Natalija received her first Reiki attunement in 2007, initiated through the lineage of Dr. Mikao Usui. Over the following six and a half years, she engaged in a profound journey of personal healing and connection with the deep wisdom of this ancient practice. During this time, she progressed through Reiki Levels II and III, ultimately earning her certification as a Shamanic Reiki Teacher in late 2013. She is initiated in Usui, Tibetan, Shamanic & Karuna Reiki.

While Reiki served as the foundation of her hands-on healing path, Natalija has since cultivated a unique and integrative approach, drawing upon a diverse array of spiritual and holistic modalities she has gathered and refined over the years.

Did you know that around 24 million Americans live with autoimmune diseases like asthma, Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, IBS, celiac disease, and type 1 diabetes? These conditions are becoming more common, driven by a mix of high stress, too little downtime, poor nutrition, chronic dehydration, and increased exposure to environmental toxins. Understanding these factors is the first step toward supporting your immune health naturally.

In this class we will go over: 

• The importance of whole food nutrition and how today’s overly processed diet impacts our bodies and immune systems, including a look at popular “fad” diets.

• Stress management tips: Living in an over-stressed society greatly affects our overall health, so we’ll explore effective destressing techniques.

• Understanding the difference between sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) states .. and how to shift into the much-needed rest and digest mode for deep healing.

• Herbal remedies that help mediate chronic stress and inflammation, including specific herbs for particular autoimmune conditions.

Natalija M. Kyle, Reiki Master/Teacher & Holistic Healthcare Practitioner  

Are you ready to become a Reiki practitioner? 

Reiki is a beautiful and powerful practice that focuses on energy healing. It’s based on the concept that there’s a universal life force energy that flows through all living things. By using gentle hand placements or even just intention and distance healing, a Reiki practitioner helps to guide and balance this energy within the body. This practice not only promotes physical healing but also supports emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, offering relaxation, stress relief, and emotional clarity.                                                     

Reiki 1 includes: 

• 21 days of support for integration! This includes: 

• long distance Reiki from Natalija  & unlimited email for 21 days 

• Introduction and history of Usui Reiki as well as talk about Tibetan & Shamanic Reiki 

• Channel opening attunements: Each attunement opens up deeper channels of connection to source energy, as well as utilizing the self as a conduit of divine healing.  

• Dive into these systems:

• The 4 bodies (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical)

• The 4 elements (air, water, earth, fire) 

• The Chakra system and its effects when balanced & imbalanced

• Masculine & Feminine energies and how they impact us

• Reparenting the self, the effects of trauma & ancestral karmas  

• How to create ceremony and a sacred space to find the tools that will help you with your own healing journey.  

• Go in depth about self-care, self-healing, and how to tap into the wisdom of your wounds. Learn how to listen to your body and connect to your intuition as a guide. It is vital that we learn to navigate our own wounds before we guide others to do so. 

• Techniques on setting up your daily self-care Reiki practice. 

Natalija received her first Reiki attunement in 2007, initiated through the lineage of Dr. Mikao Usui. Over the following six and a half years, she engaged in a profound journey of personal healing and connection with the deep wisdom of this ancient practice. During this time, she progressed through Reiki Levels II and III, ultimately earning her certification as a Shamanic Reiki Teacher in late 2013. She is initiated in Usui, Tibetan, Shamanic & Karuna Reiki.

While Reiki served as the foundation of her hands-on healing path, Natalija has since cultivated a unique and integrative approach, drawing upon a diverse array of spiritual and holistic modalities she has gathered and refined over the years.

The desert may seem quiet and sparse, but look closer and you’ll find a landscape rich with life, resilience, and hidden healing potential. Join community herbalist Sarah Sandhaus for an engaging, hands-on class exploring the beauty and benefits of desert plants.

Together, we’ll learn to recognize, respect, and celebrate the native and naturalized plants that thrive in the Sonoran desert. From soothing aloe to nourishing mesquite and prickly pear, these hardy plants offer time-tested wisdom for supporting vitality, hydration, immunity, and balance in even the driest seasons.

In this two-hour class, we’ll discuss traditional uses, modern applications, and sustainable harvesting practices, as well as simple ways to bring these desert allies into your kitchen and home apothecary. Participants will get to taste, touch, and experience several preparations and take home practical tips for crafting their own desert-inspired remedies.

In this class, you’ll learn:

• How to identify and connect with key desert plants of the Southwest

• Traditional and contemporary uses for wellness and recovery

• Sustainable and ethical harvesting techniques

• How to integrate local botanicals into daily routines for vitality and balance

Learn how to stay cool and hydrated all summer long!

Staying hydrated includes more than just drinking water; we must actively seek proper mineral and electrolyte content. Having balanced electrolytes allows for each and every cell to efficiently absorb nourishment and release toxicity which is vital for our overall well-being. Low and impaired electrolytes can lead to dehydration which can cause devastating short or/and long-term effects on the body.  

Some signs of low electrolytes & dehydration: 

• Headaches, joint pain, and nerve pain 

• Tiredness, dizziness, disoriented, and  poor cognitive issues, like confusion 

• Long-term deficiencies are linked to autoimmunity, detox issues, and cell damage

The dangers of acute dehydration:

• Permanent damage to cells & the brain

• Coma or even death!   

In this class, we will go over:

• Herbs and food that support the body’s ability to cool down  

• Easy & yummy ways to keep up mineral and electrolyte intake.

• Signs to watch out for and when to seek help.

• Experience the Yogi cooling breath, as well as cooling & hydrating teas & tasty snacks.
