“While staying at Bamboo Jungle House, enjoying the charming and knowledgeable hosts,
 the elegant and comfortable accommodations, the exquisite gardens and waterfalls,
 I had a flare-up of acute degenerative arthritis in my knee.  Lucy worked with me using a
combination of Quantum Biofeedback and Qi Gong healing.  In an hour, while I dozed off,
all my pain and the swelling disappeared.  I have not had a recurrence since.” 
Debbie Sherman, Boston, MA, March, 2008

Are you considering a vacation on a Hawaiian island as a way to rest, rejuvenate and heal from your hectic pace of life?   Are you looking for an alternative approach to wellness?  Or perhaps a new way of working with a health challenge you have been dealing with?

Here at the Bamboo Jungle House we specialize in creating a nurturing, comfortable and relaxing “home away from home” in our luxuriant yet informal setting. 

Come soak in our hot tub heated by a warm waterfall.  Sit by our pool and listen to the breezes tease the wind chimes, the soothing sounds of our waterfalls and the birds singing in our abundant foliage.   Enjoy being pampered by our warm and personal service.    Let us assist you in planning your stay on the island.  We will gladly book activities for you and also plan trips to some of the more secluded, peaceful places here on Kauai.

Not only are we a retreat and sanctuary from the hectic pace of life, we also offer a variety of healing modalities to soothe your body, mind and soul. 
Perhaps you are interested in:

• relief of acute or chronic pain
• reducing some of the stress in your life
• reducing symptoms and the stress of living with chronic illness
• managing those emotions that get in your way of a “great” life
• nutrition counseling
• learning new ways to listen to your body
• relief of jet lag after your long flight
• learning to meditate
• learning Qi Gong
• experiencing the peace and beauty of Kauai’s natural splendor
• visiting sacred places here on Kauai

	All our energy and massage services are provided in our gazebo next to the waterfalls and pools (weather permitting). The gentle sounds of water, the breezes rustling the palms and bamboo wind chimes and the birds singing in the trees create nature's own brand of background music.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

Energy work for your emotions.  A powerful way to work with “negative” emotions that keep you from living life fully.

Helps you get unstuck from old subconscious memories and negative thinking patterns that contribute to painful emotions.

Also effective for managing and eliminating a wide variety of physical symptoms.

Qi Gong energy healing

Based in an ancient Chinese tradition, universal energy is used to release blockages in the body and increase the flow of energy or “Qi”.  We use this powerful healing in our work here.

Mindfulness Meditation

Would you like to learn to meditate?  To be able to let go of your chattering mind and be present in the moment?  To be more in harmony with your life as it is?

This mindfulness approach uses your breath as your anchor to calm your mind and be more present to your body and all that life offers.  It is about letting go of those attachments we have to the way things ‘should’ be.
