Reiki is a Japanese healing technique based on that energy flow throughout the body. In Reiki, a skilled practitioner can channel energy to promote healing and balance. This practice promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and helps the individual achieve a higher-level of self-awareness.

Reiki is believed to work by transferring energy from the practitioner to the recipient. It is thought that this energy transfer can help to reduce stress and promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.The practitioner uses their hands to transfer energy to areas of the body that need healing or balance.

During a Reiki session, the recipient typically lies down or sits comfortably while the practitioner places their hands on or near various parts of the body. The recipient may feel a warm or tingling sensation, and many people report feeling deeply relaxed and at peace during and after the session.

Crystal healing is an alternative therapy that uses gemstones or crystals to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Practitioners believe that the crystals’ energy can interact with the body’s energy fields to restore balance physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

During a crystal healing session, a practitioner places crystals or gemstones on or near the body’s chakras (energy centers). It is believed that the crystals’ unique energy fields can interact with the body’s energy fields to remove tangible and intangible blockages and stimulate the healing process.

During a crystal healing session, the client will then lie down while the practitioner places the crystals on or near their body’s energy centers. A crystal healing practitioner may also use gentle touch or massage techniques to promote optimal relaxation. Clients may feel a variety of sensations during the session, such as warmth, tingling, or a sense of overall calmness, clarity, and peace.

Sound Bowl Healing, also referred to as a Sound Bath, is a form of vibrational medicine that involves the use of Tibetanl singing bowls, tuning forks, or gongs to produce sound waves that help calm the mind, relax the body, and promote interconnectedness throughout the body, mind, and spirit.

During a Sound Bowl Healing session, the practitioner will use instruments to emit specific tones and frequencies. As the sound waves resonate throughout the body, they help to shift the brain into a more relaxed state, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote a sense of inner well-being.

During a Sound Bowl Healing session, the practitioner will ask you to lie down or sit comfortably, and then play a series of different frequencies and tones. Patients feel the vibrations throughout the body and experience a sense of deep relaxation. Some people report seeing colors or experiencing a heightened sense of awareness.

Drum Circle Therapy is a type of group therapy that involves the use of group drumming and percussion instruments to promote expression, community, and interconnectedness. It is often used in addiction recovery as well as other and mental health treatments.

During a drum circle therapy session, a group is guided by a facilitator to play percussion instruments together. The rhythms and beats created by the group drumming can create a sense of community and promote an emotional release.

During a drum circle therapy session, patients are provided percussion instruments such as drums, shakers, and tambourines. The facilitator will guide the group in playing rhythms and beats together, and may also incorporate movement and dance.

Aromatherapy is the use of scents, primarily natural essential oils, to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual flow. This connectedness brings about a higher-level of self-awareness to help with relapse prevention.

Our sense of smell is linked to the limbic system, which is the part of the brain that controls memory and emotional responses. When essential oils are inhaled, they can have a therapeutic effect on the mind and body. The oils may be applied on the skin, diffused in the air, or sometimes inhaled through a personal inhaler.

During an aromatherapy session, an aromatherapist guides the patients through the use of essential oils to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and address specific concerns, including both emotional and physical symptoms. The therapist may also provide education on the safe and effective use of essential oils outside of a therapy environment.
