Reiki Healing
Reiki Healing at Universal Healing Arts uses universal life force energy to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Practitioners channel energy through hands-on techniques to reduce stress, alleviate pain, and restore balance. This modality supports self-healing and is suitable for individuals seeking holistic wellness solutions through certified Reiki Masters.
Acupuncture
Classical Acupuncture involves precise needle placement to balance Qi energy flow. Treatments address chronic pain, stress, and emotional imbalances while incorporating complementary therapies like cupping and moxibustion. Sessions include personalized assessments and dietary recommendations to enhance overall health and vitality through traditional Chinese medicine principles.
Massage Therapy
Medical Massage combines Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Myofascial techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Certified therapists tailor sessions to address specific conditions like chronic pain or sports injuries. Treatments promote relaxation while enhancing physical mobility and reducing stress-related symptoms through targeted soft-tissue manipulation.
Tarot Readings
Tarot Readings provide spiritual guidance through symbolic card interpretations. Practitioners offer insights into personal challenges, relationships, and life decisions while maintaining an ethical focus on empowerment. Sessions help clients align with their intuition to navigate life transitions and uncover hidden opportunities for growth and self-discovery.

Feldenkrais Method lessons improve movement efficiency and body awareness through gentle, guided sessions. Functional Integration addresses mobility issues and chronic pain by retraining neural pathways.

I love this metaphysical shop. I have many beautiful crystals and jewelry that I love and purchased here and recently bought my husband a beautiful sacral singing bowl at a good price!
Shima and her crew are among the nicest people you would ever want to meet at a shop like this one. Their vibe is beautiful and she makes sure no one is every dissatisfied with a purchase. Everything is beautifully wrapped and fairly priced. I lost track of the number of crystals I purchased here! They do live shows on Facebook too and we recently hosted a live show as a fundraiser for a local food pantry. Shima
