Welcome to Saffron Sun Healing Arts! 

​

My intention is to provide the highest quality holistic care and guidance to individuals seeking vibrant health and wellness.  Integrating the healing tools of Ayurveda, Thai bodywork & medicine, yoga, massage, and meditation, we begin a journey together bringing you back into harmony with your true nature.   Educating the community about yoga, Ayurveda and therapeutic bodywork is my passion.

In addition to my private practice in beautiful downtown Whitefish, Montana, I also offer community meditations, educational workshops and weekly yoga classes in the Flathead Valley.  
My office is part of  a therapeutic wellness collective.  This healing space is an integration of  acupuncturists www.whitefishacu.com/ and massage & bodyworkers  dedicated to holistic health.

Bodywork & Massage

I am Licensed Massage Therapist trained in Thai massage & medicine, neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue and Swedish massage.  I have a holistic approach to bodywork, and honor the client’s specific needs in treatment.  

I'm certified and trained in Thai bodywork  with Jennifer Vanderburg  of  Montana Thai Therapeutics through the  highly esteemed Naga Center of Portland, Oregon. www.nagacenter.org/
  A therapeutic Thai bodywork session involves opening the channels of the body(wind gates) through Sen line work, increasing circulation with deep compression of the tissues, coaxing length into the body through traction of the limbs and range of motion movements to lubricate the joints.  Depending on your needs, your session  may include hot herbal compresses, fire cupping, medicinal liniments or balms.   This meditative style of bodywork is both calming and energizing.   I use only the highest quality Ayurvedic herbal oils for massage and Florecopia or Young Living essential oils.

​Yoga
  

Over 22 years ago I found myself in Berkeley, CA stepping onto the yoga mat and into a diverse world of so much more!  It was the foundation of yoga practice, that led me to study many ancient traditions of medicine, movement and meditation.  I received my 200 YTT from Bhodi Yoga International, in Valencia, Spain www.bodhiyoga.es/ focused on a weaving of traditional Buddhist teachings, mindfulness, metta (loving kindness), pranayam and classical hatha asana.   My yoga classes are thoughtfully planned and sequenced according to the season, time of day and doshic nature of the students with focus on the breath, fluid movement and mindful alignment.  I offer public and private yoga classes and workshops in the valley. Click here to see my current public teaching schedule.

Ayurveda 

I am a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and have been practicing for over a decade.   I graduated in 2006 from the Ayurvedic Academy of Seattle (now Kerala Ayurveda), and continued with the International Academy of Ayurveda in Pune, India, acquiring over 800 hours in Ayurvedic training.  I often teach the Ayurvedic curriculum of yoga teacher training programs in Oregon and Montana. 

My approach to healthcare is one of practicality, where ancient wisdom meets a modern world.   Diet and nutrition based on the individual's constitution according to the 5 elements, a custom tailored daily routine, herbal recommendations, yoga practices, meditation, pranayam and supportive lifestyle guidance are all part of an in-depth Ayurvedic consultation.

Words From The Community

Nancy is an absolute god send!
She has forever changed my life with her beautiful soul and incredible talent of massage!  I get Thai massages as well as deep tissue from her and there is nothing else that has ever compared! I'm a cosmetologist so long hours are hard on my body, but Nancy makes each day so much easier!  I would recommend her for all your bodywork needs! The environment is so peaceful and welcoming! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Nancy!
