Singing is the language of the heart. Over 26 years of singing and 21 years of teaching voice in four states has taught Isa the importance of the human voice. She has discovered one way to open the divine potential and connection that is within each of us - the voice. Each day brings new knowledge and new possiblities to learn. When we sing, we can't hold anger or animosity. We become clear channels for divine loving energy.

Who knows what might be possible if we all discover what our singing voices have to tell? Isa combines voice with other Sound Therapy tools and Polarity Therapy touch to create a unique holistic session that resets the nervous system. She offers Therapeutic Massage with Swedish Relaxation Techniques and ADD ONS in Sound Therapy. She also teaches classes in these therapies and Sound Playshops to learn how to use the tools.

This choir sings beautiful music each Sunday at 11 am, and will be presenting the John Rutter "Gloria" on Sunday, December 16th with a 10 piece Brass, Percussion and Organ instrumental ensemble.

Three types of touch make up the practice of Polarity Therapy:
Satvic (soft, light) Touch,
Rajasic (rocking) Touch, and
Tamasic (deep point specific) Touch.
These three types of touch work in conjunction with the client's energy to help support ease and flow.

The presence of the elements of Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth can also offer protocols to tailor a session specifically to the client's needs at that moment.

A client may experience a range of feelings such as warmth, tingling, or a sensation of movement, and in a some instances, relief from physical pain or emotional trauma. Each session varies according to the needs of the client.

Massage Therapy is a type of bodywork that brings many benefits for the client. Clinical Studies have proven that Massage is helpful for anxiety, pain, muscle soreness, boosting immunity, and self esteem.It can relax, soothe the nervous system, ease stiffness and tension, improve circulation, increase a sense of well being, and help deepen breathing allowing more oxygen for the body system. Today, with hectic schedules and work, so much time is spent in the sympathetic "fight or flight" part of the nervous system. This frenetic lifestyle can leave the shoulders tight, the body amoured, and the back aching. Massage can put the client into the parasympathetic "receptive, meditative" part of the nervous system and can start to work out the tensions that daily life creates in the muscles. The effects of massage are cumulative, so the best benefit is from a series of sessions received at a regular interval.
