About Hoen Publishing
Hoen Publishing was founded in 2007 by Theresa
Renner and Eldon Renner,
who have owned and run Renner Consulting, Inc., since 2000.
Hoen Publishings goal with the Guide is simple: to help the public who are looking for holistic practitioners, and help you as practitioners by giving
you a targeted advertising venue.
To accomplish these two goals, we will publish the Guide annually, and create an easy-to-use searchable online directory, so people can find the help they
need, and you can be sure they can find you.
Find out more about the people behind the Guide by reading their profiles,

Cheratana Harmon, Graphic Designer and Artist
Born and raised in North Idaho, Cheratana attended Seattle Central
Community College, where she received her A.A. in graphic design. After
six years working for graphic design firms, Cheratana struck out on her
own more than four years ago, becoming a much-in-demand freelance
graphic designer and artist.
Cheratanas introduction to holistic health began early: shes the
oldest of six in the family of a midwife. Cheratana practices a holistic
lifestyle, and her desire to enlighten people about choices and
alternatives with holistic health motivated her to create the first
Guide to Healing and Wellness for the Sandpoint area.
Inspired by
friends who are holistic practitioners, she has followed her passion for
holistic healing and begun studying Reiki, in addition to undertaking a
medicine-wheel journey with a shaman healer.
I have a strong connection with nature that fuels an insatiable
desire to discover beauty and truth in its most natural evolution and
then convey it to others. When taking on a graphic design project, I
look for the inner essence, that part that is the message wanting to be
seen, then give visual form to it in a way that communicates its secret.
May your visions become reality.
Cheratana's magnificent jewelry creations, along with her other art,
including stained glass patterns, are available at

Theresa Renner, Editor and Copywriter
A New England native, Theresa came to the Inland Northwest to attend the University
of Idahoand never left. While earning a degree in American Studies at the University
of Idaho, Theresa interned at the University Press, and edited several non-fiction books,
including an Idaho Book Award winner, One Winter in the Wilderness.
Theresa has worked as a writing and editing professional for more than ten years, writing
everything from sales copy for toothpaste, to grant proposals for non-profits such as
Kinderhaven in Sandpoint, and SNAP, a Kodak Foundation, in Rochester, New York. Her interest
in holistic healing dates back to her teen years.
When I was 13, I became friends with a girl who, along with her mom,
was very involved in New Age practices. I knew it was what I had been looking for,
and holistic health became a part of my life from then on. I gave birth at home twice, and my entire family is treated by a naturopathic doctor. Just in the last few
years, energy healing and applied kinesiology have cured me of a severe allergy to metal,
undone old damage to my neck and back, and taught me to center my energy.
Theresa lives with her husband, Eldon, and two daughters in Sandpoint, Idaho,
where she practices yoga and meditation regularly.
