Natural Procedures

Natural procedures are exclusive to the treatments offered by Ria Rucinska and Mila Ribeiro of Sacred Motion.

Natural procedures are designed to enhance your holistic treatments by incorporating the four elements—earth, air, water, and fire. These methods include clay wraps, herbal infusions, and cold compresses, which seamlessly integrate with practices such as reiki, body mapping, and massage. Each procedure aims to balance heat, reduce inflammation, and regulate your nervous system, helping you reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms and the healing power of nature.

Inspired by Ria and Mila’s extensive training with shamanic naturopaths in Brazil, these procedures are rooted in ancient practices and wisdom. They learned not only the techniques but also the deeper philosophy behind them. Each procedure offers a profound sense of grounding and alignment with the natural world.

What to Expect:

Each of our natural procedures is tailored to meet your specific needs and can be incorporated as an add-on to your chosen treatment.

Cold Compress:
This procedure involves soaking flannels in ice-cold water and placing them on the lower abdomen, wrapped with cloths and towels. As the flannel warms up, it is refreshed in the cold water and replaced. This process is repeated throughout the session. The cold compress is particularly beneficial for individuals prone to inflammation, especially in the gut, and those experiencing anxiety, sluggishness, or stress. It is not recommended for pregnant clients, those on their period, or anyone with conditions that may negatively react to cold water.

Clay Compress:
This ancient practice uses bentonite clay, often combined with essential oils or rose water, depending on allergies. The clay is applied to the lower abdomen and wrapped in cloths and towels for the duration of your treatment. The clay’s detoxifying properties help to remove heavy metals, alleviate digestive issues, and calm gut inflammation. Working with the earth element, this method is ideal for those feeling airy, ungrounded, anxious, or scattered.

Herbal Infusions:
Herbal infusions can be provided in two forms: as a custom-blended tea or as a herbal foot bath. The tea is crafted with herbs specifically chosen for your ailments or intentions, offering benefits like anxiety relief, stress reduction, and nervous system regulation. The herbal foot bath involves heated, herb-infused water placed in a basin, where your feet are immersed. Blindfolds may be offered to encourage introspection. This practice is excellent for improving blood circulation, relieving stress, and boosting immunity. It also helps in fostering a deeper relationship with the water element within, symbolising emotions and inner reflection.

Who Would Benefit:

These natural procedures are ideal for individuals seeking to deepen their healing experience and reconnect with the natural elements. They are particularly beneficial for those dealing with chronic inflammation, digestive issues, anxiety, stress, and a sense of feeling ungrounded or disconnected.
