Ojai Healing Movement

Ojai Healing Movement has moved! Our new location is behind the Arcade above where old Ojai Video used to be. We have five treatment rooms now and feature a far-infrared dry sauna (cutting edge in healing modalities) and zero-gravity chairs accompanied with Equisync binaural beats that balance the brain waves into the meditative states of Alpha, Delta, and Theta waves. These are contributions of my new business partner and ad-man (in his other life) Joe Cocke. His business is called "Sanctuary" and it is the new home of Ojai Healing Movement (OHM). His energy brings a balance of the masculine energy to my feminine energy and has created something even better!

Ojai Healing Movement is now collaborating with a variety of local practitioners. We are sharing our space, offering such treatments as art therapy with Renate Collins and Katie VanHorne, spiritual coaching with Jennifer Wilson, life coaching with Katherine McClelland, aromatherapy and myofascial release with Stacey Moss, a therapy called "Radical Undoing" with Garrett Daun, and massage therapy with my extraordinary friend David Johnson whose practice extends from Florida to Hawaii and Malibu.

Ojai Healing Movement hosted a booth at the Lavender Festival and delivered a signature treatment called the Lavender Chill. It was SO well received that we were giving treatments nonstop from 11-6pm! We have decided to offer this service all summer for a mere $22/treatment! People raved about it and we agree, it's the real deal, complete relaxation. Here's the scoop: Lavender Chill:
After being seated, you are automatically transported into zero gravity at the touch of a button. You are then handed a square of terry cloth that has been Infused with lavender essential oil and chilled. Whether you choose to lay it on your face, decollate or neck the aroma reaches and activates the relaxation centers of your brain allowing your whole body to respond by easing and letting go of tension. Another cloth is laid over one hand and squeezed and massaged into further relaxation followed by the other hand. Then, attention is given to the feet. Each receives the cold cloth and massage until you haven't an ounce of tension left.
After the chair is gently returned to the upright position, you receive a lavender hydrosol mist to the face hands and feet. Following this revitalizing shower, you are allowed to rest until ready to return to the hustle and bustle of life refreshed. Time: approx. 20 mins. Price: $22

This is a summer special.

In the winter the treatment includes hot towels and the immune boosting essential oil blend of cinnamon, eucalyptus, lemon, rosemary, and clove.

There is an epidemic on the rise. . . men and women suffering from pelvic floor disorder (PFD). It includes such problems as urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse, prostate disease, and many varieties of pelvic pain. On Wednesday, July 20th @ 6:30pm I will be giving an educational lecture about why this is becoming so prevalent right now and what you can do to counteract and reverse these disorders. Once you understand the structure and function of the pelvic floor, you can easily make adjustments to the daily habits and body mechanics that are causing this malfunction on such a grand scale. This will be a package offer that includes the lecture and handouts, one myofascial release massage therapy session and a 6 class pass for Restorative ExerciseTM to help you learn and practice your new body mechanics all for only $99.

On a personal note, Ronelle shares what she loves about Ojai
: "What I love about Ojai??? What's not to love? I love the Ojai weather (a 5th generation Californian, I served 10 years in Massachusetts as a youngster) I know how to appreciate Ojai weather. The cradle of the mountains takes my breath away every time I look up. There is so much variety in the way the mist and sunlight and clouds drape themselves over the landscape, it looks like a painting. The people are seekers of the truth. Many locals do not abide shallow conversation, but share themselves deeply and authentically. I love the slow growth. Ojai does not suffer overgrowth and it isn't long before you realize how easy it is to find somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody you know. I am so grateful to have found my way here and I plan to stay."
