Energy healing provides a multitude of benefits that holistically contribute to an individual's well-being. One of the primary advantages is the significant reduction in stress and promotion of deep relaxation, which fosters a sense of peace and calm. This practice is particularly effective in improving emotional balance and helping to release suppressed emotions, which in turn leads to better mood stability and emotional resilience.
Physically, energy healing can enhance the body's natural healing processes, aiding in the recovery from illnesses and injuries, and offering improved management of chronic pain. It also has the potential to boost the immune system by reducing stress and promoting overall energetic balance, thereby improving the body's ability to ward off illnesses.

The cedar bath ceremony is a powerful but gentle ceremony conducted by Indigenous women for individuals who have experienced trauma. The ceremony is done in a quiet room and the space and ceremony bundle is smudged down. In preparation, and for those experiencing the cedar bath for the first time, the conductor will provide information specific to what will happen during the ceremony ensuring that body sovereignty and consent will be confirmed throughout the ceremony.
Cedar water medicine is prepared before the ceremony beginning and the person receiving the ceremony will offer their prayer/intention while holding both cedar and tobacco to start the ceremony. One should bring a tobacco offering to the ceremony, whether it is ceremonial traditional tobacco, or if you are unable, commercial tobacco can be accepted. If possible, the person receiving the cedar bath should also bring something meaningful as an act of reciprocity. A gift can be something as simple as a snack, a story, medicines, or something special to you. Once this is done, the cedar is placed in the medicine and the tobacco, which will be offered to the pipe or smudge bowl, will be set aside. Ribbon skirts will also be provided if needed.
The person receiving the cedar bath is fully clothed at all times and is asked to recline into a prone position on a massage table that has been prepared by placing cedar covered with a red cloth. The person will then by covered by a sheet or a thin blanket with pillows at either the head or under the legs, or both, to maximize comfort. There may be soft music playing in the background.
Again, with consent, the conductor will soak facecloths in the warm cedar water and will place a facecloth at the back of the neck, on the forehead, over the eyes, on the chest and in each hand of the person. The conductor will then lay out four facecloths on the chest area of the person and then slowly and gently pull the facecloths over their body, ending at the toes and in that action, the medicine pulls off or lifts up pain, confusion, sadness, or whatever the body is holding onto. This process is repeated four times.
Once this is complete, the person is covered by a warm blanket and may be fanned down with feathers or a rattle may be used to complete the healing work. The pipe is lifted using the tobacco that has been offered or offered to the smudge bowl.
Both individuals will be receiving the bath and the conductor may receive visions/images of distress, illness or messages through the ceremony which may be shared.
