Iridology
Includes iris slides and analysis,

updates $30
Learn More
Iridology is the practice of analyzing the delicate structures of the iris, the portion
of the eye that carries color. The iris represents a communication system capable of handling
an amazing quantity of information. This reveals itself in the character of the individual iris
fibers.
Iridology analysis reveals inflammation, where it is located, and in what stage it is manifesting.
The iris records body constitution, inherent weaknesses, levels of health and the
transitions that
take place in a person's body according to the way he or she lives.
The iris is the most complex tissue of the body meeting the outside
world. It is an extension of the brain, being incredibly endowed with hundred
of thousands of nerve endings, microscopic blood vessels, muscle
and other tissues. It is connected to every organ and tissue of the
body by way of the brain and nervous system. The iris is like a microcomputer
readout of bodily function and condition, a
miniature map showing the most remote portions of the body by way of
nerve reflex responses. Nerve fibers in the iris respond to changes in body
tissue.

able to see the positive changes that will take place after you and your
counselor determine a new health path and you improve your health.

Releasing weight isn't just about looking better;
it's a health issue!
Being overweight contributes to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other preventable diseases. It has
been proven that daily tracking and monitoring the amount of calories you consume and the calories you burn is the key to successful
long-term weight and nutrition management. We combine that with the right nutritional program, based on your blood type, as well as an
individualized look into your metabolism, and help you get on your way to a healthier you!
Most people understand metabolism as how slowly or quickly their bodies burn calories. Unfortunately, they don't understand how important
the knowledge of metabolism is for successful weight management. Knowing and understanding your own resting metabolic rate (RMR) could be the key
building block that is missing in your weight management plan.
The only way to know your RMR accurately is to have it measured. We
have a machine that will do just that! Your breathing is recorded for
5 to 7 minutes, then with the knowledge of your own unique RMR, we
can help you
personalize a weight release program that will efficiently
and effectively help you attain your weight management and overall health
goals.

Reflexology
Working with pressure points on the feet,
1 hour $50;½ hour $25
Learn More
Reflexology began as a therapeutic philosophy in 1917 and deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet
and hands, which correspond to all of the glands, organs, and parts of the body. It is a unique method of using the thumb and
fingers on these reflex areas.
Since there are 7,200 nerve endings in the foot, our feet are our
barometer. Releasing tension in this area can be a boon to one's
body in removing waste, and ensuring proper nerve flow, thereby aiding
our
health. Foot
Reflexology has been widely accepted
as a valid means of making one feel good, relaxing and noticeably
functioning better. Because of this experience, Reflexology qualifies
as an important adjunct for health care. Come recline and prop
your feet up while the therapist reflexes, or massages, each foot
and helps to increase circulation, work out areas of tension and congestion,
relieve pain, and promote your well being.

Colon Hydrotherapy
Cleansing of the lower intestinal tract, first appointment 1 1/2
hour $69 (includes consultation); following appointments
$45;
series of six $240
Learn More
Colon
Hydrotherapy is
referred to as colon irrigation, colonics, colon therapy, or high enemas.
Modestly draped and lying on a specially
designed "table," you insert a small, sterile, disposable tube an inch into
the rectum which allows the gentle infusion of filtered, temperature-controlled
water to enter the colon and promotes the body's expulsion of fecal matter.
It is actually a gentle
and often relaxing process that you administer yourself, with the support
of a knowledgeable therapist.
The colon is a reflex organ, meaning there are neurological connections to all other parts and systems of the body. When waste material
has accumulated over a long period of time, it breaks down and becomes toxic. The body responds by slowing down other functions. This
causes constipation and sluggish bowel movements, which affect all other systems of the body.
Some of the signs of a toxic color are coated tongue, bad breath, shallow
complexion, abnormal body odor, dark circles under the eyes, cold hands
and feet, brittle nails and hair, sagging posture (pot belly), tension,
fatigue, allergies, indigestion, chronic headaches,
irritability, nervousness, nausea, depression, asthma, and backaches.

