Smell
Uses essential oils, candles, and diffusers to promote relaxation, enhance mood, and improve mental and emotional well-being. Smell also unlocks memories in a gentle way. The nose knows.
Sound
A technique that incorporates music, singing bowls, and other instruments to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality.
Taste
What is your favorite food? What does it allow you to feel? Taste, combined with the other senses, can help you reclaim pleasure in your life. Often we are taught to feel shame around eating. Taste therapy can help us reconnect to a wholesome way of being with food and your body.
Visual
Uses a variety of visual stimuli. Color therapy, creating visual art, visiting a museum, all of these evoke different energies within you. Engaging this sense can open your creativity and your logic centers.
Intuition
Often referred to as the 6th sense and often neglected. Your whole body, including the hairs on your arms, are message transmitters. They receive information and energy. Your intuition is that unexplainable feeling that you get when you know what to do without understanding a situation fully. We can tap into that and learn to let it guide.
