Ayurvedic Treatment and Consultations

Harmony is achieved when you are completely relaxed and clean of toxins. Detoxification of your body, mind, and emotions is fundamental to releasing stress and inflexibility at all levels.

“Ayurveda and Yoga practice are like two wings of spiritual growth. When you go through detoxification of the body, your spiritual practice begins to fly, and when you combine spiritual practice with the detoxification process, your detoxification moves from the physical to mental and emotional healing and spiritual levels of unfoldment.” – Gurudev

Massage Therapy

Swedish
60 minutes $75
Massage is considered to be among the oldest of all wellness treatments. Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document massage treatments. Today, a wide variety of massage therapies are accepted as a standard practice for relaxation and as tool in physical rehabilitation. Massage has been proven to help chronic conditions such as lower back pain, arthritis and the stress and tensions of everyday life. Swedish – a common form of massage relaxes muscles, flushes tissues and eases muscular aches and pains. Deep Tissue – this type of massage is more for problematic conditions. It relies on deep work and pressure to remove adhesions and restore functions in specific muscle groups.

Yogassage

60 minutes $75
Yogassage is a holistic approach to wellness that aligns the mind, body and spirit through combining elements of yoga, massage, energy healing and asana. This combined methodology brings alignment to your physical, emotional, spiritual and energetic body. The yoga practitioner helps a yogi flow through a series of assisted yoga postures, and simultaneously applies massage techniques to specific muscle groups. This blend of yoga and massage deepens your postures and helps release chronic holding patterns in the body.

Our practitioner is trained to help you based on your individual yoga practice. With Yogassage you have the opportunity to experience a new level of relaxation as well as a deepening of your own practice.

Yoga Therapy

60 minutes $75
Yoga Therapy is based on the premise that incomplete emotions and experiences can manifest as holding patterns, desensitization or chronic tension and pain in the physical body. Our Yoga Therapist uses yoga based techniques to help optimize the release and flow of prana in your body so that the body/mind can heal and integrate itself. Results include profound release of mental and emotional tension, physical openings, and energetic restructuring; all of which contribute to optimal physical health and wellbeing. You do not have to be a yoga student or teacher to benefit from Yoga Therapy!

Usui Amrit Reiki Treatment

60 minutes $75
Reiki is a sacred vital life force hidden within. Once the secret of this mysterious power is awakened, an ordinary healer is transformed into a Reiki mystic. Our Reiki Masters are trained, attuned, certified and experienced. The result is that you will receive a powerful session that combines all of the benefits of energetic transmission of traditional Reiki combined with the additional impact that comes with practitioners attuned to the Lineage of Light. During a Reiki treatment you lay on a table fully clothed as the practitioner channels and flows energy to different parts of your body in a prescribed pattern. The energy effortlessly flows to those areas in need of attention. One of the great health benefits of a Reiki session is stress reduction and relaxation. This triggers the body’s natural healing abilities. Reiki healing is a natural therapy that works with the Higher Self of the receiver, promoting health and well being to the physical, emotional and psychic bodies.

Pranic Healing Session

60 minutes $75
Pranic Healing® is a well tested system of energy healing developed by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui. During a session the trained and certified practitioner utilizes prana or energy to balance, harmonize and transform the body's energy processes. Unlike Reiki, Pranic Healing uses a series of energy practices that first scan the entire body to locate areas that need attention. After this process they sweep away congested, dirty energy and then energize these areas.

Like Reiki, Pranic Healing is a no-touch system where you either stand or lie on a table fully clothed. It provides powerful healing as it helps accelerate your body’s natural healing process which is based on energy moving in harmony. Master Choa Kok Sui says "Life Energy or prana is all around us. It is pervasive; we are actually in an ocean of Life Energy. Based on this principle, a healer can draw in Pranic Energy or Life Energy from the surroundings." We encourage you to try Pranic Healing if you have not previously tried it.

Crystal/Resonance Healing

60 minutes $75
Crystal Healing is a holistic therapy that focuses on the whole individual rather than physical symptoms. The crystal healer works on restoring balance to your emotions, mind and spirit. A variety of crystals are used to shape and focus your energies according to what you need. This ancient art of healing is a highly powerful and effective tool because crystals contain special properties and interact with people in unique ways. Crystals can absorb, reflect, transform and direct energy. During each session, the healer serves as a channel for the beneficial healing energies of the crystals and the participant.

Life Coaching

Full Session $200

With our professional life coach, you can fully explore specific personal projects, successes in your career, general conditions and transitions in your personal life, relationships or profession career.
