  • Heliotropic Healing Co
1 CranioSacral Therapy Session
Invalid Image LinkInvalid Image Link
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch healing approach that can create dramatic improvements in your life!

CST involves assessing the whole body and encouraging the body to release deep tensions in order to reduce pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. Your body can only handle so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. CST allows the entire body to relax and self-correct. By freeing the body to perform at its best, CST naturally reduces pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well-being. Clients are able to relax while fully clothed and under a sheet and/or blanket on a massage table for the entire session. CST can be used for relaxation or to help with specific issues such as chronic pain, headaches, insomnia, or any stress-related issue, including post-traumatic stress. Some clients have even reported trippy experiences and visions, including one who said they saw purple angels and received a message from Jesus during their session!

Dinner a la Becky
Invalid Image LinkInvalid Image Link
I am a foodie and a chef.
When I cook, there's no food left.
Actually that's a little white lie because I always make an Xtra large batch,
Whether it's grilled watermelon salad or Scampi with Pasta homemade from scratch.
I rarely cook the same thing twice,
So choosing my menu this early won't suffice.
In June, I may not be able to find squid for Calamari,
I might stick to chicken with goat cheese wontons and tamari.
You're welcome to let me know if you have menu restrictions
Or give requests to feed your desires and addictions.
Such as chocolate almond cheesecake,
Or anything else you'd like me to create.

(Swimming before or after the party is welcomed; maybe you'll play pool badminton with me after dinner.)

Your own Private Pool Party
Invalid Image LinkInvalid Image Link
Have access to a private pool for a children's or an adult party day or evening. This is a volleyball pool, so you can swim laps, fill it to play on both ends. I can put up the volleyball net for volleyball or badminton. I will provide drinks and a light snack. We mutually agree on a date. I have been told several times that this is the auction's best kept secret. I have a really nice shaded (night lit) deck if you want a picnic.

If this is a children's party, you need to be responsible with enough chaperone's.
(Note, no chips or crackers by pool because that creates a steady stream of ants for many days. Adult appetizers with plates are fine.)

Baking Fancy Holiday Cookies Gingerbread snowflakes, guava go-gos, panellets, chocolate ganache thumbprints! Join me for a cooking lesson that is offered virtually by Zingerman’s. My registration is for one device but allows me to have additional participants in my kitchen. I will provide all the ingredients. We’ll bake the cookies with the help of the instructor, and you’ll get part of each batch to take home. Additional descriptions of the cookies can be found at the Zingerman’s Bake! website. Being able to complete everything in one afternoon will require some choreography, so this will be suitable for experienced bakers. I have a cat who may say hi. Tasty nibbles will be available to keep you going through the lesson. The workshop will last all afternoon; plan to be at my place about 12:45-5:30. 2 000060.0 60 .0003E7 30 12/14/24 1:00 PM
