As a Touch for Health practitioner
Noelle also offers Energy Healing services. Energy Healing is a hands-on-healing approach that moves energy through the Chakras to restore balance and overall health, much like Reiki. As far back as childhood, your body has memories imprinted deep within the tissues and the endocrine system. Moving energy through the Chakras and a few simple home exercises will help release any blockages and will start you on your journey to better balance.
Noelle also offers Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT) developed by Gary Craig. This complimentary therapy allows you to heal emotional issues that show up in your body as dis-ease. EFT has been known and has been documented to heal emotional trauma such as childhood abuse and addictions as well as physical pain and disease. She has successfully cured her fear of heights and eczema using EFT.
"I believe the body has an innate ability to heal itself and wish to share my knowledge with you through various techniques including yoga, chakra balancing, EFT and touch for health. You are your own healer, I'm just the facilitator."
Noelle has combined her yoga knowledge, her Touch for Health and EFT skills as well as meditation and pranayama into a successful 5 month, 5 layer 'Living La Vita Yoga' program. This program is designed to heal the 5 layers of the human spirit.
