Cypress Pillar Healing Arts

Cypress Pillar Healing Arts approaches a rebuilding of self using a multi-modal approach: Body, Mind, & Spirit are all nurtured.

Heal yourself using medicinal techniques, diet, meditation, martial arts & tai chi, dance, visual art, music, and more! Somewhere along the line, Cypress Pillar founders Brian and Misha decided life could be about joy and love. This decision was made, when all good things happen, riding together on a bus bumping along and dreaming. But, really, wouldn't it be amazing to wake up every morning pain free, strong, loving your *self?* How incredible to look forward to a long life filled with wonder and adventure, to know what to eat, to laugh, and to be stress free. Well, why couldn't we all live like that? We all have a bit of healing to do, and we can work together to move through it. Whether you're suffering from pain, stress, or body image issues, Cypress Pillar Healing Arts is passionate about creating a healing journey that is right for YOU. Misha and Brian believe that health should be accessible to all and offer our services at affordable prices.

Sensei Brian - Dr. Brian Nell holds a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and offers acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, and traditional Chinese massage.

In January, we hosted our first ever Crone Club

Created as a live offering for the community by , this beautiful offering is a FREE opportunity for perimenopausal and menopausal women to gather together to find support and connection.

We had a full house - 15 beautiful women came together to share their stories, their experiences, their wisdom. Misha taught about the whole hormonal cycle of a woman’s life in general, sharing how the fluctuations transition and impact our bodies. And then we talked all about different experiences, with so many pearls of wisdom being shared.

It was a beautiful offering, and one we were proud to host.

Misha’s next Crone Club will take place in March and she will be talking about some of her favorite herbs to help with symptoms and the stress of the change.

The link will be up in our profile soon. Come and gather, Wise Women, and find your community 💖✨

‘s January Tea & Tarot class was a huge hit!

This month, Misha shared a special course that featured Oracle cards and taught all about how to become a Living Oracle. The class culminated in a very special ceremony designed to help the students with an initiation onto their own personal Oracle path. The energy was amazing and powerful! And of course we pulled cards too.

Misha’s classes are unique, fascinating, and packed with knowledge.

Her students are saying:
“You were on fire last night! Total Empress energy!”
“I could listen to you talk for hours! Another great class”
“This is the highlight of my month”
“I just found the perfect place. This is something I have always wanted to learn and I know I’ve found my teacher”

Her next Tea & Tarot class will take place Friday Feb 27. For the month of love, she will be focusing on teaching you all about how to take care of your deck and keep them happy and supported so that you can get great readings. Whether you’re new to the cards, or a seasoned reader, this will give you an opportunity to take some time to focus on and care for your decks.

Ticket link is in our profile. Come out and let the magic into your life. 💖✨

Congratulations to our first 2026 Usui Reiki Level 1 graduates!

These two ladies, along with four online participants, completed the two week training with last month and are already sharing that their Reiki journey is “simply amazing”.

We are thrilled to be able to welcome so many participants on their Reiki journey. This is such an amazing and uplifting experience and is a wonderful way to offer support for your Self - and others too. These beautiful students spent time learning, practicing, and soaking up all the beautiful energy and wisdom - it was lovely to see them fully embrace their journey. They are already writing to tell us just how much of an impact it is making on their life!

We are also so proud of our Master Teacher Misha, who represents a long lineage tracing all the way back to Japan as well as her own personal connection to Japan and the birthplace of Reiki on Mt Kurama. She holds a beautiful and authentic space for the Reiki energy to come through, and we are so happy that she is able to share her heartfelt teachings.

Thank you all so much for joining us and being part of our Cypress Pillar Reiki family!

👀Did you get our new newsletter? 👀

We are excited to be offering a brand new act of service for our community. Beginning Jan 2026, we will provide you with a monthly offering that includes little bites of wisdom: short articles, brief videos, easy recipes, and more, all intended to help you branch out and grow a healthier you!

Everything that you find in this resource is all created in house, without the use of any AI. While we understand that the robots can be amazing assistants, we also think it’s important to write and create from the heart, and so in our newsletter you will find entries that are just like our classes and sessions. Wisdom that comes from experience, teachings that come from years of study and mastery. We have lived it, we have been through it, and because of that we can share it.

if you’re not up for seeing the shenanigans of Misha, Dr. Brian, James, and our Cypress pillar friends, this is probably not a good resource for you. If you don’t like a little bit of fun and amusement with your healing, you’ll probably want to go elsewhere. But if you like your wisdom with a smile, let us know and we’ll be happy to make sure that your inbox is filled with jovial insight each month.
