healing modalities
REIKI
Reiki is a Japanese word translated to Universal Life Force Energy. "Ki" is flowing in everything that is alive including plants, animals and humans. When your "Ki" is high you feel strong, confident and ready to enjoy life. When it is low, you feel weak, depressed and more likely to get sick. One of the greatest benefits of Reiki is stress reduction and relaxation, which triggers the bodies natural healing abilities improving overall health. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit. It also balances the human energy fields "Auras" and energy centers "Chakras" to create conditions needed for the bodies healing system to function.
RAINDROP REIKI
The Raindrop Technique provides a deeply healing, relaxing experience enabling one to find inner peace bringing the body into physical, emotional and spiritual harmony where healing can occur. The Raindrop Technique is the application of powerful antibacterial, antiviral and anti inflammatory oils along the back and spine.
Nine pure essential oils are used as *raindrops* from about six inches above the surface of the back. The Young Living Essential oils are then gently feathered onto the spine with the Lakota "feathering motion" that stimulates energy impulses and disperses the oils along the muscular and nervous systems throughout the body.
Ideal for boosting the immune system
Other benefits of this treatment include reducing spinal inflammation, clearing and flushing toxins from the body, balancing liver, digestive and hormonal problems thus bringing the body into structural and electrical alignment. We tailor each session to the individual client.
We look forward to sharing this amazing technique.
HYPNOSIS
Hypnosis is a powerful tool to help people change unwanted behaviors or belief systems. Hypnosis is a focused concentration where the client is in a heightened state of suggestibility. It is not mind control, rather the client is the one who is in complete control. Hypnosis has many benefits such as :
Stop Smoking, Weight Loss, Situational Stress, Confidence & Motivation, Athletic/Sports Performance, Children's Issues, Pain Relief, Sleeping Concerns, Learning/Memory and much more. The client goes into a "trance" state which is a focused state of attention, a state of utter absorption allowing the person to step outside of their ordinary belief system. Therefore, under Hypnosis this can bypass any limiting beliefs.
LIFE COACHING-SPIRITUAL COUNSELING
Life/Spiritual Coaching-Counseling is a practice allowing clients to reach desired goals they are struggling with in their life. Through detailed discussions we will evaluate the root cause of the problem and focus on empowering you to move towards your goals with a positive and motivated approach. Sessions seek ways to maneuver around obstacles that can be rooted in the psyche of the client or imbalances with your soul's plan. Strategies are implemented to transform your life allowing you to enjoy fulfillment as you attain your heart's desires. Whether you are following a spiritual calling looking to awaken and enlighten your soul, struggling with finding a work-life balance, fulfilling personal strengths, building self-confidence and self-worth, eliminating negative, unhealthy, self-sabotaging thoughts, seeking ways to cope with anxiety, stress and depression or even relationship challenges. Changing the mindset is how we will eliminate these blocks allowing you to grow into the person you wish to become.
TEEN AND CHILD LIFE COACHING
As adults we sometimes are not fully aware of the stress young children and teenagers are experiencing daily. It's normal to see through our busy "adult" eyes of bills, jobs, housework and caring for a family as we may perceive things as normal life experiences, but to a child/teen their world is overwhelming and they are no longer able to cope. Most teens experience more stress when they perceive a situation as dangerous, difficult, or painful and they do not have the resources to deal. Areas such as these can bring feelings of fear, unworthiness, doubts, sadness and sometimes thoughts of suicide:
- School demands and frustrations
- Negative thoughts or feelings about themselves
- Changes in their bodies
- Problems with friends and/or peers at school
- Unsafe living environment/neighborhood
- Separation or divorce of parents
- Chronic illness or severe problems in the family
- Death of a loved one
- Moving or changing schools
- Taking on too many activities or having too high expectations
- Family financial problems
Some young children and teens become overloaded with stress. When this happens, it can lead to anxiety, withdrawal, aggression, physical illness, or poor coping skills such as drug and/or alcohol use.
This is when Life Coaching plays a vital role in reversing these thoughts and fears and allowing change to occur. Creating a safe and happy place in the mind allowing the body to relax and calm down. Children and Teens that develop a “relaxation response” and learn stress management skills feel less helpless and have more choices when responding to stress, making their lives happier and healthier.
