MASSAGE
Massage therapy is one of the oldest healthcare practices known. References to massage are found in ancient Chinese medical texts written more than 4,000 years ago. Massage has been advocated in Western healthcare practices since the time of Hippocrates, the “father of medicine.” Typically, massage is delivered to improve the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid (part of immune system), to reduce muscular tension, to affect the nervous system through stimulation or relaxation, and to enhance tissue healing.
We have a choice of both indoor and outdoor massage services. You can choose to get a relaxing and healing massage in our Takoda services center or on the patio of one of our treatment rooms to fully integrate the treatment with nature. The fresh scents from our heirloom tangerine trees or the aromas from our herb garden might just be the perfect fit with your massage. Sessions start at $125 for 60 minutes.
SOUND BOWLS
The ancient Greeks used music to cure mental disorders and throughout history music has been used to help people work faster, influence, and boost morale. Humans have a natural instinct for sound therapy. Sound healing synchronizes brain waves to achieve profound states of relaxation, helping to restore the normal vibratory frequencies of the cells in our bodies. It can shift one from the low energy states of guilt, fear, and sadness to the higher vibrations of love and joy. The benefits are lower stress levels, lower blood pressure, improved sleep, and fewer mood swings. Sessions start at $200 for a private group.
Average session duration: 60 minutes

FOREST BATHING
Forest Bathing is the Japanese art of “Shinrin Yoku”, translated as: ‘taking in the forest air with all the senses. It is a gentle, immersive, intentional, and meditative walk through the forest that has been found to reduce stress, boost immune function, as well as increase focus and productivity. Experience sights and sounds that enliven your senses, allowing you to connect deeply and personally with the forest. This experience allows you to tap into an intuitive and ancient practice of wellbeing that has inspired human beings for millennia – the transformative spirit of the forest.
