As a graduate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in December 2011 I am now offering this service to assist my clients in achieving their goals for health. I will work with you to assess what you need to nourish your body, mind and soul as I support and coach you through the process with nutritional goals, fitness goals, lifestyle changes whether in work, finances, spirituality or relationships. Are you a busy woman dealing with mid-life changes ? The program is based on bio-individuality tailored just for you in ways that are best suited for you so that you actually enjoy making the changes. You won't attract a better life if you are not nourishing your body, mind and spirit with health and wholeness. First hour consultation is absolutely free, no pressure, and no obligation to you in any way. I promise! My background, training and years of experience in both the allopathic and holistic health fields gives me a strong foundation as your health counselor. You have the benefit of utilizing sound, massage and energy therapies along with your individual, 3 or 6 month program. Group sessions or partner sessions are also an option. A special program for massage and energy therapists is available to coach you in reaching your own health, lifestyle and business goals. We work together to formulate a plan that is sustainable for you in your investment of time and money. I look forward to hearing from you. ~ n a m a s t e ~

This relaxing unique foot massage uses a small bowl to stimulate and massage the feet and lower legs. It has been shown to increase overall circulation, enhance healing, reduce stress and tension in the whole body and is especially useful for those who do not want or are unable to receive a full body massage. Lana is a certified practitioner of this unique Indian modality. This service may be purchased as a stand-alone modality or used in combination with massage, sound or energy therapies as an add on service. Highly recommended for people who stand on their feet a lot, or for those who hold a lot of tension in their lower legs and feet, or for those who simply love a good foot massage.
Initial consult is totally free, no obligation whatsoever. We formulate a plan that will work for you to reach your goals not only with your practice, but in reaching your self-care health goals.

SOUND AND VIBRATIONAL THERAPY WORKSHOP -Introduction to the Fundamentals of Using Sound, Voice and Music for Healing in the Massage Therapy Practice, 2014 = 16 ce's at Sage Continuing Education Center for Massage Therapists and the Healing Arts, Lancaster, Pa. See sagecontinuinged.com for complete information on hours, tuition, location, details. Small class size, limited enrollment.
The Fundamentals of Using Sound, Voice and Music for Health
Introduction to Sound and Harmonic Therapy- A totally new and expanded class on Sound, explaining how sound turns matter and energy into form, and how to use a variety of instruments, your voice and recorded music for health. Learn how our thoughts as energy create what is happening not only in our lives in general, but throughout the the entire planet. No musical ability needed for sound therapy classes. Science and faith merge in these intriguing classes to teach you why sound is the basis for all creation. God SAID "Let there be...." Speaking is sound. Come learn more - you will never "hear" in quite the same way ever again. I have been utilizing sound therapy for many years and began teaching it to others 15 years ago. There is so much more to using sound as therapy than merely clanging a bowl or waving a tuning fork around the body. This class is ideal for giving you some hands-on experience with several instruments to see what resonates with you(literally!). It will help you decide which instrument you may wish to pursue in more depth. Course content includes: The effects of using sound, your voice, metal singing bowls, gongs, crystal bowls, tuning forks, shamanic rattles and shakers, recorded music, brain wave entrainment during healing/massage sessions, meditation, prayer, color, etc. I also draw from my many years experience as professional vocalist, former worship director, voice teacher, massage school teacher, and holistic practitioner. I have been fortunate to study sound and harmonic therapy with some of the best. Add Sound Therapy to your existing healing practice or for your own private use. Sound is the energy of creation. You will learn how to break through barriers, create what is needed in your life or assist your clients. Excellent modality for all healing practitioners. I began using Sound Therapy officially in my Massage practice 15 years ago and have seen first hand what a difference it makes, offering clients a whole new level of integrative modalities. Relaxing, pretty music is wonderful during a bodywork session and certainly helpful in assisting our clients with a relaxing, healing experience. Take your practice to the next level, and see the difference. Sound brought forth the world into being. It is powerful yet gentle energy. Feel free to contact me via phone or email for more details and to have info sent to you. These classes are Intensives as you will learn a great deal of material and hands-on practice in an investment that is affordable in terms of time and tuition. There are many great teachers and classes around. You will *know* which one is best for you. In recent years sound therapy has finally started becoming more well known. I am thrilled to have been a part of birthing this modality into awareness in the south central Pa. area and mentoring numerous students and some of the newer teachers. Please feel free to contact me with any questions ~ I look forward to hearing from you. Once you take this class, you may find that you wish to pursue specialized training in any one of the particular instruments. I work with a referral network of specialized teachers for the bowls, tuning forks, drumming, gongs and voice.

