ABOUT

The healing arts are rooted in promoting physical and emotional wellbeing with therapeutic and creative practices that promote change. Respectively, wellness offerings are an alternative and holistic method assisting the internal communication, facilitating a parasympathetic response. This response has been shown to lower stress, reduce tension and pain, improve quality of sleep, as well as aiding in neurological responses for change

At INDIGO, the foundation of wellness begins first with honoring our divine Creator, leaning into the wisdom of the earth, guided by plant medicine (materia medica). This thoughtful and contemplative approach deeply aligns on a cellular and cosmic level. May we be renewed and restored with this truth, leading with humility, grace, and respect, to always be a light in the darkness

Grant Knoll Sycamore

Offering wellness services in a quaint studio attached to the Grant Knoll farmhouse, tucked beneath the historic Grant Knoll Sycamore tree, the oldest tree in Lancaster County, dating back over 300 years. This studio location entrance is accessible by both a ramp and stairs

Access to wellness offerings is a priority of the studio. Options for care may be adjusted and or modified to best support an individual. Any questions or concerns with accessibility for care, please be sure to reach out

During your visit, refresh and hydrate with artesian glass bottled spring and mineral water. Water is best received both before and after a wellness offering to encourage circulation, support hydration, and provide a neurological reset within the mind/body connection

To further support the body systems, tisanes and teas are available with options changing seasonally

Assorted organic, and Fair Trade (when possible) herbal *tisanes (*non caffeinated herbals) are best received before a wellness offerings to promote hydration. Tisanes include herbs, fruits, berries, spices, flowers, and roots infused in water (hot/cold) to release their benefits

Assorted organic, and Fair Trade (when possible) teas are best received after a wellness session to support detoxification. True teas (green, white, black, and oolong) are from the tea bush Camellia sinensis family. True teas contain caffeine and act as a stimulant and are counterproductive to hydration. These are best served after a wellness session to promote detoxification 

In the TCM 5 element model, alcohol is counterintuitive to balance body, mind, and spirit and is not served or available for consumption with your visit. Alcohol inhibits proprioceptors of the brain. Alcohol is dehydrating and promotes disharmony with an interference for wellness

Indigo reserves the right to cease wellness offerings to someone who is under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances during their appointment (and the guest will be responsible for the full amount of the service fee) 

If you are celebrating a special occasion, please be sure to share when making a reservation. Something memorable from the apothecary is incorporated with your visit
