  • Sue Arlen

    INTUITIVE TOUCH HEALER

    Originally from England, Sue has lived in the U.S since 1979 first in New York City and then moving to California in 1983 where she has lived since.

    Some of Sue's childhood experiences, initially hard to understand or explain, came to be recognized, later in life, as sensitivities or intuitive abilities which she has spent the last 40 years exploring, developing, practicing and teaching.

    After many years of meditation and spiritual healing, Sue entered massage school in order to incorporate healing into bodywork. It was at this time that she discovered her true passion - helping people recognize their unique spiritual nature within their physical body through light touch healing sessions, assisting them in re-connecting to their own awareness and information.

    This has since developed into Intuitive Touch Healing which she continues to practice and teach.

    The natural flow of your energy is disrupted by physical injury, emotional trauma, stress, illness or any form of negative experience. Intuitive Touch Healing helps to release the energy of those negative experiences and restore your energy flow.

  • Shola Ricco

    SHAMANIC PRACTITIONER

    Since 1992, Shola has devoted her life to self-discovery and the evolution of her soul including study and sacred pilgrimages with healers in Peru, Belize, Mexico, India, Africa, Italy and Hawaii, her home since 2003. Hawaii is also called the Healing Island, she was captured by the beauty, natural power of this magical land that is one of the youngest places on Earth. Everywhere there is an unusual beauty multiplied by the magma that nourishes and molds the island. Big Island is Pele's home, the Hawaiian fire goddess who creates, burns and transforms.

    The healing practices that she offers focus on the journey inward, to nourish the Self from one’s center. She believes an intimate relationship with one’s self takes willingness and practice to develop, as it is the most important relationship for us.

    Through her shamanic modalities, Shola facilitates a reconnection of ancestral awareness and the natural environment. This connection to the land holds healing beyond human capability, and once established, it can assist in transformational healing.
