Testimonial:
Hi Karyn,
Thank you so much for the wonderful teachings. I am using my new rocks from Sachuest and my clients are loving them and getting healed by them. I am so happy I met you and look forward to more in the future. I have not yet received a certificate for the 3 day class? If you send it in an e-mail, I can download it and print it. Would you put the name just as Jewell? That is what everyone knows me as, no last name. Thanks. Here is one of the photos I took of you. I am sending the whole folder through SENDYOURFILES, so look for that. I know you were not feeling well during the class, but know I got all the wonderful teachings, you are a generous and loving soul.
Love,
Jewell

Sacred Stone Therapists focus on anchoring the first and second energy centers in the body (chakras) and directing energy towards the "terminal ends" of the body. The sequence and layout of each stone makes this therapy distinctively Ayurvedic. The integration of our signature techniques such as gliding, spinning and edging with the stones, combined with western & eastern massage techniques, the client will feel grounded, centered and nurtured. This therapy is not a "light-touch" treatment, although it can be if that is the intention.
Our textured stones allow therapists to grip the fascia and provide, deep, structurally restorative treatments, without pain. Our stones are larger than most stones used in spas or training classes, hence, the weight of the stones provides natural compression therapy, which has been clinically shown to reduce anxiety and pacify the vata dosha. Our teachers do not use scary, unfamiliar Sanskrit terminology, so anyone can take this class and understand the science of Ayurveda. Students don't need to have any Ayurvedic background to take this class. Each student will have a chance to give and receive a full Sacred Stone Treatment.
The beauty of Sacred Stone Therapy is manifested in the compassion extended from the therapist to the client. This compassion becomes imprinted within the matrix of each stone.
