I had the most relaxing experience possible at Indigo Dragon. Charlene Goodman was my therapist and she is so loving and kind, not to mention a very skillful practitioner. I saw Charlene about a week before a very stressful event and after her treatment, all the stress was released and didn’t return! Charlene worked with me to pinpoint the areas that held the most tension and worked through each one. She devoted special attention to spots she was able to pinpoint that needed more work. I will be a lifelong client of Indigo Dragon and am so happy they are part of my neighborhood and such awesome contributors to the community of Leucadia!

I met Karleigh at Indigo Dragon when I needed body work/massage after an intense car accident. When she introduced herself, her energy was so bright and welcoming that I immediately knew I was in the right place. Throughout my recovery, my body always felt totally replenished after a session. Having fully recovered now, I still am on a regular schedule because it simply improves my life! Her practice utilizes several different techniques and she is excellent at understanding what your body (and your soul) needs. The cupping therapy has been really great for me. I definitely recommend scheduling a session with Karleigh!

This gorgeous sanctuary has provided me with the best support I have ever received. I have worked with Amy, Ashley, and Jen on numerous occasions and their work has helped me heal. I was struggling with candida, anxiety, and acne. With the help of herbs and acupuncture my stagnation became fluid, my blood and skin healed and I am less anxious.

Sound Meditation Healing


Enjoy a curated experience based on your needs. An integrative sound healing session begins with preparing the body to optimally receive the sound by breathing, gentle movement and grounding. The sound portion of the session is highlighted by crystal alchemy bowls as well as chimes, rainstick and other instruments.  The participant is slowly guided back from their relaxed state through an intentional meditation.  Other complimentary modalities can also be included such as guided journaling, restorative yoga, creative expression and nature immersion.

Utilizing crystal alchemy singing bowls and simple healing techniques on a consistent basis, is a beautiful gentle practice to allow stillness and bring calm to our mind, body and souls. Some proven benefits include: reduced blood pressure, lower heart rate, improved sleep, reduced bone + joint pain, memory + attention improvement.

SOUND SOUL


SOUND: free from injury or disease; free from defect or decay; solid; firm; stable; exhibiting or based on thorough knowledge and experience 

SOUL: person; personification; the moral and emotional nature of human beings; the quality that arouses emotion and sentiment; the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life; a person’s total self; a moving spirit

How often do you just need some time to yourself? How often do you actually take it? How many times have you gotten a spa treatment, tried a new hobby, been to a wellness retreat or workshop, only to return home and back into your daily routine that doesn’t sustain these habits, feelings or practices? Yes, I know, we’re all busy. But your body is sending you imperative messages. Do you hear yourself?

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard clients say something like, “I need to do this on a regular basis.” Or “I just want to keep lying here in silence.” Or “I feel like I’m in my own little cocoon.” Or “I have this weird energy I don’t know what to do with.”

You spoke. I listened.

The Sound Soul sessions are designed specifically to foster your sustainable overall wellness life, or SOWL. We’ll combine intention, intuition, science, relaxation and fun. Utilizing balancing sound as an inspiring catalyst to engage and honor what your mind + body + soul needs, this program will be an immersive opportunity to be present with yourself. An opportunity to explore various ways of expression, with the hope of leading to a consistent practice. Think of this as your capsule. Your designated held space. Therapy adjacent. Structured spontaneity. Training wheels for sustainable overall wellbeing.

This 1:1 program will consist of four 90 minute sessions over the course of a 4-6 week period. A discovery conversation will take place prior to beginning the program to establish areas of focus based on your interest and intentions. We’ll use sound and the insights it elicits to inform a complimentary self expression practice for each session.

4 90 min Session 1:1 Program
4-6 Week

  • 45 min sound w/ or w/o restorative yoga
  • 45 min curated programming considering pillars of wellbeing such as: relational, emotional, financial, spiritual, environmental, intellectual, vocational, physical. And include activities such as:

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

This light-touch therapy focuses on the craniosacral and fascial systems of the body. By unwinding tension patterns, function and balance is re-established on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. You will feel these releases during your session and will relax deeply in ways you may never have before.

Craniosacral therapy (CST) intimately works within the connective tissue, which essentially connects all aspects of the body together and is integral for nervous system vitality. CST focuses primarily in the regions of your cranium and sacrum, which serve as integral points for brain and spinal integration.

Restoring balance to the nervous system allows for neurological, physiological, and anatomical changes to occur. This translates into healing for a range of ailments, from physical injuries to mental-emotional imbalances.

Our sessions will be personalized and tailored to you. We will identify any impediments that are preventing you from achieving your goals, and we will systematically fix every one of them using Healing From the Body Level Up (HBLU) methodology. This may involve transforming limiting beliefs into affirming ones, or healing traumatic situations in your past, or releasing negative emotions, or releasing unconscious self sabotage patterns. In any case, my approach is gentle but direct.

