Thai Herbal Compresses:

The use of herbs is an integral part of Traditional Thai Medicine, and heated herbal compresses are often incorporated into massage sessions. They are beneficial in many chronic pain conditions, and are simultaneously relaxing and invigorating for the body and mind. In this one day class, we will look at the properties of a variety of herbs that are typically used in Thailand , along with a few more easily obtained western alternatives. We will go through the process of creating our own heated compresses from the herbs on hand, and learn how to use them as part of a massage.

Reiki One:

Join Reiki Master Teacher Colleen Helgerson for an expansive look into the Art of Inviting Happiness (commonly known as Reiki). This class will bring to you a firm energetic base. We each desire a solid base from which to build our lives.  For me that base began with the connection to spirit I have found through the grounding and healing of the ancient art of Reiki. Through the development of an inner understanding of our connectedness. We can bring confidence and vitality to our lives and work. Class consists of learning the Reiki basics (the who, what, where, and why's) and prepares the student to begin self-healing on all levels of existence. Cost $100.
