Private Sessions

Immerse in personalized experiences with our extraordinary specialists

Whether you are coping with change or looking to make it, our broad private session offerings help you create balance and nurture wellbeing.

Sometimes you want the energy, support, and camaraderie of a group. For others, personal is preferable. Most of our activities are available as private sessions, which give you the opportunity to work one-on-one with our world-class specialists, who offer tools for navigating change, elevating health, processing grief, and more.

GUIDED GROUNDING PRIVATE

Harness the earth’s energy to balance body, mind, and spirit with an eco-ethically produced ground sheet and topical gel to enhance its effects. This is a great technique for alleviating pain, insomnia, inflammation, anxiety, or imbalance. The recommended daily allowance is 40 - 180 minutes.

RELATIONSHIP TOOLKIT

We all need communication tools in our relationships, from newlyweds and friends to longtime partners, family, or co-workers. Learn how to make joint decisions, mitigate conflict, or understand each other better. Rather than debating fault, you can gain practical tools for addressing conflicting thoughts, emotions, or values.
