Massage and Aroma Therapy
The intention of my massage is to decrease stress, and balance the entire body. Most of the work I do is at a slower pace to encourage the nervous system to relax, allowing the whole body, and mind, to feel balanced and restored. Pressure is set specific to each person, however I rarely do "deep" or heavy pressure. My deep tissue massage involves what is known as soft release deep tissue, allowing an opening through the facial layer, relaxing the deeper layers of the muscle tissue without requiring heavy pressure. Aroma Therapy wise I love Raindrop Therapy for its benefits of harmonizing the mind and body. (If you haven't tried raindrop yet I highly recommend!) |
PSYCH-K
Psych-K to me is a perfect blend of reiki and mindset therapy. Psych-K is a form of energy psychology, utilizing focused energy work, along with applied kinesiology to change your subconscious beliefs. Our beliefs matter because our lives and reality our shaped by our deep rooted beliefs. This is why it can be difficult to change even when it seems we are working so hard towards our goals. Psych-k is a simple, fast, and non invasive (think: no long cries needed), way to transform our subconscious beliefs that are limiting us in life, into empowering and supportive beliefs that will allow us to move forward with more ease, joy, and peace that we imagined possible.

Yoga Retreats
I didn't realize when I started practicing yoga that it would become such an important part of my life, nor did I expect it to teach me so much about the mind body connection and how we store emotions. I spent a good amount of time in my 20s traveling and learning about yoga philosophies and the physical practice, I know am passionate about sharing that knowledge combined with love for travel by hosting international yoga retreats. These retreats are focused towards releasing trapped emotions within the body through movement, meditation and yoga. For more information visit my site and join my mailing list. For local yoga, you can find me at Twist Yoga in Edmonds every Monday and Friday morning. |
