Description

Specialties

1. The Whitten Method (WM) treats not only the spine, but also the extremities, cranial bones, teeth, jaw, fascia, muscles, and scar tissue. As a result adjustments hold.

2. WM evaluates and balances the meridians and five elements of Chinese medicine. This is ignored by traditional chiropractic.

3. WM can test your allergies, infections, organ function, hydration, stress level, inflammation, chemical deficiencies, toxicities, hormones and more…

4. WM addresses and easily clears self limiting beliefs, fears, anger, emotional trauma, ancestral patterns.

5. WM accelerates personal growth and freedom at all levels.

History

Established in 1999.

I have spent over fifteen years developing a healing system that is tremendously comprehensive, yet easy to teach. This form of muscle testing is called The Whitten Method and is cornerstone of the practice.

I now teach and certify Whitten Method practitioners across the country. My students have included everyone from students and stay-​at-​home moms to massage therapists and medical doctors. See my website for upcoming workshops.

Meet the Business Owner

Hesu W.

Business Owner

With over 15 years of healing experience, helping others feel well is Dr. Hesu Whitten’s greatest passion. Growing up, Dr. Whitten was a sick kid, really sick. It was always one illness after another. His dad would take him to the medical doctor to get antibiotics, a shot, or some other pills that never worked. Ever since 1985, when Dr. Whitten was healed of chronic illness and fatigue by a truly gifted holistic doctor, he has been passionate about learning how to help others with conditions that prevent full, active, and healthy lives. Today, Dr. Whitten is a magna cum laude graduate of Parker College who has lectured to hundreds and made numerous technical advances within the chiropractic profession.

Ive seen Dr. Whitten many times. He has always relieved my neck and shoulder pain. He’s very helpful with addressing your health concerns by muscle testing what your body needs. Fabulous. Go see him.
I also studied the Whitten Healing Method with Hesu and use it as needed with my massage clients.

Dr Whitten is wonderful and a miracle worker. Anytime I have had neck, back, knee or any kind of pain he has helped me become healthy and pain free again. One time my brother threw out his shoulder and was fixed in one session. I can’t praise him enough. :)

I was at a crossroads when I first saw Dr Whitten, but the signposts were blank. I had no clue where I was going from here. At 70, I was afraid I would succumb to the cultural norm and start going downhill.
He asked my Inner Wisdom the right questions and resolved the blocks that were holding me back from being all that I can be. The question I remember most clearly was, «Am I living a big enough life?» My Spirit clearly said «No!!!»
Since then I have moved forward at a huge pace, seeing the path clearly in front of me. I don’t have to see the whole map, I just have to see the next steps. I feel as if I stepped off the downhill path just in time and now I’m headed for the high mountains.
Dr Hesu is a game-​changer, a catalyst for growth! Don’t wait until you have something wrong with you physically, see him when you need to see your path ahead.

After seeing a string of holistic practitioners over the past couple of years, I had a strong gut feeling to call Dr. Whitten after seeing his profile on a local wellness directory. Sure, I had a minor medical complaint or two, but it was the completion of healing a major emotional trauma (and its resultant fallout) that I really needed assistance with. In only two months of treatments, I’ve literally made more progress than I have in the past two years. I feel completely myself again, which is something that I’d been starting to doubt was even possible. Dr. Whitten is a chiropractor, energy medicine practitioner, and health coach rolled into one, and has demonstrated a vast scope of holistic medical knowledge that I’ve only ever experienced in dealings with naturopathic physicians; certainly not with any chiropractor except him. Additionally, he has taken the practice of Clinical Kinesiology to the level of total mastery, then even further refined it over time to determine and deliver the absolute optimal treatment modalities for his patients at each and every visit. To top it all off, he has great warmth, compassion, integrity, and humor. I feel more relaxed and trusting with Dr. Whitten than I’ve ever felt with any chiropractor at any time in my life. If you are someone who is interested in optimal health and well-​being at every level, I cannot possibly recommend him enough!

I walked into a light filled room and was instantly happy I’d made the appointment although I didn’t know I would respond so well. It’s been months since I was able to see myself in my eyes not to mention the euphoric vibe I’ve been swimming in since Dr. Whitten’s treatment I had this morning. I have to say it is quite amazing work. After having some difficult dental work, my neck seemed out of alignment which is why I sought out help. Having Dr. Whitten work on me did in fact make my neck feel better and it doesn’t end there. The work he does takes into account not only structural and chemical but also emotional and energetic aspects which allows the healing process to gently come into play. I haven’t felt «quite right» for several months and I look forward to my next session and continued healing and I recommend seeing Dr. Whitten straight away as everyone can benefit from his well honed and truly masterful technique. He treats patients upstairs inside Simpatico Pilates at 1235 Coast Village Rd. in Montecito.

Hesu Whitten has been my only chiropractor since I met him in 2011. I first started seeing chiropractors in the seventies after I’d been in a car accident. I do a lot of yoga so I don’t need to see any chiropractor on a regular basis, but when something goes out of whack, Hesu is the only chiropractor I want to see. His treatments are deep and effective, and if you are the type of client that has evolved to the point you can discern the emotional underpinnings of dysfunction in the body, Hesu is your man. His Whitten Method is almost magic in terms of identifying what’s out of balance. I completely trust Hesu. I relax in his care, and walk out feeling deeply healed.

Hesu is the best chiropractor I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. I have always left his office feeling lighter and more aligned, and his service has been genuine. His self-​developed method is indicative of his talent, research, and practice. I would recommend Hesu to anyone and everyone!

Dr. Whitten began seeing me when I had a work injury to my neck. He took a holistic approach to my whole body and he did a wonderful job overall to get me aligned once again and pain free. I would recommend him to anyone.

I have been seeing Hesu for many years since I met him @ Casa De La Luna in Ojai. I am fortunate to have great health, & because of this I am very in tuned to any ailments when they do arise. The few issues I have had over the years Hesu has immediately detected & I have been literally cured within days. He is not only an amazing Chiropractor but a wonderfully spiritually gifted Healer. I highly recommend his gifts to anybody that needs deep healing and/​or Chiropractic’s.

Dr. Whitten is an outstanding chiropractor and healer. He uses unique methods to both diagnose and treat the whole body, far beyond standard chiropractic care. It may seem unusual but he really does do the job. I’ve seen him help to resolve issues that individuals have had for years, myself included. I can recommend him unequivocally.

I found Dr. Whitten through a friend referral as I was in need of some chiropractic care. Though I’ve been to many chiropractors throughout the years, I’ve never experienced anything like my visit with him. After an initial consultation, which seems pretty standard for all doctors, he used a method called ‘clinical kinesiology’ to asses my spinal, nutritional and emotional health. Ok, it seemed a bit too «out there» at first, but being the open minded skeptic that I am, I awaited his results. It blew me away that he was accurate on all of the areas of weakness that he located in my current state of health. By now, I was pretty intrigued by finding out more about a method that seemed so simple but was obviously quite accurate … so I’ve no doubt I exhausted him with an arsenal of questions, lol. Anyhow, I’ve been seeing Dr. Whitten ever since that first visit and have never been more satisfied with my level of health!
