Dear Wellness Team, My name is Adrianna and I am a multi disciplined Wellness Practitioner. I'd like to extend my exclusive holistic services with you and your Business. I also carry a line of all natural wellness products, to further our knowledge to our inputs from the outside world. 

Ayurvedic Wellness Consultations - I am an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, offering an easy & effective, individualized approach to alleviate imbalances in the body and mind. Ayurveda is the sister science of yoga and focuses on preventative health care, taking an in-depth look at health history and daily habits to discover the root cause of imbalance. Consultations include: lifestyle and dietary guidelines, herbal and bodywork recommendations, yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises. I empower others to deepen their personal health awareness, offering a natural alternative to maintain vitality and well being, tapping into the ancient wisdom of Eastern Medicine. My approach is practical and welcoming to those that find it hard to prioritize personal health, or those that simply don't know where to begin. This is a Two Thousand Year Old Practice, rediscovered and reported on in the Washington Post, NY Times, Men's Health, and hundreds of historical and medical journals. 

Tibetan Tones - I am also a Tibetan Tones Sound Practitioner, offering one-on-one Vibrational Sound Sessions. Tibetan Tones Sound Sessions can affect both the nervous and digestive systems by stimulating the vagus nerve, allowing the body, brain, and organs to relax and restore. Focused on moving stagnant Qi (energy), while also dilating vessels to regenerate blood flow. In a private session, the singing bowls are placed directly onto the body, as they're designed to vibrate deep into the lower lumbar, abdominal area, and muscle tissue surrounding the joints. Group Sonic Wave Journeys (Sacred Sound Meditations) are offered as well. 

Complete Wellness Offerings: Yoga for Personal, Business, Corporate, and Events. I am a Certified Advanced (500 RYT) Yoga & Meditation Instructor, as well as an AntiGravity Fitness Instructor, offering private, event, and corporate/group, trauma releasing, therapeutic exercise and meditations. I have the leadership skills to create a tailored program that addresses the needs of your Business, while introducing your clients to the pathways and benefits of a healthy lifestyle. My Spiritual Practice: A Lifetime of Authentic, Respectful, Cultural Education - Your clients that know, know. This is not a case of 'Appropriation'. I am of Native Descent, spending my life alongside the Reservation on Long Island, and with my Taino relatives in Puerto Rico. This gives me the insight, experience & understanding of natural healing practices. This is an ancestral gift. I apprenticed with a local, Long Island Shaman for over ten years. This led me to develop an extensive background in crystal healing, aromatherapy and Earth Medicine. The Usui System of Natural Reiki Healing, Reiki Level 1 & 2 Certified. I studied Past Life Regression Therapy at The Weiss Institute (Brian L. Weiss, M. D.) to fortify my relationship with ancestry and inner state of knowing. My mission to achieve wellness in the most wholesome way, as I continue to seek deeper knowledge with the utmost respect towards ancient wisdom offered throughout the world. I am currently on the path to becoming an Ayurvedic Doctor. As a multifaceted mentor, I invite others on this journey to reawaken the healer within us all, fostering a community of love, consciousness and resilience, activating our highest potential. I look forward to hearing from you, and sharing the abundant energy I have to offer with you and your facility. With Gratitude, Adrianna Milonas
