Words will never describe the beautiful experience I had there with Valerie Sargent. I drove an…read morehour to this appointment. The center itself is calming and peaceful. Valerie was warm and it was easy to work with her. She was able to open my Akashic records and help me tidy up healing that desperately needed to be done. She also brought other items to light that gave me insight to things I was not aware of. I am hoping to meet for another session this summer. I highly recommend her work.

I've experienced several of the modalities she offers, Reiki, Hypnotherapy and Process work. She is kind and so very wise and has the gift of making me feel comfortable enough to share my deepest hurts and troubles. Helene's demeanor has a profound calming effect on me and feeling calm is often difficult for me. When I have spent time with her in sessions I have felt supported, protected and understood.

I saw her today for the 1st time, and can truly say she helped me in lifting away a very painful situation from myself. This had to do with forgiving myself.I While I was laying on her table, I experienced the most profound healing in my life. Shikoba is truly guided by her teachers and angels to help you. Somehow, she made it possible for me to have a beautiful vision, and I don't see spiritually or clairvoyantly. After my session with her, I felt cleansed and clear of all negativity, and was at peace and in harmony with myself. I can hardly wait to go back!! Shikoba is truly an angel on earth! Bless you!! I'm so grateful to have met you and will see you soon.

Beautiful functional space at a reasonable price ($100 for an entire day)…read more This space is on the second floor so might not be wheelchair accessible (no one in our group was in a wheelchair).

My first experience with OverSould Healing was a reiki session with Mochani. She immediately made…read moreme feel safe and calm, explaining how the session would work (she is non-touch) and even used singing bowls and sage at the end. While on the table, she guided my intentions for the session and had me focus and imagine negative things floating away. I was able to let go of some very heavy things I'd been holding on to and came out of the session feeling so much lighter and more at peace. My second experience was with Cassidy for a 90 minute massage. I told her I'd booked it because I'd seen it was recommended after the reiki session and as a reiki master she explained the link and went into more depth with the connection between the two. She is extremely knowledgeable and explained things about my body that had been affected by my mental state of mind. She intuitively knew after working on me for a few minutes that cupping would be needed to increase the blood flow and asked if she could do that. Just surrender to her and let her work her magic! She also used the singing bowls at the end of my session. Overall, I went into these appointments wanting to just relax, grasping at straws to get negative energy out of me because what I was doing wasn't working. I left feeling so calm and happy and because of their consultations with so much information on how to move forward incorporating the principals of and understanding of how to keep that peace at home, make safe spaces for myself, and prioritize time for myself to prevent me from getting to the place I had been when I entered their door. It truly was a life changing experience and I cannot recommend this place enough.

And if you think you might go for multiple sessions, they sometimes run a deal with buy 4/ get 1 free. Booking is also very easy to do online. I had been going to Cali for acupuncture and I wish I could give her 6 stars! She helped me with a physical issue I was dealing with, and most importantly, by seeing her regularly I was able to get on a regular sleeping schedule again. Cali is truly, truly special. Head's up that the acupuncture space is a community model - so no individual rooms (which has never detracted from my experience - it's just a good thing to know!)
