Beginning Yoga Consultation
With Stephanie
The classes in Yoga are broad and sometimes vague so, you feel confused about where to start! Dont fret! We have all been there. This service is for people who want to begin taking Yoga classes, but unsure where to start.
During this consultation you will be able to share what you are looking for, any concerns you have around health or physical injuries and you will be able to ask any questions you might have in a 1:1 setting with a qualified Yoga Teacher.
We will then either set up a small semi-private beginner’s class for you and a few others beginning where you are at or recommend which of our existing classes would be good for you to attend and then connect you with that teacher!
We will get you set up in our space, register you into our system with waivers and our payment system, so that in the future all you need to worry about is coming to your class!

Biomagnetic Balancing
with Sarah Atwater
Biomagnetic balancing (also called Biomagnetic Pair Therapy) is a holistic modality using pairs of rare earth magnets. By placing pairs of magnets on specific parts of the body, we can correct the body’s pH to optimize the body’s natural ability to heal itself. This modality was discovered in the 1980’s by Dr. Isaac Goiz Duran of Mexico City and used for decades with success. It is only recently becoming known in the United States.
Sarah uses biomagnetic balancing to work with physical symptoms, emotional struggle, trauma, and chronic health conditions. Usually these seemingly separate issues are all related in some way. Sarah’s unique methods work to clear out old patterns and bring in new, healthier imprints.
The number of sessions needed to resolve a particular issue varies from client to client and is influenced by the complexity and duration of the client’s health concerns. Two sessions, 1-3 weeks apart minimum are recommended. Complex conditions may require more than that. Once the client’s health has been restored, regular treatments every 6 months are recommended as a form of preventative health maintenance. Biomagnetic balancing can be used with other allopathic or holistic treatments, and while taking allopathic or natural medicines most of the time.
Snug fitting clothes and sock are required for your session!
Integrative CranioSacral Therapy
with Elizabeth Murichi, LMSW, MOAM
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) gently works with the spine, the skull, cranial sutures, and
fascia to ease restrictions of the nerve passages, release tension, and improve the
connection in the somato-sensory cortex. The fascia is a casing band found throughout
your body that holds the organs, glands, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, brain and
spinal cord. It forms a body-wide connective tissue network. This means that one area
of your body can affect another, and may help other connected parts of your body
function better through:
- Self-regulation
- Self-correction
- Self-healing
It is called “Craniosacral” because the work is centered around performing delicate manipulations on the bones of the head or “cranium” and lower spine or “sacrum”. These small movements help ease mental stress, neck and back pain, alleviate headaches, TMJ, fibromyalgia, and many other conditions. It harmonizes and balances the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord. Integrative Craniosacral Therapy works with the body, mind and spirit. Elizabeth uses shamanic stones, sound, somato-emotional release, and acupressure points to awaken our inner healer and support gentle shifts in the energetic field.
Craniosacral therapy in Chatham New York:
- Addresses the interfaces of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous
system, such as at the myodural bridge where tensions can be broadcast
up and down the entire dural system - Works with the body’s fascial network to improve representation in the
somato-sensory cortex
