Our Approach
Dr. Christine Dargon received her doctoral degree in counseling psychology in 1999. After spending over 20 years working in the mental health field, she was frustrated with the increasing use of medications and the decreasing usage of alternative approaches to helping people.
As a result of this, she retired from the mental health field and for years now has been coaching clients, working as a professor for two universities and traveling all over North America training professionals, parents and care takers, in ways to help people by other means first rather than jumping right to medication.
This is the foundation for Emerald Waves. The goal is to provide affordable services to help people improve their lives, feel better, reduce stress and even just put a smile on their faces while doing so economically, enabling most people to access these services.
As a result of this passionate pursuit, Dr. Dargon offers coaching, guided meditation, sand tray practice, yoga, Breema body work, Kansa (Ayurvedic) wand massage, needleless acupuncture, crystal healing, Reiki & more. She works with individuals of all ages, including children.

Dr. Marta Adelsman
Life Coach in Communication and Spiritual Consciousness
I work with people who want to know themselves and their purpose on the planet. If that describes you, I walk alongside you to support you to make spiritual principles practical and alive in your communication with others, with yourself, and in your life situations. The tools I teach help you to translate head knowledge of spirituality into compassionate, non-judgmental, life-affirming habits.
With consistent practice of life-transforming tools…
- Drama and suffering diminish or drop away.
- You speak your truth (thoughts and feelings) boldly in a way that draws others to listen to you.
- You open your heart in acceptance, joy and gratitude to whatever life brings you.
- Personal relationships become rich and satisfying.
- You know connection to the Source of your existence as a constant reality.
- You live from the Radiant Stillness of who you are, sparking deep joy and peace.
Make a covenant with yourself…
From this day forward, you no longer create excuses for playing small and staying stuck. Instead of distracting yourself from your Purpose, you stay focused. Even when you make up that others feel insecure in your presence, you radiate your light.
You shed thoughts of “who-the-hell-do-you-think-you-are” and step into the realm of infinite possibility. In that realm, you persist in action toward your soul’s desires, opening and surrendering to the flow of the Universe through you.
The result? Joy lives you. Love breathes you. You communicate boldly, no longer apologizing for who you are.
Beth Franklin
Massage Therapist, 200-RYT Yoga Instructor
Beth Franklin comes to Emerald Waves practice through her own experience in working to heal from fibromyalgia and being a children’s mental health coach for five years at Jackson County Mental Health in Medford, Oregon (2006-2011). She has also worked as a contractor in youth and family coach. In the mental health field, Beth has studied Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Dr. John Taylor’s “Sensory Diet” and Dr. Bruce Perry’’s “Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics.” Based on these and other studies, Beth led courses designed to improve children’s well-being using sensory skills, guided imagery, mindfulness and yoga as stress regulation tools for both stimulation and relaxation.
Following work in the mental health field, Beth has been inspired to learn healing touch (National Healing Touch Professionals Association, Level II practitioner), and massage therapy. She has become a Colorado and Arizona Board Certified Licensed Massage Therapist. She graduated from the Fort Collins, CO, Healing Arts Institute (HAI) with 600 hours of Massage therapy and practical application in February, 2015. She was immediately hired by the (HAI) clinic and worked as clinician during the summer of 2015. A love in her life and a passion for the high desert country brought her to Rimrock, AZ. She continued developing skills with Myofascial Release coursework offered by the John Barnes’ Myofascial Release Treatment Center in Sedona, AZ. She currently offers massage and beginning gentle yoga instruction. Beth has developed a passion for empowering others to heal and sustain wellness of the body, mind, and spirit. She has experienced a synergistic effect of these practices – and is excited to help empower people to heal and sustain wellness!
Beth loves the outdoors and finds the Colorado Plateau country to be the landscape of her heart. She enjoys playing with her two boys, gardening, cooking, hiking, camping, and listening to her cat purr. She may also be sighted at the Beaver Creek Library.

Our Story
People often ask what inspired the name. Growing up, my family traveled every year to a place called Emerald Isle, NC. As I got older I often went 2, 3 and even 4 times a year to this beautiful serene spot. This was my happily place. Sitting on the beach and listening to the waves could bring me such peace, but also stir up emotions that were longing to be addressed. When I realized this, and the fact that Emeralds have healing properties, and waves have many significant meanings, the name just came together.
So welcome to Emerald Waves. This is my happy place in AZ and I hope that it will become yours as well. It is such a great resource right here in Rimrock, AZ creating so many new and affordable options in the Verde Valley of Arizona, only 20+ minutes outside of Sedona, AZ.
