AROMATHERAPY
TIBETAN BOWL SOUND BATH

If desired, our session begins with "smudging." After a lit piece of sage or Palo Alto smolders, the giver directs the smoke around the receiver for cleansing. I base my smudging practice off of those performed by indigenous people of the Americas.
Warrior two is a pose that reminds us of stability and strength. We look towards the future while remaining steadfast in the present. Aware and ready.
My holistic sessions stretch to the ability of the client but are generally designed for beginners. Yoga is just one of the offerings.
Yoga mudra is a different form of yoga that can enhance a more traditional practice. A mudra is a symbol we create by touching at least two fingers together. This connects energy and the five elements of the body.
Reiki healing helps to move energy throughout the body, unblocking chakras.
Red Jasper is one of the minerals I use in sessions. It encourages us to pursue new goals, deal well in a conflict scenario, and approach negativity with creativity.
Box breathing calms the parasympathetic nervous system and allows us to still the fight or flight response. We practice box breathing during our session.
During Reiki and yoga, you will be guided in an intuitive meditation meant to restore positivity and clear thinking.
Yoga mats are provided for guests, or you're welcome to use your own. I have sourced high quality mats for indoor use and separate mats for outdoor use. All equipment is sterilized before the session.
Downward facing dog can relieve pain in various parts of the body if performed correctly. I offer subtle, hands-on adjustments or vocal cues (occasionally) for your poses. This is your choice. My goal is to cater to your needs.

  • Experience multiple affirming practices in one session with Malibu Holism. Through a combination of yoga, Reiki healing, meditation, smudging, sound therapy, and aromatherapy, I specifically focus on your wellness and spiritual goals.

MY 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.

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.”

This time is created for your optimal spiritual awareness and relaxation. We can elevate the vibration to be energizing as well. Your session will begin with smudging with sage or Palo Alto. I will lead you in a peaceful chant (optional) 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 (optional) before flowing into your choice of 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 shavasana followed by concentrated Reiki healing and sound therapy. This longer practice of holism also offers intuitive details such as refreshing organic green hibiscus tea and a cold, lavender-scented towel for your forehead (third eye).

FAQs

 

Where are Malibu Holism sessions held?

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.

What is Reiki?

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.

Reiki and meditation seem too nebulous for me. Can I still practice?

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.

I am concerned about privacy. What is your policy?

Having worked in the television industry on-camera for almost 20 years, I understand the importance of discretion. My clients are my upmost 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.

My body isn’t where I want it to be. What if I can’t practice yoga?

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.
