All Services with Claudia V.

Meditation is a timeless practice that involves focused attention, mindfulness, and deep relaxation to promote mental clarity, emotional calmness, and enhanced well-being. By directing our awareness inwards and momentarily disconnecting from the external world, we can achieve a state of inner peace and self-awareness. 

There is a misconception that to meditate means sitting in an uncomfortable position for hours at a time, unaffected by your environment or body while keeping the mind blank. This is simply not true. Anyone can meditate and everyone can benefit from it. 

There is no universally accepted definition of meditation but all forms are based on engaging in mental exercise. 

I will be your meditation personal trainer, crafting a meditation practice based on your desired outcome.

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing practice that uses natural plant extracts, typically in the form of essential oils, to promote physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.

There are many types of aromatic oils used in aromatherapy, all with unique properties and benefits. I use a combination of essential oils (aromatic plant oils), extracts, and tinctures creating a pleasant, soothing atmosphere that promotes a sense of well being, relaxation, and balance. 

During your session I will create a custom blend specific for your needs, educate you on how aromatherapy supports your wellness, and how to implement it in your life. You can use your custom blend during meditations, at work or home, applied to skin, inhaled or diffused.  

Benefits of Aromatherapy:

• Stress and Tension Reduction
• Enhancing Relaxation and Sleep
• Mood Enhancement
• Skin Care
• Immersive Relaxation
• Natural Comfort
• Digestive Support
• Immune Support
• Respiratory Support

Sometimes called Death Doulas or Death Midwives, End of Life Doulas help facilitate a good death. What that entails is different for every person and I work tirelessly to communicate the patient’s desires to family members, friends, the medical team and non-medical support staff alike. I also help with logistical planning, holistic treatments, and comforting practices for both the patient and their family. 

As an esthetician embracing a holistic approach to skincare, I believe the skin is an indicator of what’s going on within your body. Using facial mapping analysis, I will help you create a road map to a more vibrant you, inside and out. I’ll share the importance of self-care and how natural skincare, daily regimens, and ancient techniques can give the skin and body a nourishing boost that goes beyond the surface. Skin is our largest and most exposed organ of the body & serves as a canvas of our life story. What is your story telling you?
