This is a hidden gem in Katy! A truly amazing staff on site at this lovely retreat! Not only do…read morethey offer Reiki and Massage, but they have an onsite fully Vegan catering company with convenience of pre-ordering food to go. The food is probably the best vegan comfort food in the Houston area! Delicious vegan pot pies, enchiladas, salads, sandwiches, hummus, chilli, chocolate pies, cookies and more. Incredibly fresh! The retreat center and outdoor area is so peaceful, which is fully reflective of owner Nancy Albea and her gracious staff. Everyone is welcomed with love and great hospitality! Be sure to see the hand-crafted items for sale. A wonderful place to support and an amazing community center/retreat in Katy! If I could give 10 stars, I would!

I was looking to schedule an appointment for Reiki with Victoria two weeks ago, short-notice, after…read moregoing through a very painful & sudden life circumstance. I was not at all surprised to find that Victoria was booked out (because she is THAT GOOD). However, the universe brought me an opportunity to connect with Simply Reiki's, massage therapist, Angelica Torres, for a Sunday morning appointment. I had never experienced a Reiki treatment with massage therapy (I added the hot stones + aromatherapy) and OMG it was surreal! It was the quiet, physical healing that I needed in that moment of sitting with utter chaos in my nervous system. What also blew my mind was Angelica's intuitive gifts. I was not expecting that, but she read me like a book before she even laid hands on me, and without me telling her one word about what I was going through. Her presence was gentle, grounded, and comforting like a soothing balm. Her energy, and her words were incredibly powerful and validating and exactly what I needed to hear that day. (Bonus she spoke to me in Spanish!) She's a true energy worker and worth every penny. I highly recommend Angelica for the massage + reiki treatments. You will be glad you did. I walked out of her office feeling 10x better than I walked in! Para los que nunca han experimentado un tratamiento de Reiki combinado con un masaje, les recomiendo agendar una cita con Angelica. Les aseguro que no se arrepentirán! Ella tiene buenas manos para el trabajo energético y ademas es intuitiva.

I haven't had a massage in way too long so came on Yelp to find a good place close to home! I have…read morenever had a reiki massage before but was super impressed with Kristen's knowledge of crystals, the pressure points on my back & she is a really nice person with great energy! She suggested I come in for some of their yoga classes to help build my strength. I fell in love with a bunch of crystals & spent more than I should have once she explained the meanings behind them!! Love her & her studio! I will definitely be back!

Wanted to come on here and share my experience with Reiki Course. I took Ms. Aliya course and…read moreimmediately saw a change in my life. I went from being confused and not knowing which way to go in life to finally feeling at home. I did not know what to expect when I attended her class, but her class was amazing and comforting. I found a lot of peace and so many things finally made sense to me. For once I did not feel CRAZY, and felt peace. The connection and how much attention and detail she puts on everything was amazing. She cares dearly about her students and is amazing at explaining everything. Her energy is awesome and she is so kind. She checks up on us and ensures that we are receiving everything we need in order to grow. Ms. Aliya is a wonderful teacher. Reiki has also made a huge huge change in my life. I have overcame Anxiety after months of not being able to leave my house, better yet my room or even work a normal job. I'm able to go out & not allow my anxiety to overcome me, and actually have an enjoyable time. The fear that once resided in me which had me stuck and crying in my bed has left! I used to go out and would begin panicking, crying, & shaking having to ask ask my boyfriend if we could go back home immediately. At days it comes but it isn't as intense as it was before, literally went from a huge boulders of fear to a grain of salt that i can flick away immediately with affirmations or meditation & go on and have a good time and I'm very thankful. I love myself so much more now, I'm able to see my beauty and understand my pains. I used to hate what I saw in the mirror, and it's amazing because even though I'm at my highest weight I love myself so much more than I did before. I say this because growing up, I always wanted to look a certain way, skinny, kind of how society expects woman to look so body image issues was always a huge huge thing for me. Now I'm able to look at myself and love me unconditionally! The pain that resided in me, that cause me to be sad and cry every single day, the pain that made me not want to find joy in life, the pain that caused sleepless nights combined with the fear and anxiety, the pain that made me hate the world and our divine, the pain that caused me to hate myself and the pain that made me depend on smoking. That pain, with Reiki I overcame it and it was transformed into love and light and UNDERSTANDING... that right there has been beautiful to understand my pains. After smoking for 6 years ... I gave it up, never in the past 6 years I would have ever done that! But I have finally felt safe too. Thanks to Reiki I haven't smoked and I finally choose to be free from it because it no longer has a hold of me. A huge step for me! and I'm thankful. Because even though I didn't know it & smoking brought me down low, & instead of being a help like I thought it was... Smoking was ruining me slowly & owning me. Thanks to Reiki I've found peace and understanding in so many things. I'm overcoming fear of living, im overcoming anxiety and sadness. Understanding my pain and learning to love myself. Taking the course after so many times of allowing my fear to stop me has been a huge step, & I'm extremely grateful for the experience & thankful for the peace & love and light that has came with Reiki. hope you made it this far and if you did ' things can get better! Reiki helped me tremendously. Natural Awakening Holistic Center, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. , love & light .

