Wyld Acres is an energy healing and prenatal communication studio located in New Paltz, NY.  As human beings, we are constantly expending energy as well as absorbing it from others. Energy can get blocked in our bodies, and as it builds up, different kinds of issues can arise.

This work helps to balance out the energy in our bodies, which can strengthen us and offer clarity.

People come to energy work in a variety of ways. Some people come to a session with a particular concern, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Some seek the deep relaxation this type of work can bring. Some pregnant women come to explore ways of connecting with this baby.

Some wish to honor a particular life shift through ritual or ceremony. I can partner with you to create sacred space around transitions of beginnings and endings, including a separation in a relationship, a move to a new home, a change in vocation, a shift within a family dynamic, a celebration of personal growth or accomplishment, a witness to the passage of pregnancy or adoption into parenthood, a connection around grieving, and myriad other opportunities for affirmation.

My individual healing sessions are designed to meet you where you are and to employ techniques that will help to bring you back to you.  We connect with your individual guides: your own body’s wisdom, your own soul’s sanctuary.

Sessions generally take place in the Wyld Acres studio space. However, special arrangements are available for hospital and other off-site visitations. Prenatal communication, distance healing sessions including on-line appointments using Skype, space-clearings, and outdoor healing walks are additional services.

3-PART HOLISTIC PREGNANCY SERIES 

• Pleasures of Pregnancy Workshop I - Two separate upcoming workshops scheduled: Sunday, June 14 and Sunday, July 12, 2009, 2:00-4:30pm, Waddle & Swaddle, 37 Raymond Ave., Poughkeepsie, Facilitated by Erica Chase-Salerno and Marnie McKnight-Favell.  RSVP: 845.255.5896 or erica@wyldacres.com. Cost is $10. Come nurture yourself and connect deeply with your baby in this relaxing and informative gathering. Rather than a birthing class or standard prenatal care session, this workshop aims to get you in touch at the deepest level of the energetic nature of your pregnancy, upcoming labor, and delivery. Intended for mothers at any stage of pregnancy, all birth plans, whether this is your first child or next child, we will explore and practice techniques designed to strengthen you and your mind/body, as well as look at any new awarenesses around this child during this pregnancy. We will help participants to interpret information being communicated to them from this baby, as well as process questions and concerns that are coming up during the pregnancy. Topics will include prenatal yoga, prenatal communication, and emotional/energetic centering to support you in preparation for the birth. Tools being offered and experienced at this workshop include: practicing specific yoga positions to increase strength and openness; reflecting upon thoughts and sharings from the baby to the mother; creating a “Mama Map” to track various events that have occurred in the mother’s life and drawing from them to learn about individual patterns and tendencies with regard to the birth process itself; and more!  Erica and Marnie are both mamas and experienced group leaders with individual healing practices who are committed to honoring the birth journey in its many forms. 
• Powers of Pregnancy Workshop II - Sunday, July 19, 2009, 2:00-4:30pm, Waddle & Swaddle, 37 Raymond Ave., Poughkeepsie, Facilitated by Erica Chase-Salerno and Marnie McKnight-Favell.  RSVP: 845.255.5896 or erica@wyldacres.com.  Cost is $10.  A follow-up to the “Pleasures of Pregnancy” Worshop, here’s a chance to go deeper, to explore and draw from your own inner wisdom and life experience in a safe, supportive, nurturing environment.   This session enables the pregnant mother to delve deeper into the personal powers available to her in the prenatal experience through prenatal yoga, bodywork, “prenatal mapping,” “power stations,” and cultivating the pathways to prenatal communication.  Ideal for mothers in their seventh month and beyond.  Also a prerequisite for “Possibilities of Pregnancy III.”
• Possibilities of Pregnancy Workshop III - Sunday, August 2, 2009, 2:00-4:30pm, Waddle & Swaddle, 37  Raymond Ave., Poughkeepsie, Facilitated by Erica Chase-Salerno and Marnie McKnight-Favell.  RSVP: 845.255.5896 or erica@wyldacres.com.  Cost is $10.  You’ve sought the Pleasures (I), you’ve tapped into the Powers (II), now we go deep into the Possibilities of Pregnancy III.  Discover insights into your unlimited potential as discovered through pregnancy.  Created as a sequel to “Powers of Pregnancy” (required), this is the ultimate energy workshop for mothers in their final months of pregnancy.  This session offers insights and tools into each person’s unlimited potential as informed by the pregnancy experience and is designed to harness the openness of the body before birth.  This session focuses entirely on prenatal yoga and prenatal communication.
