Art Therapy is a blended field of therapeutic practice that combines art and psychology, by utilizing the creative process, artistic techniques and external artwork to support individuals and groups, to develop self-awareness, explore emotions, connect to others, heal and increase sense of calm.

Option 3: Power of Connection

Julie Frumin, Life Balance Counselor, LMFT, M.S. Clinical Psychology

This session is centered around the connection of our mind and body, our connection to self and our connections to others. Julie helps to explore these three crucial connections with the goal of better shaping our lives and overall state of wellbeing. You will come away with practical applications to incorporate in your daily life!

Option 4: Sound Bath

Gary Shiaman

In our reiki-infused crystal bowl sound healing sessions, a wide variety of sacred ancient healing percussion instruments are used to create a relaxing and restorative sound experience. This deeply relaxing treatment uses sound waves at different frequencies to reduce stress and anxiety, decrease tension and fatigue, improve sleep and calm your body and mind. In this private session, you’ll wear comfortable clothes and lie still on meditation mats while sounds are played around you.
