Hannah Campos

Zenthai Shiatsu

ZenThai Shiatsu is a fusion of Zen Shiatsu, Thai Massage and Osteopathic Techniques. It is a truly holistic practice, merging traditional eastern therapies with modern practices to promote deep relaxation and restoration.

A session with Hannah begins with a chat to create an aligned intention and a diagnosis utilizing traditional chinese medicine techniques. The bodywork is practiced fully clothed on a mat on the floor and engages both the structural systems of the body as well as the energetic (meridian) systems of the body. These sessions are holistic and support your whole person wellbeing, meaning that they can be useful if you have physical discomfort or pain, are experiencing other lifestyle difficulties like fatigue, digestive issues, and insomia among others, or simply want to relax and feel restored. Each session is tailored to meet your specific needs and support you in the best way possible.

60min: $120
90min: $150

 

About Hannah
Hannah is a ZenThai Shiatsu therapist, yoga teacher, co-owner of Gertrude Street Yoga with her husband Jaspah and mom to Neesa. Growing up with a mom who practiced shiatu massage and yoga, Hannah has always been interested in bodywork and appreciated the power of eastern healing modalities. She first pursued this interest through teaching yoga and continues to do so in yoga classes, trainings, and one on one sessions. Always curious to explore bodywork but never seeming to connect with the perfect modality, she fully resonated with the philosophy and techniques of ZenThai Shiatsu when she discovered it in 2017 and was inspired to complete their therapist program.

Carol Lewis

Holistic Aromatherapy

Carol focuses on nurturing every aspect of your being – the physical, the mental,
the emotional, and the spiritual. She creates a personalised essential oil blend just
for you. The aromatherapy massage is sequential using techniques that help stimulate the lymphatic system, regulate the autonomic nervous system, promotes circulation and release muscle tension.

It’s a gentle yet potent massage that synergises with the therapeutic essential oils.
To enhance your healing journey, Carol will also guide you through a breath meditation, creating a serene space for deep relaxation.

Your Experience Includes:

  • A take-home oil blend used in the session, extending the benefits of your
    treatment beyond our session.
  • Initial session 90 minutes $150 (including a detailed consultation to discuss what you would like to achieve)
  • Follow up session 60 minute $100
  • Follow up session 90 minutes $150

Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki

The reiki session begins with a brief chat about what’s happening in your life and
how you are feeling. You’ll then lie fully clothed on a massage table in a warm and
safe space. The laying on of hands is gentle and non-invasive.

Receiving Reiki can enhance your sense of well-being, improve sleep, alleviate
pain, and reduce symptoms of stress. Reiki is a healing practice based on the belief in a universal life force energy. By connecting to this energy, which permeates and sustains all life, we can bring harmony and wholeness to our being. The word “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words “Rei” (universal) and “Ki” (life
force energy).

  • 70 minutes $100

About Carol
Carol is an aromatherapist, reiki practitioner and yoga teacher. She began her
career in wellness over 20 years ago after experiencing her own health issues
following the birth of her son. Growing up surrounded by the forest and nature, she
was always drawn to the natural world. When she discovered aromatherapy and its
healing potential, she knew it was the path for her. Yoga has also been part of her
daily life for over 20 years, but it wasn’t until recently that she decided to undergo
teacher training in both Vinyasa and Yin. Carol considers herself the “forever
student” and continually builds on her studies. She believes that helping people on
their own wellness journeys is a privilege.

Nancy Campos

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a sleep based guided meditation which allows the body to deeply restore itself and balance excess stress. Using body, breath and awareness techniques the client is able to move from thinking and doing, to feeling and being.It is said that 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra is as restorative as several hours of sleep.Sessions are received lying down on a yoga mat, using whatever props will contribute to making the client warm and comfortable. Blankets, bolsters, and eye masks are made available and will contribute to the client’s comfort and stillness during the session. There is no physical touch given during a Yoga Nidra session. The energy and voice of the facilitator guides the client to enter profoundly deep states of consciousness.Nancy facilitates private Yoga Nidra sessions for 1-3 people.

Reiki
Reiki assists the body’s natural ability to balance and restore itself at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “universal life force energy.” This traditional “laying on of the hands” healing art technique has been practiced throughout history; it was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui Sensei of Japan in the 1920’s.Reiki sessions are received on a massage table with clothes on. Reiki is a gentle hands-on and hands-above the body relaxation technique that promotes stress-reduction, health and healing. The practitioner acts as the vehicle through which Reiki flows. Reiki, the energy itself, is the healer.

Tarot
The Tarot is a visual map of consciousness and a symbolic system that offers insight into the professional contribution, personal motives, and spiritual development of each individual.  As a map of consciousness, the Tarot represents a facet of the total life experience incorporating the “practical-everyday world” with the spiritual growth and evolution of each person.
— A. Arrien

 

Nancy has used and studied Tarot for many years and approaches the cards as symbols from a psychological, mythological, and cross-cultural perspective. Just as psychological and spiritual information is revealed to us in dreams or contemplative states, the Tarot functions as an outer mirror of external experiences and internal psychological states as well. The Tarot deck that Nancy uses was illustrated by Lady Freida Harris, and it reveals the universal principles that are experienced cross culturally, not only from a Western perspective.

The foundation of Nancy’s work with Tarot is the belief that the symbols found on each Tarot card function as a way that the mind and heart can be opened to the wonder of what is going on with the individual, internally and externally at that moment in time.

Nancy offers several different types of Tarot consultations, and it is necessary to have a short phone call with her to discuss which best suits one’s needs and interests.

About Nancy

Nancy is a life-long student and practitioner of the healing arts. She offers  Yoga Nidra, Reiki, and Tarot consultations. Her belief that the body-mind-spirit contains the wisdom to balance and heal itself informs all her work.

Nancy came of age in the late 1960’s and early 70’s in California. Being outside at the ocean or hiking in the mountains always provided profound experiences for her and allowed for greater connection between her personal inner world and the greater, all encompassing energy that surrounds everything that exists, visible and invisible.

Over the years, she has studied psychology, body mechanics, deep tissue massage, shiatsu massage, yoga, astrology, tarot, herbology, and Steiner Education.

These days Nancy mostly works with people on an energetic level although  she always loved the more physical massage work, and is forever grateful for all that she has learned about the wonders of the human form. The greatest gift she has received and nurtured over the years is the awareness of the body-mind-spirit connection and the huge part Breath plays in uniting them.  Her joy is helping others to find balance, integration and peace within their own body-mind-spirit.
