CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
We’re all familiar with the body's cardiac rhythm (heartbeat) and respiratory rhythm (breathing). Yet there is a third and equally important rhythm known as the craniosacral rhythm that results from the increase/ decrease in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid within and around the craniosacral system. The craniosacral system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system); the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord; the surrounding meninges (membranes) that enclose the brain, spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid; and the bones of the spine and skull that house these membranes. Craniosacral therapy manipulates the bones of the skull to treat a range of conditions, from headache and ear infection to stroke, spinal cord injury, and cerebral palsy.

EAR CONING
Ear coning is a safe, simple remedy for relieving pressure, fightinginfection, and gently removing toxins and excess wax from inside the ears. Cones are inserted into the ears and lit. Warm, dry, powdery smoke from the cone draws out excess fluids, wax and toxic debris by osmosis. The entire process is relaxing and non-invasive.

EFT
EFT is a universal healing aid that rebalances the body’s energy system with respect to unresolved emotional issues. Energy meridians that run through our body can be blocked or disrupted by unresolved emotional issues, thereby compromising our natural healing potential. Realigning the energy meridians while focusing on an unresolved emotional issue can often provide increased personal peace and relief from many physical symptoms.
