BODYMIND PATTERNS
BodyMind Patterns identify lifelong defensive and often unconscious behavioral, emotional, and physical responses in the musculoskeletal system that serve as protection from trauma.
When a person feels overwhelmed, out of control, and threatened in a life experience or series of experiences, the patterns become integrated with our persona as well as our posture. Once the unconscious reactions occurring in the body are connected to the mind, then the connection to past trauma becomes conscious. This intersection is where healing occurs.
Trauma posture is a defensive pattern in the body that is linked to the Survival BodyMind Patterns. Trauma posture limits the body's range of motion and emotion. To stay in a protective fetal position or trauma posture you are closing yourself off to intimacy, connection, and limiting your emotions to protection—fear, anger, and sadness as opposed to opening to joy, love, connection and intimacy. This can be observed in the Wounded Child Survival Pattern and Posture. The BodyMind Pattern Deck guides us through these patterns to bring what is currently unconscious movement and behavior to the consciousness.

By determining your archetypes that are most active in your psyche it will help lead you to achieve greater insights into your life. We all have survival archetypes. They're the energy guides within our bodies that, combined with our personal nature and nurture, help to develop and power us in to who we are.
Archetypes are psychological patterns derived from historical roles in life, and even though they are historical and universal, they become personal when they are part of your own psyche. Our biography becomes our biology. Identifying your individual archetypes can be a challenge as you evaluate and analyze your experiences and relationships, but the payoff is invaluable. We're here to help you do that.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch to the skull, spine and pelvis, practitioners release restrictions and blockages to improve the body's natural rhythm and restore vibrant health to the central nervous system. The treatment will leave you feeling relaxed and connected.
CST is used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease. It is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, such as headaches/migraines, chronic neck & back pain, chronic fatigue and many others.
PRANIC HEALING

The no-touch healing technique is based on the fundamental principles that the body is a self-repairing living entity that possesses the ability to heal itself by using natural elements to address physical and emotional imbalances. The treatment will leave you feeling cleansed and centered.
