Normal activities like sitting and exercising can offset the natural balance of soft tissues that surround your brain and spinal cord. Craniosacral therapy is the process of recalibrating these membranes and fluids through calculated application of light pressure.
When one or more of your muscles isn’t working properly, your body can subconsciously activate other muscles to compensate. We'll identify detrimental movement patterns and correct them by releasing tension in overworked muscles and help you relax the tension your muscles.
From physiological factors like diet, exercise and caffeine intake to environmental factors like sleep space and screen time – our sleep coaches explore every possible technique to assure you get the rejuvenating rest you need and deserve.
Reiki is the Japanese practice of regulating the body’s natural energy force to promote both physical and spiritual well-being. This technique is often used in conjunction with traditional medical and psychological treatments to enhance healing and alleviate side-effects.

Meet Johanna, The Roving Shield Maiden
At Roving Shield Wellness, we combine traditional wisdom with modern methodology to consistently deliver results that our clients can feel right away and have a lasting positive impact on their physical, mental and spiritual state. Our name is a tribute by our founder, Johanna Gorton, to the Roving Shield Maidens of ancient Nordic culture who were female protectors of the world – with whom she has come to closely identify with through extensive travel and research. This empowering spirit is at the heart of every one of the services we offer. The Nordic concepts of ‘hygge’ (loosely translating to ‘cozy’) and lagom (loosely translating to ‘just right’) are integral aspects of our comfortable and personalized approach.
