Reiki
Reiki is an ancient “laying-on-of-hands” healing art form practiced by Tibetan monks thousands of years ago. Used in their meditation practice to raise cons.container ciousness, purify thoughts, and to balance energies. Discovered in 1870 by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese philosopher who wanted to acquire the ability to heal the body of all illness, seen and unseen. He studied the monks to contain and memorize the Reiki discipline, and then began to teach it. From here, it was passed down orally through generations of students, landing in the United States with Japanese-Hawaiin Reiki Master, Hawayo Takata, in the 1930s.
The benefits of Reiki healing are vast, to name a few: relieves pain and discomfort, reduces stress and anxiety, awakens intuition and self-awareness, relieves depression, strengthens self-esteem, increases blood flow and circulation, strengthens immune system, releases toxins, promotes relaxation, improves sleep, clears blockages and suppressed emotions.
As a dedicated Reiki practitioner, Kirsten integrates her deep understanding of energy healing with her holistic approach to wellness. In her sessions, she begins by clearing the auric field, or biofield, using the gentle yet powerful techniques of Reiki therapy. This process helps to release stagnant energy and restore balance across the mind, body, and spirit. To further enhance the healing experience, Kirsten often incorporates her intuitive guidance, helping to identify and clear emotional blockages and unresolved energies. This comprehensive approach allows clients to experience a profound transformation on every plane—mental, spiritual, and physical—promoting deep relaxation and lasting well-being.
Sound Bowl Therapy
Sound Bowl Therapy is an ancient healing practice that dates back thousands of years, rooted in the traditions of Tibetan monks and Himalayan cultures. These sacred sound bowls were originally used in meditation practices to elevate consciousness, cleanse the mind, and harmonize the body’s energies. The resonance produced by these bowls is believed to have profound healing effects on the mind, body, and spirit, creating a deep sense of relaxation and balance. Though the exact origins of Sound Bowl Therapy are shrouded in mystery, it has been passed down through generations, evolving into a powerful tool for holistic healing across the world.
The benefits of Sound Bowl Therapy are extensive, offering a holistic approach to well-being that addresses both physical and emotional health. The soothing vibrations help to alleviate pain and discomfort, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote a deep state of relaxation. This therapy is also known to enhance mental clarity, awaken intuition, and foster a greater sense of self-awareness. Regular sessions can improve sleep quality, boost the immune system, and support the release of emotional blockages and toxins. Sound Bowl Therapy is not just a healing practice; it's a journey into inner peace and harmony, guiding you toward a more balanced and fulfilled life.
In her sound healing sessions, Kirsten harmonizes the ancient practice of Sound Bowl Therapy with her intuitive energy work. She begins by using the resonant frequencies of crystal bowls to cleanse the auric field, or biofield, gently shifting stagnant energies and restoring vibrational balance. As the soothing tones permeate the body, they help to release emotional and energetic blockages, facilitating deep relaxation and healing. Kirsten’s approach allows clients to experience a multi-dimensional transformation, as the sound waves resonate on mental, spiritual, and physical levels, creating a profound sense of harmony and well-being.
Acupressure
Acupressure is an ancient healing technique that has been practiced for thousands of years, deeply rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This non-invasive therapy involves applying gentle pressure to specific points on the body, known as acupoints, to stimulate the flow of Qi, or life energy. The ancient Chinese believed that maintaining the smooth flow of Qi was essential for health and well-being. Acupressure was developed as part of a broader system of healing that also included acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary therapy. Over the centuries, it has been refined and passed down through generations, becoming a trusted and widely practiced method of holistic healing around the world.
Acupressure offers a wide range of benefits that support both physical and emotional health. This practice is known for its ability to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation by enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. Acupressure is also effective in alleviating stress, anxiety, and symptoms of chronic conditions such as headaches, insomnia, and digestive issues. By gently stimulating acupoints, this technique can help to restore balance, boost the immune system, and release emotional blockages. Whether you’re looking for relief from a specific ailment or seeking to improve your overall well-being, acupressure provides a time-honored approach to achieving harmony in your mind, body, and spirit.
As an acupuncture student, Kirsten integrates her newfound knowledge of the meridians and acupuncture points into her energy work. Clearing the auric field (or biofield) with Reiki therapy and then utilizing gentle acupressure to clear the emotions and energies out of the organ systems. Enjoy the transformation of energies on every plane- mental, spiritual and physical.
Body Movement Coaching
Body Movement Coaching is a holistic practice that draws on ancient wisdom and modern techniques to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Rooted in the understanding that the body holds onto experiences and emotions, this practice encourages the release of tension and blockages through mindful movement. The origins of this approach can be traced back to various indigenous and Eastern practices that used dance and movement as a form of healing and spiritual expression. Over time, these practices have evolved, blending with modern somatic therapies to create a powerful method of reconnecting with the body and unlocking its innate potential for self-healing.
