Prairiewoods’ programs and retreats focus on three topics that are central to all we do here: ecology, spirituality and holistic health. With our focus on holistic health, we help you find healing for mind, body and spirit. Let Prairiewoods’ staff teach your group about holistic services, mindfulness, guided meditation, relaxation techniques, or holistic health and wellbeing.

When you visit Prairiewoods, you can enjoy a variety of holistic services during your stay. Holistic services cost $65 for one hour. Please note that our massage therapists’ schedules fill up quickly, so please book your holistic services when you reserve your room or several weeks before your visit to Prairiewoods.

Massage

Experience the healing power of touch. Massage reduces muscle tension, decreases pain, increases joint mobility, reduces swelling, and increases blood and lymphatic flow. Massage relaxes and strengthens connective tissue and aids in the elimination of accumulated toxins and waste products. It is especially helpful in reducing the effects of stress and tension. Our practitioners offer both Swedish and Shiatsu massage.

Head and Shoulder Massage

The same healing benefits of Massage are focused on the head and shoulders, where many people carry stress and tension.

Reflexology

Thumb or finger pressure is applied to specific areas of the feet that correspond to organs throughout the body. As these areas are stimulated, the corresponding organs are stimulated, resulting in relaxation and improved organ functioning.

Healing Touch

This is an energy-based, therapeutic, spiritual approach to healing. It includes a variety of ancient natural healing and spiritual techniques to influence the energy system and promote physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Guided Meditation

Lead your imagination on a journey of contemplation and reflection to help you grow and come to healthy realizations. As you let go of your thoughts, your subconscious is able to follow the practitioner’s words. Guided Meditation helps you achieve deep relaxation and release negative emotions or beliefs.
