Ayurvedic Consultation
Ayurvedic consultations determine a person's unique constitution. Through this consultation the nature of a person and any imbalances are identified. The Clinical Ayurvedic Practitioner (CAP) Intern puts together a treatment program that not only includes foods and herbs but also aromas, colors, massage, detoxification, yoga, and meditation - all aimed at restoring or maintaining balance.

Initial Consultation: $125
In the initial visit you will meet with the Clinical Ayurvedic Practitioner. Through an in-depth evaluation of your health and lifestyle practices, your CAP intern will develop an understanding of your unique constitution and the root causes of any imbalances and challenges. Based on this information, your CAP intern will design a program using five sense treatments, including diet, herbs, mantras, music and other therapeutic lifestyle changes. The final portion of your consultation includes a report of findings and may be scheduled on a separate day. A full consultation may take up to two hours.

Follow Up Visits: $60
During these visits your CAP intern will continue to implement your treatment program, monitor your progress, and check in with you about how you are feeling. They will then make changes or additions to the program that are necessary to help you reach your goals. This may include aromatherapy, color therapy, or mantra therapy. Perhaps most important, your CAP intern is there to support you on your journey! Follow up visits are recommended every 3-6 weeks to track your progress as needed.

Clear Ancient Stone Healing
Ancient Stone healing is powerful Earth medicine. It corresponds with the male and female energetic body. By using heated male fire energy Basaltic stones, and female water energy cool Marble rock, creates balance between both polarities in the body. The client is fully clothed and lays on the stones, the practioner then applies Reiki energy to the body. This is a powerful healing tool that works the energetic body in a different way, and used with the stones can create powerful healing.

What will I feel?
It is important to note that everyone has their own experience when experiencing the stones. Some people have a profound sense of calm relaxation, while others have noted spiritual experiences or have seen colors or visualizations. It is best to not have expectations, as the mind will be in expectation. The best thing to do is lay back and relax with an open mind and heart!

1 hour, $45.00

To make an appointment please contact Catherine Zehner, CYT, RYT, Ancient Stone Practioner : (920)886-7543, or email: catherine@sanctuary-yoga.com

Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga Massage is a part of the traditional healing system of Thailand. Practiced by Buddhist monks for the last 2500 years, it was first introduced in the United States in 1990. Its ancient origins are linked to Yoga, Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine.  Thai Yoga Massage is an expression of “metta”, compassion towards oneself and others. Thai Yoga Massage is a combination of gentle rocking, range of motion, passive stretching and gentle pressure along energy lines or “sen lines”. Joints are loosened and opened through manipulation and peripheral stimulation, muscles are stretched, internal organs are toned, vitality is increased and a deep state of relaxation can be achieved. Nothing like western massage therapy, it is often referred to as "lazy man's yoga." Thai Yoga Massage is performed on a mat while the client is in comfortable clothing.

Thai Yoga Massage is traditionally done in 1.5 hour sessions, but a well-rounded session can be done in as little as 1 hour.

Benefits:

  • Stress and pain relief
  • Better resistance to injury
  • Release of lactic acid and other toxins from areas of accumulation
  • Deep relaxation and revitalization
  • Brings harmony to the mind, body, and spirit
  • Creates space within the joints, allowing freedom of movement and greater range of motion
  • Energizes, yet calms the whole person
  • Promotes circulation, oxygenating and moving the blood
  • Stimulates the internal organs, improving digestion, elimination and well-being

Shamanic Energywork
Healing sessions are based on shamanism, an ancient knowledge that all illness has a spiritual foundation. In shamanism all things have spirit and all things are connected. Healing occurs when power and balance are restored on the spiritual level. Once spiritual healing occurs, healing can take place on the physical level. In a shamanic healing session, the shamanic practitioner contacts helping spirits and spiritual teachers and brings back information that the client needs for healing and personal transformation.

What will I feel?
Each session is unique and different because it is geared to the individual’s specific needs. Shamanic healing modalities include power animal retrieval, soul retrieval, and extraction/energy balancing.

The following is a brief explanation of these services:
Soul Retrieval - When trauma occurs, a part of the soul leaves in order for one
to survive. Once the missing soul part is regained, a sense of wholeness and
connection occur.
Power Animal Retrieval - When you reconnect with your power animal, you will discover the unique characteristics and guidance it can provide for you.
Extraction/Energy Balancing - Misplaced energies are usually the result of emotions that attach to the body. Since these misplaced energies cause illness, they are extracted from the body and the energy field is then balanced through the use of sound, feather movement, water, rocks or crystals.

A healing session includes at least one of the above services. Massages for spiritual guidance may also be included in the session. The session usually begins with a brief discussion of the client’s concerns. Wendy then calls in the spirits and journeys for the client while listening to a drumming CD. While she is journeying, the client lies on the massage table, fully clothed. Wendy then proceeds as directed by spirit to do the energywork.

The cost of a shamanic energywork session is $45.00.
Call Wendy at 920-205-2207 for more information or to schedule a sesson.

Quantum Energetics™
Quantum Energetics™ is a highly organized system of energy healing. It is a powerful modality that appears to trigger the body's innate healing ability, by working with the body's energetic forces. QE™ Practitioners believe that the basic foundational steps of QE allow more energy to enter and flow through the body for healing and sustenance. Disrupted energy patterns of the energy body are assisted in regaining their force-a "recharging" that allows the return or emergence of health. QE focuses on working with the foundational and energetic causes, which underlie problems rather than masking symptoms. Many appreciate QE's gentle holistic approach.

Each person is different, and Quantum Energetics practitioners are careful to make no claims or promises. However it is exciting to know that for more 25 years, QE™ clients have experienced positive, powerful improvement with diverse problems, including:

head injuries, learning disabilities, structural / sports injuries
whiplash, lower back pain and sciatica
carpal tunnel syndrome, knee pain, improved immune response,
colic and failure to thrive in babies, hyperactivity and ADD, fatigue
metabolic disorders and syndromes, affecting: circulatory, lymphatic
respiratory, digestive, endocrine, reproductive systems
various toxic reactions
alleviation of pain associated with injuries and cancer
heightened sense of well-being,
increased clarity of thinking, and
identification of problems in their incipient stages,
to name a few.

QE emphasizes overall health improvement, which results from the progressive nature of the work. Dramatic results are not uncommon with infants, people in comas, and animals, and while a positive belief system is always helpful, it is not essential for QE to be beneficial-provided there is a willingness to receive care.