Massage Therapy
- Therapeutic, General Relaxation, Stress Reduction,
1½ hour $89;
1 hour $59; ½ hour $39;¼ hour chair $12
Learn More
Therapeutic Massage is the moving of the soft tissues of the body using techniques such as kneading, sliding, pressure,
vibration, friction, and stretching. Some benefits include pain relief, relaxation, improved circulation, muscle relaxation,
alleviating muscular pain, improvement in cellular nutrition, relief from effects of stress, reduction of anxiety, and relief
from sports injuries.
Pain-Spasm-Pain Cycle: This phenomenon is started either by pain or spasm in a muscle, which perpetuates itself in an endless
loop (i.e., you may tense up from pain - this causes more tension - more pain - more tension - more pain, etc. until something
breaks the cycle.) Massage helps beak this painful cycle.
Damaged Tissues: Accidents at home, work, or play can leave bruises, sprains, and other injuries in the soft tissues. Massage
improves circulation, helping to clear cellular debris from an injury site, and brining nutrients needed to heal the damaged tissues.
Thus massage helps speed up recovery time. Clients who receive massage on a regular basis experience improved self-esteem, confidence,
weight reduction, and a more positive outlook.

- Hot Rock Therapy,
1 hour $69; 1½ hour $89
- Raindrop Therapy,
1 hour $69
Learn More
This technique involves dropping Essential Oils directly onto the spine from about 6 inches above the body. The oils
are then worked into the spine using light strokes with the fingers which stimulate nerve impulses and disperse the oils
along the nervous system throughout the entire body. In this way, the body can be brought into balance and the energy
centers can be cleared and re-aligned.
This unique therapy will also help to reduce spinal inflammations
and kill viruses that hibernate along the spinal column, as well
as help to straighten any spinal curvatures. Although a session lasts for
about 45 minutes
to an hour, the oils will
continue to work in the body for a week or more following the treatment.

- Sinus Pressure Relief,

- Lymphatic Drain,
1 hour $59
Learn More
Lymphatic Drain Therapy is a method of stimulating your lymph and body fluids. It is a very gentle hands-on procedure
that will help you eliminate fluid retention, cleanse your body, and eliminate toxins and trapped proteins in your tissues.
It will stimulate your Immune System, help you to relax, and release stress and emotional trauma. The passage of lymph into
the lymph nodes stimulates the immune system. Lymphatic Drain also decreases the sympathetic response and stimulates the parasympathetic
tone - relaxation, anti-spastic effects, antalgic (anti-pain) actions. Lymphatic Drain Therapy has been successfully used to
alleviate conditions such as swelling (edemas) of many origins and chronic pain. It activates lymph function and circulation,
and indirectly stimulates the circulation of the body. It is also very helpful for sports and cosmetic applications, scars, and wrinkles.

- Cranio-Sacral Therapy,
1 hour $59
Learn More
CranioSacral therapy is a simple approach for achieving structural and systemic balance. During this therapy, you
relax fully-clothed on a massage table while the therapist uses a light touch, about the weight of a
nickel, to hold
points of tension along the sacrum and spine and on the cranium. This allows the release of tense muscles, enables
proper structural alignment, and aids the nervous system in achieving balance.
CranioSacral therapy may reduce symptoms of headaches/migraines,
low back pain, acute pain, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia,
morning sickness, short-term memory loss, numbness in hand/feet,
autism, lazy eye.

Emotional Release
Using essential oils for emotional healing,
1 hour $50
Learn More
If you could uncover and heal the root cause of your illness or emotional pain would you? Could you open your heart to the beautiful
and awesome creation that you really are?
Research has suggested that we carry in our DNA inherited emotional baggage from past generations as well as our own. These emotions are
stored in the amygdala gland in the brain, part of the limbic system. Essential
Oils are used because they are capable of breaking through
the blood/brain barrier. Essential Oils can travel to the amygdale gland where emotions are stored and the aroma helps release these
stored emotions.
During an Emotional Centering session, you may experience flashbacks
or think about things in the past - or you may experience little emotion.
Procedure: Lying on a table, fully clothed and with soft music playing, essential oils are applied to different areas of the body. No
talking is necessary during the session. (Please wear old comfortable clothes - as the oils may stain.)

Have you experienced how much better a piano or other instrument
sounds after being properly tuned? That is the difference you
will feel after this therapy! This amazing technique uses
color; peaceful
music set at a particular note; specially mixed essential oils;
and unique tuning forks that, when struck, resonate at the perfect

What to Expect during Therapy: Lying
fully clothed on a massage table, you will first hear the sound of
music designed to reduce the stress of your Adrenal and Glandular
Systems. While
the music plays, your therapist will apply essential oils to your
feet, also allowing
you to smell them. After the application of the oil, a colored cloth
is layered over the adrenal area. At this time, light massage techniques
may also be used. This sequence occurs for 6 other key areas of stress.

boost your Immune System, and support your Nervous System.
