My practice is intuitive based. I listen to the body's rhythm to move my hands to the areas most needed to be massaged. My technique is somewhat of an ironing out the wrinkles in the bodys muscles. I use Ayurvedic herbal organic oils. With my initial touch I use Cranio Sacral holds to calm the mind and relax the body. The Cranio Sacral techniques work with the facia of the body releasing adhesions. Then I do a deep relaxation massage. When the body is relaxed I will use deep tissue massage if there are tight areas of holding. I use hot stones when someones body is hurting, long term chronic fatique or fibromyalgia. The heat relaxes the muscles and relieves the pain. Over time and lifestyle changes the pain can be decreased significantly. I also do Ayurveda, using meditation, pranyama (deep breathing) techniques. During your treatment you will often be instructed to breathe at the beginning. The remainiing time is a quiet deeply relaxing experience. I also do 6 week 2 hour workshops. At the last session I serve a beautiful bouguet of delicious organic foods.

When all aspects of ourselves are in balance--body, mind and spirit--we express more of our full potential as loving, creative human beings. Body-oriented practices such as Energy Healing, Massage and Bodywork can quickly bring us back to our center, where healing and awakening happens. When we are centered, we experience peace, balance, clarity of mind and joy. Stress melts away, and solutions to problems arise effortlessly. We are present and fully alive. Each of us has a "healer within" that is our source for deep healing and renewal. My work is about helping people connect with this part of themselves and be centered. To come back home to themselves. Some people are born with a healing ability, or through traumatic experiences develop that gift. I also know that this is a skill that can be taught and enhanced through specialized training. I've had the good fortune to study with several masters of energy healing who taught me to work with a whole spectrum of life energies that support healing and awakening. Benefits of Star Energy Healing * sense of spaciousness, openness, peace * feeling balanced, centered * lightness and effortlessness * insight and understanding, mental clarity * increased energy & alertness * pain relief, ease * hopefulness * freedom Life Energy Assessment At our initial session I ask clients to stand up while I evaluate both the quality and quantity of their life energy. Using extended perception, I look at each energy chakra (center), the whole body, and each person's energy field. This pinpoints the best areas to focus on during the session to get maximum benefit. Inner Light-Fire Then, I teach each client an energy meditation that brings a flood of Inner Light-Fire right into their body to cleanse and heal. Many clients continue to work with this meditation like process at home, to further their healing work. At each additional session I introduce other energy meditation "tools." These include techniques to cleanse a person's energy field, energy chakras and body-mind consciousness.
