Reiki will not interfere with any medical treatment you are receiving. In fact, you will find self-healing with Reiki is a wonderful addition to medical care. It can decrease stress often times associated with chronic or acute medical conditions. This will support the mind and body to heal while enlivening the spirit to feel whole again.
If you are feeling anxious, you will feel calmer. When you calm the nervous system, your mind and body will relax. This creates a chain of events to help bring you back into balance. It will calm your nerves before a big test or public speaking. Stuck in traffic, a few moments of Reiki will help you to be in a more grounded place when you finally reach your destination. Just five or ten minutes of Reiki a day will help you to move into your day feeling centered, at peace and energized. Benefits of Reiki

Zen Baby Practice for mommy, daddy and baby-to-be!
Reiki is an energy therapy that works with the body’s own remarkable healing capabilities. It helps to promote and accelerate the natural healing process and restore balance on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Self-healing with Reiki can be done safely for pregnant women. It does not cause any harm to the mother or her unborn baby, therefore making it safe to be used not only during all stages of pregnancy, but also from conception right through to childbirth. The body and mind of an expectant mother go through a lot of changes during pregnancy. The energy balance in her body and mind (emotional balance) is under constant pressure, potentially weakening her physically and emotionally. Self healing with Reiki during pregnancy can help balance her energy and clear her body, mind and spirit. This can help her relax deeply and enable her to react quickly to all body and lifestyle changes with ease. Reiki can be highly beneficial in helping her pregnancy to develop in a stable, balanced and natural manner. Seek a doctor's attention if you notice anything unusual or feel out of the ordinary. Reiki is great to be used in conjunction with midwives and any other professional in your birthing team.

NOTE: The June 5th Event has been canceled. This monthly event will resume on July 3rd. Nicotine addiction is one of the most prevalent health problems that society has been facing for the past 100 years. What compounds this problem is that nicotine addiction a combination of the substance’s mood enhancing effects and the avoidance of withdrawal symptoms. But clearly, the greatest problem is that conditioning has occurred in the life of the user and habits have formed. The idea of having a cigarette with the morning cup of coffee, on break with fellow co-workers, or at the end of the day while relaxing with family or friends is ingrained into the routine of the day. Hypnosis is a tool that allows the mind to behave intentionally; to direct one’s life back on the course to health. Hypnosis is effective in assisting the mind to work with the body during the time it recalibrates itself to a more healthful standard. It accomplishes this in many ways: • Supports the motivation to stop use • Creates a new neurological pathway between mind and body • Introduces new behaviors beneficial and returns the body to a nicotine-free state • Modifies behavior to change formerly self-destructive habits • Restores concentration during the day without nicotine use • Changes behavior without substituting one addiction with another i.e. food, nicotine gum, the patch, vaping, etc. • Allows the mind and body to sleep more fitfully and completely This is a group hypnosis session offered monthly and is open to all. One time may be all that’s required but returning subjects are always welcome as they continue the effort to become nicotine free. Smoking Cessation

Do you think that there's "nothing new under the sun"? Well, there is, and there isn't. Women have been struggling with the symptoms of menopause for ages. Conventional therapy with hormones are used by many women who, unfortunately live with the various side-effects Many women cannot use the therapy and many choose not to do so. Many medications and herbal treatments exist that simply don't work or just prolong the experience. A clinical trial of Hypnotherapy performed at Baylor University over a four-year period (https://www.news-medical.net/news/20150923/NAMS-panel-provides-recommendations-to-help-women-manage-menopause-associated-vasomotor-symptoms.aspx) has show results effecting a significant reduction in the severity of hot flashes: Mean reductions in hot flash score, (a product of hot flash frequency by hot flash severity) were 16.72 hypnosis group (71.36%) at week 6 from baseline as compared to a 1.91 reduction in hot flash score (8.32% reduction) in control, (p<.001, 95% CI 38.84–47.85). At 12 week follow-up, participants in the hypnosis intervention reported a continuing reduction of 18.83, (80.32%) from baseline as compared to a 3.53, (15.38%) in the control condition. Mean differences in hot flash scores at week 12 follow-up were significant between conditions (p<.001, 95% CI 12.60–17.54). This study led the North American Menopause Society to recommend Hypnotherapy as a viable therapy for non-hormonal management of menopause symptoms. In this course, I am offering training in this technique for menopause suffers who desire an alternative to menopause management. Participants will participate in hypnosis to start alleviating various symptoms, and will learn a self-hypnosis process giving them additional control over the process. A recording will also be provided for daily use and practice. Additionally, sleep patterns will be re-established and methods for dealing with stress implemented. Hypnotherapy for Menopause

Plants are all around us, from microscopic organisms to huge, ancient trees. Many of today's most widely used pharmaceuticals are based on the chemical properties of ancient plant medicines discovered by indigenous peoples.
But beyond their physical properties, plants are spiritual beings who have their own unique awareness, wisdom and healing gifts that can help people, not only physically but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Plants are the planet’s original healers and very wise teachers. In this experiential workshop, we will use shamanic techniques, such as journeying, creative expression and ceremony, to explore the amazing realm of the plant beings. You will learn to communicate with plant spirits, tap into their vast wisdom and receive their healing gifts. No previous journeying experience is necessary. What to Bring

Groundbreaking research has now shown what shamans have always known, that we carry within us the tears of our ancestors. Science has found that genetic mutations caused by trauma create “cellular memories” that can be transmitted to future generations. Imagine the world’s collective burden of grief from the trauma and loss accumulated through thousands of years of human history. In this experiential workshop, we will explore our collective inheritance of ancestral grief. In the process you may discover ways that you personally may have been affected by the wounds of your own ancestors. Using the shaman’s tools of journeying, creating shamanic art and ceremony to heal these wounds and create a new legacy of peace for present and future generations. Shamanic journey experience is helpful but not necessary to benefit from this workshop. Please bring with you: A notebook or journal A blanket, pillows, beach chair or some other way to get comfortable during shamanic journeying An eye shade or something to cover your eyes Lunch and snacks for yourself A drum or rattle (optional) Healing Ancestral Grief:

Do you sometimes feel blocked, inexplicably weary, unable to make decisions or move forward in your life? You may be weighed down by unresolved grief. We all experience painful losses in life that affect us deeply, even though they may have happened long ago, and we may believe we have put them behind us. Whether it's the death of a loved one or other kinds of loss, like our parents’ divorce, the end of an important friendship, a miscarriage, losing a beloved pet, home foreclosure or job loss—these are just a few examples of experiences that can leave lasting scars. Unfortunately, our culture does not make room for us to grieve our losses . We are expected to soldier on and bury our feelings. But this unresolved grief, which almost everyone carries, can keep us stuck, and unable to live our best life. This workshop will help you identify where you may be carrying grief and help you work with it on a spiritual level to bring peace and healing in all areas of your life. Working within a circle of safety and openness, we will use guided meditation to the beat of a drum, time spent in nature, ceremony, creative expression and sharing to acknowledge and release what grieves us with intention and awareness. What to bring:
