Some Health Savings Account (HSA), Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), and Flexible Savings Account (FSA) enable you to use your spendings accounts for services such as massage therapy, yoga, and reiki. You may also be able to use these accounts for our workshops, events, and meditations. Depending on the plan, it may require you to receive a recommendation from a health care professional to qualify the services as a necessary expense for treatment or prevention.

If you do not have a flexible spending card, we can provide a receipt to be submitted for potential reimbursement.

The Enneagram

The Enneagram is an ancient personality type system with an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively and negatively. Learning about your archetype will not only teach you more about yourself, but you will also start to see the world through other people’s eyes, understanding how and why people think, feel, and act the way they do. Below is a quiz to get you started:

Love Language

Lasting relationships, like anything worthwhile, takes time and good intentions. When we are not on the same page, keeping love alive can feel intimidating – or even impossible. In the book The 5 Love Languages®, Dr. Gary Chapman presents a simple truth: relationships grow better when we understand each other. We all give and receive love differently. When we can understand how our loved one loves us, we can be confidently equipped to communicate love well. This is true for all forms of relationship – for married or dating couples, for children and teenagers, for friends and coworkers, for long-distance relationships, for those brand-new loves and for the romances that are older than the hills.

Ayurveda

Ayurveda is the traditional Indian system of medicine and wellness which has been practiced for over 5,000 years. It sees the body and mind as containing multiple types of energy which can create physical and emotional issues when imbalanced. Ayurveda uses a combination of herbs and dietary and lifestyles changes in order to correct these imbalances.

Doshas

In Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, our bodies are made up of three energetic substances called Doshas. Imbalances in these Doshas can make us more prone to certain physical and emotional issues, and we each usually have one or two Doshas that dominate within us. Finding out about our Doshas can help us to soothe the issues of our body and mind. Here are some short quizzes that can help you figure out your dominant dosha:
