Star Poem Reading
with David Tresemer - Founder
What qualities streamed into you at your first breath? How can you work with these imprints to benefit this earthly sojourn? Who are the Star Brothers and Star Sisters from whom you can learn?
When you accept that your first breath (a.k.a. birth) was not random, it opens you to intimate conversation with the spirit-side of you that intended this particular birth-day, this particular quality. Based on years of research about each of the 360 gates (degrees) of the heavens, David Tresemer will guide you through an experience of the "star poem" of your birth, as well as the conditioning influences of the planets at that time.
Price: $370 (1 hour)

Rolfing® Structural Integration Bodywork
Rolfing® is the original method of Structural Integration. It is an holistic approach that utilizes soft tissue manipulation and movement education to realign the body in the earth’s gravitational field. Much like a sculptor works with clay, a Rolfer™ applies hands-on pressure to the body’s living, malleable system of fascia (connective tissue) to lengthen, invite fluidity, and release restrictions and patterns of tension.
