Divine Light HealingEnergy Healing (e.g., Reiki, Chakra Balancing)
How does meditating and healing with Divine Light work?
Each of us has a spiritual support system that is the power behind everything we do. Mystics call this support system our auric field. Through meditation and direct divine light healing, we can draw on Divine Light to enhance any aspect of our life. Everything we think, feel, and do radiates a spiritual energy that comes through in various colors and hues: this is our aura. By changing the quality of our aura, we change the quality of our life, hence, “change your aura, change your life." |

Healthful TransformationsFrequency Scanning with SoftwareJodie has been using numerous healing techniques over the course of many years. She has taught things like Reflexology, Touch for Health, Brain Gyms, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). But as we evolve so do our tools and trainings, so currently her focus is on Body Scanning Systems that assist in identifying where and what could be the cause of issues. Body Scanners can identify what items the body is responding to in a stressful manner and send balancing frequencies back to the body system to alleviate many symptoms. One example would be how our voice gives us away, emotional, mentally, or even physically and how getting the balancing tones can shift everything.

Nicole HeilAcupuncture Traditional Chinese MedicineMental health is an essential component of overall well-being. It affects how we feel, think, and behave. Taking care of our mental health is crucial to living a healthy and fulfilling life. In response to stress, humans react with fight, flight or freeze. Depending on the situation, some people are more likely to freeze in response to stress.
AcuWellness, also know as AcuDetox, is a 5 Needle Point (5NP) Ear Acupuncture Protocol that unlocks the freeze response. It has been found to be an effective intervention for substance misuse, trauma, combating the effects of workplace burnout, and for numerous behavioral and mental health conditions. It works by activating Chi, the life force energy that flows through every living thing on the planet. It is that which gives life. The concept of Chi has its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but the idea of a vital life force energy and its role in human health can be found in many cultures. AcuWellness helps Chi move and balance within the body. The underlying basis is that your body is designed to heal itself. |

Rippling Into HealthOrtho-BionomyOrtho-Bionomy is a holistic approach to healing that works with the proprioceptive aspect of the nervous system to cue the self-corrective reflexes inherent in everyone. Ortho-Bionomy uses gentle positioning and movements that can allow tension patterns that are creating pain to relax, reset and reorganize from within.
Ortho-Bionomy is a principle-based approach which means that we work with the conditions present in each individual body with the conditions present in each individual body in given moment. Because the principles of Ortho-Bionomy are to work with positions of ease rather than force, most people find an Ortho-Bionomy session to be comfortable and relaxing. Each session is a different self-corrective response as each person is uniquely individual. We recognize the brilliance of your individual body to reorganize and move towards ease and health in its own space and timing. |
