She will be offering 6 types of mind, body and spirit sessions for our guests who are seeking Wild Wellness at NIHI^®.

“It is my belief that we, as individuals, have an important soul function or life path to live. When that part of us isn’t honored or allowed to awaken, dis-ease in many forms can set in. Yoga, meditation, reflexology, reiki, reconnective healing, cranio-sacral therapy, access bars, inner child work, family constellation, past life regression and rebirthing breathwork can help that path become clear and awaken the courage to follow it.”
