Wellness Services:

Tae Kwon Do -  TKD Fun Fusion - Michelle Martin, has fused her knowledge of psychology, Pilates, Brain Gym™ and martial arts to develop a unique program for therapeutic purposes. A small adjunct to her practice 14 years ago has grown to now include 10 classes per week for children ages 3 through 18 and adults.

Because martial arts is both aerobic and anaerobic and a total all over body exercise, enhancing neuro-integration, it can be a very efficient way to gain across many area of wellness, including concentration, balance, self control, and cardiovascular stamina, muscle strength, flexibility, core strength(chi). Blockages of chi can be released non-verbally through the study of martial arts resulting in mental clarity and calmness. Because Michelle’s program may combine counseling and controlled movement with an emphasis on respect and a true reverence for eastern values of patience, humility, it offers an opportunity to achieve a high degree of body awareness, and a calming meditative state. Marital arts encourages one to become an “evolved warrior,” seeking a way of life that is free of ego and to approach with an empty or “open mind,” free of distractions and seeking peace.

Reiki -(prounounced ray-key) relies on the ancient belief in the life force energy, called chi that flows in the body along meridians. It is an effective method to treat physical and emotional issues and like massage, it has been proven to be helpful for special needs. The Reiki practitioner serves as a channel with their hands on or just above the client, infusing them with a positive flow of energy. Clients report varied positive results including a decrease in sensory sensitivities, increased communication and attention span.

Energy Psychology – An integrated mind body approach to emotional well-being. Energy Psychology is based on the principles of ancient Chinese medicine and the concept that energy flows within the human body along pathways or meridians. ong these meridians result in emotional and physical issues can be relieved by acupuncture but can also be remedied via a non-invasive stimulation to the energy points, consisting of tapping. Within energy psychology the following principle is found: everything in the universe is now understood to be made out of energy, including our thoughts. In our perception objects appear physical and solid, yet in reality it is all energy, thus, we are absorbing and sending energy at the same time and interacting within a sea of energy. Using this premise, energy psychology is based on an understanding of how individuals can heal themselves by increasing the flow of energy within their body and shifting to thoughts that build and attract positive energy.

Aromatherapy - Using botanical oils inhaled directly or diffused to scent an entire room, to work on the brain and nervous system through the stimulation of the olfactory nerves. Can be used to relieve pain, care for skin, alleviate tension and fatigue and invigorate the entire body.
