The Barefoot Haven

I began seeing Jean a couple months ago for Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki. While I was initially a bit skeptical as I did not know much about either, I am now officially hooked. The work that she does with me is a key component in helping me to better manage my chronic back pain. I look forward to my visits with her as they always help to put me in a more positive frame of mind. Jean is very genuine about wanting to help others and I greatly appreciate the occasional text message of support from her between appointments (they always seem to come at the perfect time and remind me to breathe and refocus). I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to decrease the damaging effects of ongoing stress and/​or chronic pain.

Barefoot has a diverse group of yoga instructors which offers a wide array of distinct yoga practices for the beginner to the advanced. Even as a beginner taking an advanced class, the instructor gave many alternative options to fit the individual levels of each student in the class. As always, before the class, let the instructor know that you are new to the class so they are aware of your level. Another wonderful perk is that the instructors usually ask the class if there are any areas of focus before beginning. This is really nice because if I am holding stress in my upper neck and shoulders, or my hips are tight from kickboxing, I feel like I can really have a focused class to help stretch those muscle groups. It’s almost like having a personalized yoga class.
