YOGA ON THE DOCK CLASSES
When Val and her husband James moved to this beautiful spot on the Mississippi river, they knew this amazing dock needed to be shared with the community in a special way. So Yoga on the Dock was born! Surrounded by the most breath giving beauties of nature; enjoy a unique yoga class on the river! Classes held on the Dock May-September.
INDOOR SMALL GROUP YOGA SLOW FLOW CLASSES

HOLY YOGA: Christian Based Yoga Classes
Holy Yoga uses Bible based meditations and Christian music inspiration as we move through the poses of a typical yoga class. This wonderful community is open to all and is held on the dock in the warmer months and at various churches during the colder months.

INFRARED SAUNA SESSIONS
This FAR Infrared sauna has benefits beyond what you might expect or imagine! Infrared light is a great deal more powerful than a traditional sauna. This is the deepest penetrating light on the light spectrum and works its way through muscle tissue, all the way to the organs for a deep detoxification of heavy metals, chemicals and pesticides. It relaxes the deepest, tightest muscle tissue and brings your nervous system into a more relaxed state. Improves circulation comparable to jogging several miles, increasing energy and metabolism, reducing anxiety, building stronger muscle tissue and helping cleanse and improving skin health. Book a single session or a 10 pack for all the benefits of infrared light.
IMAGE FACIALS AND SKINCARE
Learning to care for the skin and "age gracefully" is an important self care practice. The epidermis can reflect the health of the internal body and give us cues that we may need to care for the skin more holistically-from the inside as well as from the outside. IMAGE is a medical grade skincare line that uses natural ingredients to regenerate, heal, balance, and even help prevent premature aging. Book a custom facial with Val and she will asses your skin and choose the best products for your skin goals. Unfortunately she cant take on many new clients for skin treatments at this time. If you'd like to be added to her call list in case of cancellations please contact her directly with your general availability in case of new openings.
MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage Therapy can assist in the regeneration of every system of your body. It will help detoxify, relax the nervous system, stimulate better blood flow, soothe aches and pains, and even help prevent injuries. When received as a regular part of your self care routine massage therapy can change the trajectory of your future muscle health! Regrettably, Valerie is no longer able to take on new clients for massage; but to be added to her 'wait list' please send her your info and desired availability, should more openings become available.
