Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice rooted in the understanding that the body is not just physical — it is energetic. When that energy flows freely, the body finds its own natural state of balance. When it becomes blocked or depleted through stress, illness, grief, or the ordinary weight of life, we feel it — in our bodies, our emotions, and our spirit.

During a Reiki session, a trained practitioner works with the body's energy field to release what is stuck, restore what is depleted, and create the conditions in which deep, natural healing can occur. Sessions are quiet, deeply relaxing, and profoundly restorative — many clients describe a sense of warmth, peace, or gentle release during and after their time on the table.

Reiki does not diagnose or treat. It simply reminds your body of what it already knows how to do.

At Sacred Tree, Reiki sessions are offered by both Sara Woods Kender, Reiki Master, and Wendy Carder, Reiki II Practitioner — each bringing her own unique gifts and presence to the work. Wendy's grounded, whole-person approach is deeply informed by her integrative wellness background, making her Reiki sessions a natural complement to her health coaching practice. Sessions with Wendy are available Mondays and Tuesdays at the shop.

Shamanic Reiki begins where traditional Reiki ends. It weaves the energetic precision of Reiki together with the ancient, earth-rooted wisdom of shamanic practice — creating a healing experience that works not just on the surface of the body's energy field, but at the level of soul.

In shamanic traditions, illness, disconnection, and suffering are often understood as disruptions at a deeper level — a loss of power, a wound carried across time, or a part of the self that has quietly slipped away. Shamanic Reiki works to address these deeper layers with intention, sacred tools, and guidance from the natural and spiritual world.

Sara brings her gifts as both a Reiki Master and intuitive practitioner to each session, holding a grounded, sacred container in which this level of healing can unfold safely and gently.

This offering is particularly meaningful for those navigating grief, trauma, major life transitions, or a persistent sense that something essential has gone missing — and who are ready to call it back.

True wellness is not a diet. It is not a program, a protocol, or a set of rules handed down from someone who has never met you.

It is the lived, daily experience of feeling at home in your body, energized, clear, and capable of showing up fully for your life.

Integrative Health Coaching takes a whole-person approach to getting you there. Rather than isolating symptoms or prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions, this work begins with you — your history, your patterns, your goals, and the unique rhythms of your body and life. Together, we explore the foundational pillars of lasting wellness: nourishment, movement, sleep, stress, relationships, and the quiet but powerful role that mindset plays in all of it.

Sessions are collaborative, compassionate, and deeply practical. Because real change doesn't come from perfection or willpower — it comes from small, achievable goals that build on each other until one day you realize everything has shifted.

At Sacred Tree, Health Coaching is offered by two deeply experienced practitioners:

Wendy Carder holds certifications in health coaching, nutrition, and personal training through the American Council on Exercise and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Wendy specializes in weight management, stress, menopause, sleep, and sustainable lifestyle change — and brings the rare gift of personal experience to every session she holds.

Ruth Levesque, RN brings over twenty years of experience as a Registered Nurse to this work, along with certifications as a Reiki Master Teacher, Clinical Herbalist, and Nurse Coach. Having witnessed firsthand the limitations of the traditional medical model, Ruth turned toward holistic medicine with a deep conviction that there are better, safer ways to heal. She is a wonderful listener who holds space for deep connection and authenticity — because that, as Ruth will tell you, is where the magic starts.

No goal is too big or too small. Both Wendy and Ruth meet you exactly where you are and walk alongside you every step of the way.

You are not broken. You are simply ready for a different kind of support.

Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient healing art that has been practiced for over 2,500 years — and if you've never experienced it, it may be unlike anything you've tried before.

Performed fully clothed on a comfortable mat on the floor, Thai Yoga Massage combines rhythmic compression, assisted stretching, and gentle pressure along the body's energy lines to release tension, restore mobility, and return the body to a state of deep ease. There are no oils, no tables, and no passive lying still — this is bodywork that moves with you.

Often described as having yoga done to you, Thai Yoga Massage works the whole body systematically and intuitively — opening joints, lengthening muscles, and clearing the energetic pathways that run throughout. The result is a feeling of lightness, spaciousness, and calm that can be difficult to achieve through other forms of bodywork alone.

It is particularly well suited for those who carry tension in their hips, back, or shoulders, those with limited flexibility or range of motion, and anyone who feels deeply held by stress and is ready to let it go.

Fabienne Aliberti brings her training in Integrative Yoga Therapy to every session — meeting each client with attentiveness, skill, and a deep respect for the body's own wisdom. No yoga experience is required. No flexibility is assumed. You only need to arrive and allow.

Come stiff. Leave spacious.

Your body keeps score.

Every stressful week, every sleepless night, every hour spent hunched over a screen or carrying more than your share — it all lands somewhere in the body. In the shoulders that won't drop. The jaw that won't unclench. The low back that reminds you, daily, that something needs attention.

Therapeutic massage is not a luxury. It is one of the oldest and most effective forms of medicine available to us — and it works.

Unlike a spa massage focused purely on relaxation, therapeutic massage is intentional and outcome-driven. Shelly works with each client individually, taking time to understand where you are holding tension, where you are guarding, and what your body genuinely needs in that session. Pressure, technique, and focus are all adjusted accordingly — because no two bodies, and no two sessions, are ever quite the same.

The benefits extend well beyond the table. Regular therapeutic massage supports improved circulation, reduced inflammation, better sleep, decreased anxiety, and a nervous system that finally gets the message that it is safe to rest. For those managing chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply living in a body that has been running on empty, this work can be genuinely transformative.

Shelly Meeks brings a grounded, skilled, and deeply attentive presence to every session. You will be met with care, respected completely, and given the space to simply receive.

Because sometimes the most healing thing you can do is allow yourself to be taken care of.

Your body has been asking for this. It is okay to say yes.

A Sacred Journey Back to You

There is a part of you that knows how to heal. It lives beneath the noise of everyday life — beneath the stress, the stillness, the stories you've been carrying. Chakra Dance exists to help you find your way back to it.

This is not a performance. There are no steps to learn, no choreography to follow, no right or wrong way to move. Chakra Dance is a holistic moving meditation — a deeply personal practice that weaves free-flowing movement, chakra wisdom, guided imagery, and carefully chosen music tuned to the frequency of each energy center.

It is equal parts healing and homecoming.

In a private session with Iryna Novos, you will be held in a safe, supported, and completely non-judgmental space as you move through each of the seven chakras — gently releasing what has been blocked, reconnecting with what has been forgotten, and returning to the body you have always lived in but may have stopped fully inhabiting.

This practice can help you:

• Gently release stored emotions and energetic tension

• Reconnect with your authentic self

• Feel grounded, balanced, and clear

• Reignite creativity, joy, and sensuality

• Awaken your inner guidance

• Heal at your own pace, in your own way

Whether you are navigating a difficult season, feeling emotionally flat, or simply craving a deeper connection with yourself — this work meets you exactly where you are.

You don't need to know how to dance. You only need to be willing to move.
