This is an updated review from 2022. I have been working with Karallyn for nearly four years. Note…read morethat while Karallyn performs wonderful acts of service for many women--she has an intuitive manner of working with men as well. This is my testament to her capabilities. In addition to the comments I made in the spring of 2022 - and I offer them below at the end of this March 2026 review - you'll be able to realize tremendous benefits from working with Karallyn. Most of my work with Karallyn has been remotely performed. Karallyn is gifted in her ability to draw upon a wide variety of her own experiences, training and knowledge. She is constantly improving and growing her repertoire of tools that she can leverage in service of others. Karallyn has spent a great deal of personal investment in somatic embodywork. If this seems foreign to you, one way to think of her skill is this (and these are my words): Karallyn has a deep understanding of the interconnections and relationships between mind, body and spirit. She is focused on providing you with tools to improve your ability to engage your body and nervous system, to make them resilient, and to improve your experience of life through your physical relationship to the world around you. It is powerful and life-enhancing. Our practice and work has grown and changed over time. I find working with Karallyn highly valuable. It has improved my ability to grow into my authentic self. Give Karallyn's website a review--and more importantly, connect with her and learn how she can provide you with improvements you didn't know existed. (2022 Review) Karallyn is an absolutely wonderful healer, spiritual guide, and human being. Like several of the others who have reviewed her, I am not a resident of Asheville -- I sought out a talented energy healer to assist me with my own spiritual and energetic journeys. I meditate and practice qi gong daily, and I have done so for years -- a recent series of events in my life led me to experience a guided release in December 2021, which was a profound and positive experience. My intention in working with Karallyn was to find someone in Asheville who could take my spiritual journey to the next level, so to speak -- and to help me identify the path of highest and best use for my spiritual growth. Karallyn is professional, skilled, knowledgeable of her craft, and outstanding at creating a safe space for someone open to working with her. She begins her sessions with a discussion and interview of sorts in order to better understand the intentions of someone who has come to her--I found this conversation to be valuable. It also helped me understand her as a practitioner and healer. I have found her able to challenge me in a positive manner that has broadened my horizons regarding spirituality in ways I might not have accepted even six months ago. As a note, I am planning to continue working with her remotely.

Karallyn is a true healer. She helped me to relax and let go more deeply than I've been able to in…read morequite a while. I've had somatic experiencing, craniosacral and bodywork before, but never combined, and never with such skill and intuitive gift. I highly recommend a visit.

What led me to Jamie for Acupuncture? I moved to Asheville and was looking for a new acupuncturist…read more It's something I've done for the past 15 years on a monthly basis. I've had my fair share of different acupuncturists. Jaime immediately caught my attention with her amazing reviews online. When conversing with her to see if it would be a good fit, I could tell she was committed to her practice. What has come as a result of the sessions? I have worked on a multitude of things in acupuncture include general wellness, anxiety, low blood pressure and reducing the rash after a spider bite. How did I feel and what treatments did I try? I can confidently say I have seen an improvement in all of the above mentioned areas. I tried traditional acupuncture, using a heating lamp and ear seeds. What has changed my life for the better? Knowing I could count on Jamie into treat a multitude of ailments and also give input on herbal supplements helped keep my mind at ease and enhanced my self-care practice. Would I recommend Jaime to you? Yes! It is evident that Jamie is knowledgeable about a variety of conditions. Also, she uses a unique method when applying the needles, by applying pressure on the skin so you do not feel them going in. Especially on spots that are typically sensitive, such as the feet. No more "breath in and exhale because this one is going to hurt" Additional Notes: Jamie creates an inviting atmosphere in her office. It is evident she is an experienced acupuncturist who understands the human body and how to treat a multitude of ailments

Then I moved away to North Carolina -- and then she moved here, too!! So I traveled from the Chapel Hill area last weekend for an amaaazing session with her! It was worth every second and then some. And it was still so relaxing even with the extra Covid safety measures she has in place! It helps too that she has her own separate side entrance to her studio space. Go see her ASAP and then be ready to book regular sessions. Pure magic!

Highly recommend. I prefer Charlotte's style instead of being pounded and pushed like other…read moremassages.

