals remain balanced and strong while undergoing their medical treatments such as chemotherapy. She has also helped people regain their total health from the ravages of such diseases as diabetes, arthritis, allergies, fibromyalgia, infertility, osteoporosis, to name just a few.

Drawing on both Eastern and Western Medicine, Dr. Dane has coined the term “Meta-type” to describe six basic patterns of energy that she has found in people. Your Meta-type is more than just your metabolism — more than just how fast or slow your system runs. It describes your whole person — body, mind, emotions, heart and spirit.

In private practice since 1976 in both New York and California, Dr. Dane has earned a reputation as one of today’s foremost practitioners of Alternative Medicine. Dr. Dane, author of the book, Your Body, Your Diet is increasingly in demand as a speaker and workshop leader. Notable clients include actors Angelica Huston, Jack Nicholson,  Al Pacino, Stockard Channing, Lois Chiles, and Carole Shelley; songwriters James Taylor, Carol Bayer Sagan, Carly Simon and many more.
