Spiritual Health is fulfilled when you are inspired and identify a source for support and guidance in times of need. This is the first step in healing and creating change. Creating a true "Balanced Spirit" is where the journey around the Medicine Wheel begins and ends. When in Balance we offer the qualities of a fit body, and equanimity between effort and ease, ultimately leading us into a flow through life in a state of harmony. Spiritual Health services may include, but not limited to Yoga, Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, and Energy Healing.
The ancient practice of Yoga is rooted in sacred philosophy and categorized into the principle eight limbs serving as its own Wheel of Life. Yoga serves as a Spiritual practice to create and maintain balance from the inside out and to offer an ability to find flow and a sacred ability in all you do.
Chinese Medicine is rooted in ancient wisdom based on balance, harmony, and energy flow. Stress, discomfort, and pain are signs that there is an imbalance that can be tended to using herbs, acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, meridian healing, and other natural modalities.
Energy Therapy offers healing techniques to bring ease and flow into your life. Our Energetic Body flows at particular frequencies and waves of vibrations that are effected by others, our environment and when blockages exist, we can become fatigued, ill, or experience dis-ease.
Care for your Spiritual Health and Energy Body by relaxing and dropping into a meditative state on one of our Healing Mats: BEMER Vascular Therapy or Far-Infrared Therapy BioMat. Listen to healing sound frequencies to balance your Chakras, improve sleep, performance, or calm the mind. Recover from tired & overused muscles by adding dynamic compression therapy "the puffy pants", shorts, or arms to the mix!
Mental Health: Maintaining a Happy Mind is about gaining clarity, focus, and concentration. Our brain has the ability to create, control, and skew reality, and in order to adopt a happy mind we must train our brains to give and receive messages that speed injury recovery and promote a happy life. Our Mental Health services may include Sound Therapy, Mental Health Counseling, Meditation, Breathwork, and Functional Medicine Practices.
The principles of working with sound in the healing process are resonance and harmony. The high water content of the body's tissue helps to conduct sound, and the overall effect is likened to a deep massage at the atomic and molecular levels.
At this point in the wheel, brain health is reflected by the anatomical state of the brain. An inside-out approach focusing on educating and training how to balance mental, emotional, and nervous system states through breathwork, visualization, and diet and exercise for the brain.
Functional Medicine identifies and addresses the root causes of discomfort and disease, and views the body as one integrated system. Functional Medicine supports treating the whole system from the ground up, not just symptoms.
Challenge your body and mind on our custom Eldorado climbing wall. Expand your skill-set, feel the focus and concentration as you open your body and gain mental and physical strength.
Emotional Health: Our emotions are the driving force behind everything and how we create connection with our Selves, Each other, and the Land. Once we start to listen to our feelings and sensations, and we have a means to balance emotions and receive our answers more clearly. Our Emotional Health services may include Nutritional Health, Earth Medicines, and Massage & Bodywork.
The make-up of our inner landscape is dictated by the nutritional choices we make and shows off externally by a healthy glow. As is said, you are what you eat and it is revealed by beautiful skin, a genuine smile, and a happy and healthy body from the inside out. Using an integrative approach related to nutritional health and lifestyle, our coaching services offer programming for healthy eating habits, mindfulness, and self-care to live a balanced way of life.
Earth Medicine creates balanced well-being through modalities found in Nature. The Ancient Wisdom offered through healing with Nature inspires us to live a lifestyle that is respectful to our surroundings and to utilize the healing properties found in Nature to care for ourselves, living beings, and Planet Earth.
Massage Therapy offers hands-on soft tissue techniques administered by a Certified Massage Therapist for relief of physical tension and mental stress. Massage Therapy offers a drug-free, non-invasive, and healing hands approach to improve mobility and well-being.
Our custom-made NOMAD 14-person wood-fired sauna offers a thorough sweat, opportunity to detox, rest & recover, and connect with community. Contrast into the cold weather or cold plunge for an exhilarating experience and opportunity to regulate the nervous system and breath.
Physical Health: A Healthy Body provides the mobility and ability to feel better and to sustain, obtain, and achieve more. Fostering the energy to move well, be pain-free, and have longevity is what brings happiness, health, and an ideal life. Physical Health services may include: Rehab Therapies, Sports Medicine, and Fitness practices.
The initial rehab process can kickstart a holistic wellness experience leading into a high performance lifestyle. Providers specializing in Physical Therapy, Sports Medicine, and Fitness can assist to guide you there.
Sports Medicine & Athletic Training adds immense value for those who are striving to maximize outcomes in injury recovery and athletic performance.
