nilstaranger.com provides information about the NAIO™ process, a somatic movement education or therapy practice that uses light touch and meditative presence. During a session, the practitioner enters a meditative state called Open Awareness to connect with you and support your experience. You remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a table, and may access states of Open Flow, Open Experience, or Sacred Ground, facilitating a journey of awareness and well-being.

For scheduling appointments and client communication, we use PracticeBetter. You can review their privacy policy here.