We came here due to a surprise that my spouse had booked for us. I was skeptical at first but once…read morewe were settled into the relaxation cave things improved. Enjoyed the ambiance and furniture to support some device-free meditation & relaxation time. The staff here were helpful and offered a breathing exercise to start our relaxation time. The team cares about your experience. Overall for the experience we purchased, it was a nice time. I would imagine going to a massage during this experience would be the way to do it with maximum enjoyment though! Next time!

My friends and I did an hour relaxation and guided meditation in the Salt Cave as a group and…read morereally enjoyed it. It's a unique experience and our guide was super sweet and easygoing. She easily answered questions after and before about what to expect and offered us tips on how best to relax and enjoy our experience. You lock up your goodies in a large dresser while inside and are encouraged not to bring electronics in (the salt can be corrosive to batteries) and must wear socks. The spa and gift shop area is really nice and we saw a ton of beautiful salt lamps inside the gift shop after our hour. I loved the themed items for sale and their body oils and salt scrubs are phenomenal. The salt cave itself is pretty impressive and a unique experience I hadn't ever tried before. I believe she said there were 30 tons of rock salt inside and it was even hanging from the ceiling! It's based upon an original such cave in Poland. Loved it. Highly recommend you come and try this if you are open to new experiences and have never done it. The team here are wonderful and it's in beautiful neighborhood and part of town we enjoyed walking around afterwards. They have an attached parking lot and plenty of nearby parking.

If you choose the right timings for the massage it does do justice. We were very tired from the road trip and wanted to have a nice massage. What we thought was it would be lying down and then putting our feet in the water. The massage was on the chair, which was equally good. We had Nico as our massause. She was the best, so do book her if you can. IT is a bit pricey, but, if you really need one like we did, it is ok. The service was excellent. The location is apt. We chose 2 different kinds of soaks. I took the celebration and my husband took the Deep. Both were good and he was extremely relaxed, but like i said if it was a bit different the effects would have been better and worth the cost, regardless, it was a very relaxing experience and Nico took alot of care of us throughout the 45 mins soak and 20 mins each of the massage. The warm neck pillows was a plus!

Not only does she have great clarity in her ability to see and connect the planetary energies at play, but her ability to translate what she understands for lay ears is precise, poetic and profound. Her reading is thorough and she goes deeply into answering the questions I have. I came away from my reading feeling as if I had stronger roots connecting within myself as well as an eagle eye understanding of my life. I will refer to my reading as a touchstone, and for clarity and illumination as I go down the windy road of the year ahead.

If you're looking for a caring and very intuitive reiki master Corey is it…read more She's great at setting an intention for a session as well as making sure you understand what the imbalances are in your energy space with your chakras. Also the way she started the session was different from what I've experienced and it was great to try something new. I had a feeling she'd be good from the energy she cast from when I looked into booking her. I'm glad my hunch was right because not only did I leave feeling balanced and sleeping like a champ, she showed she cared with a follow up message, about the session along with tips to be present. Although I have two reiki practitioners I have been to regularly having her diverse approach made me curious to want to go back and see how things shift energetically and physically. In closing when I started the session I was a bit tense and flustered. Throughout the healing time I felt the vibrations working through my chakras that were out of alignment. I left feeling lighter and more focused. So go see Corey you won't be disappointed.

In a nutshell, I arrived to Cosmic Seed for my 1st reiki session with Corey feeling scattered and…read moreanxious. I left feeling relaxed, confident and radiant! When I arrived to see Corey, my thoughts were ping ponging all over the place. I feared I would have difficulty relaxing at all, let alone lying still for my one hour session. But I immediately felt comfortable as Corey welcomed me into her warm, quiet environment. She gave me time to adjust and then simply suggested I silently set an intention -- something I wanted to work on, either physical or emotional. We did not discuss my intention or anything going on in my life before she began. At the end of the hour, I woke up (yes, I actually fell asleep)! Corey then spent about 15 minutes sharing her observations and interpretations of our session. Much to my surprise, she had confidently hit the nail on the head on where she felt my energy was most strained, which was congruent with my intention. She provided helpful suggestions on how I could overcome the tension. All in all, I had a wonderful experience and can't wait to visit Corey again. I highly recommend treating yourself to Corey's kind and intuitive healing experience!
