Our classes are geared for all body types and any level of experience creating one environment open to all.

Massage

Buffy weaves together intuitive touch, deep listening, and energetic awareness to create massage sessions that go far beyond physical relaxation. As a licensed massage therapist, she blends traditional techniques with an attuned sensitivity to the body’s subtle energy fields. Her approach invites not only the release of muscular tension, but also the unwinding of stored emotions and stress—leaving the body lighter, the mind clearer, and the spirit more at ease. Each session is a sacred pause, a chance to reset, restore, and reconnect with your true self. Massage sessions are not included in the retreat price and are $120 per session.

Cosmic Sound Healing

Enter a field of pure vibration as Buffy guides you on a sound journey with crystal singing bowls, drums, chimes, and an array of eclectic instruments. Layered with her multidimensional voice, this ceremony is designed to clear the body of stored tension, balance the nervous system, and awaken the spirit to deeper states of clarity and peace. The frequencies ripple through every cell, creating a profound reset that participants often describe as floating, luminous, and deeply restorative.
