While traveling for work, I found myself in desperate need of a massage. Luckily, I was able to…read morebook an appointment online for the next day, even late at night, which was super convenient. Candace Parker was my assigned massage therapist. I was a bit skeptical at first due to the availability on such short notice, but my doubts quickly disappeared once the massage began. I'm a fan of deep tissue massages, and Candace did not disappoint. She had an impressive understanding of how everything connected and managed to work out a lot of my tension. She skillfully used her elbow and body weight at times to really get into the knots. The massage was excellent, and I felt incredibly relaxed afterward. I would definitely return to Candace for another session!

If you've ever had a real deep tissue massage, sorry this is not it.

The massage is pricey, all the masseuses have certifications are all nice and professional, "great technique", yet none of them touched my muscles when getting a deep tissue massage. Lots of rubbing and sliding but felt like a sweedish massage. Asking for more pressure did not help. Each time they told me after I should stretch and take salt baths. If stretching and salt baths could fix my pain and tightness I wouldn't be looking for a masseuse.

When I arrived, she explained what would happen, asked if I had any questions, and went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable. Her goal was to have me relax, and that she did! She took me through a series of deep breaths to get started. I was so relaxed I started snoring! At the end of the session, she gave me the results of her reading, and so much resonated with me and my life. I will definitely return and I will suggest her services to my friends and family, too!

I am honestly not sure how I made it so far in life without Kim. She is truly one of a kind. I…read morehave seen a few reiki practitioners in the past but no one that I was inclined to re-visit and I have seen Kim multiple times over the past few years. She is so thorough and the after sessions are a treasure. I have learned so much about myself through my sessions with her and it's overall made me a better person. I am so pleased with the reiki sessions, I have decided to schedule my first hypnotherapy session with her as well. I am confident it will be another life-altering experience.

I first became interested in finding an energy healer when I had aches and pains all over my body,…read morealong with a lack of energy and a foggy brain. For someone my age who is in good shape and has no serious medical conditions, I should be feeling better! So, I did some research, and learned that we can store emotions from past unresolved trauma in the body, and those stored emotions can block our energy and make us unhealthy. I had been under quite a bit of stress over the past year, and I wondered if my aches and pains could be my emotions stuck in my body. I decided to find an energy healer to help with this, and my Google search led me to Atousa Raissyan. I reached out to Atousa to find she was very responsive, and she was available to work with me. She introduced me to her Life Transformations/Past Trauma Release package, and it was at that point that I knew this work we were about to do was going to be more significant and meaningful than I initially realized. So, I took a leap of faith and scheduled my first appointment! We completed a total of 10 sessions over a period of 6 months. There were times where I was eager to quickly push through to the next session, times where I needed to take a break for a few weeks, and a few rescheduled appointments. Atousa remained flexible and patient with me during this time, but also checked in with me regularly to make sure I was doing ok and she offered support if I was struggling with anything. There were also homework assignments, which complemented the in-person work we were doing. The work we did together was not always easy for me. It required a level of trust and vulnerability as we continued to uncover and peel back the layers of trauma. But with Atousa's wisdom and guidance, I found I could relax and allow her to lead the process. She taught me how to listen to my inner child and empowered my inner child to find her voice. She easily navigated intense scenarios that produced sometimes overwhelming feelings, ensuring that those feelings were fully resolved and integrated before moving on. This work wasn't always difficult though - there were also moments that were fun and entertaining. I found that as we engaged more with my inner child, there were opportunities to connect with that playful, youthful side of myself, and have some fun! Atousa's expertise as a healer is obvious. In a very short amount of time, she was able to get to the source of my deep-seated emotions and guide me through the process of clearing them out and letting them go. I completed the program a couple of weeks ago and I can say with confidence that I have made good progress in healing at an energetic level, and this is resulting in a positive shift in all areas of my life. It feels good to finally let go of that old stuff that was weighing me down my whole life! Going forward, I will continue to have occasional sessions with Atousa as needed, as healing is a long-term process that happens over time, and it is likely that more things will come up as I continue to peel back the layers. As for my aches and pains, my foggy brain, and my lack of energy, I believe this is improving! This is probably the result of clearing out the energetic blockages from the stuck emotions and allowing the energy to flow, along with me also taking better care of myself in general, with proper nutrition, rest, and exercise. I strongly recommend Atousa to anyone who is looking to do past trauma release work, or for any other service she provides. Not only is she clearly an expert in her field and great at what she does, Atousa's authentic personality and her genuine caring nature will put you at ease and will provide a sense of safety as you work through those uncomfortable aspects of yourself that require healing the most.

I've attended 3 workshops with David- and they've all been life altering, and...man, I don't know what other adjectives to add to that. Many. I feel lucky to have him as a teacher.

As a working mom with a spouse who travels frequently, it was a real struggle. After a friend suggested I might explore Reiki healing, I did a search and found Alice. During our five sessions, Alice not only brought up my energy levels, she also felt issues in my throat and heart areas. I was doing integrative health treatments in tandem with Reiki, and my doctor had me do a series of test to identify my current health baseline. Once the results came back, not only was Lyme's confirmed still present, I had a nodule on my thyroid and a heart condition I had not anticipated. I find Reiki healing to be a perfect compliment to traditional treatments, so much so that following my five sessions with Alice, I signed up for instructional sessions. Alice's teaching and attunements are as strong as her healing sessions. I strongly believe in perfect timing -- that life puts us where we need to be when we need to be there. If you're researching or seeking out information on Reiki and have been led to Dr. Langholt and Reiki Awakening, you are in the right place. You won't be disappointed. I wish you all the best in your journey and your healing.

First, the reservation process and finding the spot were both frustrating. The person on the phone spoke in a whisper and couldn't/wouldn't speak up when asked. The "near the courthouse" was completely unhelpful, since there are FOUR courthouses in Town Center (Red Brick, Grey, District, and Circuit). The room was fine, and thankfully, the bed was toasty warm on a rainy, chilly day. Zoe wore both a mask (fine) and gloves (less fine for me). She spoke softly and with an accent that made communication impossible. She didn't tell me what she was doing to my face or what type of products she was using. The 45 minute facial was less than that, despite paying $20 more for that location. And, unlike the outlet further south, there was no relaxing tea and biscuits following the facial. Sadly, I won't be back, even though it's more convenient.
