Local naturopath returns to Lewisburg roots

By RealWV Staff,

LEWISBURG, W.Va. — Rob Meyer-Kukan says he has waited almost 50 years to move to Lewisburg, West Virginia.

“As a child, my fondest summer memories were visits to my grandparents in Lewisburg.  We’d make the long trip from our home in the Detroit, Michigan suburbs to Lewisburg over 2 days.  Staying overnight in Marietta, Ohio at a hotel with a pool overlooking the Ohio River and the mountains of West Virginia beyond which prepared us for the exciting second day of travel.  We’d make our way through Charleston, enjoying views of the magnificent capitol building, and traversing the scenic and winding pathways of Route 60.  Our destination, Nana and Papa’s house on S. Court Street,” Rob remembers.

His mother, Judy Meyer (nee Gall), grew up in Lewisburg, the only child of the late Hugh (“Doc”) and Goldie Gall.  His grandfather worked for Lewisburg Ice Cream, later Greenbrier Dairy, until his retirement when real estate occupied his time and kept him active.  Both of his grandparents were active community members involved in the community at Old Stone Presbyterian Church, the PEO, the Elks, sitting on City Council, the Board of the Greenbrier Youth Camp, and more.  

“Lewisburg was a haven of community, creativity, and healing.” Rob notes. “When we visited, family and friend connections were paramount as long visits sitting on the porch and taking in the many activities of the area coupled with quality time with family.  There is no question when, as I approach my fifth decade, Lewisburg is the place I want to spend the next chapter of my life.”

Meyer-Kukan worked as a church and music school director for nearly three decades and has a personal passion for natural health and wellness. That led him to begin a business in Detroit, which he’s now moving to Lewisburg.

“7 Notes was founded in January of 2015 as The Healthy Musician Institute. Focused on working with performing artists suffering from repetitive strain injuries with therapeutic bodywork, reiki, and educational workshops and classes.  We later expanded the offerings to include other therapies, mindfulness modalities, and a more expansive client base.”

Rob Meyer-Kukan is a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor, a Licensed Massage therapist, a sound therapist, an Acudetox Specialist, and Reiki Practitioner and Teacher.  An experienced educator, Rob takes his role as doctor seriously, seeking opportunities to inform with each individual. 

“I don’t prescribe, I share options, suggestions, and recommendations, then walk side by side together on your health journey,” he explains.  In addition to natural health consultations and holistic bodywork, Rob is an experienced meditation leader and sound bath facilitator.  He is the creator of the “Sound Bath Facilitator Program” that coaches budding sound bath facilitators to hone their skills and lead intuitively guided sound baths that are musical and heart-centered.  

7 Notes Natural Health is located at 298 Randolph Street in Lewisburg. Office hours for appointments are Monday through Friday from 9 am – 5 pm.  Rob offers natural health consultations, holistic bodywork (incorporating myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, therapeutic cupping, reflexology, aromatherapy, and energy work), infrared sauna, color therapy, acuwellness, and sound therapy.  At 7 Notes, Rob offers regular sound baths each month, one on a Friday evening (6:30 or 7 pm), one on a Wednesday morning (11 am), and one on a Thursday afternoon (1 pm).  He also offers workshops on a variety of natural health topics.
