Nestled in the heart of Main Street amid the colonial charm of historic Medford Village, a quiet yet meaningful evolution is underway. In a building that has long served as a haven for rest, ritual and renewal, a new steward has arrived to carry its legacy into the future.

Cory Tapper—guided by intuition, fueled by purpose and shaped by years of experience—is stepping into the circle of a cherished wellness community, lovingly cultivated by the respected healer Susan Drummond.

“The Center has always been a place of profound healing and transformation, thanks to Susan’s vision and the love she poured into Life in Balance as its founder,” Tapper says. “As I take on this role, I do so with deep respect for all she created. Renaming it The Center for Living represents both
continuity and growth—a way to honor the soul of Susan’s work while opening space for new energy, ideas and possibilities. I’m so grateful that she will continue to be an integral part of this journey as a healer and guiding presence.”

Tapper’s vision for The Center for Living begins with a fresh digital presence—launching a new, user-friendly website that will streamline registration, simplify payments and make it easier than ever to explore the center’s rich lineup of workshops and events. She also plans to welcome a diverse group of new practitioners specializing in somatic healing, voice movement, life coaching, Kabbalah study along with both book and lyric clubs.

To mark this new chapter, Tapper will host a grand opening celebration and the facility will continue to offer its signature blend of healing and growth opportunities. She will introduce new offerings including cranial macro massage, Shamanism and numerology among others. Also, she will launch The Center for Living Collective consisting of an off-site group of approved practitioners that will be vetted by the center’s strict standards.

She also intends to thoughtfully refresh the beloved historic physical space—honoring its roots while infusing it with renewed vitality. “This house isn’t merely a building; it’s a living, breathing entity, rich with stories that echo through every beam and intricate piece of woodwork. Knowing it once served as a women’s hospital in the 1890s adds a profound layer of meaning and care. As I revitalize the space, my aim is to preserve its deep history while welcoming new life, allowing its enduring spirit to continue to embrace everyone who enters,” says Tapper.

With decades of business experience—including her current flag company in Bucks County—she eventually stepped away from corporate life to follow a more spirit-led path, becoming certified in hypnosis, reiki and Transformational Coaching. Yet, amid all her accomplishments, she holds one role closest to her heart: being a mother. “Raising my two incredible children has been my greatest joy,” she shares. Now newly rooted at The Center, she is all set to nurture a growing circle of healing and awakening, where spirit leads and hearts remember their path.
