Suzann Rogers Sound/Vibration Healing: This tratment combines the use of crystal healing bowls with gentle non-invasive body work. The sounds/vibrations of the bowls work at a very deep level to cleanse and align the body’s internal energy system (chakras) Steve will blend hands on techniques with various forms of toning with the crystal bowls as you relax on the table. Some have described the experience as floating on sound. This hour and a half session is deeply relaxing and centering. Wear loose comfortable clothing.

The heat from the bamboo is tranferred to the body, instantly relaxing the muscles and allowing for a deeper massage.

The stones provide deep muscle release while being smooth, warm and relaxing on the skin.
