Wellness - Spas & Esthetics

Book an appointment today.Wellness - Metaphysical Arts
"Metaphysical" - the term literally means beyond the physical. Metaphysical arts include those mystical practices, many of them thousands of years old, that often have no logical explanation to the average person. Many dismiss them because of lack of understanding but we see the powerful benefits in the recipients of such modalities as reiki, reflexology, astrology, energy balancing, psychic readings and more.Columbia Valley community health organizations want you and your family to be healthy, happy and easily able to handle life’s ups and downs. If you or a family member are experiencing a rough patch right now and you could use some advice, counseling or just a friend with a sympathetic ear and a kind heart, here’s where to turn.
