Wellness is a state of balance and harmony among the various aspects of the human being. We are complex beings, with physical, material, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, social needs and relationships. Wellness in the ongoing, gentle, exploration of understanding, acknowledging, and consciously satisfying our human needs in each of the facets of our existence. Wellness involves a personal commitment to listen to our bodies, to respect our feelings, to value our ideas and ideals, to nurture the spiritual life of the soul. Wellness is a continual process of self-improvement.

The various levels of human experience are interconnected and work together energetically, synchronistically, intuitively. Unfortunately, stress, in any form, on any level of the human pyramid, disrupts and disorganizes the natural state of wholeness and wellness, leading to various manifestations of dis-ease. We all know of situations when emotional upsets have produced physical symptoms like colds, headaches, digestive problems. On the other hand, we have also seen physical pain or illness produce unhealthy emotional responses and spiritual disorientation.

The human being is a work of art, continually re-creating itself. We are our own canvas. At any moment, we are blossoming into our unique potential and highest self-expression. Self Discovery Wellness Arts Center offers a colorful palette of modalities to create opportunities for re-integration, balance and joyful living. Touch and non-touch therapies are offered by private appointment: Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Alexander Technique, Aromatic Massage, Shiatsu, Focusing, Hypnotherapy, Lymph Drainage Therapy, Cranial Sacral Therapy.

These modalities help to balance energy, reduce pain and stimulate the natural healing potential. All practitioners have significant training in their field and their knowledge of body systems and subtle energy makes them highly effective in helping people recover from stress or illness and achieve a high level of well-being.

Wellness and healing are more than curing of symptoms. It is a collaborative process with the client to awaken to greater self-knowing and the services offered are, like art, creative and intuitive. Wellness modalities are gentle and appropriate for any age, from children to seniors in any state of health. Our healing work is not intended to replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment when symptoms are present.
