Simple Path is a holistic healthcare practice specializing in energetic bodywork and holistic health education. We believe that when energy is balanced, you are healthy and fully present in your life. Our mission is to help you maximize your physical and emotional well-being through holistic practices, energetic bodywork and increased self-awareness.

There’s more to it… As Einstein found, everything is energy. Energy is life force. Each of us are energetic beings first and foremost. That energy pulses in specific currents patterns that ultimately form who we are…mind, body and spirit. Like our circulatory system, blocks in this energy flow can result in diminished health. Conscious awareness of this energy coupled with specific tools can bring this energy into balance to promote total wellness.

Energetic Bodywork
Energetic Bodywork is based on the concept of energy movement. When energy flow is unimpeded and is balanced in the body there is a reduction of stress and an increase of vital energy that promotes wellness and fights disease.

What can you expect during and after a bodywork treatment
Simple Path treatments are non-invasive and drug-free. Bodywork treatments are done with the client relaxing on a treatment table or sitting in a chair. Clients stay fully clothed and should wear loose comfortable clothes.

After the session:
Bodywork makes significant changes in your energetic field. You may feel some of the effects during the session and in the following couple of days as your energy adjusts to the shift in energetic patterns. Although energy movement is very subtle, you may experience calm, increased energy, fatigue or a sudden surge of emotion. Pay close attention to your body’s natural wisdom and it will guide you to what you need in the hours and days following your treatment.

Energetic bodywork of Simple Path is based on the healing principles of Polarity Therapy, Reiki, Polarity Reflexology, and Healing with Nature.

Polarity Therapy
The Polarity system of energetic healing is based on the movement of energy in the body’s electromagnetic field. It utilizes reflex and acupressure points to balance and restore the normal, healthy flow of energy in and around the body. Its health benefits include deep relaxation, stress reduction, pain relief, balancing, centering, increased energy and focus.



Reiki
Reiki is a natural healing technique that uses a gentle lying on of hands. A Reiki practitioner applies a very lighttouch, channeling universal life force energy to the recipient. The Reiki energy accelerates the person’s own ability to heal physical ailments and to harmonize the spirit and mind.

Healing with Nature
Accessing the energy of the earth is one of the most effective and powerful tools available to each of us. During your session, the Simple Path practitioner acts as a conduit between you and the energy of nature. As your own energy begins to attune to the vibration of the earth, your healing process begins. This type of session does not require the practitioner to touch you and is usually done while standing.

Polarity Reflexology
During a Polarity Reflexology session a Simple Path practitioner will work on your feet to access other parts of your body. As the reflex areas on your feet are manipulated, it initiates healing. The major benefits of Reflexology are: reduced stress & tension, unblocked nerve pathways and improved circulation. Reflexology detoxifies, and helps restore healthy functioning. It may also help to reduce or eliminate pain, aches, swelling, and stiffness. Reflexology can also speed the recovery process from surgery or injury.
