My Practice…
As a holistic health & wellness coach and Ayurvedic practitioner, I endeavor to show my clients ways to reconnect with their bodies through practical lifestyle modification recommendations and spiritual exploration. I provide deep, compassionate listening and reflect each client’s heart as they share their vulnerabilities with me along their healing journeys.
As a bodyworker & Reiki practitioner, I offer a doorway to deep attention to subtle energy awareness. As clients receive gentle hands-on bodywork during sessions, they will build tolerance to quiet moments, and open their hearts and minds to greater possibilities for healing and connection with the Nature and the Universe.
Services Offered
Massage & Bodywork
I begin each session with a brief dialogue with the client to gain a clear understanding of their chief physical complaint. Then, I allow my sensory intuition to guide me to areas where energy has become stagnant within the body, resulting in pain and tension. I employ a variety of holistic, hands-on body therapy techniques to release these blockages, and clients often feel relief and relaxation immediately.
Ayurvedic Lifestyle Coaching
Holistic Health & Wellness Coaching
Health & Wellness coaching utilizing tools adapted from Western psychology, such as Behavior Change Theories and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy practices to help clients identify and change behaviors that are contributing to long-term health problems or chronic illness.
Guided Imagery:
Facilitated Introspective Personal Exploration
A guided relaxation practice that allows the receiver to engage directly with their subconscious mind to facilitate change through sensory awareness and visual perception. The mind/body does not distinguish between real and imagined experiences. Thus, this tool can be utilized to affect many different aspects of one’s mental or physical health. “Guided imagery brings painful thought patterns to light and guides us toward perspectives waiting in the heart” (Leslie Davenport, Healing and Transformation through Self-Guided Imagery, 2019). I am certified in this modality through my education from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old Science of Life that emphasizes living one’s life in harmony with nature, specifically, the 5 elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether (the space between everything else). Through the implementation and maintenance of a set of particular lifestyle practices, optimal health is achieved and maintained. This customized package service will introduce your Ayurvedic dosha and set you up with a basic outline of practices to launch your best practices for optimal health in an unhealthy society.
