She's done a few personal readings in total in the year that I've known her. She is totally on point and able to show me, or explain exactly what is going on in my life. She was to pinpoint emotional blocks and insights on how to break those down as well. My expectations of what she was able to do were completely elevated, and I felt super comfortable because of the care she shows. Her great advice helped to lift my heart, spirit, and soul. NO JOKE! After my sessions, I felt so much better, ALL AROUND GREAT FEELING! Very insightful! I will continue to have her work with me, till the end of time. I confidently say to get your appointment. You'll totally enjoy it.

As someone with severe asthma, I just couldn't stay in this store for very long. Just not my cup of tea, but might be yours. They had a very large selection of a wide range of used books, and it was very well organized and pretty tidy compared to other used bookstores. This was one of my stops on the Rochester Book Crawl, so I might not have otherwise explored this shop. The bookseller was very nice and helpful.

Greenwood Books is a great local bookstore, one of the best independent ones in town (if not the…read morebest). They sell really quality literature on a variety of topics, especially music (fitting, given the nearby Eastman School of Music), and also including religion, fiction, technology and more. There's definitely a theme of rare, old, obscure and intriguing books on all subjects - the main running theme seems to be whatever is genuinely interesting, by any definition. Also, although there's no seating, I do appreciate that the place is not overly stuffed to the brim with books and doesn't feel overwhelming, but rather, pleasantly full of options to peruse and explore. The owner is always very nice; I (at least) once had a great conversation with her. I haven't bought a lot here, but I once purchased a beautiful book of Saul Steinberg's artwork for a relatively good price. It's well worth browsing the shelves here, maybe preceded or followed by a visit to Java's Café on Gibbs. Buy something if you can, and support a local treasure!

Working with Helga has been one of the most healing experiences of my life. I came to her to work…read morethrough deep childhood trauma and long-time emotional patterns, and in just three sessions, something profound shifted. She's incredibly warm, kind, and intuitive. From the moment I walked in, I felt safe--safe to be myself, to open up, and to face things I had carried for so long. Helga held space with so much care and wisdom. Her presence is grounding, and her guidance is powerful. Even though I have knowledge in hypnosis myself, I was blown away by her skill in guiding regression-to-cause work. She knows exactly how to support deep transformation without pushing--just gently walking beside you. After our sessions, I felt a huge weight lifted. That peace stayed with me. The pain, the triggers, the anger I used to carry--they're just... gone. And in their place, there's lightness, joy, and real peace. Helga is a true healer. If you're ready for real change, I can't recommend her enough.

I am loving the work happening with Helga. Here's how I would describe what hypnosis can do based…read moreon my personal experience with Helga. I have all these really upset emotions from childhood experiences that shaped my perception of myself as being lacking worth, value and confidence. In adulthood, I did a lot of work to understand what took place and why. I have been able to fully rationalize and understand the psychology and the interpersonal dynamics. Having developed that understanding is great, but it has never HEALED me. The emotional experience and the resulting perceptions of myself are like a sliver or splinter stuck in my skin. I can tell you the story of how the sliver got there. I can rationalize why it splintered off the wood and is lodged in my finger. I can explain why my finger hurts and an infection is forming around the splinter. All that talk is NOTHING. The splinter needs to be extracted. I have concluded that regression hypnosis can extract the splinters and shards of life that lodge themselves in our subconscious.

Even though it's a children's book store, they also have a great selection of adult fiction and nonfiction books. The selection seems pretty well-rounded and unique in that there aren't many other bookstores in Rochester that sell children's books. Books were reasonably priced as well. Service was great and the cashier took some time to chat about my book choice even though they seemed to be having a bus day.
