AROMATHERAPY & MODERN APOTHECARY

Plant-based medicine, herbs and essential oils are ofetn categorized as “alternative” but they are actually the foundation of modern medicine and a more natural way of supporting and healing the body & mind.

Essential oils are one of the most potent forms of botanical medicine and have the highest vibrational frequency than any living thing. Essential oils are the life blood of the herbs, flowers and leaves from which they are extracted. Unlike other forms of plant-based medicine, essential oils have the power to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. In this class we will learn how essential oils can support your sleep, digestion, relaxation, and so much more.

MAPPING YOUR EMOTIONS

The body inherently wants to heal. By making us aware of its pain, it forces us to take a personal inventory of our emotions so we can identify the root cause.

During this interactive session, we will learn to bring awareness to our emotions and how they manifest in physical ways. When we ignore our bodies, the physical problem may escalate until we are forced to look at what is causing us pain—and oftentimes, it all comes down to stored emotion.

This buildup of stress can weaken the immune system over time, leaving the body vulnerable to viruses, infection, and disease. By setting boundaries and letting go of what’s parasitic in your life, you can restore the healthy balance of your body and expel unwanted negative energy.

BREATHWORK & SOUND BATH

Approximately 70% of the toxins in our body are released through the breath.

Breathing deeply and intentionally supports both the strength of our immune system and respiratory function. Very simply put: breath equals life.

Breathwork is a modality that employs high-vibrational energy, created by the breath, for deep resolution of body, feelings, mind, and spirit. Although our bodies breathe automatically, there is power and transformation behind the intention and awareness of the breath.

We can live for up to 40 days without food, survive for up to 3 days without water, but only moments without the breath. Breathwork is an opportunity to tap into your life-force, shift the lens in which you view your life, and very intentionally fill you body with the vital fuel it needs to survive and function at it's most optimal state.

We will close the Breathwork session with a virtual sound bath, using crytal bowls and chimes to realign, refocus, and recenter our vibrational frequency.
