Thai Yoga Massage combines acupressure and massage in assisted yoga-like postures. Thai Yoga Massage is based on the flow of energy through the body. The practitioner compresses, pulls, and stretches the student's body to promote energy flow. In this form of massage therapy, a practitioner may use their hands, forearms, elbows, knees, and feet to apply deep muscle compression, stretch deep muscles, and stretch the whole body. It's performed on a thick massage mat on the floor and the client is fully clothed. Thai Yoga Massage relieves stress, improves range of motion, and enhances flexibility.

Here are your 2 favorite exercises blended together!

Why Pilates? Think better posture, stronger body, improved balance and alignment and deeper breath. By integrating movement with breath, Pilates helps students walk and sit taller, more confidently and with more body awareness. Better posture results in less back pain and less chance for injury due to falls or imbalances in the body. Mind-body movement enhances neuroplasticity in the brain, which enhances brain function as we age. Add weight bearing exercise including standing, balancing, shifting plus resistance bands and weights to improve muscle tone, and you have the workings of a total body strength class.  

Why yoga?  By integrating yoga between the Pilates routine, we create a healthy flow, contrasting dynamic movement with ease and relaxation.   Exercises alternate between standing and laying or seated on the mat, and are integrated with Stott Pilates® principles to lengthen the torso, enhance cardiovascular system through systemic breath work and strengthen core muscles. Bring exercise/yoga mat and the following equipment:

Please bring a mat, 2 toning balls of 1, 2 or 3 pounds, a flexband and a 10" mini-stability ball.

PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE FOR SEPTEMBER SOUND BATH!

Held on the 2nd Sunday of each month.

The power of sound meets the essence of healing in this sound bath experience. Sound is believed to have the ability to move lymphatic fluid, relax muscle and fascia, break up scar tissue, regulate the central nervous system by toning the vagus nerve, and build new limbic pathways that can help heal from trauma and addiction. Come and see for yourself how sound healing can benefit your body and mind!

Julia’s sound meditations always begin with the powerful resonance of crystal singing bowls, each tone carrying with it the potential for deep relaxation and release. These soothing vibrations have the ability to calm the nervous system and balance our chakras, easing tension and stress from both body and mind. Feel the weight of the day melt away as you surrender to the healing embrace of sound.

Every one of Julia’s sound baths is unique, incorporating a variety of instruments. Instruments that you may experience in these sound baths include RAV drum, frame drum, rattles and shakers, chimes and bells, gong, shamanic flute, and many others. Each session will begin with a short mantra practice and end with affirmations. These are incredible healing practices that you can use at home to continue on your healing journey. We hope you will leave these sessions feeling empowered to heal!

This immersive workshop is designed to help participants release energetic and emotional stagnation from the seven major energy centers of the body. Participants are encouraged to focus on each energy center as they experience the corresponding vibrational resonance. 

The workshop begins with a brief overview of the chakras, providing insight into their qualities and how they influence your well-being. It is then followed by a transformative 50+ minute sound journey, with approximately 8 minutes dedicated to each chakra.

As you focus your awareness on each energy center, Joseph will play didgeridoos tuned to the specific keys of the chakras, supported by the soothing tones of concert-pitch contemporary Himalayan singing bowls. This will create a harmonious and clearing vibrational field. The workshop concludes with an opportunity for reflection, questions, and discussion

A Free Monthly Gathering for Compassionate Connection and Renewal

This group takes place on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 4-5 pm.

Caring for a loved one can be both meaningful and overwhelming. Guilt, resentment, and exhaustion often take root, leaving caregivers feeling unseen and alone. This free monthly group offers a safe, supportive space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. You’ll leave each gathering with practical strategies to lighten your load and the comfort of knowing you are not alone in this journey.

Each gathering follows a simple, nourishing rhythm:

• Grounding practice to release stress and arrive in the present moment.

• Check-in and sharing—a chance to be heard and understood by others who truly get it.

• Mini-teaching from Pamela on topics like shifting from guilt to compassion, setting boundaries, or rebuilding self-esteem.

• Discussion and reflection—time to connect, share experiences, and apply new insights.

• Closing exercise to leave you centered, calm, and supported.

Themes rotate each month, so you’ll gain fresh tools and perspectives while building lasting community. This is not therapy—it is a circle of support, presence, and renewal, where caregivers are reminded of their value and guided back to themselves.

Who is it for?
Family caregivers, especially those feeling burnt out, isolated, or struggling with guilt, resentment, or self-doubt. Whether you care for an aging parent, a partner, or another loved one, you are welcome here.

About Pamela Dussault 

For over 20 years, Pamela has guided individuals through crises such as caregiver burnout, estrangement, and major life transitions—helping them uncover strength and possibilities they never knew were within them. She is known for creating safe, compassionate spaces where people feel truly seen while being gently guided toward clarity, resilience, and peace.

Her approach blends somatic mindfulness, mindset reframing, and compassionate boundaries, giving caregivers practical tools to release guilt, rebuild self-esteem, and restore balance. Pamela’s gift is her presence—reflecting back the strength within others and empowering them to reclaim purpose, confidence, and joy.

Join Karen Campbell, grief counselor and energy healer of Grief & Healing Connections, for an hour of meditation and energy healing.

During this healing circle, we will focus on healing within ourselves. When we heal within ourselves, we bring our healing to the world around us. Dedicating time to ourselves is self-care, it is an endeavor that is needed in our lives. The energy healings of Melchizedek and Reiki serve to activate the healing within our being. Energy healing reminds us of our connection to the source of all energy, to that which is greater than ourselves. During meditation and energy healing, we reconnect with our true self that is often stifled beneath layers of stress and imposed conditions.

During this Healing Circle for Self, Karen will lead both quiet and guided meditations. During a guided meditation, Karen will unite the circle in the Melchizedek Healing Method. During quiet meditation, Karen will share Reiki healing with each individual. Participants need only to be present and seated comfortably. Participants are asked to dress for their comfort. Air conditioning will be in use, please bring your own blanket or warm outerwear.
