Feathers Wellness Studio was born on Jan 19, 2008. Feathers Wellness Studio offers a variety of healing modalities, movement classes and workshops. This wellness studio provides an opportunity for adults and children to move their bodies through Yoga, Nia and Belly Dancing. Individuals can then determine if movement is healing to their souls. Hands on healing modalities such as Reiki have been shown through research to lower one’s heart rate, blood pressure, improve wound healing and lift depression. Research references are available for those interested.
Sound Healing is a profound method to move stagnant energy and make room for healthy flowing energy. One lies on a sound table, with seven speakers imbedded into it. The sound travels through your body facilitating the body to move stagnant energy. The energetic release may come in the form of heat, or a physical jump of a muscle. Individuals may note nothing or may experience a profound sense of relaxation.
