Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a sleep based guided meditation which allows the body to deeply restore itself and balance excess stress. Using body, breath and awareness techniques the client is able to move from thinking and doing, to feeling and being.

It is said that 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra is as restorative as several hours of sleep.

Sessions are received lying down on a yoga mat, using whatever props will contribute to making the client warm and comfortable. Blankets, bolsters, and eye masks are made available and will contribute to the client’s comfort and stillness during the session. There is no physical touch given during a Yoga Nidra session. The energy and voice of the facilitator guides the client to enter profoundly deep states of consciousness.

Nancy facilitates private Yoga Nidra sessions for 1-3 people.

Reiki
Reiki assists the body’s natural ability to balance and restore itself at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “universal life force energy.” This traditional “laying on of the hands” healing art technique has been practiced throughout history; it was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui Sensei of Japan in the 1920’s.

Reiki sessions are received on a massage table with clothes on. Reiki is a gentle hands-on and hands-above the body relaxation technique that promotes stress-reduction, health and healing. The practitioner acts as the vehicle through which Reiki flows. Reiki, the energy itself, is the healer.

Tarot
The Tarot is a visual map of consciousness and a symbolic system that offers insight into the professional contribution, personal motives, and spiritual development of each individual. As a map of consciousness, the Tarot represents a facet of the total life experience incorporating the “practical-everyday world” with the spiritual growth and evolution of each person.
— A. Arrien

Nancy has used and studied Tarot for many years and approaches the cards as symbols from a psychological, mythological, and cross-cultural perspective. Just as psychological and spiritual information is revealed to us in dreams or contemplative states, the Tarot functions as an outer mirror of external experiences and internal psychological states as well. The Tarot deck that Nancy uses was illustrated by Lady Freida Harris, and it reveals the universal principles that are experienced cross culturally, not only from a Western perspective.

The foundation of Nancy’s work with Tarot is the belief that the symbols found on each Tarot card function as a way that the mind and heart can be opened to the wonder of what is going on with the individual, internally and externally at that moment in time.

Nancy offers several different types of Tarot consultations, and it is necessary to have a short phone call with her to discuss which best suits one’s needs and interests.

Nancy Campos
Nancy is a life-long student and practitioner of the healing arts. She offers Yoga Nidra, Reiki, and Tarot consultations. Her belief that the body-mind-spirit contains the wisdom to balance and heal itself informs all her work.

Nancy came of age in the late 1960’s and early 70’s in California. Being outside at the ocean or hiking in the mountains always provided profound experiences for her and allowed for greater connection between her personal inner world and the greater, all encompassing energy that surrounds everything that exists, visible and invisible.

Over the years, she has studied psychology, body mechanics, deep tissue massage, shiatsu massage, yoga, astrology, tarot, herbology, and Steiner Education.

These days Nancy mostly works with people on an energetic level although she always loved the more physical massage work, and is forever grateful for all that she has learned about the wonders of the human form. The greatest gift she has received and nurtured over the years is the awareness of the body-mind-spirit connection and the huge part Breath plays in uniting them. Her joy is helping others to find balance, integration and peace within their own body-mind-spirit.

Relax and Balance Massage
When the body is taken into a state of deep relaxation it allows it to release and let go so healing can occur. Using a combination of massage techniques and reflexology this treatment will help with pain relief, reduce symptoms of stress and calm the mind. It may relax or energise the body depending on your needs. A blend or individual essential oil may also be used as part of the treatment.

Hawaiian Hot Stone Massage
Using the wisdom of the four elements, earth, fire, air and water, this massage is used to soothe, heal and restore. The heat from the stones penetrate deep into the body, removing any blockages so the energy can flow freely, blood flow is increased and and pain is reduced. The rhythmical strokes take you into a deeper state of relaxation, softening and releasing tension in muscles and tissues. Finally ending with an auric cleanse and a blessing is given. This is a powerful and cleansing massage.

health and well-being. The needles are fine, disposable (single-use) and sterile. It is offered in a
program specifically designed for clients according to their state of being and specific health
conditions. It involves tiny needles being inserted just under the patient’s skin in carefully considered
areas to encourage energy flow. Acupuncture has proven to be particularly effective in treating
anxiety & depression, sleeplessness, muscle pain, restless legs, vascular conditions, detoxification & hormonal conditions, chronic fatigue, diabetes, arthritis and digestive disorders.

Valquiria’s acupuncture work began with studying and practising Chinese Medicine in London two

are applied lightly on the surface of the skin in specific patterns. No deep needling is done. It brings
harmony to the physical and energetic body assisting the natural power of innate self-healing.
