Relaxation 101 was born out of requests from clients the techniques used with them in sessions with Karen Kallie. Karen, M.A.C.P., R.N., C.S., received her nursing degree from Massachusetts General Hospital and her Masters in Counseling and Psychology from Lesley College. She is also certified in Mind-Body Medicine, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Interactive Guided Imagery, Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, and Quantum Psychology. She has more than 25 years of experience in integrating mind-body medicine into nursing, psychotherapy and stress management, bringing a dynamic synthesis of Eastern and Western approaches to her practice. The music was created by Tony Pace whose research, training and natural instinct of music and its effect on the human body gave him the ability to create pieces which encourage brainwave patterns to further help people reach the deep levels of relaxation that help with healing, clearing of the mind and restoration of the spirit. These programs have been tested over the years and marketed to clients and friends. Uses of these programs have included: •Patient use before and after surgery Use during chemotherapy •Use to replace blood pressure medication •Use for avoidance of anxiety/anti depressant medication Use on the calming of out of control pets. Most use the programs for the usual stresses and strains of everyday life but they were written and designed to bring people into true healing spaces where the body actually heals. Although all people are different and do not experience the same level of success, we share with the experiences from those who have “Both Karen’s message and presentation are so well done. She skillfully talks one into feelings of ease and yet with a sense of power over your own life. The choreography with the music is phenomenal. I find the meditation is both relaxing and inspirational in ways I didn’t know were possible. This is a wonderful CD!” Catherine Wilke, Landscape Architect “I’ve been using Relaxation 101, Energy Aerobics and Tranquil Sleep personally and have also recommended these profound CD’s to students and clients. Each CD builds upon the next one and is a natural way to reenergize Body, Mind and Spirit. Even my children are using Tranquil Sleep on those evenings when they have difficulty with sleep. They are skeptics but once they tried it, they are now believers! Karen’s hypnotic voice combined with Tony’s music is the perfect “natural prescription” to bring you into those desired relaxed states. With regular use you can reach those Zen states we often read about!” Sandra Panek, Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master I started working with Karen Kallie at Ninth Wave Wellness 3 ½ years ago when my life was moving in many directions and I felt that I was losing control. Karen gave me a copy of her Relaxation 101 tape and later a copy of Energy Aerobics which have worked amazingly well to promote emotional, spiritual and energetic wellness. I continue to return to them because they provide a well rounded series of exercises that ground me and help me to get back on track.
