| SERVICES Ayurveda - ‘the science of life’ Ayurveda is the world’s oldest system of holistic medicine. Recognized by the World Health Organization as a complete natural health care system, Ayurveda emphasizes the prevention of disease along with the promotion of health and longevity. Unlike the Western medical model, which tends to compartmentalize various aspects of health, Ayurveda views the mind and body as intimately interrelated parts of the whole person, equally responsible for the achievement of health or the development of disease. Based on the “constitutional” model of medicine, Ayurveda recognizes the unique mind/body constitution of each individual. Through seasonal routines, yoga postures, correct mind/body diet, herbs and specific bodywork treatments, Ayurveda restores the innate healing power of the individual constitution. Regular and consistent Ayurvedic treatment can become an important aspect of preventative health as well as alleviate existing challenges. Remember Your Own True Nature. Head Massage and Facial Rejuvenation This therapeutic and energizing treatment draws on the ancient wisdom of the Tibetan and Indian Ayurvedic systems. The treatment works locally and reflexively; locally to improve the skin and uplift the face, and reflexively to relax and nourish the entire nervous system. Work is concentrated on the face, head, scalp, ears, neck, and shoulders by stimulating marma points (vital energy points) and re-directing subtle energies thus relieving stiffness throughout the entire body. 100% natural Giving Ayurveda oils, herbal pastes and facial mists are used to nourish and cleanse tissues as well as maintain the tone and elasticity of all skin layers. 1 hour - $70 Neck and Shoulder Treatment Experience relief from tension and pain with a combination of Ayurvedic massage and acupressure. An excellent antidote for long hours on the computer! 1/2 hour - $40 1 hour - $70 Ayurvedic Foot and/or Hand Reflexology The hands and feet are a reflection in microcosm of all the organs and structures in the body. Expert stimulation of the hands and feet cleanses, balances and invigorates all of those organs. The gentle stroking and kneading of acupressure points and energy meridians work to release toxins from the organs. A vitalizing and relaxing treatment. 1/2 hour - $40 1 hour - $70 Stephanie uses warmed Ayurvedic medicinal oils to enhance the therapeutic effects of your treatment. Medicinal herbal oils work primarily on the skin, blood, muscle, connective tissue, lungs, and colon by enhancing the metabolic process of these tissues. Herbal oils deeply lubricate and nourish the skin. They cleanse and enrich the blood. They help to build and maintain muscle and connective tissue while lubricating the joints. Herbal oils enhance the energy of the lung and colon, which in turn help to keep the skin fresh and lustrous. Vata oil is warming and calming Pitta oil is cooling and soothing Kapha oil is warming and stimulating Tridoshic oil is balancing to all Rasayana oil is formulated especially for the face Mahanarayan oil for pain, stiffness and inflammation Shirodhara A profoundly relaxing treatment in which warm herbalized oil is gently poured in a fine stream over the third eye and forehead to soothe and calm the entire nervous system. Classically it was used for cases of pain & stress particularly, but not exclusively, in the face, head, neck, and shoulders. Stimulation to the ‘third eye’ area affects deep centers in the brain that release brain chemicals such as serotonin, a chemical that gives us the feeling of pleasure and relaxation. Shirodhara has traditionally been shown to nourish the hair and scalp, help with fatigue, mental exhaustion, insomnia, headaches, release stress and tension, and synchronize the brain waves. 1 hour - $95 Head and Facial Rejuvenation/Shirodhara A Head and Facial Rejuvenation Massage (see description) followed by a soothing Shirodhara treatment 80 minutes - $135 *To get the most benefit from your bodywork session: Wear loose and comfortable clothing. You may want to wear an old t-shirt or sweatshirt as it may acquire some oil during treatment. Please eat lightly, remove jewelry and make-up, and use the restroom prior to your session. Cancellation Policy: You may cancel or reschedule your appointment without being charged within 24 hours of your appointment time. Otherwise full session rate will be charged.

Ayurvedic Consultations An Ayurvedic consultation involves identifying your mind/body type through pulse diagnosis, observation and questioning. Daily routines, dietary suggestions and lifestyle changes are then recommended to create balance and a state of well-being. 1 1/2 hours - $80 (initial visit) 1 hour - $70 1/2 hour - $40 EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques Based on the ancient principles of Ayurveda and Acupuncture, EFT is a simple tapping procedure that gently realigns the body’s energy system, without the use of needles. Unlike other healing methods, EFT incorporates an emotional element to the healing process, addressing unresolved emotional issues as a likely cause of physical disease, psychological dysfunction, and personal performance limits. Negative emotional experiences disrupt the energy meridians that run through our body. The physical changes we feel from those disruptions, like nausea or anxiety, become attached to the memory of that experience and affect the way we see the world until we heal that disruption. Properly applied, EFT quickly realigns the energy meridians with respect to negative memories, disconnects the physical discomfort that we attached to it, and quite often removes the resulting symptoms. “Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools…as it is for me.” Eric Robins, MD What is EFT used for? EFT has been used successfully for so many things that it’s impossible to list them all! The following are some common issues that can be addressed with EFT: Anxiety Fear Negative self-image Pain Grief Phobias Illness and the emotions around it Performance anxiety Learning difficulties Fear of change Performance enhancement Creative blocks And much, much more. Initial Session - 1.5 hours = $110.00 Following Sessions - 1 hour = $75.00 Package of 3 = $210.00 (Phone Sessions add $5) Stephanie is happy to offer a free 15-minute consult to discuss your concerns and answer your questions. *Important Note: While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage and thus clients must take complete responsibility for their use of it. Further, Stephanie Slater is not a licensed health professional and offers EFT and other methodologies as an Ayurvedic practitioner and personal performance coach. |
