The program includes acupuncture and naturopathic treatments, which work to calm an overactive nervous system and regulate hormones; hydrotherapy and therapeutic massages, which release tension held deep in the body and ease physical restlessness; and yoga, pranayama, and guided meditation, which slow the breath, quiet racing thoughts, and gently guide the body back into its natural rhythm of rest. It is the coming together of all of these, in one considered rhythm, that allows deep, lasting sleep to return.
