Tibetan Usui Reiki Session
Reiki is an energy-based treatment, getting into every nook and cranny of emotional, physical and spiritual blocks, forcing out of the body what is not serving you.
Science has proven that everything is made up of energy, we are no exception! In a session source energy, also known as Reiki energy moves through the body to correct misalignments, dissolves blocks and connects us back with our sole purpose.
You can also request an “absent healing”. This is done without you being in the clinic but done absently.
1 hour - $100.00 Absent Healing: start from $100.00

About Us
At Holistic Health at Crookwell, we believe in the transformative power of whole-body massage and therapy to nourish the mind, body, and soul. Established with a passion for wellness and a commitment to personalized care, our team of dedicated therapists invites you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation.
I am passionate about living above the line of wellness and vitality. I believe we all can take our health into our own hands. It is up to us to live a healthy life. We are surrounded by thriving forests with an abundance of healing plants to use. We must teach our children the knowledge and wisdom of our nature and be respectful to Mother Earth.
If we are to remember our place in the world, then we need to make better choices, not just for our survival but for the health of our planet. Our innate intelligent body can heal itself, given the right tools (the modalities we offer).
It is time to help and support each other, help our children remember their importance to our future, walk with respect on earth, and show compassion to all its inhabitants. Starting with me, let’s live a life we were all inherently born for — to live happily and healthily and follow our passion without the distraction of disease.
Owner/Founder Ambar S Culhane Bowen Therapy (Certificate 4) Raindrop Technique (Level 2) Whole Body Massage (Relaxation) Tibetan Usui Reiki Grand Master/Teacher
How We Started
My husband Paul and I, with our two girls, came to live in Crookwell in 2005. Since then, we have built a wonderful life on the farm with sheep, cows, and dogs.
Opening my home clinic business in 2016 was one of my proudest moments. I want to provide a most needed service for farming families, who are the backbone of our beautiful country.
My childhood was steeped in traditions from my motherland, Uruguay, in South America. My mother healed with traditional medicines, herbs, and medicinal infusions, and I use those healing traditions today. I am grateful to have the best of both worlds, living with my traditions from Uruguay and being a proud Australian.

What our clients are saying
"I had a Raindrop technique done by Ambar and it was really the best experience like no other. It's like a massage with oils put on your body in a specific order to help your body detox, de-stress and repair. The benefits lasts for many days after. An incredible modality that I enjoy and experience regularly."
Gail, Energy Healing by Gail, Mascot NSW
"I found Ambar's Raindrop sessions to be extremely soothing and relaxing. The sessions I have had were very needed and appreciated. You leave with a sense of tranquillity and peacefulness from her sessions."
Sandy, Laggan NSW
"Amazing 'head to toe' massage treatment from Ambar. Relaxing atmosphere, luxurious oils and excellent attention to detail. First visit but I will definitely be booking again and recommending to others, thank you."
Sian, Laggan NSW
"Just stepping into Ambar's clinic is like walking into a little space of heaven. The hour I spend under Ambar's care is healing enough. Any of the treatments Ambar does, in my opinion, is my way of investing in my health and it reduces my doctor's office visits.
We can't do everything ourselves, we need support from people like Ambar who support us in our busy, hectic lives with her healing hands. I recommend Ambar to anyone who wants a holistic approach to health. Thank you, Ambar."
GL, Narrawa/Wheeo NSW
"I recently attended Ambar's Reiki 1 workshop and I must say it was a truly transformative experience! The workshop was well-structured, engaging and informative, with a perfect balance of theory and practical exercises.
The content was easy to understand and I felt supported throughout each day. By the end of the workshop, I felt like I had gained a wealth of knowledge and practical skills that I could apply in my life.
Overall, I would highly recommend attending this workshop to anyone who is looking to grow either personally or professionally."
Anonymous, attendee Tibetan Usui Reiki, 1st Degree workshop
"My whole being loves Raindrop massage. Stretched out on a sift, luxurious massage table; with peaceful background music lulling my senses.
Ambar's healing hands gently massage my feet and back with divine, aromatic essential oils; tranquillity, deeply nurturing, harmonizing relaxing, rejuvenating -
physically, mentally, and emotionally, BLISS!!
I can't wait for my next magical Raindrop Massage!
If you haven't experienced a Raindrop technique massage, I encourage you to papmer yourself. Thank you, Ambar."
Elaine D, Laggan NSW
"Yo tuvo el honor de completar Reiki 1 y Reiki 2 con Ambar. Reiki es una energuia de Tibet, que nos ayuda.
Ambar es una persona dulce, las esplicaciones son bein claras y los recomiendo a todo el que dece hacer Tibetan Reiki.
Gracias Ambar"
Maria (review in Spanish), Tibetan Usui Reiki I & II
initiate, NSW
"I have experienced all of Ambar's treatments she has on offer for a number of years and love and have benefited very well from them all.
When Ambar announced she was teaching Reiki 1st Degree, I jumped at the chance. I loved the Reiki workshops so much I signed up and did the 2nd one as well.
The Reiki workshop included so many different healing techniques that work well with Reiki and I have enjoyed it all.
Thank you Ambar for what you bring to the community."
Sharyn Mallinson, Beauty Secrets, Goulburn NSW
"I have completed boh level I and level II Reiki under the guidance of Ambar and, I can't recommend her highly enough. You are guided with loving care through both days (each level goes for 2 days-unlike other places), and feel fully emersed in this amazing modality.
Ambar is always available for guidance afterwards and, you don't feel like you are left to work it out on your own. As a matter of fact, Ambar makes you feel like part of her family.
Choosing to make this journey with Ambar and her Reiki family will not disappoint but leave you feeling nurtured, supported and part of a wonderful community."