INNER CHILD HEALING
Have you paid attention to that little voice inside of you? the one that reminds you of your younger self? No matter how old we grow we always carry our younger selves within us. Did your 6 year old self ever show up when your best friend says something hurtful or perhaps your misunderstood 15 year old self appears when a co-worker doesn't see eye to eye. Inner Child work is an approach to recognize and heal childhood trauma. It allows us to see that as adults certain behaviors stem from our childhood experiences. Inner Child work focuses on healing these traumas and caring for your younger version of yourself. Neglecting this work can leave you feeling frustrated, resentful and depressed. Begin your Inner Child healing today and let the suppressed emotions free.
CHAKRA BALANCING/RECHARGING
The Sanskrit word Chakra translates to wheel or disc. There are seven major Chakras in the body which align along the spinal column from the base to the crown of the head. Chakras are a spinning vortex of energy that are not seen by the human eye but can be seen, felt and sensed with intuition. Since each Chakra relates to specific spiritual, emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of our being the need to remove blockages or malfunction is important. By neglecting this it can lead to physical, psychological and emotional disorders. Cleansing, recharging and rebalancing your Chakras assist in raising your vibration, enhancing peace, spiritual knowledge, grounding and healing.
ANGEL THERAPY
We all need direction and healing in our lives and Angels are ready to assist, but we must first invite them in. Connecting to Archangels, Guardian Angels and all in the Angelic realm can instantly bring comfort and peace that is difficult to do on our own. Angels are always waiting to uplift, heal and protect as they conspire with the Universe showing us signs and confirmation that they are real and present. Once you have experienced this life changing moment you will never think to live a day with out having an Angel by your side.
CONNECT TO YOUR HIGHER SELF
Your Higher Self is the wise being within you that is calm and loving and acts as your spiritual guide bringing positive characteristics to surface and allowing you to see the correct path without questioning your lower nature. When you learn to connect to your Higher Self you become the best possible version of you allowing yourself to dethatch from negative energy and thoughts . Your Higher Self already knows the purpose of your life and your Divine Self wishes to direct you to live a fulfilling and joyous life through personal growth and self awareness. Your Higher Self is the most powerful instrument there is and by learning to live in alignment with your Higher Self you create balance and oneness within finding the person your soul is destined to be.
DIET AND NUTRITIONAL ADVISING

Let us teach you how to eat with mindfulness, joy and confidence allowing you to feel less stressed and worried around food but instead feel more passion for life. It is possible to lose weight, create a healthier lifestyle without obsessing over every bite of food leaving you feeling hungry and defeated.

This new mentality may be hard to learn on your own so that is why we are here to walk with you every step of the way to bring encouragement, stress free techniques to feel and become the healthy, happy person you deserve to be.
DREAM ANALYSIS THERAPY
For centuries dreams have sparked a sense of mystery and interest. Exploring your dreams and finding the truthful nature behind them plays an ongoing role in fully understanding yourself.
Dream analysis is a therapeutic technique best known for its use in psychoanalysis considered "the royal road" to the unconscious. Exploring and understanding the significance of your dreams is a key component in addressing concerns such as post-traumatic stress, chronic nightmares and problems you are facing in your daily life.
As part of the therapeutic framework techniques such as Jungian, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral and Art Therapy is utilized to tap into the unconscious material. In psychoanalytic theory, dreams represent wish fulfillment, unconscious desires and conflicts.
Dreams contain both manifest and latent content. Manifest content includes the information as the dreamer remembers it. Latent content represents repressed, symbolic meanings embedded within the dream.
Dream analysis is a place to begin looking at your dreams more thoughtfully and a place to dig deeper into their meaning in a safe and non-judgmental space.
PAST LIFE EXPLORATION
Have you ever felt like you have done something before you ever did it? Have you ever connected to another era and can almost remember how things felt? Do you experience unfounded fears? Are you naturally talented at something or find doing something easy as if you did it before? Do you have a comforting feeling when you have visited certain areas? If your answer is yes to any of these questions there is a good explanation, sometimes this "Deja vu" feeling is a sign of a past life.

ZODIAC ENERGY HEALING
Astrology teaches us that celestial bodies emit unique energies that impact our lives. There are 12 astrological signs that are based on the sun's apparent path across the sky throughout the year.
