Why Ardea?

Ardea is the genus name of the Great Heron.

The heron carries symbolism across many different cultures and is a guide to finding your sacred serenity, inner stillness, and grace. It also symbolizes innate wisdom, strength, and determination found without needing great pillars of support, as the bird gracefully maneuvers through the sometimes murky waters of life’s journey.

At Ardea Wellness Center we guide you towards inner serenity. And just like the Great Heron, you hold innate wisdom and strength inside you — waiting to be unlocked. Although the waters of life can be murky, we’re here to help you maneuver on your path with grace, through transformative healing.

"Kelley has helped me immeasurably. She's untied knots I've had for years in my neck and shoulders, and also addressed long standing issues with my hip flexors and sacrum."

— Laura M.
