Chromotherapy (Color Therapy)

I am currently studying Chromotherapy and integrating it into my practice. Color Therapy is a non invasive therapy that makes use of the healing energy contained within the visible rays of color. This form of therapy is thousands of years old and is experiencing a resurgence among Holistic professionals as well as Holistic Interior Designers and Feng Shui practitioners. Please see my website for further information.

Shamanic Healer and Full Mesa Carrier

I was so impressed with the energy work I learned that I chose to continue with my education in Shamanic Energy Work. I studied with a Master Shaman for a year and was trained in the tradition of the Q'uero Shamans of the Peruvian Andes as taught by the" Four Winds Society". The Four Winds Society offers the worlds most through training in the philosophy and practice of Shamanic Energy Medicine , combining ancient wisdom with cutting edge neuroscience. I am really fascinated by energy work in combination with traditional body work in the treatment of chronic illness and pain. I myself have experienced very powerful results when receiving this work and and when combined with massage it helps to facilitate healing on a much deeper level.
