Reiki is a type of energy healing. According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness.
Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Reiki practitioners believe that improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
Mikao Usui developed Usui Reiki Ryoho, the most current form of Reiki, in 1922. However, people have practiced Reiki for about 2,500 years.
People also refer to Reiki as palm healing or hands-on healing.


Reflexology

It’s based on the theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems. Reflexology rests on the ancient Chinese belief in qi, or “vital energy.” According to this belief, qi flows through each person. When a person feels stressed, their body blocks qi. Th... Read More

It’s based on the theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems. Reflexology rests on the ancient Chinese belief in qi, or “vital energy.” According to this belief, qi flows through each person. When a person feels stressed, their body blocks qi. This can cause an imbalance in the body that leads to illness. Reflexology aims to keep qi flowing through the body, keeping it balanced and disease free.

The Bowen Technique (also known as Bowtech - the Original Bowen Technique and Bowenwork) is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that was developed by the late Tom Bowen in Geelong, Australia. Sometimes called the homeopathy of bodywork, it utilizes subtle inputs to the body (known as moves), stimulating the body to heal itself, often profoundly.

Clients usually lie on a massage/bodywork table or bed, or may be seated in a chair if required, for comfort. A session involves one or more procedures, each of which consists of several sets of moves. The moves are gentle, but purposeful, and can be done through light clothing. Between each set of moves, the practitioner pauses for as many minutes as are needed for the client's body to begin responding. As the nervous system begins to adjust the tension level in the muscles, the practitioner senses when the client is ready for the next set of moves.

Sauna use can reduce inflammation, increase blood flow and stimulate the body's own healing. Studies show that infrared saunas can help boost heart health and reduce blood pressure. The improved blood circulation brought on by an infrared sauna session can help speed up muscle recovery following physical activity. There’s evidence that regular sauna use can help you avoid the common cold. ... Read More

Who am I? I am a queer identified woman who is super passionate about helping others help themselves. I’m not here to fix you. It’s up to you to decide if you want to do the work for you or not. I’m here with a box of tools to share and show you how to use, if you’re interested.

I’ve been stuck and burnt out. I’ve been in the position of putting one foot in front of the other down the path society and my parents and family laid out for me. And I’ve woken up! Realized I was just going through the motions instead of living my life. This is where I got off the path and started creating my own. I pursued yoga and meditation. I performed burlesque. I sat naked on a stage reading stories aloud. I walked away from what had become a soul sucking job. I pursued joy and pleasure. I did the Artist’s Way. I found mindfulness and breathwork. Now, I’m creating a village of connections with amazing people. There are so many tools I picked up along the way and have found myself. I am in love with this life! And excited for you to be part of it.

For those who like the credentials info I have a BA in psychology, 200hr yoga teacher training, 100hr ayurveda training, Certified Numa Breathwork Facilitator (400hr), and Certified Breath Coach (50hr). I have done physical and mental health first aid trainings, suicide and self harm prevention trainings, leadership trainings and more. I love to learn and to share what I’ve learned.

I am trauma informed and solution focused. Let me meet you where you are and we’ll move from there. You set the tone. You set the pace. I’m here to support you with tools and practices along with being your cheerleader! You got this!
