A tranquil space that offers holistic healing treatments and counseling.

What is the Rustic Room & who is it for?

The Rustic Room and services are for people looking to feel better in their body, mind and spirit. We treat each client as an individual and frame treatments specific to them. We work on the subtle energies of the body and mind to bring balance and restore a state of bliss.

Reflexology

A 70 minute treatment done to the feet. Reflexology to the feet is a type of massage that uses varying levels of pressure to the foot. Areas of the foot correspond to organs and systems of the body. Pressure applied to the foot brings relaxation and healing to the corresponding area of the body. Reflexology is known to reduce pain, alleviate stress and anxiety, and promote healthier more restful sleep.

Ayurvedic Yoga

Traditional Eastern Yoga that uses aspects of meditation, breath work, mantra and poses to create a relaxing, rejuvenating and restorative practice that can be done by people of all ages. Unlike modern Western Yoga, that primarily focuses on intense postures and increasing flexibility, we look towards the subtle movement of the energies in the body, mind and spirit to bring about self healing.

Reiki Healing

A 60 minute treatment. Reiki is a form of energy healing. It is performed by the practitioner placing his or her hands on the client or just above the client in their energy aura. Areas of the body, mind and spirit can become congested and blocked and reiki uses a universal energy to unblock these areas leaving the client feeling balanced and open. Reiki assists with the natural healing process of the body, promotes deep relaxation, removes stress and improves overall well being.

Yoga/Pranayama

Pranayama is a practice of controlled breathing that helps to strengthen, and open up our body and mind while facilitating a connection with our consciousness and bringing meditation to a deeper level.  Pranayama also has tremendous health benefits for the physical body in helping to cure many diseases.  Classes consist of yoga postures, strong breathing techniques, slow breathing techniques and meditation. 

Melissa Robertson

I’ve always been drawn to helping people. Spending 6 years working in healthcare as a PSW and then moving on to study Nursing I had a passion for healing, but the western medicine model didn’t quite fit my beliefs. I found Ayurveda (Eastern Medicine) in 2016. Beginning a daily meditation practice was nothing short of life changing for me…
