Why it is Important to Heal the Mind, Body, and Spirit...
Mind
How you think can affect how you feel and how you feel can affect your thinking. Our therapies help our client learn how to develop a positive attitude and belief that they will feel better. Changing the mindset helps train your brain to increase levels of serotonin that targets your body's natural healing abilities.
Body
Mind-Body connection is how your body responds to stress. Constant worry and stress over jobs, finances, relationships, or other problems can cause tense muscles, pain, headaches, and increases the hormone, cortisol, which can cause a number of health problems. When you are able to relax your mind and body, your body begins to decrease the hormone, cortisol. The feelings of stress will begin to ease, and you can return to a state of calm, both physically and mentally, which helps to promote your body's healing abilities.
Spirit
Meaning and belief is the sense that there is an infinite purpose in our lives even when we face difficult times. The human spirit drives the quest for meaning, and meaning sustains our will to live. Identifying the things in your life that give you a sense of inner peace, comfort, strength, love, and connection will promote growth within the spirit.

Sound Therapy

Sound therapy is a holistic therapeutic approach that uses sound and vibrations to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It involves listening to specific frequencies emitted by singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, or chimes to create therapeutic effects.

What to Expect During a Session
In a cozy and dimly lit room, you will lie on a comfortable massage bed. The practitioner will guide you through a short meditation to help coax you towards creating a coherence with your brain and heart. The practitioner will use instruments during the meditation to help turn on your parasympathetic nervous system, where your body begins to repair itself. You be asked to create the images and emotions described in the meditation which will help place you in a Zen state. Once this state is reached, the practitioner will use different instruments to create different frequencies in the room that will assist in repairing the body to its natural state of frequencies. Time will pass quickly, and you will leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and often times with less physical and psychological pain.

Once completed, you will feel calmed and refreshed.
Reflexology
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a massage technique that puts pressure on various reflex points around your hands which stimulates nerve impulses that travel to the corresponding body area. These impulses produce a relaxation response. As muscles relax, blood vessels open, increasing circulation, which increases the amount of available oxygen and nutrients that get to the cells in that part of the body.
Benefits of Reflexology
Like general massage, reflexology eases anxiety, boosts circulation, brings temporary pain relief of the hand, and helps promote overall mental and physical well-being.
Similar to acupuncture, reflexology targets pressure points on your hands that may:
Clear blocked sinuses
Reduce headaches
Ease constipation or an upset stomach
Conquer stress and anxiety
What to Expect During a Session
In a cozy, dimly lit room, you will lie on a heated massage table. Your treatment begins with the practitioner comfortable holding your hand. This creates and element of warmth and empathy right from the beginning. Light pressure is then applied first to find specific points. Once a reflex point is located, circular motions are used to warm it up. The pressure then increases to penetrate deeper and release blockages. The process is repeated for each relevant point on each hand. The hand reflexology session typically lasts about 25 minutes when addressing a specific issue. Afterwards the client feels instantly relaxed.
Chromotherapy
What is Chromotherapy?
Chromotherapy is the science of using colors to adjust body vibrations and frequencies that help to relieve stress and improve mood. Each color possesses frequencies of a specific vibration, and each vibration is related to different physical symptoms. Chromotherapy works to help balance your body via the full spectrum of visible light, each color of which addresses a distinct need.
Benefits of Chromotherapy
Red
Red is believed to decrease signs of aging and helps to support circulatory and nervous functions.
Orange
Orange activates and eliminates localized fat, revitalizes skin, and assists with asthma and bronchitis.
Yellow
Yellow helps to reduce inflammation, purify skin, and can increase serotonin levels, the hormone that regulates mood and happiness.
Green

Blue
Blue helps smooth and calm skin, has tranquilizing qualities often used to promote relaxation and calm, and has a positive effect on all kinds of pain. It helps reduce cortisol levels and may help with mood disorders and anxiety.
Violet
Violet has a calming and sedative effect that can relax muscles.
Other Potential Benefits of Chromotherapy:
Improved sleep quality

What to Expect During a Session
Set in a cozy, dimly lit room, your session begins with a brief intake to determine your needs. You will lay fully clothed on a comfortable heated massage bed. Using crystal sound bowls on and around your body, along with chimes or gongs, this no-touch session creates a peaceful and meditative state. Your session ends with tea and a brief discussion. Clients describe leaving with a sense of calm and clarity.
Indian Head Massage
What is Indian Head Massage?
Indian head massage is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders, often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition, as well as improve mental and emotional wellness.
