Post Ranch Inn Offers Guests Unique Treatments To Improve Their Quality Of Life

BIG SUR, CALIFORNIA -September 2004- Post Ranch Inn located in Big Sur, California is adding new treatments to their award-winning spa to provide guests with alternative ways to improve their quality of life, it was announced by Monika Jalovec, spa director for the Post Ranch Inn.

"It is important to provide our guests with treatments, services and consultations that are traditional as well as unique to create lasting changes for physical, mental and emotional well being," stated Jalovec. "In addition to the massages and skin treatments, we want our guests to have the opportunity to experience alternative ways to heal and refresh themselves from the inside."

The Award winning spa will now feature Native American Shamanic sessions. The Ranch is ideal for this new Consultation session since it is built on ancient Native American sacred grounds. This provides the setting that is conducive for the Shaman to engage the forces of nature and the ancient wisdom of the ancestors.

There are a choice of four different consultation sessions -Illumination, Soul Retrieval, Destiny Retrieval and Divination, and Bands of Powers. Each offers guest a personal choice from balancing and cleansing the energy body to boost energy and vitality, to uncovering the source of past wounding or trauma, and to incorporating energy of which you want to become and reveals obstacles of the past. Sessions are done in a private setting on the Ranch. Sessions range from 1.5 to 2 hours and can be for one to two persons and the four different sessions may be combined.

The session's mediator is with Jon Rasmussen who is a healer by birth. A graduate of the Healing the Light Body School and Theta healing instructor, he has studied and practiced numerous personal growth and health traditions for over 20 years. He works on behalf of the guest between the physical reality and the non-physical reality, which is the essential and energetic source and template for the physical. He works with guests in helping to remove obstacles from both past and future and bringing the client back to their whole and essential energetic nature. Additionally, the shaman then shares practical tools for the guest to take with them as they continue to step into their role as limitless co-creator of their own reality.

Post Ranch Inn was designed with respect for its natural settings. Visitors can relax in the basking pool set against a spectacular view of the ocean or in the heated lap pool that gives a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. Complete spa services include massages, body and soul treatments, facials, yoga and personal guided-hikes.
