WHAT IS HOLISTIC HEALING?
HO·LIS·TIC — adjective
Characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of an illness."many people conclude that holistic medicines are beneficial"
Holistic healing considers the whole person -- body, mind, spirit, and emotions -- in the quest for optimal health and wellness. We believe that the whole person is made up of interdependent parts and if one part is not working properly, all the other parts will be affected. In this way, if people have imbalances (physical, emotional, or spiritual) in their lives, it can negatively affect their overall health. Some of our favorite holistic healing methods are:
REIKI – Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing. Tara became a Reiki Master on December 20th, 2022.
HALOTHERAPY / SALT THERAPY / SALT CAVE – Halotherapy, or salt therapy, involves breathing in air with tiny salt particles to improve your breathing. Halotherapy is an all-natural alternative treatment for lung problems such as asthma, bronchitis, and cough. Salt therapy has many qualities such as anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunity boosting, muco-activity, and anti-allergic. Sit back, breathe, relax, and enjoy.
FLOTATION THERAPY – A float tank, also known as a floatation tank, a sensory deprivation tank, or an isolation tank, is a tank filled with 300 millimeters of Epsom salt and water heated to the outer skin temperature. The high salt concentration of the tank makes it easy for you to float on your back with the back of your head partially underwater. Tanks tend to be large so you can stretch fully without touching its roof, floor, or walls.
INFRARED SAUNA / COCOON – An infrared sauna uses light to make heat. A regular sauna uses heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body. An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you. Generally, people like saunas because they cause reactions like those caused by moderate exercise, such as vigorous sweating and an increased heart rate.
AQUA MASSAGE – An aqua massage uses water, but you stay dry and clothed! Fifteen aqua massages can equal 30 minutes of "hands-on" massage.
CRYSTAL HEALING – Crystals have been used for thousands of years as a means of healing and transformation. Receiving healing from crystals can help to restore balance and harmony in the body, mind, and spirit. Tara, our certified crystal healer, is an expert in identifying and selecting which crystals are right for your needs.
SOUND THERAPY – A centuries-old practice, many find solace in singing bowls designed for deep listening, allowing them to unwind, refocus, and tap into a sense of inner peace. Sound therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive approach to enhance emotional and physical well-being.
