Best Body-Workers in Boulder, Colorado
Joy Om ~ who has been cultivating her healing practice for almost thirty years ~ offers a powerful combination of Rolfing, cranio-sacral therapy, and structural energy balancing, working from the most dense aspects of our Being (i.e. the muscles, bones & connective tissue) to the most subtle (the prana/qi flowing through our nadis/meridians). Her additional training in psychology offers the potential for verbal processing to be part of the sessions ~ a kind of “spiritual counseling” which is profoundly nourishing. The cost for a seventy-five minute session with Joy is $100. Insurance is accepted, when applicable, and payment plans are available. Joy’s office, in the Heart Fire Healing Center, is located in downtown Boulder, Colorado at 1143 Portland Place, Suite #3. She can be reached by phone at 303-449-8664 or email at joyom@indra.com.

Susan Manchester ~ one of Boulder, Colorado’s best-kept secrets ~ has training not only in Swedish massage, Rolfing (aka Structural Integration), and cranio-sacral therapy, but also has received training from both Dr. Kam Yuen and Dr. Zhi Gang Sha (author of Soul Mind Body Medicine) – two of the world’s most renowned practitioners of medical qigong. The result, as with Joy Om, is the capacity to address imbalances at the physical as well as energetic levels. Susan’s intuition is highly developed, and her presence profoundly nourishing. Her connection to Shamanic traditions & practices is also strong, and one feels the wisdom & energy of the natural world ~ with all of the nature spirits and elementals ~ flowing strongly through Susan’s work. The cost for a ninety-minute session, on a sliding scale, is $110 – $80. Susan’s office is located on Broadway just one block north of Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, downstairs from Om Time Yoga. To schedule, please phone 303-746-5358.
Elizabeth Reninger (yours truly!) offers sessions in tuina (meridian-based massage), qigong/energy-balancing, and Esoteric Acupuncture, a combination which ~ once again ~ allows imbalances to be addressed at both physical & energetic levels. Esoteric Acupuncture, a system developed by Mikio Sankey, incorporates principles of sacred geometry and the Hindu chakra system into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and is intended as support for the client’s spiritual unfolding. Tuina is a medium-depth form of massage (similar to Shiatsu) and, in combination with Swedish massage, is a tool for both energetic balancing and physical detoxification. Elizabeth’s many years of yoga & meditation practice manifest as a deeply-felt clarity and kindness, and infuse the sessions with a potent gentleness. The cost for a seventy-five minute session is $80; or a series of five sessions for $325. Elizabeth practices out of Mandala Integrative Clinic, located at 2516 Broadway in Boulder, Colorado. To schedule please phone 303-444-2357 or 720-596-9926. For more information about Mandala Integrative Cinic, please visit their website at http://www.bouldermandala.com
