"INNER SANCTUARY":
Shirodhara is a five-thousand year old tradition from East India. Ayruvedic Medicine is the oldest medical system in the world! As are these Sanskrit words—the oldest language in the world. The terms are very beautiful. Once you have had warm sesame oil drizzling slowly over your forehead from a copper vessel, you will be back for more! Sandalwood essential oil is anointed on your forehead just before the warm sesame oil starts to release. (Notice if you can still smell it on your forehead when your treatment is done!) This is a guaranteed stress-release tool. People experience visions and colors, along with a profound sense of deep relaxation. This treatment which we normally use in our “Signature Package” has become so popular that we were asked to have it on its own, as a shorter version! Make sure that you have nothing else scheduled after this session because you will want to go home and completely relax. A bottle of your ‘sacred sesame oil’ is given to you to take home to use as a ‘reminder of your experience’ and acts as a delightful hair & body moisturizer. This is a therapy to use when you are in deep contemplation or for a seasonal spiritual renewal.

Shirodhara, Bottle of Sesame Oil, 30 Minutes--$60.00

"ANOINTING OILS OF THE BIBLE":
There are over 1,035 references to Biblical applications of essential oils. Fourteen of these are considered the 'Principle Oils of Ancient Scripture'. We anoint the body in strategic places to help lift your soul to a higher realm. We use a 4% dilution, some GC/MS essential oils.

By itself or as an add-on: $30.00 (Includes the bottle)

"RAINDROP TECHNIQUE":

"Ancient' oils are placed on what is thought to be Egyptian and Tibetan inspired locations of the body. We use a 2% dilution with some 16 GC/MS essential oils--so you are getting the very best in oils to bring visions of centeredness and connectedness to all of life.

60 Minutes--$60.00

REFLEXOLOGY:
A foot therapy designed in China 5,000 years ago. It was introduced in the West in 1913 by an American doctor, William Fitzgerald. He divided the body into ten zones which extend from the toes up through the body and down into the hands. Reflexologists apply pressure to certain parts of the feet to release blockages in the body. Nurses/health professionals in the U.S. are now training in reflexology to enhance their practice.
Foot Reflexology, 15 Minutes--$15.00
Foot Reflexology, 30 Minutes--$30.00

“SYNERGY”:
Here’s a new field for Elizabeth City. We have a computer program that formulates exotic essential oil blends that we call “Synergys” that lift your spirits and emotions. We can blend from over 168 essential oils right at our Aromatherapy Blending Bar to use in your massage or day spa package. Arrive an extra half hour before your appointment, fill-out a short questionnaire, and using a specific software program, we will then hand blend your very own synergy” for your spa experience! The area is raving about this service. It can’t get any more personal! These blends are so potent and concentrated. They really are effective for your body/mind/soul. Designed by some pretty awesome holistic aromatherapists! A MUST to experience! John and Wendy are accredited members of the National Association of Holistic Aromatherapists, too!

+ 90 Minute Massage Session--$125.00

HEALING TOUCH:
These techniques were designed by a holistic nurse, and are endorsed by the Holistic Nurses Association. It is a combination of healing modalities used throughout many decades and cultures. It is a very little, energetic-type healing that interfaces with our bodies own natural ability to heal. The healer mentally attunes to their calm center through prayer, and then aligns themselves with the client. Profound healings have occurred. Everyone feels relaxed, at peace, and as if something sacred has happened. This is fast becoming a spa favorite.

You may ask your therapist to add on a--

Healing Touch Initial Consult and Session, 2 Hours--$120.00

"MERGING STREAMS":

For those who want a first introduction to a European spa package this was custom-designed just for you. A natural exfoliate is used to slough off the top layer of skin, followed by warm towels to remove this.  Then a mud or seaweed application scented with essential oils remineralizes your skin, making the skin texture soft and silky! You are wrapped in a thermal blanket to cocooon these special ingrediants. A shower is taken and a final aromatic mositurizer completes this total body experience.

80 Minutes, Scrub, Body Wrap & Moisturizer $115.00

Give yourself 2.5 hours for this divine package! No rushing with this selection!  A full body wrap to help drive minerals into the skin for baby-skin softness afterwards,  wrapped in a thermal blanket to keep the body’s heat in.

"SACRED JOURNEY":
Seven sacred healing traditions may be used to restore the clients body/mind connection. Wendy has been healing bodies with her hands and heart for twenty-one years. She has found that she has special abilities, with the aide of God, to help heal her clients on a deeper, more profound and lasting level that goes beyond a basic massage.

Combining several traditional native and shamanistic practices from many cultures they has discovered a method that allows their clients to heal from the inside to the outside. "Soul Retrieval" looks at personal issues from a different perspective.

Wendy places her hands on the client and “reads” as a ‘medical intuitive’. She is able to ‘see’ stagnant areas of energy, as she scans the body both internally and externally. Sacred chants may be said out loud or silently to start shifting these areas. The use of sound or of music is so important in all of our cultures, and may be used in these sessions. Native American smudge sticks may be lit, and ‘waved’ ceremoniously around the body, or the room, or an object that a client has.

Colored stones that have been cleansed in moon-lit sea salt may be placed around or on the body, along with healing magnets to facilitate a deeper energetic transition. Wendy has studied ‘Clinical Aromatherapy’—essential oils are the use of healing flowers and plants. She will blend very body-specific oils and “anoint” the body in strategic places. Wendy will lay her healing hands on specific areas to help ‘soften these stagnant areas’. Sometimes she might massage one area. ‘Tuning Fork Therapy’,  and ‘Healing Touch’, may also be used.

Clients love the heat and energy that comes from her hands, the individualized love and compassion, and most importantly the profound peace that they haven't felt in years! Something special always happens in these sacred sessions!

Suggested seasonally. 60 Minutes $125.00
Please note: this is not a medical or diagnostic session. We do not claim to diagnose or heal medical issues; rather we work on an energetic, etheric level. A spiritual level, if you will.

May 2007 A client recently came in for a Sacred Journey.  Here is what she wrote: 

     "Thank you so much for helping me with my Sacred Journey.  I wrote down all of the images that came to me, as you suggested.  And, I continue to journal powerful images and thoughts. The special essential oil blend that you made for me smells wonderful, and it takes me right back to your purple room and remembering the special events that happened in there.  I am still feeling energized (three weeks later), and the pressure on my throat is completely gone!  Sunday, when I went to church, several people commented how clear and improved my voice was in speaking and in singing in the choir!  I feel very balanced, reconnected, and positive once again.  Thank you for opening and clearing my centers. I feel as is I have found a "sister" with you.  You are very special to me. Love, Jane C."

After I did Healing Touch and the Tuning Forks on Jane there was a definite shift in her body.  I believe that that was when God came through and helped to open her voice up.  Jane is a special person, whom I believe is on her way to become a Healer, her self!  Later she painted a picture for me with an angel and a banner that says--"The Healer of the Harbour", and presented this picture to me.  I had tears in my eyes, and I know that this heartfelt picture will stay with me the rest of my life.  Thank you God, and Thank you Jane.
