Welcome to our Healing Clinic

NIASZIIH Healing

(pronounced Ni-a-zee-EYE)

is a nature-based system of healing that works with awareness and deep contact in healing the physical, spirit, and mystery. It addresses both the limitations and the gifts that arise from our wounding, while moving towards what we truly desire. As NIASZIIH healers we offer perspectives that may shift a client's perception, even subtle shifts can radically change how someone moves through their world.

What is clinic?


We are organized and run primarily by volunteer practitioners and students in the NIASZIIH healing philosophy, with the acknowledgement that each of us are at different phases of 'being' a student in this modality from two to seven years. We are learning from these experiences alongside of you.

How does it work?
Each client will be joined by 2-4 healers for a 60 minutes session. The healers will ask inquiry questions and may suggest body movements, shapes or the use of props during the session. In-person sessions are hands-on and clients remain fully clothed.


How do I pay?
The clinic is donation-based, with your donation as an energetic exchange for the healing work, we use these funds to maintain the upkeep of clinic. Our suggested range is $65-185 and we require a deposit of $20, which is non-refundable and part of your commitment to yourself and your healing. The rest of your payment is due when you come to clinic, ideally in cash. We welcome everyone to our clinic and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Our vision for NIASZIIH Healing Clinic of Ithaca -
    • to offer monthly donation-based healing work to our community in Ithaca, NY
    • to offer students and practitioners of NIASZIIH an opportunity to hone their healing skills
    • to deepen our skills in offering this path of healing
    • to build connections among our healing community and with our larger community too