This review is based on the limited experience that I had with this "healing center". The website…read moreis outdated and doesn't give clear details on what healing services are provided nor prices. The only form of contact is via text. When I called the number given here on Yelp, I immediately received the voice message system which tell you to text. By this time I'm exhausted there is no one to answer my inquiries about the services provided - as all reiki healing practitioners are different. So reluctantly I sent a text, stating I had some questions regarding the reiki healing session and desired to speak with someone before hand. A day later I received a text that the Practitioner had received my details, meditated to see if they could help me. After meditation she was told she could not help me. That was that. The delivery of the text was polite but I was left wondering how service is rendered based on a text and meditation. Perhaps it wasn't a good fit or something else. Idk but when asked if they had any recommendations, it was no dear. Really?! Okay then. Yea no, given my experience with Reiki healing and practitioners I found this to be unprofessional process and slightly off-putting.

Melanie is the real deal…read more It all started with a group past life regression.... I completed a 2.5 year apprenticeship with her about 10 years ago. The rigor of her classes -- which included hands-on, applied experience -- rivaled some of the graduate courses I took to earn my MS degree at the University of Houston. Melanie is serious about Reiki, and she offers perspective along with metaphysical truths. Plus, she's approachable, professional and knowledgeable. After withstanding multiple traumatic life events, learning and practicing Reiki with Melanie and my classmates got me moving toward optimal health. Thank You, Melanie!

I went to the Past Life Regression taught by Melanie over at Yoga Pod. I went in openminded. I have…read morecertain behaviors in this life, that completely line up with what I saw that day. I'm a fighter. I've fought mentally, I've fought physically, and I've fought emotionally. I've been through some serious trauma in this life, where most people would have given up and just walked away. Or just decided that this life is too hard for them and they are ready to find peace. Melanie took me on this journey. It started off with hypnosis. I was in so deep I no longer felt my physical body. It felt like I fell through the floor into nothingness. Then the images came. I was a very large male warrior in a past life. My live wasn't exactly great, but it had it's good moments. My death was pretty disturbing, but I felt no fear. It was my time. One thing she told us is if you see an angel, stay with the angel. I realize now I did see an angel, but I didn't know it then. I couldn't quite describe her, so I said she was a nun. Back in 863 bc I'm not sure there were nuns. There were also no perfectly clean women in baby blue with a white light around them. Everyone is dirty. Even if I did try and stay with her, I'm not sure I could. The images were vivid and came quickly. Not everyone in the room was able to go back. Some saw small glimpses, some saw nothing, some stories were tragic. For me, it was the answer to many of my life's questions. It explained why I fight for those who can't fight for themselves. Why I never give up. Why I am the way that I am. I'm hoping to do this again with Melanie. If you get a chance to try it, I highly recommend you do. Like I said, I went in with an open mind. I didn't expect to see what I did. I've always felt like I've been here on this earth many times before, and I already know I'll be here again. I'm looking forward to seeing some of my other lives. After being ripped in half by horses in 863 bc in England while. Really, what could be worse? Bring! It! On!
