Left to Right: Julie, Audrey, Melissa, Amy, Wendy, Joyce, Lynne
Who we are enriches all we do for you- we are Women, Daughters, Wives, Friends, Lovers, Partners, Sisters, Mothers, Healers, Visionaries & so much more… Can we help you? For those of you who think “which healing system is the best?”– Think instead “Which healing system will work best for me?” As with all things, what is important is: You need to feel comfortable with what is happening to you. You need to know that the service you have chosen will work for you and instinctively you already know. Please feel free to try out more than one type of bodywork and be prepared to spend time in healing yourself. Healing is a two way thing – effort from both sides – the practitioner and you. The bodyworker holds a space for you, taps into your bodies own ability to heal itself and the rest is up to you & your body. The amount of work you needs just depends on the depth and level to which the body responds. Sometimes your body works quickly and only one or two sessions are required. Other times, it holds on to its patterns and takes time to release what is needed to heal fully. There are some ailments that we, consciously or unconsciously hold onto indefinitely. Combining approaches can help address many of these blocks & holds. We can work together to bring you the best results possible.

She works intuitively and experientially with individuals to ignite the body’s self-healing network by releasing what no longer serves them. She brings compassion, attention and understanding to each individual session to allow for inner discovery and deep healing. She works on your energy body as well as physical body to facilitate your highest good. Her work brings emotional clearing and clarity, allowing open energy channels for holistic treatment. These sessions induce a highly comfortable, relaxed state of being. She integrates her knowledge and experience of Reiki healing energy, foot, hand and face reflexology, and Shaman techniques to aid in your complete vitality. Audrey’s work is family-friendly and she strives to educate the youth as well as adults as to the power of their awareness and alternative ways to free the body, mind and spirit while helping them evolve on their journey. In the same way when one aspect of your body is stuck, or not well, treating the body holistically will be most beneficial, so it is with the family unit. When one member is off-balance, the others are as well. Complete family treatments work optimally. To book a session with Audrey, call her at 413-229-2066. |

Health is a dynamic state. A healthy person is supple and adaptable to changes in their physical and emotional environment. In a state of dis-ease, the body’s innate balance is disrupted. We may be over reactive and experience pain and discomfort, or non-responsive and find ourselves at the mercy of every illness we encounter. Acupuncture works to restore balance by removing energetic (qi) blockage and stimulating organ function.

Lynne Vanderpot, Reconnective Healing Practitioner™It is her blend of joyful compassion and ability to listen that makes Lynne such a powerful practitioner of Reconnective Healing™. Certified in levels I, II, and III at Kripalu, Lynne is currently a graduate student in psychology. She resides in Sheffield, MA. While it’s true that not even the founder of Reconnective Healing, Dr. Eric Pearl purports to understand exactly how it works, it is theorized that during a reconnective healing session, evolutionary frequencies of light, energy and information are accessed. My job is to act as a catalyst, bringing a person and these frequencies together, facilitating what I call a ‘high-level’ conference between the person and the universe. This exchange of information tends to result in a removal of one’s obstacles to healing, and a return to balance on various levels, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. |
