Bodytalk treats the bodymind as a whole rather than focusing on individual symptoms. Since the body is an energy source, there are times when lines of communication are blocked, hindering balance and healing. By focusing on the body's priorities, the lines of communication between the brain and body begin to communicate more effectively, therefore restoring balance as well as aiding in healing.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, or emotional distress, our Reiki healing sessions can help you achieve a greater sense of peace, harmony, and vitality.

Spiritual Healing
Spiritual healing treatment involves the transfer of energy through the healer to the client. It promotes self-healing by relaxing the body, releasing tensions, and strengthening the body’s own immune system. Healing is natural and non-invasive with the intention of bringing the client into a state of balance and wellbeing on all levels.
Spiritual healing involves a deeper soul healing where the practitioner goes into a deeper meditative state and uses gentle touch to send the healing energy.
