• Difficulty with relationships
• Sadness, grief or loss
• Low self esteem
• Compulsive behaviors such as addiction, shopping, overeating or spending
• Abuse and trauma

People may also seek psychotherapy during times of transition and stress, for personal growth and greater understanding. Karen employs a mind-body-spirit approach with traditional and non-traditional methods, including the creative arts therapies, psychodrama, guided imagery and other modalities.

The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure and activity. Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue and aims release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia.

For an appointment for massage, including hot stone massage, or to order gift certificates call Helene Hellesen at (262) 880-7594.

Reiki is a system of natural healing that provides deep relaxation and supports healing. A typical Reiki session is 45 to 60 minutes: the person receiving Reiki is lying comfortably, weariing clothes, while the practitioner gently acts as a facilitator for Reiki energies. Sometimes the hands are placed on various parts of the client's body to help channel the energy or hands are held several inches away from the client's body.  It can help reduce the effects of too much stress and anxiety on the body.

To make an appointment for Reiki, Reiki-ssage or Reiki-Reflex, call Helene Hellesen at (262) 880-7594.

Groups and classes offer tremendous learning experiences that are considerably more affordable than individual sessions. A better plus – interacting with like-minded people who want to learn and grow.
