Don’t we all dream of a place where we can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, forget our to-do lists and leave everything behind? Peace of Mind Studios offers you the opportunity to get back to your inner self with treatments, healing work, Reiki and workshops. Founder Freddi Laker makes it her mission to “bring more ease into people’s bodies, minds and spirits.” She wants to create a space of introspection and deep relaxation, especially for people who often get lost in the stress of everyday life. While studying psychology, Freddi realized that she didn’t want to go about practicing a conventional path of therapy. She specialized in Buddhist psychology, yogic philosophy, Chinese healing medicine, and Ayurveda, then founded her business on this foundation. Her small space within the yoga studio, Original Feelings, provides the perfect oasis to relax and unwind. The smell of Palo Santo and soft music in the background immediately put me in a state of serenity.
I get an Ayurvedic oil treatment that Freddi explained helps balance what is known as Vata. Vata dosha is one of the three energies in Ayurvedic medicine and controls movements in the body, such as blood flow, nervous system and breath. In addition to Ayurvedic practices, Freddie also offers therapy, Reiki, yoga and other treatments. Finding a moment of stillness is not so easy for many of us anymore. Peace of Mind Studios guides you back to a sense of tranquility. Whether you want to give back to yourself, a friend or a family member, a visit to Peace of Mind will give everyone a relaxing start to the new year. Small tip: Don’t schedule anything right after an oil treatment. Take the time to reflect and wash off the remaining oil in a bath or long warm shower.
