Acupuncture
Acupuncture therapy promotes health and alleviates pain and suffering. The perspective from which an acupuncturist views health and sickness hinges on concepts of "vital energy," "energetic balance" and "energetic imbalance." Just as the Western medical doctor monitors the blood flowing through blood vessels and the messages traveling via the nervous system, the acupuncturist assesses the flow and distribution of this "vital energy" within its pathways, known as "meridians and channels."

Energy Therapy
Energy therapy is the gentle art of clearing cellular memory through the human energy field promoting health, balance, and relaxation. Energy therapy is based on the concept of connection between the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual realms of our lives found in many holistic healing methods. It uses focused healing energy to clear blocks that accumulate in the body hindering the natural flow of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy. The healing focus promotes personal empowerment, self-healing, and spiritual growth.
Guided Imagery
Guided imagery is a healing discipline which is powerful and effective by itself, or is easily integrated with other techniques. Imagery enhances one's healing response to many health-related conditions, imbalances, or dis-eases. One may engage in personal imagery or be guided by a therapist (guided imagery).
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy applies focused concentration, which facilitates an altered, yet natural, state of awareness to enhance healing. This state is similar to pre-sleep or pre-awakening, focusing on an engrossing book, or listening to favorite music. Hypnotherapy circumvents conscious barriers to gain access to one's subconscious processes, though his or her conscious mind is always present and aware, watching, and able to respond as appropriate.
Massage
A hands-on therapy in which essential oils are applied to the body for emotional and physical benefits.
Meditation
Meditation is a method of quieting the mind to center in a state of peace which is at the core of one's being. To enter a meditative state, one chooses a single point of attention upon which to focus. The most common focal point is one's breath. Other practices include – but are not limited to – focusing on a single image (such as a candle flame or a mandala), repeating a mantra or tone, or performing a repetitive activity which frees the mind (such as walking, washing dishes, dusting, etc.)
Reiki
Reiki is a method of sharing focused energy, usually by gentle touch, to promote and enhance both physical and emotional healing. It also invites us to reclaim peace, balance, and vitality. In fact, the word REIKI means "spiritually-guided or universal life force energy.
Yoga
Yoga is an ancient Indian body of knowledge that dates back more than 500 years. The word "Yoga" came from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means "to unite or integrate." Yoga then is about the union of a person's own consciousness and the universal consciousness.
Ancient Yogis had a belief that in order for man to be in harmony with himself and his environment, he has to integrate the body, the mind, and the spirit. For these three to be integrated, emotion, action, and intelligence must be in balance. The Yogis formulated a way to achieve and maintain this balance and it is done through meditation,exercise and breath.
Breathing techniques were developed based on the concept that breath is the source of life. In Yoga, students gain breathing control as they slowly increase their breathing. By focusing on their breathing, they prepare their minds for the next step
