A standard treatment includes placing the hands on various areas of the body, such as the head, shoulders, stomach, knees and feet. People's experiences vary during a Reiki session; however, most people feel the energy as heat. They may feel tingling, vibrating or waves of energy from the hands of the practitioner. As the Reiki energy begins to release blocks caused by
tension, anxiety, fear, or other negative thoughts and feelings, some
people drift off to sleep or enter into a light dreamlike state. Some
see colors, report spiritual experiences and mystical visions. Please Call (571) 236-8096 or email Annie@AnamCaraWellness.com

CHAKRA BALANCING WITH CRYSTAL BOWL SOUND THERAPY: Chakra Balancing is a procedure that increases the healthy flow of energy through the chakras and the entire energy field. A balanced flow of energy through the aura creates greater physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Childhood traumas, limited belief systems, bad habits, cultural conditioning, physical, and emotional injuries can contribute to chakra blockage. Life is full of challenges and for each challenge there is a coping strategy. In a Chakra Balancing session, Marty will:
A session typically lasts an hour. You will leave renewed, energized, refreshed, and relaxed. If you are feeling ungrounded or light-headed, having trouble concentrating or communicating, feeling unusually hyper or fatigued, your chakras may be out of balance.

This modality combines focused breathing with light touch and healing mantras to create positive energy shifts in the emotional, mental, and physical body. The result is release of pain, anxiety, and emotional distress. Energy Restructure works within the chakra system, opening the gates to new, deeper levels of love, joy, freedom, health, abundance, and peace. The client remains clothed.

HYPNOTHERAPY AND REGRESSION THERAPY / PAST-LIFE REGRESSION Hypnotherapy and Regression Therapy are forms of energy work, in that they work with subconscious mental or emotional energy patterns or vibrations. Through deep physical and mental relaxation, the conscious mind becomes an observer as you access the light of your higher self. Your deep inner healer guides you in discovering and releasing the subconscious causes of underlying patterns or limitations that have been causing adverse circumstances in your life. Guided imagery and positive suggestion help you clear the inappropriate patterns (or energy blocks) that have been hampering your life. In the case of Regression Therapy, the subconscious energy blocks have resulted from one or more traumatic events in the past, which are brought forward and released during the session.
Self-hypnosis instruction is available for pain control, reinforcing desired behaviors, stress management, and as a preparation for surgery. For a hypnotherapy appointment, please contact Marybeth Spain by phone: 703-298-2692 (cell) or by e-mail at marybeth@lotusrosehealing.com. * As with any alternative-healing modality, all services are intended to complement rather than to replace necessary medical care.
“I've been going to Anam Cara for years and would not think about going anywhere else! Annie and her team are awesome! Everyone is very professional and they really care about you! Your session is customized to how you are feeling that day. If you haven't tried reflexology or Reiki, I'l highly recommend it that!
I have arthritis in my knees and after my session, I feel like I'm 20 again. The massages are amazing too! “Do you want to take a trip to a pleasant, far away place and never leave Vienna? Annie's abilities as a holistic body therapist will cause you to leave this place behind and find yourself on a tropical island, a library, or whatever place you feel safe, relaxed and refreshed. I cannot adequately utilize words to convey the healing and rejuvenation you will experience during a session with Annie. You WILL return over and over again to Annie for a refreshing and relaxing therapeutic session.” --J. Kell, January 2008 “My experience at Anam Cara was amazing. I honestly left feeling rejuvenated – like I was on Cloud 9! I look forward to more Reiki and reflexology treatments. I have also had some great results from the Forever Living products that were recommended to me. Thank you!” --J. Briggs “The lyrical precision of Annie's integrated massage felt as though my body was tuned up at the deepest cellular level." --L. Bergman “When Annie gave me a massage with Reiki, I was so relaxed afterwards that I felt like a completely renewed person. I also felt the warmth of energy swirling throughout my body. She is an amazing person as well as practitioner." --M. Payne “I highly recommend Anam Cara Wellness Services to anyone who wants to spend some time being pampered in a relaxed, elegant atmosphere. Both Kathryn & Annie are true professionals who are passionate about their work and truly believe in helping people take care of themselves. The ambiance is so tranquil that you won’t believe that you are in the heart of Vienna. If you are looking for a unique spa experience, try Anam Cara.” -- J. Freeman, Business Coach & Business Owner “Thank-you so very much for the most enjoyable and relaxing treatment I’ve had in a great while. Your heart comes out through your touch, and gentleness in your hands.” --Angela A., November 2005 "At the age of 29, I was suffering with chronic
pain and fatigue. There were days it was a chore to get dressed or
take a shower. Polarity treatment saved my life. I was taking a regiment
of drugs but I wasn't getting better. It wasn't until I began Polarity
treatment that I began to reclaim my life and get my body back. Those
sessions were the highlight of my week and nothing would prevent me
from making my appointment. During the sessions, I was able to escape
to a place without pain and dream of a life where I no longer winced
when I put my shoes on. My once broken body is fully healed and I
attribute my recovery to Maggie's love and the Polarity treatment.
I can't say enough wonderful things about this therapy!"

art developed in the early 1900's by Mikao Usui in Japan. It is an art
