“The cranial bliss therapy 3 day retreat with Aimee was just incredible.
I received so much on both a personal level & feel equipped with a whole new set of tools to add to my massage practice.
Aimee is a fully embodied teacher, deeply knowledgeable, & shares her passion for this work in such a beautiful, humble & heart lead way.
It has been a profound journey, & I look forward to continuing to learn with her!”

RETReaT Testimonial 2025
“This retreat workshop was so heart opening for me. I was able to relax into a connective & calm state of being.
Giving & receiving a beautiful & relaxing treatment that soothes the soul. I don’t generally have the patience.
I was guided into the zone & everything flowed naturally. It boosted my confidence &comfort. I returned home with a calmer nervous system & state of mind.
I highly recommend Aimee’s shared teachings if you are on the journey of self-care, self- love & connection with others.”
