Hydration Hydration
is a fundamental key to cultivating a healthy mind and vibrant skin. Adequete hydration enhances mental clarity, sharpens focus, and supports overall cognitive function. It also calms the mind, reducing stress & anxiety, and promotes emotional balance.
Crucial for maintaining supple and glowing skin, proper hydration replenishes moisture, prevents dryness, and helps achieve a youthful complexion. It also aids in the skin's natural detoxification process, resulting in clarity and radiance.

The relationships between them and their interactions are mathematically based, and Astrology studies these mathematical cycles.

In between, each other Sign carries the energy of a different phase of (wo)man’s evolution within the universe.

The system searches for stress patterns in the body and then administers appropriate therapies to help the body correct any imbalances found.

Trauma, posture or inflammation can create a binding down of the fascia resulting in excessive pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, osseous structures, and/or organs. The Myofascial Approach consists of the gentle application of sustained pressure into the fascial restrictions which relies on feedback received by the Therapist through the patient’s tissue.

N.O.T. is a “systems approach” to healing.

Healing — A range of therapies in which sound is used to treat physical and mental conditions based on the theory that all of life vibrates, including people’s bodies. Treatment by sound waves is believed to restore that healthy balance to the body and its energy fields. The healing sound is transmitted to the affected area of the body and may be produced by any number of methods including voice, bowls, drums, bell, tuning forks and/or music.
Thermography — A heat-sensing infrared camera is used to record the surface heat produced by different parts of the body. Abnormal tissue growth can cause temperature changes, which may show up on the thermogram.
Time Line Therapy™ (TLT) — A hypnotic approach created by NLP practitioner, Tad James. It derives from NLP and is based on the concept that our unconscious mind stores memories in a linear pattern (like a timeline). The Time Line Therapy™ techniques allow you to release the baggage carried around by negative emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, and guilt and allow you to react in a more appropriate, less charged way the next time a situation should arise with a similar experience map.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — A medical system that has been used for thousands of years to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. It is based on the belief that qi (the body’s vital energy) flows along meridians (channels) in the body and keeps a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health in balance. Traditional Chinese medicine aims to restore the body’s balance and harmony between the natural opposing forces of yin and yang, which can block qi and cause disease. Traditional Chinese medicine includes acupuncture, diet, herbal therapy, meditation, physical exercise, and massage.
Trigger-point Therapy — A safe pain management technique whereby a trained specialist inserts a hair-thin needle into your muscle’s trigger point, which is the sensitive or tender point that is emanating pain. This method is also known as dry needling, since the needles do not carry any medication.
Tui Na — Chinese massage that uses kneading, pressing, rolling, shaking, and stretching of the body. Tui na is thought to regulate qi (vital energy) and blood flow, and improve the function of tendons, bones, and joints.
Tuning Fork Therapy — A very gentle, yet powerful modality to treat the body and mind and restore inner balance and health. It works with the nervous system, the tissues and the more subtle energies of the body.
Vibrational Healing — See Sound Therapy / Vibrational Healing
Visceral Manipulation — A gentle manual technique involving specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera (internal organs) and the connective tissue and ligaments that support each organ onto our skeleton.
Watsu — Aquatic bodywork involving stretching and Shiatsu which is applied while being floated in warm water. The water temperature (95† – 97† F) is ideal for experiencing a sensation of deep relaxation. Gentle stretching increases flexibility and strengthens muscles.
Yoga Therapy — A one-on-one application of the philosophy and practices of yoga to directly and holistically facilitate healing. Techniques are chosen according to the individual client to resolve pain and blockages by supporting and nurturing the spine, nervous system, muscles, bones, joints, subtle channels, and the mind. While therapeutic approaches vary by yoga style, all promote non-invasive techniques that utilize yoga poses, breath, and wisdom for increasing prana (life force), tejas (energy) and ojas (resilience).
