Energy work is given with a light or hovering touch. This very gentle treatment is wonderful for chronic pain management, trauma recovery, emotional processing, healing from recent or past injury, sensitive areas, and spirit-body exploration. People describe the sensation as tingling, heat, electric energy or images during, or after receiving. Others describe a sense of peace and re- association to their body. This is all part of the magic. *In Japanese traditions this is called Reiki, and is universal life force energy traveling through the practitioner to the receiver. *In Afro diasporic and Indigenous traditions, it has many names, and is a passed down practice between healers , ancestors and 2 Spirit conduits of support. I practice this as a blending of Intuitive gifts, Reiki attunement and Ancestral practice that was with me even before becoming a Massage therapist.

7 Quartz crystal bowls, likembis, other African natural healing sounds along with vocals will flow to create a 1 hour soundscape for you to stretch, meditate, lay or sit and receive tones aligned with the chakras. These instruments are deeply meditative. Known to be helpful with extended trauma release, chakra balancing, and full body reset. These instruments are often an optimal way to access and release the nervous system when stress, or healing is intense in the body. A state of peace, suspension, spiritual reset and emotional release is a common response to receiving a sound bath of this kind. *This modality also honors and celebrates my father, Nadi Qamar who was an Afromusicologist , Composer and Jazz pianist and lived to be 103 years old. I witnessed him building many instruments as an ancestrally connecting practice, and played various instrumental soundscapes with him from a young age. I encourage you to call on an ancestor to join us in this experience.

Cupping is a traditional Chinese method of dispersal for the meridians in the body. When certain areas are stagnant or very tight, cupping can help pull out excess energy by suctioning the skin with glass cups. With fire cupping we light a flame under the cup before quickly placing the cup on the area. This creates a strong suction and a light round bruise. Afterwards the body often feels completely relieved and relaxed where the area of discomfort was before! Benefits are improoving circulation, clearing stagnation and releasing outer layers of fascia. It may also be a little sensitive for a few days. **Please note that this treatment is done directly on the skin. Be prepared to bring a chest covering or undergarment if this would make you more comfortable.
