Frequently Asked Questions

Owner Noemi Pareja created Pura Vie to provide the communities she serves an integrative practice that can help facilitate, educate, and empower people to heal their mind and body as a whole to connect with their spirit, understand their Soul’s Purpose and provide the necessary tools for individuals to live healthy, happy and balanced lives.

She sought after like-minded practitioners with unique skills, gifts and abilities to support her mission and vision to help people heal themselves. The PV Collective is the name she gives the group of providers located inside of her studio.

Together they work side-by-side to complete this work that is their Soul’s calling and purpose. It is a unique healing practice that is open to all people that are seeking for mindful, higher conscious and holistic practices. 

We are not a day spa nor do we operate solely as a massage studio, we are a holistic healing center that provides various bodywork services to heal the body physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We see a limited number of clients on a daily basis as we often provide coaching, intuitive counseling, and other assessments prior, during and after services. We dedicate ample time to connect with our clients to ensure their on-going treatments and healing sessions are producing the highest outcome for what they are seeking. This is not typical of a day spa or massage therapy clinic. 

Due to the sensitive nature of our work as well to honor and respect the privacy of our clients, we do not accept Walk-In Services. We operate by appointment only for all services and classes.

You can reserve services via telephone or our convenient online booking system. We will request a card be kept on file to confirm your appointment with your practitioner. As a service-based business, time is our product and cannot be returned or sold again if a client does not show up for their reserved service without prior communication. A card on file guarantees that you value our time, intend to come to our service and respect us as practitioners.

Service is only charged to the card on file if you request it or have not adhered to our cancellation policy and have not attempted to communicate with us.

We accept Cash or Cards. Checks are not permitted. We do not take health insurance, but we do accept HSA cards.

Payment is made directly to the practitioner who provided your service. ALL providers are self-employed and operate individual businesses inside Pura Vie Holistic Studio.

Most offer separate service menus besides the main studio menu, with varying pricing. Those specialty menus are on this website and our online booking system.

Please give us at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Doing so will avoid a cancellation fee. Please view our studio policies for more in-depth information.

We will ask you about your medical background, medical conditions, mental and emotional health, and spiritual well-being. Our approach is holistic of mind, body, and spirit, and we believe that alignment of all three is the best for optimal living. 

A Western Service is a Massage Therapy treatment that solely focuses on the physical body, no energy or spiritual support services are provided during the session. This service is customized to the individual and will include techniques that are comparable to a luxury spa massage: Swedish (Relaxation), Deep Tissue, Sports, Aromatherapy, Assisted Stretching, Pre-Natal, Couples Massage. Our team are all Western-Trained practitioners.

An Eastern Service is a massage therapy treatment that originated in Eastern Countries-Japan, China, India, and many more. The focus of these services is primarily the movement of energy in the body and muscle healing is secondary. It is the belief that moving energy to flow better to organs, tissues and muscles will allow the physical body to relax better and heal faster. Techniques utilized in these services are not the same as Western Massage.

An energetic healing service is a session that solely focuses on facilitating a safe, emotional, and spiritual processing experience to release repressed and suppressed emotions, pain, and trauma from the mind and body through a variety of different techniques.

Instruments, somatic breathwork, guided meditation and visualization, and healing touch can be used to provide this service. 

The practitioners who provide healing services have faith-based backgrounds in various teachings and beliefs. We hold space for all religious practices and honor your chosen words for Higher Power, such as God, Source, or Universe.

The practitioners do not believe they heal anyone. They facilitate healing by connecting to the universal energy present on the earth and available to everyone. They also believe in connecting with the Higher Power, the Creator, whom they identify as God- the same as many religious organizations, churches, and faith-based practices. When they place their hands on people, prayer, meditation, and invocation to God provide support and healing energy for all. 

Certain practices are performed that honor esoteric and indigenous teachings that these practitioners have learned and have been passed on by family culture and historic preservation.

Sound healing is physical, emotional, and energetic through vibrational instruments that emit sound set at a specific frequency and resonance to penetrate the body. The sensation of the vibration felt within the body elicits an immediate response within the brain, nervous system, and tissue. 

Sound bath meditation combines sound healing with audible guided visualization of the practitioner to assist the receiver in relaxing into a deeper conscious state for profound improvement. It can be facilitated for an individual or group at once.
