These techniques encourage healthy energy flow in the gut, improved muscle tone and hormonal function, expanded breathing, and organ detoxification.

Craniosacral Therapy

Gua Sha Scraping Massage

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese therapy for expelling toxins and preventing diseases. A simple scraping plate coupled with oil, when applied to the body repeatedly, can reach the effect of smoothing Qi and blood flow, stimulating main and collateral channels, expelling toxins and alleviating pain.

Animal Flow Yoga

Learn how to use your body better by mimicking different animals using a combination of yoga, Pilates and contemporary dance. Animal Flow incorporates various forms of primal movement patterns which are designed to improve mobility, strength and your overall wellness.

Progressive Autogenic Deep Relaxation

Autogenic means “self-generating," and the primary goal for this form of therapy is to train people to use the body's relaxation response on their own, as needed. Learn to use this method to manage your emotional responses to stress and control physical symptoms such as blood pressure, heart rate, and rapid breathing.