Each zodiac sign represents a different archetypal energy that contributes to our personalities and experiences.
Each sign also belongs to one of the four elements: fire, earth, air and water as well as being a mutable, fixed or cardinal sign.
These qualities carry different attributes and needs.
Astrology and energy healing are powerful modalities that, when combined, can enhance a person's healing journey and energetic alignment.

CONNECT TO YOUR INNER GODDESS
Now is the time to discover your inner goddess. Connecting with the goddess within can be a wonderful, empowering, healing experience once you trust and tune in. Your inner goddess connection is real. You are a part of the great all that is – a piece of the eternal oneness that we refer to as God. You are a multi-dimensional eternal spiritual being of love and light, true Consciousness. What this means is you are not just your physical body. Your body is a vehicle that you in your great godliness have created, to enjoy and experience love and true beauty in the physical world. Allow yourself to tap into this inner strength and become the warrior you are meant to be.
AURA CLEANSING
Have you ever walked into a room and the energy felt dense? Or, conversely, met someone new and immediately clicked because they had "good energy"? You're likely sensing other people's auras. Since auras are all about energy, as we go about living our lives, we can pick up energy from other people and the outside world, making us feel off and ungrounded. This is where aura cleansing comes into play, which, as its name suggests, is about cleaning your aura of other energies that are not your own. Removing these blocks and negative energies free the body from toxicity and leaves you feeling cleansed spiritually.
TAROT CARD READINGS
Tarot Card Readings are all about your intuition. It is the inner voice of your higher self encouraging you to embrace its message. The story that unfolds during a reading can greatly assist in better understanding what your inner voice is trying to tell you. Using this method of Divination allows the Practitioner to tap into the energetic psychic imprint of the person being read. It helps to create an understanding allowing deep interpretation of our own psyche and the struggles, questions, concerns or problems we are facing. It assists in self-development by using both psychological and spiritual aspects to receive clear directions and paths needed to bring happiness, peace and clarity into our lives. This is the storybook of your life, the mirror to your soul and the key to inner wisdom. Unlock the messages now and book your appointment today.
ANGEL CARD READINGS
An Angel card reading is quite similar to tarot card reading, as both can be a powerful tool for those seeking guidance in their life. Angel cards provide answers to people's questions. During my Angel card reading I establish a direct connection with the Angels and call upon them to bring guidance and insight. We draw three cards, past, present and future asking for clarification and assistance trusting to receive clear messages of reassuring support as it brings peace of mind. Angel's guidance is purposeful helping you to see a clearer picture and to learn how to help yourself. You will leave feeling the support and unconditional love from the Angels.
GUIDED MEDITATION
Guided Meditation is a scientifically proven treatment for stress, worry, lack of focus, relationship problems and addictions to name a few. It leads to peace of mind and well being, greater focus and creativity. As you continue to Meditate your brain physically changes, even though you are unaware of it re-shaping itself. Mindfulness Meditation activates the rest and digest part of your nervous system helping with stress management, lowers blood pressure, lowers blood lactate therefore reducing anxiety attacks and decreasing tension. It can help with headaches, ulcers, insomnia and muscle pain. It increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior as well as improving the immune system which increases energy levels.
SOUND BATHING
Everything has a vibrational frequency, including ourselves. Sound frequencies impact how we feel. This is why particular songs and types of music have the ability to bring about specific types of emotions. Sound healing is an ancient technique that uses tonal frequencies to bring the body into a state of vibrational balance and harmony. Sound helps to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state by using entrainment. Entrainment synchronizes our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur).
Imagine receiving a gentle bath of sounds allowing your body to let go and move into a deeper state of relaxation.
Sound Therapy is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation but it also has a way of moving through blockages in the body. Sound Therapy has been known to help treat such conditions as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, sleep disorders, pain and so much more.
VIBRATIONAL DRUMMING
Virtually every culture that exists or has existed on earth has practiced some form of drumming. This ancient approach uses therapeutic rhythm techniques to promote health and well-being. The vibration is designed to influence internal rhythmic patterns to harmonize illness and imbalance. Vibrational drumming relies on the natural law of resonance to restore the vibrational integrity of the body allowing it to attune to the pattern forming new harmonic alignments. It opens the body's various energy meridians releasing blockages to promote healing and relieve physical pain.
