Private Reiki Sessions

Reiki is a stress reduction and relaxation technique from Japan that can also promote healing. It is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us through a “laying of the hands.” Reiki treats the whole person leaving them feeling relaxed, peaceful, secure and with a feeling of well being.

Thai Yoga is a dynamic bodywork therapy based on yoga and Ayurveda that was born in the temples of Thailand. The practitioner guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body’s energy lines and pressure points.

Thai yoga is performed on a comfortable thick cushion on the floor. Both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement.
