BONNIE McNAIRN
I love working with people on the somatic and energetic levels, addressing each person simply where they are. My approach varies with the needs of each session. Sometimes I give a vigorous deep sports massage; some sessions are gentle with long holds addressing ethereal levels. Most often I use a little of everything, drawing on intuition and experience to encourage relaxation, clearing and healing.

JULIA RUTH CLAUS
It is a gift for me to be in those quiet moments when I am transferring healing energy with therapeutic touch. My intention is to restore balance and equilibrium, born from compassion as well as a vivid sense of underlying muscle-tissue patterns. I administer Swedish and Deep Tissue massage in a soothing and relaxed manner, while my Acupressure treatments, based in Five Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine stimulate the energy of specific organ meridians to flow again in balance with each other, creating deep relaxation and sense of well-being.
The Shirodhara treatments I offer relieve strain and stress, can balance disturbances of mind, body and emotions, and help the client experience an exquisite state of detachment. It has been used in Ayurvedic treatments for centuries in India for ailments related to the nervous system, and is especially effective for fear, anxiety, nervousness, mental exhaustion and insomnia.
I am a graduate of the Taos School of Massage. I trained at the Ayurvedic Center for Well Being in Sarasota, Florida in Shirodhara technique, and have completed second degree Reiki training. I have received certifications in Five Element Acupressure from Samantha Jennings, D.O.M., at Northern New Mexico College and other certifications from New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts, White Cloud Institute, Scherer Institute of Natural Healing, and the Ayurvedic Institute.

MARCY PIERSOL
Since 1995 and my training at Santa Fe's well-known Scherer Institute, I have continued developing my work in hands-on healing and relaxation techniques. I combine aspects of Cranio Sacral Therapy, which profoundly calms the central nervous system, and Acutonics®, which introduces gentle vibrations directly to the skin by means of tuning forks specifically designed for moving congestion within the body. In 2001-02, I completed Second Degree Reiki (ray-key) studies. This technique revitalizes life force by dissolving patterns of held physical and mental energy using very light, gentle touch, with client fully-dressed and comfortably resting on the massage table.
These methods are particularly effective and may be combined with more physical treatments, rooted in Swedish techniques, which increase circulation with firm, classic massage strokes.
For a completely satisfying change of pace, enjoy a spa treatment with high quality, herbal and natural products. Treatments include: facials, hot rocks and foot wraps.
I feel really sorry for you because your work is so amazing and you will never be able to experience your own massage!"
It was worth every penny! Whenever I come here (Taos), I'm coming HERE!"
