PATH Method developed from the intersection of two life journeys. Dr. Raoul Goldberg spent decades as an integrative physician, trained in the anthroposophic clinics of Switzerland and Germany, searching for knowledge that could reach the deeper roots of chronic illness.
Dana Smirin arrived at his Cape Town practice in 2011 in the midst of her own healing journey, bringing a lifetime of study in consciousness, systems thinking, and embodied practice. What began as a doctor-and-patient relationship became a collaborative partnership, and out of that PATH Method was born.
Together, Dr. Goldberg and Dana Smirin spent years refining a way of working that invites a person to step outside a fixed belief or story, then witness themselves and find resources within to change their story. They tested their approach in workshops from Cape Town to California and many places in between, and eventually they named it PATH Method, shaping it, movement by movement, into a five-step choreography now practiced around the world.
Inside Path to Health Center
The physical Path to Health Center is itself part of the medicine, a place patients describe as feeling like a home rather than a clinic, holding both warmth and medical rigor. Dana’s design brief was simple: “I want nature in the room with me. I do not want fluorescent light bulbs, square rooms, barely a window. I want it to feel like art, because art is part of medicine.” You can see the mountain from a therapy room.
