The key to health and wellness stems from a deep love of SELF.

  • What is Reiki?

    Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands", or hovering, and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

  • What does an herbal consult include?

    In the weeks leading up to this retreat, you will receive an intake form from Erin (rootsgirl@empressroots.com) via your email.