Especially for Massage and Energy Therapists or other Holistic practitioners:
The Message of Massage: Health and Happiness for Your Clients and You What does your practice tell people about your services? What can you do to build(or re-organize) your practice so that it survives no matter what the economy? Do you walk the talk? How healthy are you eating? And, how can you make your practice more comprehensive and professional? Do you have a consistent, loyal client base? Do you need to learn more about taking full advantage of social networking? This series of three four-hour sessions(12 hours total) will get your practice started in the direction of gaining momentum for building your dream practice, setting and reaching goals, ethics in today's world, or to jump-start your existing practice with innovative ways to rekindle the fire for a happy, healthy business....which means a happier, healthier you! You know about self-care - are you practicing it? Are you still eating cheeseburgers and french fries and drinking high sugar soda? Do you realize these low frequency foods actually deplete your energy and cause your overall signature frequency to be much lower, to be toxic not only to you but to your clients? We can only give out of our abundance and health. Otherwise our health suffers. You are taught this in massage school. Do you need some help? Some inspiration? Some practical, affordable changes?

Through entrainment the frequencies and tones can bring us to a more balanced, relaxed and less-stressed state of being.

Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, strengthened immune system and greater flexibility. Swedish massage can be light, moderate or firm, deeper pressure, or a combination. Gift Certificates are always available for any of the modalities and classes.
Sound Therapy utilizes the frequencies of voice, sound and music to bring balance and wellness to the body by entrainment. Throughout the ages, music, sound and voice have been effective in bringing about change in the lives of individuals and communities. "Music soothes the savage beast." King Solomon called for David to play for him when nothing else would calm his spirit. Shamans and healers from all cultures since the beginning of time have used drums, flutes, "singing" bowls, their voices and other instruments to encourage a healing environment. Sound Therapy can be used integratively with other massage, body and movement therapies to enhance the overall benefits. Besides the voice and special recorded music, instruments used are Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls, tuning forks, ting-shas, percussion instruments, gongs and bells, to name a few. Sound Therapy classes are also available for healers seeking an introductory certification in Sound Therapy by learning how to use sound, voice, music and color for health. Throughout the year, I present two tuition-free 90 minute basic introductory workshops on Sound Therapy. The most recent workshop filled up very quickly. Edgar Cayce said long ago that sound medicine would be the last dynamic frontier in medicine...we have entered that era several years ago and are making some great discoveries and advances. Ideal for massage and energy therapists to use integratively in their sessions. Anyone in healing work owes it to themselves and their clients/patients to understand how sound, voice and music assist in the healing process.

Neuromuscular therapy is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins. My NMT teacher studied with Paul St. John. This modality uses moderate to deeper pressure.
Energy work is based on science that everyone has a "life force", and that the body needs to sustain its balance for optimum health. Anytime you experience emotional or physical illness, it indicates that your life force or energy field has simply become unbalanced. I work directly with your energy field to restore balance so that the body is able to work more on healing itself. Once your energy field has been balanced and restored to health, your body will follow. "We get sick in our spirit before that imbalance manifests in the physical body." There are many different types of energy modalities. I have been trained at different levels in Healing Touch, Chakra Balancing, Polarity, Therapeutic Touch, Craniosacral therapy, Reiki, Sound Therapy and Aromatherapy Massage to name a few. If I am not trained in a particular modality, please call me and I will be glad to refer you to a therapist who is if you cannot find one on the AMTA Find-A-Therapist site. I believe strongly in the power of supporting and networking with other healthcare professionals.
The western Usui Reiki technique utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us or holding my hands over energetic patterns in your energy field to balance and restore your energy field. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain, according to the testimonials of thusands of clients/patients in documented research over the past 25 years. I have practiced Reiki for 18 years and am a Usui Reiki Master-Teacher. I also offer Reiki training on an individual or classroom basis throughout the year. I have developed a unique Reiki I and II intensive to save time and money for anyone wishing to learn how to use Reiki energy system. I believe that now more than ever people need to know how to utilize this energy for the good of themselves, others and our world. I have given at least 150 Reiki attunements since 1996. Email healthnmusic@aol.com for more info. Note: There are many wonderful Reiki and healing energy practitioners. You will know which one is best for you. With healthcare and the world situation, Now Is The Time to learn, to grow, to do what you can to help make our world a better place. ~ namaste ~
Former students' comments: "You are a wonderful teacher and a wonderful person. It was a spiritual experience as well as a lot of fun." "Thank you so much for having this class available in one day and at a cost I could afford. I wondered how it would be with concentrating so much in one day, but you did a great job of teaching us all that we needed in a thorough and concise way. Having us prepare ahead of time was helpful. Even though I had Reiki I before, this was worth taking it again just to get the Level II training from such an excellent teacher." "It was a wonderful day, and I am so glad I decided to take your class." "I took Reiki I before but didn't get as much out of it as I did in half the time in your class. You did not cut out anything important and gave us so much. My other teacher was different from you, but you are both good." "I have taken three Reiki and other energy classes. I just want to tell you that you are the best teacher I have had."
