Sound Healing in Athens, GA

Our monthly sound bath is a meditative, healing experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, tuning forks, and even the human voice itself. The different frequencies of sound healing instruments affect different organs, emotions, illnesses, diseases, chakras and trauma.

Ideally, you should feel the intentions of love, wellness, healing and positivity throughout your session. It is a unique experience to each individual and potentially a wonderful supplement to any healing or wellness program. We offer a monthly Sound Bath the last Wednesday of the month and you can also experience them in select special classes or events.

Reiki in Athens, GA

Reiki Energy Healing is an ancient Japanese relaxation technique that promotes healing in all bodies; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. This treatment is a safe, gentle, noninvasive form of hands-on healing that increases & balances energy, reduces pain & anxiety, eases stress, improves immunity, promotes better sleep, creates full body harmony and more! Reiki energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to the client and may be received in the form of sensations like heat, tingling or emotional release. Sometimes, people have strong visualizations or can feel the sensations moving through their body, while others may not notice any change at all.

What’s important to know is that the reiki energy flows regardless of the client’s perceived experience. In some cases, Reiki is received hands-off with the practitioner working through the auric field as they hover their hands above your body. If you fall asleep during your session, the Reiki energy is still received!

Our Reiki Practitioners, McKenzie Raymond, Kelsey Wishik, and Hollie Wyrick, will make sure you are comfortable and answer any questions you may have.
