Alternative Healing Modalities
Jessica wishes to incorporate all of these modalities into an integrated practice designed to bring balance and vitality to the individual body & mind and spirit:

Tuning Fork Therapy- The application of tuning forks is designed to stimulate blockages in the body when place above or on energy points. Meridians, Chakras and Marma points are cleared and tuned back into harmonious balance using this vibrational method.

Meridian Yoga
- Application of palm pressure to the meridians while in yoga poses, this brings balance by opening the energetic pathways.

Chakra balancing-
Illness often first manifests in the chakras before the physical body.  Whenever a person blocks an experience (mental or physical) they block the flow of energy to & from their chakras. Clearing the chakras with use colors, hands-on healing work and other methods, aids in bringing wellness back to the body. When the chakras are functioning normally, each one will be open and spinning properly to manifest particular energies needed to maintain good health and vitality.

Pendulum work- A pendulum is a powerful antenna that receives information from the vibrations and energy waves emitted by people, places, thoughts and things. Noted physicist, Albert Einstein, was known to perform impressive feats with such dowsing tools. He believed that it had to do with electromagnetism: just as birds migrate following the earth's magnetic field, dowsers react to energies that are unseen and still not fully understood. In a session we can use a pendulum for muscle testing, discovering allergies, locating weakness in the body and much more.

Energy/Pranic healing-
When stagnated Prana (life energy) sits in the body it begins to malfunction, causing depletion and congestion to organs. In this process we harmonize and balance the flow of energy within the whole person, removing blocked and diseased matter within to restore vitality and leave you refreshed and energized..

Space Clearing-
Align and attune the energies of a space or object to their highest possible potential of expression. Balance the energies of one’s environment, a new home, a passing, birth or union, or blessing the land prior to building, this ritual serves to keep humanity in a state of harmony & balance.
