Free Infant Craniosacral Therapy Clinic

Monday August 25
9:30am - 5:30pm

Carol Gray and graduates of her Craniosacral Therapy for Infants training program will treat babies who are six months and under at this free clinic.

Appointments: Call 503-236-2999 or email Carol. Please make your one-hour appointment in advance. Please do not call Zenana Spa & Wellness Center.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive, yet effective type of hands-on body treatment that is most helpful for infants. A newborn Craniosacral Therapy session can minimize or eliminate the effects of a difficult birth and help ensure good health for well babies. All babies should receive newborn Craniosacral evaluations and treatments as soon as possible after birth. The techniques are very gentle. We use five grams of pressure (the weight of a nickel). Our treatments are effective for colic, reflux, feeding problems and sleep issues.

Intro to Reiki: A gift for yourself and your family

Next Date TBA
Contact Darlene at (503) 473-9069 or reikilite@gmail.com

$17 Adult; $7 Children. Booklet with energy games and exercises will be provided.

This class is designed to provide you with information about the unique form of gentle hands-on energy healing called Reiki and the magical story of how it came to America. You will discover the benefits Reiki can offer as we present to you how to guide this life force energy to enhance all areas of your life including the food you eat, the health of your pets, and the overall wellbeing of your physical and emotional body. It compliments traditional and alternative medicine and is often used in hospital settings to help prepare patients for surgery, giving birth, speeding up the recovery process, and decreasing the side-effects of medicine.

We will experiment with our own energy fields and participate in fun, interactive activities to develop a sense of just how powerful that energy is that exists in and around us.

Reiki can be incorporated into every aspect of your life, bringing to you and your family a feeling of peace, balance, love, and joy. It is simple to learn so that even children find it easy and fun to use as a healing tool for when they, a friend, or a family member, needs comforting. Reiki energy offers adults and children a sense of calmness and support when it’s needed most. You can provide your family with an empowering gift that they can share with others that lasts a lifetime.

Join us in this journey of discovering our energy fields and how to use that energy for promoting our very own healing process. Bring a family member or friend as we explore Reiki and how it can change your life for the better.

She found Reiki after being diagnosed with a form of cancer two years ago and experienced first hand the power of Reiki in preparing her for two surgeries, recovery, and a year of treatments. She was able to work full time and amazed and baffled her doctors whenever her blood results were calculated. She believes sincerely that Reiki assisted her physical and emotional body to fully recover and heal more quickly than anyone had ever expected. She now lives a healthy, well-balanced life guided daily by the healing and loving power of Reiki.
