This year at True Nature Sarah will be offering various Wellness Treatments, Massage, and Ayurvedic Consultations.

Thai Yoga Massage
A dynamic bodywork therapy based on yoga and Ayurveda, born in the temples of Thailand. In this unique healing system of Thai Yoga Massage - also called Nuad Boran and widely known as traditional Thai massage - the practitioner guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy ("Sen") lines and pressures points. Together these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically.  Thai Yoga Massage is performed on a mat on the floor; both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement and flexibility. No oils or creams are used.


Kalari Marma Massage
Originally used by kalari payyat martial artists in kerala, india, to increase flexibility and to protect the body's vital energy points, the kalari marma massage is now enjoyed throughout the state of kerala for its relaxing and rejuvenating effects.  It is performed with the client laying on a comfortable floor mat, and involves the use of therapuetic oil(the type is chosen for the client's particular body type/condition).  The practitioner performs 54 strokes to the clients,repeated 3, 5, or 7 times each(again depending upong the body type) most of which are long and flowing, running the body's energy lines and indirectly energizing all marma points located from the neck down, leaving the client feeling oh so good!


Ayurvedic Neck, Head, and Face Massage
Be prepared to get pampered!

Abhyanga - Ayurvedic oil massage
Abhyanga actually means "the putting of oil", but today is a general term for the traditional Ayurvedic massage.  Herb-infused oil is liberally applied to the body of the client, followed by long, flowing massage strokes which create heat, thus allowing the body to better absorb the oil.  This massage helps to balance aggravation of the Vata dosha, but is highly beneficial for all body types, for, as ayurvedic doctors say, "every day the body is drying out".  The regular putting of oil can help reduce the effects of aging.  The massage is truly divine, and has the following benefits:

Increased circulation, especially to nerve endings
Toning of the muscles and the whole physiology
Calming for the nerves
Lubrication of the joints
Increased mental alertness
Improved elimination of impurities from the body
Softer, smoother skin
Increased levels of stamina through the day
Better, deeper sleep at night

Ayurvedic consultations
Learn your body type and any aggravations that may be present.  Learn simple self-care techniques(dietary and lifestyle recommendations), that you can implement in your daily life to enhance your health and well-being, and live in a state of greater balance.

***It is recommended to have a consultation in conjunction with any massage or series of massages, so that the most beneficial oil/approach may be utilized.

JoJo Silverman
(Please see JoJo's Bio on the TN Staff Page)

This year JoJo will be offering various Sound Healing Treatments at True Nature.

Prayerful Resonance Chant Healing (PR) is life a changing individual healing experience.By acknowledging the more connected and expansive layers of consciousness in the recipient, through the resonance of ancient mantras and primordial sounds PR helps to connect and heal areas in the physical, and energetic bodies.

At the deepest levels of awareness we are all in total connection with the One Source.Prayerful Resonance Chant Healing works to activate this knowing.
Spiritual energy is invited back into areas that have been previously shut down, reconnecting the individual with the his/her larger knowing of self.

Remote Healings
The majority of Prayerful Resonance Chant Healings are done as "Distance" healings. Although, on the superficial level, the recipient and the healer are in different Physical locations these "Distant" healings are actually not distant at all. This type of healing activates and helps awaken parts of the self that are non physical in nature yet have a direct affect on the body.
By eliminating the resistance or distractions of a physical experience we are able drop into a different level of awareness and receptivity. In actuality, these remote healings are often more more potent and work on a deeper level than the sessions done in person.

PR in person: If you would prefer to be present for your healing and can get to the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts this can easily be arranged. The recipient lies on a comfortable mat while they recieve various chants and mantras that spirit wants them to hear and feel. These positive vibrations can awaken new levels of emotion and spiritual awareness, bringing one into a new level of harmony with the world. The recipient needs only to relax and allow these new energies to pour in.

Prayerful Resonance Divination
In addition to the positive vibrations of the sound work, this added component includes a written synopsis of information that is "downloaded" during the healing. Like a road map, this information can help us see where we stand, what brought us to this point, and how to navigate our terrain.
Some of the navigational tools often included are:
-Methods for letting go of unhealthy belief systems or thought patterns
-Affirmations or practices to help embody a new vibration
-Suggestions of music or simple mantras to use

***Wellness Treatments are seperate from the tuition of the programs unless noted. Costs vary depending on the treatment.
