In an email one year ago she briefly mentioned that her husband has crazy work hours and said it…read morewouldn't be fair to take on new clients. Then I kind of forgot about this. I reached back a year later to fix a session. She didn't mention it again on the phone or explicit stated there is a high chance that she might have to cancel last minute to prepare me. She fixed a date then cancelled the day before and then I fixed another date a month later then she cancelled again the day before. This gave me feelings of being dismissed, not valued, not taken seriously, not considered important. All the things I am trying to get help with from a reiki practioner and life coach. I also had to have my husband take care of my child to do this with her. I also had to take time off work to be there during work hours. These things matter to me too. I didn't think this was a professional thing to do. And more importantly she never said I might have to cancel due to my husband's work hours or made that very clear. I don't recommend this service because of last minute cancellations.

I've had a beautiful and transformative experience with Holomua Healing Arts in Alameda, founded by…read moreBritt Yap. Over the past year, I've received several services including the 2-Hour Life Coaching + Reiki session, Reiki 1 & 2 Practitioner Certification class, Distance "Sunrise Reiki," and most recently the Spiritual Life Coaching Certification class. I'm also looking forward to joining the Virtual Mana Healing sessions now that they're back -- it feels powerful to heal in a safe, like-minded community. From the very first consultation, Britt made me feel safe, heard, and completely at ease (plus, her office has great vibes). She asks thoughtful, intuitive questions that gently get to the root of what you're moving through while honoring both practical and spiritual perspectives. The clarity I received from that first Life Coaching + Reiki session alone was more impactful than any support I've received through insurance-based services. The Reiki portion, though brief, created energetic shifts I could feel clearing throughout the entire week. If I could describe my journey since March 2025 in one word, it would be Clarity -- I feel more connected to myself, my intuition, and my path than I have in years. I felt called to continue exploring the power of energy healing and enrolled in the Reiki 1 & 2 Certification class to support my nervous system and explore this healing work more seriously. Britt is intentional about vetting her students, which creates a safe, supportive learning environment. I even repeated the training six months later (offered at a generous discount) to deepen my practice, and to my pleasant surprise, ended up receiving even more healing myself. Learning alongside like-minded people has been incredibly uplifting, and the sense of community has been a gift in itself. The Spiritual Life Coaching Certification class further supported my personal growth -- building confidence, asking better questions, holding space without projection, and strengthening how I show up for others. I gained practical tools for navigating anxiety, overthinking, and to help build self-trust that I continue to use in daily life and now in my Reiki sessions. I'm also grateful for Britt's distance offering, "Sunrise Reiki," which has become an affordable yet essential form of energetic self-care. The intuitive messages she shares afterward are always insightful and affirming. Living in the Bay Area, I truly appreciate her pricing -- the value far exceeds the cost. Britt has a heart of gold. Her generosity, integrity, and devotion to this work are felt in every offering. Supporting a local, family-owned healing business that pours so much back into the community feels meaningful, especially knowing her mission extends into her nonprofit, High Vibrational Child, which supports healing and empowerment for the next generation. Since beginning this journey, receiving Reiki, becoming attuned, and consistently practicing energetic / spiritual hygiene -- I feel more aligned in my life and relationships. I had bookmarked Holomua Healing Arts years ago in 2019 and finally booked in 2025 (after watching several of Britt's interviews on YouTube to see if she felt like a good fit), it truly feels like divine timing. Even the friendships formed through these trainings have restored my hope in finding safe, heart-centered community again. If you're interested in Reiki or a more spiritually centered form of Life Coaching, I highly recommend reaching out to Britt for a consultation.

I was recently gifted a 90 minute massage with Maria and it was a beautiful experience I am having…read moresurgery in a few weeks and I have been so stressed about it and was really in need of some healing and relaxation. My friend who gifted me the massage told me that she was sure Maria could help and she was so right! Booking my appointment was easy. I visited Maria at her Solano Ave location which was lovely, with ample street parking available. She started with a thorough chat about what I was looking for from the massage, what I wanted worked on and if there was anywhere I didn't want to be touched which I really appreciated. It was honestly some of the best bodywork I've ever had. Maria has an absolutely wonderful touch and energy. Her massage work has a beautiful flowing quality that I found quite wonderfully hypnotic. By the end of the 90 minutes I was pretty much putty. I haven't been that relaxed in years, maybe ever. It quite literally felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders! I highly recommend going to Maria if you are in need of some very therapeutic bodywork! I'll definitely be back!

She offers a self-study Reiki attunement course. Reiki should be attuned in person although it can…read morebe attuned through a LIVE video connection. Symbols are to be kept secret and should never be written down. The top authors who write on Reiki do NOT include symbols in their books. Reiki Masters also name their lineage from Dr. Usui through Hawayo Takata through their teachers.

Not only did Bella bring so much energy and information instantly to the reading (with very little information from me), all the lives she tapped into made so much sense for me in many ways. I was edge-of-my-seat fascinated the whole time. I love how she taps into the past lives herself, taking the pressure off you, allowing you to retain a sense of control and ability to ask questions and take notes throughout. Even after all that, the most worthwhile takeaway for me was the energy clearing she provided at the end for my energy centers affected by all the past lives. It was super quick at the end and affected me in big positive ways that I (and my husband) noticed almost immediately. And I'm still receiving imagery from my dreams reflecting these lasting changes in my subconscious. Truly amazed. Highly recommend!

You have to experience it for yourself in order to truly understand it. All I can say is that she has all these special touches that she adds to her practice thag makes it that more special.

Anna will open your eyes and heart center to a beautiful expression of growth that you can't even imagine. In fact I'm struggling to put words to my experience. I have worked with her in various ways over the last 2+ years and not only has she guided me in my healing, but she has taught me how to support myself through different healing modalities to continue my journey on my own. Through Reiki certification, monthly community circles, extended 16 month community circles and various online classes I have created better emotional and physical health for myself. I now understand the importance of truly feeling all of my emotions which brings more connection to my actions, thoughts and forgiveness of self and others. I am more gentle with myself and I am slowly peeling away the layers of societal brainwashing to discover who I am and how I want to show up. This has also trickled down to my children. Our conversations are deeper and our understanding of our relationships has grown. She has truly helped me to become a better version of myself. I also want to mention what a beautiful space holder she is both online and in person. Anna models exquisite respect and responsibility through love and kindness for all beings within her containers. I have always felt seen, heard and emotionally held within every single gathering I have been a part of with her. So while I am healing myself I am also being shown how to support others in a safe space of healing as well. Pure magic. I am forever grateful for your teachings and support Anna. Thank you a thousand times, thank you!
