Alternative Therapies for
HOLISTIC HEALING
Our holistic approach is highly integrative, meaning it supports and attends to mind, body and spirit for whole-body healing. Many sessions include a blend of the following:​
​​
​Breathwork & Body Scanning​​​
We start by focusing on the breath to reset the nervous system. Deep breathing slows the overactive, fight-flight mind and serves as a primer for healing energy to flow. Body scanning allows you to release tension in you body so you can relax fully into the work.
​​
​Guided Meditation​ & Nature Therapy
As you are led through a visualization in nature, you release what's causing you unrest, and enter into a deeply relaxed state of mind. We can then focus on your therapeutic goals. Natural imagery and tools such as crystals are often integrated to promote healing.​​​​
​
Reiki Energy Healing
Tapping into universal life force energy, this Japanese technique releases energy blockages, creates flow, and promotes self-healing and overall wellbeing. Reiki involves gentle touch or hovering hands over a clothed body. ​​​​
​​​​​
​Somatic Movement​​
Movement is integrated when emotions are stuck in the body. Somatic movement involves a practitioner noticing where in your body you are holding tention and suggesting movements that will promote its release. Paired with personally significant affirmations, this work can lead to a real shift. It also helps continue a good flow of energy in between sessions.

Treatment length will depend on your issues and circumstances. Clients typically meet with a practitioner 4-10 times over several months.
It is common to have a series of weekly or biweekly sessions up-front, take time away in seasons of good health, and then return when life stressors or illness compounds again. Some come in monthly for regular maintence.
