Reiki | Yoga
Sandi Hoover
Aura Cleansing uses a combination of breathwork and guided mediation to clear the energetic centers of your body. Sessions will run approximately 20 minutes.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Rieki Master Sandi Hoover has been practicing and/or teaching Reiki for 15 years. Whether you're new to energy work or been practicing it for year, you're in good hands.

Holistic health Consultation
Lindsey Coyne
Lindsey’s relationship with plants, and the healing and nourishment they provide, runs deep. Lindsey has been formally trained in nutrition, dietetics and herbalism, as well as following her own rigorous exploration in experiential learning with plants over the last decade. Lindsey also serves her community as a rural doula.
Lindsey understands the body as a living system, and thus her approach to working with those in need is to understand a person's issues in their entirety as opposed to treating just a specific aliment. She is a quintessential holistic healer.
Book a session with Lindsey to explore how plant medicine and nutrition can assist with any mind + body + spirit issues you’ve been struggling with.

Body Work
Allison Dovre
Allison became a healer because she found out that she loves inspiring "ah-ha!" moments.
‘I love helping people reach their goals. I have somewhat figured out how to do through being; we are human BEings, not human DOings, after all! I found out that I can have subtle conversations with bodies, and that my hands and feet can hear pain in levels to find root causes. I found out that I will pull all nighters to research human experiences, and that my particular flavors of healing are vast because the accumulation of pain and healing in my own experience as a human has been vast. I found out that guiding people to their own answers when they ask for it is the sweet spot of building confidence and tangible results.
The following techniques are the ones that resonate the most with Allison’s approach, and she will tailor your session to your specific needs:
Hatha Yoga Vipassana Shiatsu bodywork Neuromuscular/ MFR Assisted Stretching Flow movement wellness practice.

Massage + Oracle Cards
Shelby Jones
In my treatments for Pollinate I will utilize Himalayan hot stones in conjunction with aromatherapy. We will go deeper in the body work with focused intention guided by oracle cards. My goal is that my treatments help you let go of what is no longer serving you and embrace who you are as a whole.
