I don't get that feeling with a lot of counselors, therefore, this is a huge thing for me to say. I'm gad that she moved her practice within the city. Very awesome at listening without judgement and very encouraging. She indulges me in my offbeat sense of humor which is appreciated. I feel good after her sessions with new goals and ideas that I worked out myself through openly talking and with her asking appropriate questions to get me thinking a little bit more outside the box so that I can creatively come to my own conclusions. I can't wait to see her again in March.

Now not only is my mental health already so much better, my world feels full of opportunity again. Truly life changing, and I am so grateful for our work together.

Gratitude and thanks cannot possibly express how profound…read morethe impact on me has been of working with Sandy.

Then here in Albany, I hosted trainings with her. I've witnessed her impact on my life, my family and others. Despite having an MSW and prior training, Sandy is rooted in the ACIM (A course in Miracles) and has the ability to go deeply into hidden blocks, beliefs, and at times emotional hurts, that once identified were transformed. And once all that stuff was "cleared" its like rocket-fuel to a higher next level. If you ever get the opportunity to train or work with Sandy, take it! She truly is one of the best there is on the planet. Grateful for her sharing her healing gifts.

Well, this review is long overdue! I have enjoyed a few facials with Melissa and they have been…read moreamong the best! Starting with her all natural products (yes, they really ARE all natural, unlike some others who advertise that and are filled with chemicals) the facial is pure bliss every step of the way. Did you know the skin is our largest organ? Quality skin care studios and spas do and should only want the best for your skin. Initially, I saw Melissa in her former location on Holly street but this one suits her better. It's in a shared space with other relaxation practitioners. Grab a cup of hot tea and Melissa is right there waiting for you with a warm smile. She is a very kind and gentle spirit and you can tell she sincerely cares. I did not feel rushed at all. She allows plenty of time in between appointments and will answer all of your questions. She does offer take-home products but does not try to push anything on you. You really do have to experience her facials for yourself to understand the raves. So, ladies and men time to book your facials! From Melissa's Website: "Skin is a living organism and is nourished and regenerated by whole plant ingredients that utilize nature's intelligence to heal and balance. I believe in using only simple, pure and highly energetic products in my skin treatments, which will bring life and vitality back to your skin. This is not just a facial but a holistic treatment that will truly make your skin and spirit glow!"

So happy I came across Melissa on Yelp! I was visiting Bellingham for a long weekend and managed to…read moresnag an appointment with her on a Friday afternoon. She was so kind and welcoming, and I had a lovely facial (first one in many years). She explained what she was doing every step of the way, and also spent time discussing the process/answering my questions at the end, since I definitely fell asleep for part of the session. Love that the products she uses are natural, and several local items too, like the floral water, and the argan oil, which is from her own line of products. I got some good tips on how to continue a skin care routine at home, and brought a few products home with me that I'm excited to use. It was also my first time doing energy work, and it was fun to talk to Melissa about what that was like, and learn more about this. Lastly - she gave me some great ideas for what to do with the rest of my weekend in the area (we had an awesome hike at Stimpson Family Reserve, which we wouldn't have discovered without her recommendation). I wish I lived in Bellingham so I could see Melissa regularly, so if you're reading this, please go visit her for me!
