    This is massage for the mind ... through the body…read more The first time I crossed the threshhold of "be in the tao", I was a mess - stressed and tired. Mary Ellen asked me what kind of massage I wanted and I literally put myself in her hands to decide. She chose a chi massage. Within minutes, everything inside me changed. I had visions. I gained clarity. I felt peaceful, yet energized. Creative ideas flowed in my dreams and work for weeks. Everything seemed easier, somehow. It was like a breakthrough after years of serious therapy, but without uttering a word or picking at old emotional wounds. So, of course, I went back. "be in the tao" is in The Gateway office building in Brecksville. The little corner space on the second floor "feels" good. There's a small fountain, Origami cranes floating over the massage table, and I like the music with gongs, chimes & birdsong. Her table is nicely padded and comfortably cozy warm. This time, I wanted to explore the belly massage. It's a detox massage. Who doesn't need to do a little seasonal cleanse. I know its effects are different for everyone. For me, it was like psychedelics without drugs, time-travel sans space suit, and more visions. Let's just say I'll update the post if any of them manifests, and leave it at that. The point is, Mary Ellen dispenses more than muscle manipulation. Ask about the three-years comatose client who, after Mary Ellen's work, is now showing responsiveness to stimulus, for example. If you're experiencing pain and stiffness in your muscles or your mind, consider putting yourself in Mary Ellen's hands.

    I started going to Mary Ellen for some different Chi Kung classes. They taught me SO much!!! I felt…read moreso much better after learning how to breathe properly, stretch and meditate. I was having issues getting pregnant, got some belly work done and ended up pregnant a few months later. Might be related, might not be ;) I like to think it helped! While pregnant I took more classes with her and that's where I really learned how to control my breathing, which helped more than any lamaze class did! As for her massages. The Best! THE most comfortable massage bed on earth. She makes the room so serene and you just feel so peaceful during the massage. I felt personal breakthroughs while on her table. I highly suggest seeing Mary Ellen.

    My friends and I are in law school, and I thought that petting some baby goats would give us a…read moremuch-needed break from our studies. My birthday was coming up and seemed like the perfect opportunity for this idea, so I contacted Feels Like Home Farm to set up a private "snuggle session" for six people. I expected to meet the baby goats, pet some alpacas, and be on our way, but the experience was so much more than that! Marcus (one of the owners) gave our group a full tour of the farm and told us so many interesting things about the animals there. Marcus is a great tour guide and really made the experience for us (and has great travel tips). We all walked away knowing a lot more about the animals on the farm and what taking care of them entails. While I was there, I didn't think about law school once! We all had plenty of opportunities to hold the baby goats, which were even more adorable than I imagined they would be. We also fed the alpacas and met a lot of other animals (adult goats, guard dogs, guard geese, and various cats). If you love animals but cannot have your own farm, or if you are up for a unique experience in the Cleveland area, I highly suggest booking a tour and snuggle session at Feels Like Home Farms! I will be back for goat yoga :)

    Context: I organized a private goat yoga party, working with Alissa (the owner of the farm). She…read morebrought in Deanna Black (41 North Adventures) as the yoga instructor. I'm a huge adventure junkie and....this goat yoga party was one of my favorite adventures to date....This farm is literally a utopia... Feels Like Home Farm is AMAZING for: a) Private Parties - Reasonably priced and SO MUCH FREAKING FUN! Also so unique - you're never going to have another party like this! b) Goat Yoga Events - they run community yoga classes on a somewhat-regular basis throughout the year (schedule is on the farm's website!) and they're a great way to get out and try something new with friends. Their instructor, Deanna Black, is an excellent teacher and make the class very unique. I've been doing yoga for years and I'm kind-of a yoga snob....and I freaking love Deanna. Great way to support a local farm! If I could give Alissa (and her family), Deanna, the farm, the goats, the class, and the entire experience 1,000,000,000 stars, I would. I'll call out a couple things, although the list of positives is far too long to write: 1) The farm: Is STUNNING. LOTS of land and very peaceful. They have ~50 goats, primarily 4 different breeds. All are happy, healthy, ADORABLE, and super friendly. They also have 2 awesome dogs, a CUTE LITTLE PIG named Dottie (omg!), and happy ducks waddling around. Their neighbors let us meet their CRAZY-COOL mini donkeys, cows, and pigs! I honestly never wanted to leave. Alissa and her husband took us on a tour of the farm and taught us all about their animals!! It was AWESOME! 2) The people: Alissa, her husband, and her daughters were unbelievably passionate about what they do at the farm, loving towards their animals, and so excited to share their farm with us. Alissa was INCREDIBLY responsive to all of my requests, and personalized literally EVERY little thing about the party. She was very creative, and thought of ideas I NEVER would have (like bringing in a local food truck!). I interact with a lot of business owners through Yelp, and Alissa has been by far the most fun and passionate one yet. 3) The Yoga: If you want a good workout, Deanna's class is great. She is also EXCELLENT at leading guided meditations. I was so relaxed and present by the end of class. Deanna is also AWESOME at incorporating acro-yoga into her classes. We did some CRAZY moves I've never done before (see my pictures!) 4) Convenient location - The farm is only about 25 - 30 minutes from Ohio City and an easy drive. We had no issues with parking at all. HUGE THANK YOU to all of you for making this such an unbelievably unique experience that none of us will forget!

    I have had the distinct honor to work with David both in person and online for the past 3 years. I…read moream a therapist and have received many years of therapy. Nothing has moved me closer to my authentic self in such a short time as Core Energetics. David is a gifted practitioner, a healing presence and very attuned and intuitive. He's fun to work week yet will challenge me in all the most welcome ways. I hold the deepest respect and gratitude for his excellent care and skillful facilitation. I cannot imagine how the one person who left a negative review had the experience s/he claimed to have. It does not align with my knowledge of his ethics or behavior. And I know several people who see him regularly - we all are in awe of his way of working towards transformation. With appreciation! Lisa

    I have had the good fortune to work with David Phillips at Energetic Awakenings for my organization…read moreas well as for myself and my family. At YWCA Greater Cleveland engaged Energetic Awakenings to help us process and talk about some internal issues and difficult subjects. David Phillips was our practitioner. His calming presence and excellent facilitation skills, helped us to create a safe space, bring some issues to the forefront, and create action steps. Personally, I have participated in a group workshop with Energetic Awakenings where they helped me process some difficult emotions through core body work. I did not realize how much emotion I was holding on to, and how that pent-up emotion was holding me back. Even though I was in a group setting, I felt that the practitioner was able to give each person (including me) the individual attention that they needed. They made me feel safe. When my 20 year old son was having some personal problems and struggling at university, I took him to Energetic Awakenings. Of course, I was not in the room when they were working due to patient confidentiality. However, I can say that my son was more hopeful and at peace after his work at Energetic Awakenings. Based on my professional and personal experiences with Energetic Awakenings and David Phillips, I recommend them with the highest regard.
