Acupuncture with emily coles, L.Ac., ryt-200
|
As a life-long seeker of balance, peace, and natural health, Emily spent her younger years wondering how to create a life around these core concepts. After receiving undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Spanish, she soon realized that her true calling was to holistic health. She decided to pursue a master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and, after completing more than 2000 hours of training, became a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.) in 2014. As her business grew, so did her desire to expand her grasp of the body-mind-spirit connection. In an effort to deepen her knowledge of ancient practices, in 2018 she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (RYT-200). In her personal life and in her practice, Emily humbly and joyfully works to combine her understanding of TCM with the rich history of yoga to help people find holistic healing and harmony in their lives. Emily is the owner of Shen Root Acupuncture in Zionsville, Indiana. She sees people for a wide variety of conditions ranging from women's health, digestive disorders, insomnia, and pain, to stress, anxiety, and depression (from daily life stressors to more deeply rooted emotional traumas and PTSD). She believes we all have the innate ability to heal with ongoing maintenance and loving support. It is an honor for Emily to play a role in assisting people on this all-important life journey. 30 minute session focused on stress relief: $55 60 minute personalized session: $100 |

Reiki and thai massage with danielle wolter nolan
|
Growing up in the country, being outdoors was always second nature to Danielle. Living in the fast-paced digital age of today, she realized that there was a need for more people to unplug from technology and reconnect with themselves in nature. This was one of the many reasons why she and her wife founded DNK Presents and the non-profit Live Adventurously. Together they have organized and guided hundreds of people on adventures in and outside of the United States. Through her healing business, Soulful Trail, she combines Yoga, Thai Massage, Reiki and Nature Immersion experiences to help people build confidence and empowerment through the great outdoors.
Thai massage is an Eastern form of massage that uses gentle pressure, stretching and rocking techniques to relax, deepen and rejuvenate the whole body. Thai massage dates back 2,500-7,000 years ago and is what the Buddah used as a form of healing. There are many health benefits of Thai massage such as reduction of stress, energy boost, stimulates circulation, improves range of motion, and more. People who have a Thai massage are a more active participant in the massage and are fully clothed and lie back on a traditional Thai mat. Reiki is a form of healing through gentle touch and powerful breathwork generated through energetic fields in the body. Reiki can be used for physical, mental or emotional health and wellness as well as improved meditation and mindfulness practices. People feel relaxed, calm and revitalized after a Reiki session. 30 minute session focused on stress relief: $55 60 minute personalized session: $100 |
