What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis, also called hypnotherapy, is a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration. It’s a type of mind-body medicine.
A trained and certified hypnotist or hypnotherapist guides you into this deep state of focus and relaxation with verbal cues, repetition and imagery. When you’re under hypnosis, this intense level of concentration and focus allows you to ignore ordinary distractions and be more open to guided suggestions to make changes to improve your health.

PROCEDURE DETAILS
What typically happens during a hypnotic session?
There are four stages of hypnosis: induction, deepener, suggestions and emergence.
Induction
During this stage, you begin to relax, focus your attention and ignore distractions. Your hypnotherapist will guide you through this stage with specific techniques such as controlled breathing (breathing in over a count of seven, then breathing out over a count of 11), or progressive muscle relaxation (tensing muscles as you breathe in and relaxing muscles as you breathe out, then repeating in a certain order of muscle groups throughout your body) or focusing on a visual image.
Deepener
This stage continues the first stage, taking your relaxation and focus to a deeper level. This step often involves counting down or using similar descending imagery such as walking down stairs or slowly sinking deeper and deeper into a comfortable bed. These first two stages are aimed at easing your openness to suggestions.
Suggestions
This is the stage for actual change in experience, behavior or perception. Your hypnotherapist will use imagery and carefully chosen language. The suggestions are usually symptom focused (to resolve a symptom) or exploratory (to explore experiences associated with the start of symptoms). Suggested changes may be in perception, sensation, emotion, memory, thought or behavior.
Emergence
During this stage, you come out of hypnosis. Your hypnotist may use reverse deepeners, such as giving you the suggestions that you’re climbing up stairs or counting up.

Many years ago while working in the spa, I used to ask my clients if they want to include Reiki within their massage session.
That became so popular that when new people were coming in, they were asking for a Reiki Massage.

BENEFITS OF CUPPING
Cupping is an ancient healing tradition dating back some 3,000 years to societies in Egypt, the Middle East, and China.
Health and Wellness Benefits.
Improved circulation: Increasing blood flow to a particular area promotes healing.
Pain relief: Cupping may be especially helpful in treating muscle tension and spasms.
Relaxation: The effect is quite like that of a massage.
I use the Moving Cupping technique: This method is also known as “sliding” cupping. Oil is applied to the skin, and the cup is continuously glided over a larger area. This is particularly helpful in relieving muscle tightness and is similar to a deep tissue massage.
This technique is very effective but typically does not leave any circle marks behind.

Stretching is even touted as a way to lower your stress levels, improve your sleep and boost your energy.
Many people can go through life having normalized things like lower back pain and neck pain.
More often than not, those pains are not normal.
Something is not moving properly.
Assisted Stretching addresses these pains and stiffness.
🦉 Journeying is a way of finding answers, information, healing, wisdom and knowledge as well as guidance or help with one’s personal life. During the Journey you meets with spirits guides and power animals.

The journey world is made up of three parts, the lower world, the upper world and the middle world.
On this guided journey, you can enter an altered state of consciousness through listening to rhythmic drumming. Then journey to the world of spirit and connect with spirit guides and spirit teachers for healing work.
I can take you on this journey to the upper world and then to the lower world. First you can journey to meet your main power animal. And once you once you connect with your power animal, then both of you journey together to the other worlds to find treasures of knowledge from your spirit guides and teachers in spirit. And also journey to find other power animals waiting to join your team. All these power animals will support you and help you in all of your endeavors in your day-to-day life.
Using guided meditation and relaxation. I take you on a journey to meet the issues in your life that need healing.
It could be an illness, pain or a phobia. It could be anything in your life that you're having conflict with or an issue that needs to be resolved.
Together, we will create a physical manifestation of the object of your journey and we will incite compassion and consequently healing.

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles.

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork.

Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
CranioSacral Technique is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress.

Reiki Therapy and Energy work is based on the belief that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance and flow to your entire system. And once your energy field has been restored to full health, your body will follow.
