About Dr. John R.M. Day and the Haelan LifeStream Center
Born to physician parents, and the father of a physician, Dr. John Day's lifetime interest in healing and the multidimensional nature of our being began in 1960 when he met Helen Keller. Just 9 years old at the time he understood that Ms. Keller could psychically see, despite her physical blindness. The brief intimate time with Ms.Keller prompted an early curiosity about human intuitive and psychic ability.
His physician mother, the late Dr. Jane Day of Montgomery, Alabama, helped him understand at age 12 that healing comes from within by the action of self accountability and Divine Grace.
College and medical school studies were combined with independent studies of Eastern spiritual paths and cultural healing modalities. As a general and vascular surgeon in Boulder, CO, he developed and integrated the elemental components of the Haelan LifeStream model into his surgical practice as a teaching tool to assist his patients with their life process issues. In 2001 he retired from the surgical work to establish the Haelan LifeStream Center, offering the model on a full time basis. In 2007, he moved the Center to Crestone, CO, a beautiful retreat community located at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, just north of the Great Sand Dunes, in the San Luis Valley. This community is well known for embracing sustainability practices, and it is home to numerous spiritual centers from Eastern and Western paths.
In May 2009, the Haelan LifeStream Center moved to reopen in the Grants subdivision of Crestone, and the Center is now established as a live-in retreat for 1 or 2 people who may wish to come to this site for private retreat and enjoy the wonderful amenities and profound natural beauty of Crestone, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and the San Luis Valley. Clients who rent the retreat may also work with Dr. Day, as well as other holistic practitioners in Crestone, who are allied with the Center, and provide valuable healing services.
