Cuddle Therapy Session
Cuddle therapy, or platonic touch therapy, combines safe touch and compassionate talk. This allows your nervous system to reset, easing connection with yourself and the people in your life.
Benefits include: lower blood pressure, improved immunity, accelerated injury healing, improved sleep quality, and decreased anxiety and depression, this healing modality is beneficial to people across all walks and stages of life. (Clients must be 18 years or older).
Optional: when combined with talk therapy or other healing modalities, it helps to cultivate secure attachment and supports trauma release.
Each session is tailored to your unique needs, and you can start with one of the following as the foundation (customizable):
* The Self-Care Session - an emphasis on touch (as much, or as little, as you are comfortable with); nervous system relaxation; connecting with and appreciating our body and all it does for us
* The Personal Growth & Development Session - a blend of cuddle/touch therapy and talk, with the discussion focusing on inner growth or self-development, practice of setting boundaries and healthy expression of needs and desires
* The Trauma Processing Session - a trauma-informed approach to healing, ideally for those also doing talk therapy, CBT, EMDR, etc.; here, we’ll mindfully and intentionally delve into creating safety in the body, and exploring inner child connection, rebuilding trust in the self, and trust in the world.

Reiki Therapy Session
Reiki therapy (a Japanese term meaning “universal (Rei) energy (ki)”) is a spiritual energy practice originating in Japan.
It is described as a deeply relaxing, effortlessly meditative experience. It places the mind and body into a state of restful alertness. I will serve as a channel or vessel, simply allowing the energy to flow wherever your body needs it most.
This therapy can be administered with either gentle touch or no touch, based on your preference! It is also available virtually (yes, really!)
Regular Reiki therapy recipients report positive effects immediately following and in the days after their session, including: improved sleep quality, pain management, improved mood, decreased anxiety about daily stressors, a release of stuck emotions, nervous system calibration, and a deep sense of inner peace. (Effects are amplified with ongoing sessions).
Each session is tailored to your unique needs, and will incorporate the following:
* An introductory conversation in which you can share what you are working to release, or any bodily discomfort or pain, so I can send the energy with more direction. I’ll review my typical hand positions, and we’ll go over the various options for the session. We’ll end with a brief grounding meditation to help you leave the day’s rush behind. (appx 15 minutes)
* The Reiki send - this portion will incorporate burning of sage and palo santo, as well as other aromatherapies to help you be centered (as desired). You will be provided with, or you may bring, an eye cover, and you’re welcome to bring blankets and pillows for your own comfort! These will also be available for your comfort. (30 minutes or longer)
* The post-therapy recap - this is a time for your body to slowly come out of the deep relaxation mode of the session, and we’ll discuss any insights that came through during the session. We’ll also review post-session considerations. (appx 15 minutes)
