HEART ALIGNED ENERGY WELLNESS
Julie Ruttan is a Body Code Practitioner who is passionate about assisting, educating and empowering clients about the innate ability of the body to heal itself.
The Body Code allows for individuals to connect with the unique needs of their bodies and can assist with mental, emotional and physical issues by identifying the root cause, making necessary corrections. The Emotion Code is one aspect of this modality that allows for identification of trapped emotions weighing you down and releases them on the spot, leaving you feeling lighter and freer. Often times this emotional baggage left in the body can cause disease, inability to heal and can create other blocks in our daily lives.
Julie Ruttan will be returning to Coming Home Festival this year to offer her powerful sessions in the Holistic Retreat healing sanctuary. We invite you to book an appointment with her and experience her wonderful offerings first hand.
THE ETHERIC ALIGNMENT STUDIO
The Energy Enhancement System™ (EESystem™) generates a myriad of life-enhancing energy fields, including the renowned “scalar waves”.
Within this revitalizing energy field, you are immersed in a rejuvenating sea of light energy scalar waves operating effortlessly to permeate solid matter.
When your body encounters this type of environment, your body’s electromagnetic field becomes energized, paving the way for improved overall health. Scientific research suggests that exposure to scalar fields may contribute to DNA repair, further enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. It is a transformative experience allowing your body can regain its vitality and equilibrium.
We are so excited to have The Etheric Alignment as one of our Sponsors this year as they share our vision of 'coming home' to our own natural innate ability to heal. If you haven't heard of the EESystem, you definitely need to check out their Workshop or visit them in our Artisan Alley!
