Reiki is Japanese for “vital life force energy”. It is a transmission of spiritually guided subtle energy that balances body, mind, and spirit through clearing energetic blockages. The effect of Reiki is deeply relaxing and soothing, allowing the recipient to reconnect with one’s essential nature. The treatment is received fully clothed through gentle hands-on placements of the practitioner. The energy flows wherever required and is usually felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body, leaving a wonderful glowing radiance within.

A body wrap - also known as a 'body cocoon' or 'body mask' - is a spa treatment created to enhance the health and appearance of skin. This treatment improves the texture and appearance of the skin, helping the body get rid of dead skin, excess fluids, and toxins. Benefits of body wraps may include detoxification, boosting of the lymphatic system and metabolism, body contouring, temporary inch-loss, skin tightening, and skin softening. We use a paste made of raw almonds, honey, and medicinal herbs creating an exfoliating and relaxing experience.

Relaxation massage is a smooth, gentle, flowing style that promotes general relaxation, relieves muscular tension, plus improves circulation and range of movement. Pressure is deeply relaxing, but not painful. This treatment is designed to relax and soothe you, but not to relieve chronic pain or other underlying issues.

Hot stone massage is a method of massaging that involves the use of smooth stones heated in water. The localized heat and weight of the stones help warm and relax the muscles, allowing the practitioner to provide deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort. The heated stones facilitate access to the muscle tissue much faster on a deeper level.

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.

Also known as Nonviolent Communication (or NVC), Compassionate Communication is a powerful set of tools that can transform our lives. Founded by Marshall Rosenberg, there are now NVC practice groups in over 100 countries as NVC is being used worldwide. NVC is non-denominational, cross-cultural and can be used by anyone who wants to have better relationships. Compassionate Communication guides us to re-frame how we express ourselves, how we hear others and resolve conflicts by focusing our consciousness on what we are observing, feeling, needing, and requesting. This modality is based on Dr. Ann West’s availability. This modality will not be available for all retreats.

This is a sauna technology that infuses oxygen through steam and hot air into your skin and body in a special bag. The steam creates openings in the pores and infuses ozone into the circulation and lymphatic system. Ozone’s effect on damaged cells is quite specific. It attacks the pathogenic materials that don’t have a protective coating; it assaults diseased cells that proliferate but exist without adequate cell wall enzymes. Pure oxygen does not do this in quite the same way. Unlike oxygen, ozone selectively kills cancer cells. Ozone ONLY kills the pathogenic cells. Chemotherapy and radiation are just as efficient at killing cancer cells, but they kill healthy cells too. Both oxygen and ozone are enemies to viruses. Because viruses are anaerobic, blasts of high concentration of oxygen and ozone are very effective in killing them.

Reflexology is a massage of the feet and hands. It is a holistic energy-based modality that improves nerve, blood and lymphatic supply to entire body by pressing reflex areas on the feet. These areas and acupressure points correspond to all vital organs of the body. Benefits: Stress relief, improved circulation, removal blockages of Life Force or Chi (Qi) to enable healing flow.
