I offer hands-on healing treatments such as Reiki, chakra balancing with crystals, aromatherapy, and Ayurvedic head massage as a stand- alone service or in combination with coaching in order to enhance the sessions. All of these techniques can be used to help balance the nervous system and promote stress reduction and relaxation.

Our Energy System
Science tells us that in addition to water, bones, cells, muscles, and organs, we are made up of energy. Each thought we have creates an electrical impulse, and even our heart’s electrical activity can be measured by an EKG (electrocardiogram ). We receive positive energy from whole foods, laughter, the sun, being with positive people, meditation, engaging in activities that we love, and many other sources as well. We can also give our energy away by thinking negatively, eating poorly, not taking care of our basic needs, surrounding ourselves with people or situations that are negative, or by simply not being true to ourselves. When people say things like “she is draining me,” they are referring to the energy that is being sucked from them by interacting with that person. Energy can also become blocked or stagnant due to traumatic experiences or unresolved issues either currently or in the past. Leaving the energy system weak or depleted overtime, can create physical, mental, or emotional symptoms.

Reiki
Reiki is a 5,000 year old Japanese practice that helps to promote healing by increasing positive energy flow, otherwise known as “Ki”, “Chi”, or “life force energy”. People report feeling more balanced, centered, and calm after a session. Reiki uses gentle hand movements either touching the body or hovering right above the body, and is done fully clothed. Every person feels Reiki differently. Some people experience it as warmth, others as tingling, and many feel a euphoric feeling come over their body. Sometimes I incorporate the use of essential oils or crystals into our treatment in order to help unblock “stuck” energies. Both crystals and essential oils vibrate at frequencies similar to our own energetic frequencies, therefore they can be used to successfully change or move the energy within our bodies.

Balancing the Nervous System
Because our central nervous system impacts every single cell in our body, it is extremely important that we maintain a balanced nervous system. Acute or chronic stress related issues can cause the nervous system to become out of balance and therefore causing symptoms ranging from overwhelming stress, headaches, stomach issues, back pain, anxiety attacks, depression, or a weakened immune system.

Indian Head, Neck, and Face Massage (Champissage)
Indian head massage is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment that has been practiced in India for over 1,000 years as part of daily life and grooming. It’s name, Champissage, (Champi for short) is where the word shampoo comes from. It is believed that by massaging certain points on the head, neck, face, and shoulders, energy channels are opened up, circulation is increased, and blocked energy is removed. I incorporate the use of healing essential oils in the traditional way that are then absorbed through the scalp and carried to the rest of the body for healing. This treatment is truly a treat for the body, mind, and spirit.
