Above the Cornerstone Coffeehouse along Market Street in Camp Hill, Andrea Minick Rudolph opens the door of Oryoki Zendo, a warm, peaceful room where she provides integrative mindfulness therapies.
Rudolph, who was ordained an Osho, or priest, in the Zen Buddhist tradition seven years ago, said her practice offers a diverse approach to wellness.
“It brings together everything I love – dealing with the whole person,” she said.
Rudolph uses Zen meditation, mindfulness counseling and life coaching, gentle stretching, toning, and relaxation classes, and DeepZoneTherapy, a whole-body approach she developed. It combines body work, energy balancing, and cognitive behavioral techniques.
Oryoki, or “that which is just enough,” is a mindfulness approach to living and eating, she said. “It is a relationship, a connection with all things, and an awareness of the ways that food, both spiritual and physical, comes to us.”
She will offer mindfulness cooking classes through Cornerstone Coffeehouse’s culinary kitchen and other venues.
Rudolph earned her degree in Buddhist studies and ministry from the Blue Mountain Lotus Seminary. From 1996 to 2009 she was a trainer for the Pennsylvania Department of Health, teaching health, wellness and stress management.
She was founder and director of AMR Wellness Associates in Harrisburg from 1996 to 2011, offering a variety of wellness services. Rudolph has been a certified massage therapist specializing in deep tissue and polarity therapies for 27 years.
