Sound Healing: What is Sound Healing? Sound impacts us on an elemental level. In fact, research shows us that sounds consist of vibrations that affect us on a cellular level, impacting brain, nerve, muscle, and organ function. The healing power of sound has been among us for thousands of years, before modern medicine, aiding us in a holistic way. It is commonly used today to ease anxiety, stress, depression, or heal physical ailments as well by releasing tension in muscles or nerves. Becoming a Sound Practitioner requires certification and experience with certain instruments to tailor to a person's needs. Nicole offers Private Sound Bath sessions, group sessions, and workshops throughout the month. Please contact Nicole so that she may set up your own personal session to suit your needs for your healing journey.
Yin/Restorative Yoga: Yin Yoga is an ancient Chinese practice that is a grounded method, aside from traditional "yang" yoga practice, such as vinyasa or ashtanga approach. Yin takes a more "restorative" approach and targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, and joints. It’s slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe and connect your thoughts.
Guided Meditation and MBSR
Guided imagery or Mindfulness is a relaxation technique that involves visualizing a peaceful environment. This method plays a significant role in stress management by helping those focus their minds away from stressors and immerse themselves in a calming and tranquil mental image.
The immediate benefits of guided imagery for stress relief include reducing feelings of anxiety and tension, increasing a sense of calmness, and fostering a mental state conducive to relaxation. By engaging the senses in this vivid mental escapade, guided imagery assists in diverting attention from stress, promoting a peaceful and restful mental environment.
MBSR, or Mindfulness-based stress reduction is a group program that was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn to treat those struggling with life’s difficulties and physical and/or mental illness.
Although it was initially created to aid hospital patients, it has since been used effectively by a wide range of people from all walks of life. MBSR is a flexible and customizable approach to stress reduction. Instead of following a script, mindfulness is practiced in the manner that best suits the individual.
Nicole uses these techniques when working with clients who suffer from Anxiety, PTSD, addiction, or any developmental disabilities. Nicole is open to setting appointment for private and group Meditation sessions.
