Marmani Chikitsa
The marma are an energetic grid that exist within the subtle body and accessed through the physical body . They are a point of life force and by tending to the marma points we calibrate how much energy is coming in and out of the marma points. Marmani are portals of consciousness and are bridges between the physical and subtle bodies. A marma point treatment has the ability to restore the nervous system, balance the emotional field, harmonize the mind, and create optimal pathways for life force to circulate through the body.

Shavayatra- The pilgrimage through the body
This practice is a journey through 61 points on the body. Each point is held in presence as we move through the atlas of the body. I begin with a guided breathwork practice and the feet are massaged with a tri-doshic oil. As we move into this practice each point receives awareness and is held. Depending on the needs of each client I may use tuning forks on the points, herbal pastes (known as lepana), mantra, crystal wands, or color therapy.
The outcome of this practice allows for complete rejuvenation to the nervous system and deep relaxation. Depending on the tools used on the points other healing phenomena can occur and depend upon each client and their individual journey.

This treatment is an acupressure treatment applied to the face, scalp, neck and shoulders, and ears. During this session you will receive a deeply rejuvenating treatment that relaxes the mind and supports the function of the internal organ system. The session includes manual lymphatic drainage to the region and is followed by treatment to points along the ears, scalp, and face that weaves together the use of touch, weighted tuning forks, herbal lepana, and oils that harmonize the marma. The intention of this session is to provide a treatment that not only provides deep relaxation but also provides support to the flow of prana thus initiating whole being health.
