Therapies Offered
Shirodhara Therapy
Shirodhara Therapy is potentially one of the most “awakening” therapies on the planet and it is one of the most effective therapies. It raises consciousness/awareness, bliss, inner harmony, removes stress and so much more. Shirodhara rejuvenates both the mind and the senses, which allow the body’s natural healing mechanisms to release stress from the nervous system, improve mental clarity and comprehension.
$150.00 / 1.5 hour session
(The cost includes 1-2 liters of Pure Therapeutic Oils, Essential Oils, and Herbal Tinctures/Session)
To start, Katie will apply therapeutic oils to the body, so the oils have time to penetrate all the layers of the skin during the Shirodhara Therapy. This therapy also includes a rebalancing technique to quiet the mind, a foot massage, face massage, neck and scalp massage, tuning forks, etc., to accompany the warm mind melting oil pouring, across the forehead, called Shirodhara. Each session uses 1-2 liters of pure therapeutic oils (sesame, avocado, sunflower, olive oil, etc.), infused with brain tonic herbs like Brahmi oil and a variety of uplifting therapeutic essential oils. Some favorite essential oils used are Frankincense, Cedarwood, Lavender, Calming Blends with Ylang Ylang, Eucalyptus, etc. Castor Oil will be applied to the feet and face, for the extra nourishing quality. Please be aware that each Shirodhara Treatment, has an additional 40-50 minutes of preparation and clean up for the Shirodhara Therapist. Receiving Shirodhara Therapy once per week is recommended, initially.
“Sneha” means both “oil” and “love”
In Sanskrit, the word for “oil” is “sneha” which also means “love.” During Shirodhara, you are literally being bathed in oil and in love, so keep this in mind as you move through the next few days. Notice when you feel love and notice how you can incorporate more love into your life. You may feel like you are immersed in love and support for days after, so take time to cultivate gratitude.
These Ayurvedic practices are important to help you come back to balance and remember who you are and why you’re here. When you feel love for yourself, you can bring that into the world around you and encourage your friends, family, students, and clients to do the same!
Intuitive Healing Therapy
Katie applies all her various knowledge, skills, wisdom, and insights into these interactive sessions. There will be discussions around health concerns, followed by applying certain techniques to help integrate the body/mind system back to greater well-being and wholeness.

These sessions are done "in-person" or remotely. Remote sessions will be done via email. The session notes will be given back via email, as well.

"It is clearly unique in this day and age to find a system of medicine that is thousands of years old and still one of the largest on the planet today. Ayurvedic medicine, although in its infancy here in America, has over 300,000 Indian doctors in the All Indian Ayurvedic Congress, making it the largest medical organizations in the world."
- Dr. John Couillard
Shirodhara is an ancient mind-melting warm oil therapy rooted in Ayurvedic concepts that give rise to elevated consciousness, expanded awareness, blissful sleep and healing for the entire mind-body-spirit paradigm. Ayurveda is a time-proven, evidence-based holistic medical system of self-healing. This is potentially one of the most “spiritually awakening” therapies on the planet. It raises consciousness, bliss, peace, removes stress and so much more.
This ancient therapy enlivens the innate intelligence that lives in every cell in our body. It is a mind-melting experience, where it clears away negative thoughts by dispersing the negative electrical impulses that accumulate at our foreheads from overthinking and stress. It is one of the only therapies that assists in raising consciousness, allowing for spiritual and cellular activations within the physiology.
Shirodhara Therapy is offered at many medical wellness clinics, hospitals, and in the most elite beauty spas around the world. Some of the spas call it the Himalayan Treatment and others call it Soothing Forehead Therapy. Many medical spas are adopting this ancient therapy as a means for reversing the aging process and removing stress from the mind and physiology. If this therapy is done on a regular basis, it can transform one’s life on all levels. Ayurvedic and consciousness therapies such as shirodhara, are among the most subtle, yet, most powerful treatments for a plethora of disorders, but in the west, it is used mostly for developing a sense of well-being and restoring the harmony that weaves the body, mind and spirit together.
This therapy usually takes about 30-75 minutes and 2 liters of oil, depending on the length and thickness of hair. Receiving Shirodhara Therapy once per week is recommended, initially.
