Healing helps restore the body back to a state of health and well being.

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of positioning and placement. It examines how the energy flows in your living environment. Feng Shui is the art of creating environments that support our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well being. The ultimate goal of Feng Shui is to create sacred space.

Therapeutic Coaching is a blend of coaching (education and support) and therapeutic changework used with individuals, couples, families and businesses. Therapeutic coaches have master practitioner certifications in hypnosis, NLP, and HNLP. Sessions provide the transformational education necessary to assist clients in understanding how beliefs, values, behaviors, problems and outcomes are developed and created. A variety of techniques are then used to disappear and heal what is blocking access to the resources necessary to achieve desired outcomes, create new behaviors and new beliefs.

Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Psychology (HNLP) is the study of how the mind creates reality through language and behavior. As Deepak Chopra says, “Language is how we create something from nothing.” Since consciousness is the creator of reality, then language is the creating of reality.

Reiki is spiritually guided life force energy.
