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

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.

In the weeks leading up to this retreat, you will receive an intake form from Erin (rootsgirl@empressroots.com) via your email. This form will ask questions about the current state of your health and well-being. During the retreat, you will receive an individual treatment plan will include herbal remedies and, where appropriate, dietary changes or nutritional supplements.

In the synergy of the moment, Kristin pulls out the technique that is needed for each client. These individualized sessions include a combination of modalities designed intuitively for each client. Modalities include but are not limited to; Aroma Touch therapy, Reiki, Crystal healing, Chakra alignment, Meridian massage, Ancestral healing, Womb healing, Angel access, and Sound therapy. 

Sessions last for @90 mins and assist in reaching ultimate health. 

A personal reading is a private 45-60 min session that focuses on you and the forecast of your upcoming year. Kristin calls on your ancestors and guides, to work with her, to coach you through the next steps on your life path.

This workshop will give you a general understanding of the Chakra system. You will learn the basic history and traditions of how to connect, nurture, and align with your own Chakras.

A sound bath is the practice of using different sound frequencies to improve your physical health and emotional wellbeing. Kristin uses crystal healing bowls, shamanic drums, her voice, and other instruments during the sound baths. This can be a group or an individual experience.
