Clinical Aromatherapy (with or without Reflexology instruction)
Stress is a leading cause of illness and disease. By decreasing stress in our daily lives we can attain and maintain a higher level of health. The use of essential oils 'aromatherapy' is a holistic healing modality that has been used for centuries in many different cultures. In clinical trials it has been found to be a safe, non-invasive form of holistic treatment that can help to reduce stress, chronic pain, and anxiety.
For those going through cancer treatment, you will experience the art of learning how to use essential oils to manage symptoms of chemotherapy such as pain, nausea, fatigue, and anxiety. Safety, Usage & Applications will be addressed as together we will create a special blend for home use. No experience with essential oils is necessary.

Reiki
Reiki is a form of alternative therapy commonly referred to as 'energy healing'. It emerged in Japan in the late 1800's and is said to involve the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner's palms to their client. A complete Reiki session is offered to the recipient who is lying on a treatment table or sitting comfortable supported in a chair. Reiki is offered through light, non-invasive touch with the practitioner's hands placed and held on a series of locations on the head and front and back of the torso. Moments of touch from a Reiki trained practitioner can bring comfort and a deep sense of relaxation. This can be booked alone or in combination with massage.
Yoga/Meditation
As a certified Yoga teacher for beginning students, I can help you develop a yoga routine in the comfort of your own home. Whether you are most comfortable in a chair, or on the mat, we can modify any yoga pose to achieve the many benefits that yoga has to offer including: increased mobility/flexibility, stress reduction, improved breathing, increased energy while you are awake and promote healthy sleep patterns.
