YOUR PATH TO TRANSFORMATION STARTS AT THE CENTER OF GRACE
At Center of Grace, we believe in an all-encompassing approach to health and self-care. The cumulative effects of nourishing all of the essential parts of your “self” can have a major impact on your overall well-being. Neglecting even one piece will affect the holistic prosperity of your mind, body, and spirit. Our caring providers are here to help those looking for guidance on how to achieve inner peace, improve their overall health, and become a better version of themselves.
Treatments & Services
BIOFEEDBACK
Train your body and your brain for optimal regulation and resilience.
At Center of Grace, we provide biofeedback training that has been scientifically shown to be an effective treatment for many psychologically and medically-based conditions, including:
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Depression
- Trauma & PTSD
- Chronic Pain
- Tension Headaches
- High Blood Pressure
- Asthma
Through Biofeedback training, we’ll help you hone your ability to regulate emotional or physiological activations in challenging situations, which can improve your ability to solve problems under pressure, increase endurance, boost resilience, and achieve better results in your professional, artistic, or athletic arenas.
DANCE/MOVEMENT THERAPY
Integrating the body, mind, and spirit through dance.
Dance/Movement Therapy uses movement to help people improve their overall wellbeing through mental, emotional, physical, and social integration.
First practiced in the 1940s, DMT is based on the idea that movement is our first language – beginning in utero and continuing throughout a person’s life. The theory states that the mind, body, and spirit are interrelated and people can utilize movement to help them process and understand their emotions.
Depending on a person’s mental health needs and physical abilities, DMT can help to increase strength, improve flexibility, boost coordination, and reduce muscle tension.
DMT has also been shown to support mental wellbeing and overall quality of life by:
– Improving self-esteem
– Improving interpersonal skills
– Promoting self-awareness
– Promoting calm
– Teaching coping skills
– Teaching empathy
Our DMT provider, Jessie Gaworecki, is a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist, a certified RYT-200 teacher with the Yoga Alliance, and a certified Reiki Level II practitioner. She received her MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling at Antioch University.
Jessie understands it can be intimidating to dive into the body or the arts, so she paces each session based on where her clients feel comfortable. Her perspective as a therapist is that she is both a fellow traveler and a guide on the therapeutic journey. With compassion and guidance, she leads clients from mindfulness into embodiment and expression, proceeding to resolution and transformation of what holds them back in life.
DYNAMIC THERMAL IMAGING
A painless and non-invasive approach to healthier living.
Through Dynamic Thermal Imaging, we’re able to provide clients with accurate and thorough thermographic scans in a comfortable and private setting. The thermography services we offer can graphically display and record potential areas of inflammation or other health issues by assessing your skin’s surface temperature.
We are able to offer both partial, whole-body, and breast thermography to properly map areas of inflammation from neurologic or musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Thermography is useful for detecting and monitoring many health conditions including:
- Vein Conditions
- Breast Cancer Signals
- Fibromyalgia
- Visceral Dysfunction
- Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
- Arthritis
- Overuse Strain Injuries
- Chronic Lower Back Pain
- Nerve Pain or Injury
- Whiplash
- Headaches/Sinus Pain
- Skin Cancer
- Sports Injuries
- Cancerous Tissue
With Dynamic Thermal Imaging, we can help determine where your pain is coming from and ultimately determine the best way to treat it.
While x-rays, ultrasounds, and MRIs all provide information related to the structures found within the body, Dynamic Thermal Imaging is capable of showing physiological changes and metabolic processes for additional insight.
For more information on how Dynamic Thermal Imaging can help with treatment and prevention, contact Center of Grace or schedule your appointment below.

HeartMath can help you access the power of your heart’s intelligence so you can improve your focus and creativity, elevate your emotional clarity, lower your stress and anxiety levels, strengthen your immune system, promote your body’s optimal performance, and even slow the aging process.
Research demonstrates that the messages the heart sends to the brain can profoundly influence perception, behavior, performance, and health.

As a result, HeartMath has been scientifically proven to:
- Improve Focus
- Improve Attention
- Increase Energy Levels

This immediate feedback provides an understanding of how our individual nervous system is shifting from moment-to-moment.
By tuning into these subtle processes, clients are able to take charge of and quickly regulate their physiology. Inquire or schedule your appointment today!
HONORING CIRCLES
Embrace the power of ceremony and celebration.
Honor gatherings started when five friends got together in 2000 to have Soul Sister Suppers, every other Wednesday, in an ordinary living room in Upstate NY. No teachers or gurus, no set agendas or proposed beliefs. Just one strong principle — when you change within, the world changes. And instead of closing the door, they left it open…to all.
Today, Honoring Circles have organically rippled to four cities around the globe. People meditate for the first 15 mins, engage in a circle of reflective sharing, and conclude the night with a mindful prayer. A palpable sense of gratitude and community weaves through it all. The ripples of inner transformation are countless — and continue on.
Rent the Honoring Room for a Celebration:
$150/rent room or $250/with a facilitator
Contact us to reserve or for Honoring Circles details.

INFRARED SAUNA
Did you know the secret to weight loss and anti-aging may just be infrared heat?
-
Detoxification – Detox on the deepest cellular level thanks to a rise in your core body temperature. Bask in the glow of a deep, detoxifying sweat.
-
Relaxation – Infrared is a gentle, soothing, and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep.
-
Lowers Blood Pressure – Sweating increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and helps circulation.

Pain Relief – Infrared heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve all of your pain, from minor aches to chronic pain like fibromyalgia. It can even speed up injury recovery time.
-
Improved Circulation – Regular infrared sauna use can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.

Wound Healing – Scientific research proves that near infrared therapy increases the skin’s healing process by promoting faster cell regeneration and tissue growth.

REIKI
Reiki, pronounced “Ray-Key”, meaning “life force energy”, is a Japanese holistic healing technique. The main purpose of a Reiki treatment is not only to ‘clear’ your energy but also to promote self awareness so you can carry this into your day to day life.

What Are The Results Of A Reiki Session?
Reiki is directed by the Universal Life Force and knows exactly where to go to restore balance to the Mind, Body and Spirit. With that said, the experience of a Reiki treatment is different for each person. Some of the results may or may not include: Self-knowledge, relaxation, release of past pain and anxiety, physical healing, energizing and comforting.
Most clients feel relaxed and a sense of general wellbeing. Reiki helps to reduce pain and stress, it may decrease the need for pain medication, accelerate the healing process, improves the immune response, speeds up the elimination of toxins, helps manage side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, reduces stress and anxiety by supporting the relaxation response, decreases blood pressure and heart rate, improves sleep and appetite, reduces nightmares, enhances emotional clarity, helps one conceive, supports you physically, emotionally and spiritually, a valuable tool in the quest for spiritual growth, and provides support during times of grief just to name a few.

TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING & BREATHWORK
The old Western way of trying to heal the body through pharmaceuticals isn’t working and hasn’t for a long time. Cutting out organs when they aren’t working well isn’t either. There is a time and place for pharmaceuticals and surgery, yes, but not as a first resort. Our bodies are amazing works of art that have the ability to heal themselves of almost anything if we take a close look at our life style habits that got us there in the first place.
Your transformational coach, Tess Teater, combines her coaching with breathwork to integrate mind, body, and spirit. Focusing on self awareness, inner child work, shadow work, and reparenting, she then introduces the body to the process through breathwork, which helps to release and integrate unresolved trauma and emotion.
We are our own best healers, and Tess is here to serve as a guide to help direct and mentor you throughout the entire process.
