“Silence is the root of our union with God & with one another. In the silence, we are filled with the energy of God that makes us do all things in joy... God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees and grass - grow in silence. See how the stars, the moon, the sun, how they move in silence. The more we receive in silence, the more we can give in our active life.”
~Mother Teresa~

Post Partum Massage
Includes “mother roasting” with warm river rocks to ground the new mother's body and encourage the inner fires to rekindle. Post-partum massage is special because it involves techniques that assist the ribcage and pelvis to shift back to pre-pregnancy alignment while supporting sacrum and cranial movement with gentle holds. The massage incorporates gentle strokes that ease the relocation of internal organs that have been pressed upward during pregnancy. Repetitive downward stroking reminds the organs of their original placement by stimulating cellular memory. Uterine kneading can also be done to help the uterus contract back into shape, and muscles get relief as the body-work focuses on the often aching shoulders and stooped posture of the nursing mom.
$75 (1 hour and 15 minutes)
Energy Balancing Treatment
In the human body, you will find many dynamic energy systems. Some of these systems include the chakras system, meridians and the seven levels of consciousness (aura). Energy therapy works with these energetic systems and is used to help maintain a healthy balance and flow of energy through the body, either by treating an already existing ailment or as preventative medicine, keeping the body at its optimum level of health. Energy therapy is beneficial for individuals with emotional trauma, physical injuries, chronic and acute physical conditions, depression and a wide range of other ailments.
