SERVICES     PHILOSOPHY     ABOUT     BLOG

My services, for the most part, fall under the umbrella of spiritual counseling. Through these various channels, I help you to find your own way down the path of your making. These services can be pursued individually, or more holistically, and are available and can be catered to schools or other group settings.

 

Yoga

Yoga serves as the connection between my spirituality and my physicality. As a highly kinesthetic person, that's very important to me. On the other hand, what yoga is for you may be miles away from that, and that's awesome! If you're interested in the spiritual side of yoga, I'm happy to help you integrate it into any faith-tradition (organized or not so much) that you find meaningful. If you just want a great workout that doesn't feel too much like a great workout, you've come to the right place, too. Another aspect of yoga that has served me incredibly well over the years is the emphasis it places on honoring your body. In a weight training or cardio class scenario, you might feel that the person at the front of the room is telling you what your limits are: at what point it's ok to need a break. It is never like that in my class. Only you know how far you can move into any given pose, and at what point its time to back off. I absolutely encourage you to push yourself, but gently, to play with your edge, but mindfully! One-on-one or small group lessons are opportunities to have a lot more say in what you explore and focus on. I would be happy to address any questions you may have from the most logistics-orientated, to the most philosophical. For information on studio classes I'm teaching, follow me on facebook. Omily Yoga (facebook.com/omilyyoga) is constantly updated with the latest on my studio schedule, as well as other tasty tidbits.

Private Lessons start at $75 for one hour. You are welcome to split your private among as many people as you like, with the understanding that I am contracted by, and paid by, one person.

 

Meditation

Meditation actually comprises four of the eight limbs of Yoga, with the asana practice that we often think of as yoga comprises only one! Getting started on a personal meditation practice can be really challenging, but the benefits are huge! Study after study have shown higher levels of brain chemicals associated with feelings of well-being, reduced stress hormones, stronger immune systems, better cognitive skills, and more. It can be a lot easier to take the plunge into meditation with the guidance and support of someone who's been through it all before, and is going through it right along side you. Meditation sessions can be simply sitting in silence together, and discussing the experience afterward, the study of texts on meditation, such as the Yoga Sutras, or experimentation with various meditation techniques, including guided meditations and shamanic journeys. Meditation sessions are a great way to deepen your yoga practice as well, and begin exploring those other seven limbs…

Meditation sessions start at $75 an hour, and they can be split in the same way that yoga lessons can be split. If the nature of the session calls for it, sessions can be as short as half an hour.

 

Tarot

Does the tarot seem spooky to you? How about shady? If you're in favor of using tools to help you get in touch with your motives, ascertain goals, weigh pros and cons, consider long-term and short-term consequences, make more informed decisions, get to know yourself better, and help others do these same things, then the tarot isn't spooky, and it's not a scam; it's your new best friend! You need to plumb the depths of your own heart and beliefs to decide if an exploration of the Tarot is right for you, and you're welcome to make an appointment just to learn more about what the tarot is, and what it isn't, what it will do, and what it won't. If you find yourself drawn to open the door to your subconscious using this particular key, we can set up a reading. I offer professional tarot readings, as well as tutoring sessions to get the most out of professional tarot readings, or begin the journey to read the tarot yourself. I'm also available to read the tarot at parties or other events.

Private tarot readings and tutoring sessions start at $45, and last about an hour.

 

Writing

Aside from my blog, Living Omily, I'm working on two books, and a tarot interpretation zine which will be coming soon! I'm available to contribute to blogs, or zines, and would love to help you put your own thoughts into words for your website, or other use. I'm also happy to review products and services on my blog.

 

Reiki

Reiki is a bountiful balancing, life-affirming energy that is all around us. Being attuned to this energy, I'm able to channel it directly through my crown chakra, out of my hands, and into another person, animal, entity, or situation. Reiki works first and foremost on the energetic body. It removes blocks, heals, opens, soothes, and balances. From there it moves into the physical body, doing the same things there that it did in the energetic one. Reiki is a complementary practice to western medicine, not an alternative. It can bring relief and peace to anybody, and aid in healing and comfort for any condition or situation… It was a godsend when I lost the cat I'd had since early childhood, allowing me to accept the situation, release Simon and myself to our future journeys, and subsequently re-open my heart and heal. For the record, you don't have to believe in it for it to work; think of it as an energetic massage…
