Malibu Holism Method
Intention setting
We begin each session with a cleansing, smudging practice using sage or Palo Alto. Then, once I’ve made sure you’re comfortable, we focus on breathing exercises. This will naturally lead us into a space for pure intention setting.
Move the body
Next, we will go through yoga sequences that are designed specifically to meet your needs and goals. We practice Vinyasa, Yin, or Restorative yoga, or a combination of your choice. You will enjoy aromatherapy and select the organic, essential oil that speaks to you.
Reiki healing
One of the final elements of our time together is reflection and relaxation through Reiki healing. Reiki is a process where the healer acts as a conduit for energy. I will lead you to unblock your chakras and access the parasympathetic nervous system.

60-minute, private session
It all begins with you. We will have a pre-session consultation to discuss your goals and intentions. I am happy to help you formulate ideas on how to get the most out of our sacred time together. To begin, I provide smudging with sage or Palo Alto. During each holistic offering, I will give an explanation of the benefits. After the cleansing smudging, I will make sure you are comfortable for a short, guided meditation and a thorough restorative yoga practice. After Savasana, you will remain in a prone position for a soothing Reiki energy session.
*If online, Aromatherapy isn’t included, but I encourage you to have your own essential oils.
90-minute, private session
This time is created for your optimal spiritual awareness and relaxation. Your session begins with sage or Palo Alto smudging. I will lead you in an optional peaceful chant to access the heart and mind chakras. Your awareness will come into the present as we select and distribute essential oils on pressure points. This is in preparation for a gentle, guided meditation with Mudra before flowing into our yoga practice. Through movement of the body, we will examine your soulful intention and elevate the mind. Once in sync with the body, you will lie down for Savasana followed by concentrated Reiki healing and sound therapy. This session can be beautifully designed for a couple. Price per person.

Malibu Holism Reviews
“I have taken various yoga classes with several teachers. Denae is hands down the best teacher. She does a great job explaining why each pose is beneficial. I find I learn something new each time I take a class with her. Her experience is intuitive and spiritual.”
— Melissa N.
“Sports are important to me so I was surprised that I enjoyed meditation and Reiki so much. Both holistic practices help you connect mind with body, which enhances ability. Denae is an amazing guide in that journey.”
— Wade S.
“Denae is an excellent yoga instructor. She listens to me about any limitations and encourages me to “stretch” myself in poses while paying close attention to my body. Before every session, Denae checks in to see how I am feeling. I have gained strength in my upper body and core, which has been my goal. Holism with Denae is a perfect complement to my daily physical, spiritual and emotional practices.”
— Jill L.
FAQs

Having worked in the television industry on-camera for almost 20 years, I understand the importance of discretion. My clients are my utmost priority and protection of their privacy is paramount. I will be happy to provide a current background check and consider non-disclosure agreements as needed.

We meet at the location of your choice. Do you have a patio or outdoor space that speaks to you? Perhaps you would like to enjoy Somatic Therapy while practicing on the beach. You will choose where you would like to experience holism.

We have strong currents of energy in our bodies. For example, the sun provides energy and all energy can be transferred. As a trained and certified Reiki Master, I act as a channel to move your energy throughout the body. This assists with unblocking chakras, cleansing an aura, relaxation, healing of the body, and elevated spirituality. “Reiki” is a combination of two Japanese symbols. “Re” is “divine” and “Ki” is “energy.” Reiki healing can be thought of as the guidance of divine energy for positive purpose.

Absolutely. Some of my favorite work is with those who may be just beginning in their spiritual journey. We will enjoy the sounds of the waves, smell different essential oils, stretch, and practice relaxation techniques that you can take with you to try during your busy week. I conform to your needs and the holistic practice supports your goals. If you would like to try yoga poses, Reiki and/or sound healing, we go at your pace

Your body is a miraculous and beautiful creation. We are simply clay. However, I fully understand the desire for change. Evolution in our body, mind, and soul is natural and exciting. Beginners are welcome and encouraged to get in touch with any questions. I am a humble guide and will only encourage you on your way.

No problem at all! We will work together to design a private session that meets live, on-line. In Reiki training, Masters train on how to also conduct remote healing sessions. I will include that option as you desire. The other aspects of our sessions (including Smudging but excluding Aromatherapy) can be performed remotely.
