She has taught me so much about processing grief, fear and other emotions providing tools that I can use on my own. She has provided tremendous support to me in my divorce and the endings of other key relationships. It is really hard to explain her value as a healer to someone who is in pain. She is to be experienced. And I am sure you would not be disappointed.

Five minutes into the appointment, I noticed a significant lessening of the sensations of tension and discomfort that I'd been carrying, and I've enjoyed what were probably my best two nights of sleep in several weeks. Today, my resting heart rate is closer to where it has typically been prior to my recent issues, and I feel motivated to be active and productive instead of distracted and scattered. The difference is unmistakable.

I am not at all the stereotypical "energy healing" type, until I had Reiki done about 10 years ago when I lived in Memphis. It was an incredibly relaxing, comfortable and healing experience. Having tried other Reiki treatments, I remained disappointed until I stumbled upon Kate Thomas, new to Harmony Life. Kate has a gift. She's very calming, gentle, kind and understands the various ebbs and flows of energy throughout the body that effect the mind. During stressful times, Reiki (and massage) are my go-to treatments. I was not a believer, and now I am. To have Kate accessable in the Triangle is, in itself, a gift. Her understanding of aromatherapy coupled with Reiki makes the tension melt away, and her calm voice and very comfortable room at Harmony Life just makes all the difference in the world. I've also taken her yoga class and love that it is kept for a small group (or private yoga if I want) and it more focused on mind/body practice and not the "workout" yoga we see in many other places. Extreme kudos to Kate Thomas and Harmony Life.

I was then pressured to pay $200 for a "curse removal." As a single mom barely making it, this felt insensitive and exploitative.

I believe spiritual services should empower people, not scare them into paying for expensive add-ons. This experience did not feel ethical or supportive, and I would not recommend to anyone.

It's taken me far too long to leave a review and sing their praises. At first I came to the studio just to get out of the house - yet kept coming back because of how I felt afterwards! It's not just about flexibility - it's also about the stress relief and calmness the studio space, outside grounds, fellow classmates and the instructors (Kim and Brenda are gems!) help create. It's an awesome way to recharge before, during or after work! I've come in with pounding headaches and walked out feeling refreshed! The studio offers a variety of classes which accommodates all levels. My personal favorites are Slow Flow, Warriors & Weights, and Vinyasa Flow - all leave me feeling that in addition to doing yoga - I also got in a workout. It's now one of the most consistent ways I practice self care! Highly recommend!!

For real, if you can't give an organization that only exists to help helpless animals, then you are a garbage human being. First off, cats! I mean, who doesn't love natures best killing machine. It's like evolution took all the great qualities of a killer, a predator, gave it amazing agility and balance, stealth, knives for fingers and then said, lets make you tiny and cute so humans can pick you up and snuggle a death machine. This place is super small and their parking lot holds like 5 cars. If it's full just park across the street at the recreation center and walk the nice path over to the cat cafe. Be sure to pray before you cross 401 because you'll need the extra help with all of these imported Yankee drivers. Inside most of the space is dedicated to cats, big surprise right??? There is a small bar with a counter to make your order. Maybe 2 tables and then a bench with a glowing neon sign meant for taking photos for the gram. There are a few small tables outside and around to the front of the building. You need to make reservations to see the kitties. It's about $10 per person weekdays and $12 on the weekend for a 45 minute session. You may take your drinks in and the kitties may try to get a sip if you have something delicious. Socks are required, if you don't have any they do sell some for $4-5 a pair. There are 8-10 spots available depending on the time of day. So if you book five spots for your family, you may be mixed in with 5 other individuals. There is plenty of room and this isn't an issue but you can book the entire room for the hour for $110. Remember, all of this money goes to support taking care of the cats including food and really expensive vet care. Finally, you came here for cats right, not really for drinks...but the drinks are really good. We usually get boba. They have very limited options not a full menu like you'd find at Bep or other boba dedicated cafés. Like I love jasmine and they don't have it here. But I usually just get taro and it's fine. Their Thai iced tea with boba is pretty good. You can adjust the sweetness and the amount of ice so I usually get light ice and 25% sweet to save a few calories. They have coffee, chai, hot chocolate, tea and a few other items. Enjoy a drink and help some kitties!

You start by making a reservation for the cat room ahead of time. Make sure you bring socks because you will have to leave your shoes in a cubby once you enter. When you arrive, you can get a drink to take in with you. They have coffee, teas and boba drinks - I had a watermelon fruit tea and it was way too sweet for me - I wish I had got a coffee instead but live and learn. The staff are super friendly and everyone else enjoyed their drinks. When you are ready, you get a little briefing then they let you into the cat room. The cats are all up for adoption and this place gives them a chance to get a little socialization before they find their new homes. When we were there they had about a dozen hanging around in different spots. There are plenty of places to sit and toys you can use to play with the cats if you want. The time flew by and I was sad to leave, but happy I got a cat fix in. There are lots of cute gifts to buy for your favorite cat lover.
