Kate is a key ingredient to my recipe for success. For starters, her massage is effective and timely for dealing with tight muscles, weaknesses and old injuries. I have seen many top massage therapists, including those of top athletes like Tom Brady and Lance Armstrong. Kate's massage is on a higher playing field and I highly recommend it to anyone needing relief from muscle tension no matter what is your athletic ability. In addition, her massage feels good and is high quality every time. Kate's incredibly diverse background and expertise in personal training, exercise science and body-work is strengthened by her background as a life-long athlete. From day one, Kate has helped me sustain a high-performing body by offering exercises and stretches to support the massage she has provided. Kate is a grand-slam home run! What are you waiting for?

I moved to Maine by myself in 2022, and found Halls Pond with a 'yoga near me' google search. As…read moresomeone who had never done yoga before, and didn't know anyone in town, I was so nervous the first time I drove to the studio. Katey is so easy going and down to earth that I immediately relaxed after meeting her. She genuinely loves and cares about the wide variety of people who come to her studio, and after finding out I was new in town, she would recommend me an event each week that I could go to and meet people if I wanted to. Thanks to her I discovered the Alan Day Community Garden, where I enjoy caring for my garden plot and "sneaking" into the greenhouse to eat fresh peas, and I discovered a community at the Lights Out Gallery where I've made some incredible friends and had the honor of helping Pamela Anne Moulton work on some incredible larger than life sculptures, with the help of my little dog. Katey taught me it doesn't matter if you can't do any of the poses. Yoga is about getting in touch with yourself and appreciating the body and mind you have. I recommend Halls Pond Healing Arts to anyone who is interested in yoga, new in town, old in town, wants to try something new, or would appreciate adding an hour of relaxation to their week. She really is the benchmark for yoga greatness!

We stayed in the Robin's Nest cabin, which was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The wood stove was fabulous and kept us warm in the chilly but mild fall evenings, and I'm sure it would put out plenty of heat for a winter stay as well. We were the only guests on the property, so it was QUIET and so, so serene. I'm sure if other guests were there it would still be both of those things. The cabins and yurts are spread out and hidden in the woods, so privacy is always possible. There was a yoga class on Saturday morning that we missed (we decided to sleep in, too cozy), but I'd love to try that when we return. And we couldn't return too soon. The caretaker Erica had just arrived to take over for the winter, and she was so gracious and friendly. She left us sweet notes and made every effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible. On Saturday we got to use the sauna. The SAUNA. Oh lord, if this lifetime gives me one gift let it be a sauna like that one. Erica went early to get the fire going and we were welcomed to the most beautiful sanctuary with plenty of fresh water for drinking and bathing, some snacks, and flickering candles. We spent a couple of hours moving back and forth from the steamy cedar benches to the woods outside on a rainy evening. It was heaven. Molly the resident cat came and hung out with us several times. She was so sweet and funny, and very polite. If you want her to leave just show her the door and she'll waddle happily down the path. We were sad to leave on Sunday but also so grateful for the time we had together in the Maine woods, and grateful to have found this wonderful spot. A couple of small things...see 5 stars above, these are minor issues, but could be useful to future guests: The grounds are perched onto the side of a mountain, and some of the buildings are separated by steep paths. This means that this place would not be a good option for people who have serious physical limitations (with exceptions). While the website does mention things like "a short climb by foot" it could be more clear about how rugged the site is. For people who live and work there these climbs are a piece of cake, but for others it might be a real challenge. For instance, the Harmony cabin is right next to the yoga studio and group space, so that would be ideal for those looking for accessibility. But if you wanted to take a shower, it's a *steep* hike up to the Pioneer cabin where the showers are. Just something to keep in mind if you or someone in your party might need accommodations. Also, one comfortable reading chair in the cabin would be a big bonus, especially for longer stays. The rocking chair in the cabin is TINY, neither my husband or I could sit in it comfortably. Overall, Nurture though Nature is a wonderful place and you will feel blessed to spend some time there. We can't wait to return!
