The Spirit

Therapies for the spirit include bio-energy field modalities (such as healing touch, reiki, acupressure and sound therapies), dialoguing with your inner physician, somato-emotional-release and sound/breath healing. Subtle life energy that is blocked, stagnant, or chaotic is cleared through light touch and enhanced breathwork.  Profound relaxation and stimulation of healing is achieved through enhancing the free flow and organization of the body's natural energy field. 

Sessions typically last 75-90 minutes and offer a powerful and profound opportunity to support deeper healing Please specify your interest in experiencing any of the services listed below when scheduling an appointment to insure adequate time for your session.

Healing Massage
This therapy blends the aromatherapy and healing properties of pure essential oils, energy healing modalities and nurturing massage for a unique experience that supports mind, body and spirit.

Integrated Healing Therapies
This therapeutic bodywork (excluding massage) utilizes multiple therapies that may include energy healing, acupressure, sound healing, and/or craniosacral therapy.  Clients remain fully clothed and receive treatment on a massage table. Goals for treatment are discussed with the therapist in a private, relaxed setting.

Directional Healing
A systematic, multi-dimensional approach to healing the physical and inner bodies through vibration.  Healing occurs through a process of resonance and may or may not involve touch.  Through the shared vibrational field of a session, adjustments are made at every level in three distinct stages: 1. cleansing and clearing; 2. relaxing and balancing;   3. rejuvenating.  In addition to private individual sessions, directional healing is appropriate for couples, families, or groups that share a common goal or interest.

Acutonic Sound Therapy
This energy-based, non-invasive treatment integrates vibrational sound healing and oriental harmonic medicine.  The application of custom calibrated tuning forks to acupressure points, trigger points, areas of pain, and chakras (energy centers) enables the body to find balance, heal and transform from within.

Raindrop Therapy
This therapy stimulates every organ, muscle, and bone of the body at a cellular level through the administration and blending of seven or more essential oils.  It boosts the immune system, brings the body into structural/electrical balance, and enables the release of toxins or disease wherever they may be lodged in the body.  This is a deeply relaxing experience because of the biochemical effects of the oils.  (Plan for a longer session and bring comfortable clothes.)

Trauma/Deep Release Bodywork
This therapy is for individuals who have suffered a significant traumatic event or who desire a deeper healing experience with multiple hands-on modalities.  Clients remain fully clothed in a private, relaxed setting. Two or three therapists work in synchrony to fully support the healing process.
