Want to learn more about what we do?

From the Esalen® Institute in Big Sur, California comes this unique form of massage and bodywork, famous for its soft touch, long flowing strokes and synchronicity with the receiver.
Ellen Watson developed this multi-sensory practice through her time at the Esalen® Institute and in Bali, Indonesia.  Touching Essence integrates massage, sound healing, aromatherapy, visualization and affirmation.
SDSS brings us back to our roots in community dancing and singing as a healing art through which we heal ourselves and those around us.  Restoring both physical and mental well-being.
We have developed our own product line full of fantastic quality items for individuals, spas, massage therapists and healing arts practitioners, supporting local organizations, available for both wholesale and retail.
