Health care insurers seeking to hasten the behavioral health care community's move to electronic medical records (EMRs) are working more closely with companies such as Wayzata-based Empathic Clinical Suite, a leader in fully integrated, user-friendly EMR and clinical practice management systems for behavioral health therapists. “As the technology for producing, processing and securing EMRs evolves and matures, health insurers are ramping up their efforts to motivate more therapists to make the switch to fully integrated EMR claims processing systems now,” says Debra Lindell, founder and chief executive officer of Empathic Clinical Suite.

Two women share thoughts about their business and passion for yoga.
“A lot of people just need to relax,” said Patricia Sletten. Sletten is the studio manager of Spirit of the Lake Yoga and Wellness Center in Excelsior. Lisa Bergly owns it. Both women are yoga teachers and see many benefits to yoga—one being relaxation. “It’s a place to come and be restored,” Bergly said about her business. They purposely designed the interior space to be both beautiful and natural, and Sletten pointed out the wooden beams, bamboo flooring and even nearby Lake Minnetonka. They wanted a warm environment, and according to Bergly, people comment on the peace they feel upon entering the business. “It’s like a home away from home,” Sletten said. The two women began planning the center in April 2010. Opening day was Nov. 1, 2010…

Excelsior-based goldsmith has years of experience and shares what he likes about his job.
When Brian Walters was 16 he began working at the factory of a large jewelry company. The company determined that he had excellent hand-eye coordination skills and immediately tasked him with carrying out some of the finer details of making jewelry. Eventually he had learned all the steps of jewelry making. “It starts with an idea,” Walters said. The idea is followed by a model of the design, assembling the jewelry and finally completing the finishing touches. Walters opened his first shop about 25 years ago when business at his home began overflowing and taking over his house. Currently, BW Goldsmith “the Ring Maker” is located on Water Street in Excelsior. In the office portion of his business, customers can watch Walters do the fine …
