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.
