Touching Essence™

Touching  Essence™ is a multi-sensory, multicultural approach to healing thru touch. It combines the physical with the metaphysics, engaging the energies of chakras and meridians. This work has been developed over the last 30 years at Esalen Institute and in Bali.

Touching Essence™ engages both giver and receiver to deepen awareness and presence.

The focus is to access these powerful energy centers through a combination of touch, scent, and sound. Working with sound/vibrations, essential oils and massage techniques, we impact both subtle and deep layers of the body helping the individual to achieve a sense of integrated well-being.

Cupping Service

Cupping

Cupping is an ancient method of healing that has proven to be especially effective for treating acute and chronic back pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, sprains and swellings, digestive disorders, colds and flu, bronchitis, allergies, asthma, immune disorders, neurological disorders and many more. Special silicone or glass cups, when placed on the skin create a strong pulling force due to their vacuum effect. The suction is said to draw out toxins and help relieve pain, by increasing blood flow and oxygen in the tissues. This can gently break up adhesions and reduce scar tissue.

Bianca doing Aquatic Bodywork

"Bianca has a magical touch, using the nurturing long Esalen strokes plus just the right amount of pressure.  Gently, lovingly, she “listens” for what is called for and tenderly attends to all areas while being sure to cover the entirety so that nothing is missed. Bianca seems always to intuitively know just what the body needs. I have had many massages in my lifetime, and Bianca is by far the best.  I feel very fortunate to have found her!"
