Starfish have the ability to heal and regenerate any part of their body. They symbolize the resilient capacity in the natural world to grow and evolve in challenging situations.

Our services do not replace, but rather supplement, traditional medical treatments and therapies. We employ only complementary health techniques and methods which use the senses of touch, smell, hearing, taste, and sight to help participants experience feelings of relaxation, happiness, warmth, and safety - the basic feelings essential to a fulfilling life.
