Iya's Holistic Bodywork

I question the client on what is their pending need in the session.  I explain how I work and that I try to tailor the session to their needs.  It is up to them if they'd prefer conversation or not during the session.  Since I culminate my session with my Reiki-like energy work I make them aware that if they feel a little drowsy or have a floating away feeling that they should just go with it. They are then left to relax for a few minutes and take it all in before the session is wrapped up.

As an ordained priestess of an earth based spirituality it is my duty to help others by sharing whatever gift I've been granted. I am happy to have discovered my gift of healing. I also studied Healimg Arts for a year at CUNY where I studied mycology and various massage techniques. I had already developed my own techniques years prior and continued on to provide non clinical and holistic bodywork and energy work instead. 

I was a bartender at such Broadway shows as "Cats" and "Fosse". Massage therapists routinely came in to service the cast between shows. However, all could not get serviced at once. For fun, I would "massage" cast members and thus was told I was good. I had no idea that this would be a calling!

As I mentioned, it all started with Broadway performers. But as I became aware and more confident in developing my gift and through word of mouth I went on to service sports professionals, power brokers, socialites, and all who desired relief from a hard day. I'm an equal opportunity bodyworker.

It always amazes me when an out-of-town client returns to NYC years later and seeks me out again because they remembered such a great session.  This has happened on numerous ocassions and is a testament to the work that I do.
