On December 1, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Universal Healing Arts Connection, in Cortlandt Manor, will host a holiday event featuring discounted gift certificates for its services and low-cost trial sessions of massage or CranialSacral Therapy (CST) from a licensed therapist.

Universal Healing Arts Connection offers an array of healing services for adults and children, says president and owner Shima Chayvet. In addition to CST and massage therapy, its programming includes Reiki healing and classes, Divine Energy Healing, holistic weight loss, art classes, yoga, qigong, astrology readings and other nontraditional opportunities for growth.

 “Our workshops are led by a curated selection of passionate, well-informed and generous experts who share their knowledge on a variety of subjects,” Chayvet says. “We also have a metaphysical shop, The Soul Connection, offering items like crystals, jewelry, oils, sage, pendulums and oracle cards.”

The December 1 event will feature gift certificates at a 15 percent discount, 15 percent off gift shop purchases, and 15-minute massage or CST sessions for $15.

While the special pricing is temporary, Chayvet says, the spirit and mission of Universal Healing Arts Center are the same year round.  

 “Every day, we work to create a community where people can reconnect with their best selves, support neighbors and kindred spirits, and bring compassion, self-realization, kindness and happiness into their daily lives,” she says.
