TREAT YOURSELF
"'Self-Care' is possessing enough self-awareness to correct the behavior of over-functioning for others while under-functioning for yourself." - LaShaun Middlebrooks Collier
We all need a little TLC at times and here at AHKí, we advocate Self-Care in a big way. Maybe you've come to Costa Rica for the tranquility or maybe because of the Yoga.

AHKí has available for you an array of massage and bodywork modalities. Our practitioners are independent professionals from around the globe who have come to Costa Rica specifically to share their healing arts and services. Below is our menu of their bodywork and healing treatments. You can read about the hands behind each one at The Practitioners page.
GROUP ACCUPUNCTURE - MITRA
Influenced by traditional acupuncture clinics, receiving acupuncture in a group raises the frequency of the energy field and invites deeper healing individually and collectively. Before one is invited to participate in a group session, each participant meets with Mitra for a private interview session to gather information about their state of being.
The group session takes place over a 3-4 hour period. Individual sessions are 75-90 minutes, with participants scheduled in 20 minute intervals. Mitra meets with each person for a consultation and nutrition guidance, and then guides them into the group space to receive the treatment. At a certain point, there may be 4-6 people receiving healing simultaneously, creating a powerful energy field.

THAI YOGA (THAI MASSAGE) - KAREN
The ancient, spiritual art of healing, Thai Yoga (Phaen Boran Raksaa Thaang Nuat) is derivative of the Theraveda Buddhism, Buddhist medicine, Classical Indian and Tibetan Ayurveda and Yoga Vedanta. However, it is not required that one be a Buddhist to practice or receive this healing art. The primary outcomes associated with the practice of Thai Yoga are called "ProMiiWihan Sii" or Four Divine, Boundless States of mind without limitation: Love, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity, qualities we ALL need in our lives!
Thai Yoga is vibrational medicine that incorporates elements of mindfulness, gentle rocking, deep stretching and rhythmic compression with heart-centered, compassionate attention that can strengthen the immune system, release toxins, improve flexibility and enhance your yoga practice, relieve chronic pain, reduce edema (swelling), headaches and tension - to name a few. This work brings fundamental elements and energy into harmony and creates wholeness of mind, body and spirit. The receiver wears comfortable, movable clothing.

EFT- EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE - KAREN
EFT is a form of acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture but without the use of needles, EFT uses positive affirmations and simple tapping with the fingertips to input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on the head and chest while focusing on your specific issue - whether it is a traumatic event, an addiction, pain, etc. EFT works to clear the "short-circuit" - the emotional block - from your body's bioenergy system, thus restoring your mind and body's balance. EFT can: remove repetitive negative thoughts and emotions, reduce food cravings, reduce or eliminate chronic pain, implement positive intentions.

HEALING TOUCH ENERGY BALANCING - KAREN
With Healing Touch, the client is fully clothed with shoes off lying on the table either on their back or stomach. Working with light touch on and off the body within the energy field, the hands of the therapist are used to influence the subtle body, bringing balance and harmony to the whole mind/body/spirit system. Some people experience visions, some fall asleep, some people like to talk during the session, discussing their experiences and whatever comes up. All in all, most people leave feeling more relaxed and rested, clear, balanced, grounded and usually have achieved some degree of physical and/or emotional relief from whatever is ailing them. The Cyrstal Bio-Mat is used during these sessions to help facilitate even deeper work.

REBALANCING BODYWORK/MASSAGE - ERIN / TAMMY
Rebalancing is a combination of deep tissue massage, joint tension release and energy balancing to release chronic holding patterns that contribute to pain and illness. According to the holistic approach of rebalancing, the emotional, energetic and spiritual aspects are as important as our physical component. Rebalancing is a way to increase the ability to feel. Feeling connects you more with who you truly are. The capacity of the rebalancer for empathy, and the mastery of several body- oriented techniques, forms the basis for a professional, individually focused and intuitive approach. Techniques during any given session may include: deep tissue manipulation, joint release, breath and energy work or Cranio Sacral.

CRANIO SACRAL THERAPY - ERIN
Cranio Sacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including: migraines, chronic neck/back pain, chronic fatigue, TMJ, stress and tension, post traumatic stress disorder and more.

They are designed to bring out each individual's creative potential as well as being a catalyst for deep healing in the body, mind, and soul. Each rhythm is a state of being, a teacher that brings out different aspects of who we are and who we are growing into being. Collectively, the 5Rhythms create a wave of energy that mirrors the creative process. By moving through this wave of energy we unleash the dynamic power that is alive within each of us. We dance ourselves from our thinking heads, to our embodied edge, so that we can exist in the instinctive intuitive still point.
