Inside the mostly white, wood-accented movement room is where clients will engage in yoga, dance therapy and meditation.
The brand-new center also offers nutritional counseling, detox and cleanse programs, sauna sessions and intuitive readings, most of which can be booked individually or with a group. Prices range from $10 drop-in fee for something like an hourlong yoga workshop, and upward for different types of therapy and counseling, with Synergy Studio members able to take advantage of lower prices for their membership.
Trained therapists will lead the various physical, nutritional and therapeutic services for aches and pains, anxiety or tiredness.
In the main area adjacent to the front desk is Boka Box. The Boka Box operation includes a kitchen situated behind its own checkout counter and glass display lined with paleo and vegan meals.
The paleo diet, also called the “caveman diet,” is based on eating foods a typical hunter-gatherer would certainly eat — no dairy or grains, plenty of meat, fish, vegetables and no processed food.
With Boka Box catering to Synergy’s carnivores, Delish Café will supply meals for their vegan customers, Calvo says.
While Boka Box will close at 2 p.m., the wellness center will remain open for scheduled evening classes.

Intuitive readings
Intuitive readings make up a number of services, depending on the reader.
One of the two tasked with intuitive readings for Synergy Wellness clients is Venerable Duke, a Buddhist monk and a medium, Calvo says.
He uses tarot cards, stones or metal for his readings, according to Calvo.
The other reader uses playing cards to read clients.
Returning workshop facilitator, Andrea Robison, will be in Guam for the summer and will teach energy medicine skills, which features conscious positive thinking to improve one’s life.
Both Duke and Robison have hosted workshops for Synergy Studios before, and will now be practicing out of the brand-new center.

Also featured in the brand-new space is a massage room. Calvo says this is where customers will take part in Reiki therapy, a Japanese-based therapy of having the practitioner’s hands lightly placed on or just above a person and regarded as a way to heal energy. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health states that while little high-quality research about Reiki has actually been done, it’s been studied to heal “pain, anxiety, fatigue and depression,” and is generally safe, though it should not replace conventional care.
“This is just phase one. Eventually I’d like to have a wellness resort,” Calvo says. In California and the Philippines, she says she’s frequented similar facilities that feature 1-week detox programs. In the next phase the center may also expand to include colon hydrotherapy to cleanse the colon and chelation, or cleansing heavy metals and minerals from one’s body. Both are purported to detoxify the body.
In a world of constant external stimulation, the brand-new Synergy center encourages the kind of introspection developed centuries ago.
“It’s healing down to your cellular level,” Calvo says. “Mental, emotional and physical alignment.”
So if the idea of ridding your body of heavy metals or energy healing seems almost intangible to you, it might be the best time to get a first-hand account of how those practices would certainly align your mind, spirit and body at Synergy’s brand-new center.
