As the body naturally downshifts and relaxes, muscles soften, breathing slows, and rest becomes accessible. When the body feels safe, the mind eases, allowing a deeper level of awareness to rise naturally.
Many clients feel calmer, lighter, and more grounded after a session. Some notice a sense of mental clarity or deep rest, while others experience subtle shifts in how the body feels or responds. The effects of a session may continue to unfold over time as the body integrates the experience.
Sound or subtle vibration may be included to support relaxation and integration.

New Offering for 2026✨
Relaxation Therapy at Shift Studio is a structured, nervous system centered practice of gentle, intentional contact and steady presence. Each session follows a framework of light hand placements held at specific points on or just above the body, supporting a gradual shift from stress toward a more settled, restorative state.
As the nervous system settles, the body naturally relaxes, muscles soften, breathing slows, and rest becomes accessible. When the body feels safe, the mind eases, allowing a deeper level of awareness to rise naturally.

So much gratitude sharing these healing sounds with you! Here is a raw recording of our last sound bath for you to enjoy. You may have to adjust the volume a bit (I’ll do better next time😉)
This Sound Bath was recorded during the Libra New Moon Scorpio Cusp 2025. The alchemies, textures and sounds have been curated for this sound bath to align with the frequency of cardinal air of Libra guiding us into the fixed waters of Scorpio, where balanced deepens into transformation.
It’s recommended to wear headphones for a clearer and deeper immersive experience into sound through a recording.

Sound and energy healing private and group sessions.

This New Moon falls in the zodiac sign of Libra, cardinal air, bringing the energy of alignment, initiation, and balance. As we move toward Scorpio season on October 23rd, we begin to feel the pull toward depth, change, and transformation.
This is an invitation to fortify and align your thoughts, words, and actions so that as you enter this next cycle, you do so in integrity. When we are in alignment, what’s meant for us stays, and what’s not begins to fall away.
Where might you be in or out of alignment?
How will you be showing up in this new phase?

The Practitioner
My name is Abra Merlino and I am a Reiki Master/Teacher, Integrated Energy Therapy® Advanced Practitioner, CTAA certified Meditation Practitioner, Akashic Records Reader, certified in Sound and Crystal Therapy, and am an Intuitive Reader. I had a wonderful 12 year career as a elementary school teacher. After the birth of my second child, I was fortunate enough to stay at home where I studied the facets of energy and how it works. I have always had and interest in energy work and the sacred arts since very young. As a small child around the age of 8, I had 3 profound transcendental experiences. A diagnosed thyroid condition in 2009 inspired me to find alternative ways to heal myself especially when western medicine wasn't working effectively. Now in remission since 2011, this journey of self-healing and exploration compels me today to share these amazing energy healing arts and their benefits for everyone on every level.
All that would like to step into their power, heal, learn spiritual self-care, expand their breadth of knowledge, connect with a community of like-minded individuals, or are unsure of what they are looking for but feel this is the place for them are welcomed through Shift Studio's doors.
May you always walk with the essence of truth, light, and love,
Abra Merlino
