Massage Therapy - I believe the best way to help a person
de-stress is not by beating up on their muscles. My style is slow and
relaxing. I employ Swedish massage strokes along with holding troubled
areas allowing the body to respond to the warmth that emanates from my
hands and heart. I also employ long strokes from shoulders to feet to
help the client feel their body is not divided into segments, but is a
single entity working with mind and spirit.
Hot Stone Massage - Enjoy the warmth and heat of smooth lava rocks that will penetrate your tense muscles allowing you to relax and let go. The massage includes using the stones as massage tools to work a little deeper on the areas that need a little extra attention.
Healing Touch Therapy - This therapy was founded in 1989 by nurse practitioner, Janet Mentgen as a continuing ed course for nurses and other health care professionals. It is done with the client clothed, using light touch from feet to head. It is used in hospital settings, private practice, hospice care and in spas. It can: reduce stress, calm anxiety, soothe depression, strengthen the immune system, aid in recovery from surgery, ease acute chronic conditions, and helps to a create a feeling of well being. I have been doing this work for 25 years.
Cancer Life Coach - Thirteen years ago my son was diagnosed with bone cancer and then later on Leukemia. I came into this role by being a parent with a child with cancer. In the course of his 20-year life he has had cancer five times. I'm happy to say, he has been in remission from both cancers for five years! I've helped numerous people deal with questions about diet and exercise, and side effects from chemo and radiation. I've also helped clients make sense of their doctors reports as well as helping them formulate the right questions to ask their physicians to get a the most information possible.
Spiritual Coaching - I have always been a good listener. When my clients come to me, I listen to them beyond their words and mirror back to them what's in their hearts. I also employ Emotional Freedom Technique, which is based on acupressure points and a personal mantra in order to come into spiritual harmony with one's self.
Retreat Center- The Yurt is a great place to hold a workshop or as a venue for any group of people who want to get away to the country within a half hour's driving distance from Huntsville. The Yurt can comfortably hold up to 20 people. A kitchen area (including a microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator) are there to use. The Yurt has an indoor bathroom as well. It is air-conditioned and heated.
Overnight Rental of the Yurt and Grounds - The Yurt sits on five acres
tucked away in a wooded setting. It has a comfortable pull-out sofa to
sleep on and all the amenities you would find in a small cabin. The
organic vegetable and flower garden is there to be walked, as well as the
11-circuit labyrinth. There is a CD player to listen to music, but the
sound of the frogs singing is much sweeter.
Overnight Massage Package - Rent the Yurt and include a massage with your stay.
Children's Nature Workshop - The Yurt garden hosts "Hands-On Discovery," a two-hour outdoor nature class taught by local science teachers once a month. We study butterflies, local fauna and flora, learn to use keys to identify what we are looking at, learn songs about nature, play games and instill a love and connection to nature with your children. A healthy snack is always provided. For ages 4 to 11.
Kid's Yoga - This is a new program offered at the Yurt to children 4 to 11 teaching them the basic positions based on the popular video by Chaz called "Yoga for the Kid in All of Us."
Eleven-Circuit Labyrinth - The Yurt hosts a free labyrinth for anyone who wants to walk it.
Organic Gardening Workshops - This September the Yurt Garden will be offering workshops for adults and children on growing an organic fall garden. It will go into the soil requirements, best plants for our area and how to deal with bugs and other critters in the garden.