At the conclusion of each session, you may be given a personalized treatment plan to include recommendations for vitamins, supplements, herbs, and/or homeopathic remedies. You may also be given homework assignments of yoga, meditation, relaxation exercises, or specific tasks. Your homework will be uniquely tailored to your needs.

Physical Therapy


With over 20 years in the wellness industry, Dr. Lara Langdon combines her extensive clinical and academic background to create a unique East meets West approach to her patient care. With her passion for cutting-edge technologies, Lara offers a diverse range of solutions for patients “who have tried everything”.  Integrating the body’s bioelectrical pathways, Lara approaches dis-ease, pain, and suffering of the physical body by reconciling physical, mental, and emotional states as a gateway into true and more permanent healing.

For the past 5 years, Lara has implemented into her practice Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), a relaxing, drug-free, and non-invasive technique using low-level (micro-amperage) electrical currents to relieve pain and accelerate healing. This “bio-resonance” can reduce inflammation, repair tissue, and promote anti-aging effects while balancing the entire nervous system. Lara views FSM as a revolutionary approach to restoring the body’s natural state of health, as she remains dedicated to advancing industry practices and encouraging practitioners to reexamine the human body’s intricacies.

In 2017, Lara collaborated with Indigo Dragon Center to develop a physical therapy practice that employs individualized, holistic methodologies. Working with the Indigo Dragon team of acupuncturists has been a transformative experience for Lara, for through their collaboration, she has better integrated Eastern philosophy into a largely Western-based physical therapy profession.

Previously, in 2006, Lara joined the University of California San Diego Medical School, and Skaggs School of Pharmaceutical Medicine as an Assistant Clinical Professor, instructing Anatomy and Dissection to second year medical and pharmacy students. Co-currently, Lara held an Assistant Professorship at the University of St. Augustine Doctor of Physical Therapy Program teaching anatomy, musculoskeletal imaging and myofascial release techniques.  The ten years she spent exploring and teaching the inner workings of the body have shaped her unique view of the body and elevated her skill set in addressing difficult and complex cases.

Prior to earning her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Massachusetts General Hospital, Lara received her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from California State University at Long Beach. Before her acceptance into the Long Beach PT program, she pursued a Journalism degree at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Lara holds a Physical Therapy License from the Physical Therapy Board of California. She is also an APTA Credentialed Clinical Instructor, NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Advanced Practitioner of FSM, and Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (Emeritus).

Outside of the workplace, Lara loves all things outdoors, energized by nature, the ocean, and connecting with her friends and family. Additionally, she advocates for healthy self-reflection and daily mindfulness as an avid participant in yoga.

Acupuncture


Acupuncture is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years. It is used to treat a wide range of ailments from the common cold to back pain, allergies and depression. (Click here to see the complete list as compiled by the World Health Organization.)

As a safe, drug free and natural method of healing, acupuncture is increasingly popular and often recommended by Western medical doctors as an effective element of patient treatment.

On your first visit we will diagnose you through the eyes of Chinese medicine, explain what your body is telling us, and how we will approach your treatment plan. Your treatment will be tailored uniquely for you and your needs and may include acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and herbal therapy. We create a warm, comfortable environment for your session to allow you to relax and fully enjoy the journey to improved health.

I had the most relaxing experience possible at Indigo Dragon. Charlene Goodman was my therapist and she is so loving and kind, not to mention a very skillful practitioner. I saw Charlene about a week before a very stressful event and after her treatment, all the stress was released and didn’t return! Charlene worked with me to pinpoint the areas that held the most tension and worked through each one. She devoted special attention to spots she was able to pinpoint that needed more work. I will be a lifelong client of Indigo Dragon and am so happy they are part of my neighborhood and such awesome contributors to the community of Leucadia!

I met Karleigh at Indigo Dragon when I needed body work/massage after an intense car accident. When she introduced herself, her energy was so bright and welcoming that I immediately knew I was in the right place. Throughout my recovery, my body always felt totally replenished after a session. Having fully recovered now, I still am on a regular schedule because it simply improves my life! Her practice utilizes several different techniques and she is excellent at understanding what your body (and your soul) needs. The cupping therapy has been really great for me. I definitely recommend scheduling a session with Karleigh!

This gorgeous sanctuary has provided me with the best support I have ever received. I have worked with Amy, Ashley, and Jen on numerous occasions and their work has helped me heal. I was struggling with candida, anxiety, and acne. With the help of herbs and acupuncture my stagnation became fluid, my blood and skin healed and I am less anxious. Acupuncture is based on Chinese medicine. I often ask what everything means and how it works and they educate me while I’m on the table. I love knowing how my body functions and the way natural medicine works. Thankful for this space.
