Pilates

Pilates is an innovative and complete mind-body, resistance-based workout using both your own body’s resistance and external resistance in the form of the Pilates equipment, balls, and light weights.

Pilates focuses on your core mind-body connection of breath to movement. We work with slower, more conscious resistance-based movement, focusing on form and working the muscles in proper posture and neutral spine alignment, to strengthen your core, improve your flexibility, posture, and balance, and help prevent and relieve pain symptoms.

Don’t be frightened by the medieval-torture-looking equipment! We swear it’s good for you.

Biofield Tuning, Remote or In-Office (45-60 min) 150

A gentle and non-invasive modality that uses sound and vibration to remove congestion in the body, both physically and energetically. Sound is an ancient healing medium and when used on the body it interupts patterns of tension in the body. When used in the energy field or aura it can alleviate and in some cases erradicate emotional symptoms. Our energy field surrounds and permeates our bodies - it is inextricably connected with our conscious and subconscious mind, including all of our memories. When trauma or unprocessed emotions get "stuck" in our energy field it disrupts our electrical flow of our bodies which in turn manifests in physical and emotional ways. Using sound and vibration allows the body to hear the dissonance or stuck area and the body is able to autotune, processing that area of congestion and brings the energy back into the midline where it should be. Using this sound therapy method provides targeted nervous system relaxation which can alleviate a wide range of health issues. This process is done by using a variety of tuning forks that are weighted and unweighted as well as crystals. Crystals translate the sound current into amplified pulses making the tone clearer, brighter and faster, which adds efficiency to the tuning process. Crystals also allow electricity, blood and lymph to flow more freely. This is done by stimulating Nitric Oxide (NO) which is a gas that causes muscles to relax and blood vessels to dilate creating more beneficial circulation.
Crystal Healing, Remote or In-Office (45-60 min) $150

Crystal Healing – the art of laying on of stones has been around since ancient times. This gentle, non-invasive energy work re-balances your chakras (energy pathways) and promotes healing in the body. Crystals vibrate at different levels depending on their composition and color. Using the crystals own resonance specific and appropriate crystals are placed in each coordinating chakra to balance and harmonize, clearing out any negativity and allowing them to function at peak capacity. Dr. Betty’s intuitive crystal healing session is in the style of Hibiscus Moon Academy. Through guided visualization we work together to bring your chakras into balance. The result is a relaxing and gentle way to work on stagnant energy and move you into resonance. Remember a balanced body is a happy body and that includes the physical, etheric, astral, mental, spiritual and emotional bodies.
