Winter Special 2012: Self Love

Winter Special: Self Love
Two Hours of Integrative Healing

Threshold, art journal

When was the last time you gave yourself a heaping spoonful of love and gratitude? What about time for self-reflection and nurturing? How might you see yourself deepening your connection to self and in turn connecting more deeply with others?

In this two-hour integrative healing session, we will focus on the healing power of your heart chakra — your center of love, self-love, gratitude, and compassion.

This special includes:

A bubbling aromatherapy foot spa to relax you the instant you sit down in my studio.
Full-spectrum light therapy to elevate your mood.
Paraffin hand therapy to provide deep heat and moisture to your hands, which are extensions of your heart chakra.
An Enchanted Tarot card reading and personal consultation.
An integrated bodywork session to help soothe your body and open your heart using massage, energywork, guided visualization, and whatever else you are needing/wanting at this time.
An aromatherapy mister or roller to take home.

This special is not only suitable for YOU, but also makes a lovely Valentine’s gift! Gift certificates are available.
Cost: $150

Cash, credit/debit cards, and checks accepted.

Gift certificates available.

Dreams Aflutter, encaustic

Thank you for visiting Rising Bird Healing Arts, my nexus of creativity and healing. As you may gather from visiting the pages on this site, I am not your average massage therapist.

I have often been called “The Creative Healer” because my approach to bodywork specifically, and healing in general, is creative in nature: the mind is a creative force that can help to heal the body and the messages we receive from the body–through sensation, imagery, or emotion–may not only relieve pain, stiffness, and tension, but may also help us understand our lives in a profound and meaningful way.

I am a Licensed Massage Practitioner and Reiki Master as well as an artist, writer, and teacher. I combine these skills and experiences to create custom sessions for my clients that fit their needs. No two sessions are alike, for no two clients are alike. For instance, I may combine deep tissue massage for neck pain with some guided visualization, aromatherapy, and Reiki. Or I may ask you to draw your pain with crayons before a session or create a poem with my Healing Words Magnetic Poetry set. In all, getting to know you well through deep listening is of paramount importance to me. And I may guide you in deepening your connection to your body’s wisdom as well.

Types of clients who benefit from my approach:

Anyone interested in an integrated, holistic approach to healing.
Those who wish to learn more about themselves (and the themes in their lives) through bodywork.
People who wish to work through grief, depression, and anxiety in a safe environment.
Those who wish to deepen their spirituality or sense of self.
Artists of all types who wish to deepen their connection to their work and get unstuck.
People who are interested in the emotional side of bodywork.
Anyone who wants a bodywork experience in which they wish to feel seen, heard, and deeply understood.

As you explore this website, you will also find more information about my massage practice; announcements about upcoming events, workshops, and classes; a gateway to sending e-cards of my original art pieces; and a link to my blog The Healing Nest!
