Private Sessions

Immerse in personalized experiences with our extraordinary specialists

Whether you are coping with change or looking to make it, our broad private session offerings help you create balance and nurture wellbeing.

Sometimes you want the energy, support, and camaraderie of a group. For others, personal is preferable. Most of our activities are available as private sessions, which give you the opportunity to work one-on-one with our world-class specialists, who offer tools for navigating change, elevating health, processing grief, and more.

BALANCING THE BODY WITH POSITIONAL THERAPY

GUIDED GROUNDING PRIVATE

Harness the earth’s energy to balance body, mind, and spirit with an eco-ethically produced ground sheet and topical gel to enhance its effects. This is a great technique for alleviating pain, insomnia, inflammation, anxiety, or imbalance. The recommended daily allowance is 40 - 180 minutes.

INTEGRATING THE SELF

Explore the self’s various aspects and examine the sometimes scattered or elusive parts and partitions that keep us from feeling connected to ourselves and others. This personalized session offers space to address issues, concerns, or goals and identify tools and techniques for integration, attunement, and understanding.

This treatment regulates the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical harmony of the body using traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, as well as energy therapies to clear acupuncture meridians and physical restrictions. Experience the calming effects of the life force of Qi and feel more grounded and centered.

RELATIONSHIP TOOLKIT

We all need communication tools in our relationships, from newlyweds and friends to longtime partners, family, or co-workers. Learn how to make joint decisions, mitigate conflict, or understand each other better. Rather than debating fault, you can gain practical tools for addressing conflicting thoughts, emotions, or values.
