Intuitive Body work
Our Body Work sessions are a cornerstone of all that we do and are therapeutic by nature. Both Shawn and Minga have similar gifts in the ability to feel and sense energetic flow, constitutional balance and sometimes receive “messages” about their clients through intuition. Inspired by Traditional Thai Medicine clients always remain fully clothed and oils or lotions are only applied for therapeutic reasons to compliment the healing process as needed. We work on a traditional massage mat which allows a freedom of movement and mobility not always possible on a table. Sessions last from 1-2 hours depending on the therapist and what is required for the client to receive full benefit from the session by addressing the entire body and all its systems in a proper manner. The intension in our sessions is to create a healing space for our recipients guiding them to their own healing process through the informing progression of the bodywork.

Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy sessions are more than private yoga instruction. We use all the tools available from the ancient tradition of Yoga to create a personal and dynamic healing experience, creating a practice that the recipient carries with them long after the session is complete. The unique personal practice created for the individual is cultivated by the healing intension set by the recipient with guidance.
We work in a five kosha model addressing all five aspects of a human as defined by the tradition of Yoga.
Anamaya Kosha-the physical body
Pranamaya Kosha- the energetic body
Manomaya Kosha- the psycho-emotional body
Vinyanamaya Kosha- the wisdom body (core beliefs)
Anandamaya Kosha- the spiritual body (connection to spirit)
In a typical session the recipient is guided in- yoga asana (yoga postures) and or somatic movements, pranayama (breath work which connects and cultivates the energetic body), and Yoga Nidra or personalized visualizations (addressing the psycho emotional, core belief system, and spiritual connectivity of the client).
Also included in a session is Aroma Therapy using special lotions and oils stimulating the senses to enhance the healing process. Natural scents and herbs are classically used in yoga and auyerveda to address specific blockages and ailments in the five 5 koshas. The therapist will work with the individual client or class and match the scents and herbs to the issues arising. All products used are bio-available, fresh, raw and organic.

Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a dynamic healing experience whereby the practitioner hooks into the recipients energy bodies on many levels creating a neutral space for the clients own healing power from within to initiate the “unwinding” healing process. The recipients own healing energy is often capable of affecting the tissue, fluids, thought process, and any area or dimension of the self that craves healing.
There is no typical session since each session is so unique. Sessions last about 60 minutes with the client remaining fully clothed and the session being conducted on either a massage table or matt. Passive touch on specific energy centers is often involved in addition to dialogue which can sometimes lead to guided visualizations or shamanic story creation. Oils are also often used in enhancing the therapeutic process by using the sense of smell to release stored emotions. Oftentimes recipients are surprised at the transformations that occur following a session. The time it takes for these “transformations” to occur varies but are usually easy to relate back to the therapy session. Craniosacral work is a truly unique and powerful healing art. To find out what a session is truly like it is best to be experienced.
