I wanted to leave a first hand account about our experience we encountered and the help we sought…read moreout to address our issues. We are a family that recently moved into a house locally and we felt good at first about where we were. We heard lot of what we believed was just house settling noises and creaking so that was not so much a concern. Kids felt nervous about the noises and my youngest felt there was something watching her but we assumed that was just new house jitters. It was just afterwards where I felt the same being watched and shadowy movement (??) but could not be certain about it. This was enough to unnerve me and since we all felt these same things, I decided to see if there was any way to get help with what we were feeling. I always have been a skeptic about these kinds of things but when it is something that hits you first hand, it changes your thoughts right away and especially in my case. I reached out by phone call to Kimberly after doing some searching online and found her kind and gentle demeanor really comforting. She also had a lot of experience with spiritual healing so I felt she could help us resolve this. She came to our house and spoke with us about any other details we had to share and then did a house clearing for us and used a light device to help funnel away any negative energy. I remember some words addressing archangels to help clear and remove any dark energy but don't remember a lot of it since she was very directed and moved right along and it was done within an hours time. We all definitely felt relief afterwards and less of the off feelings we had before. A week went by and we checked in with her to say we have all felt that there was no more of the negative "watched" sense around and could finally feel like we were actually living in comfort in our home. So glad we found her services and to know that she could help us. Thank You So Much Kimberly !

My family doctor, who practices both holistic medicine as well as traditional medicine recommended…read moreI get acupuncture for a dislocated knee injury that happened more than a year ago. There were two very big issues I had with acupuncture; not the acupuncture itself which did ease stiffness the in my knee but, it then slowly came back about a month later, no, just the fact that for one, I really do not like to be touched by strangers and second, needles of any size make me queasy. My doctor then suggested I look into trying Reiki. I found several places in Oregon that caught my interest, one type of Reiki in particular called "distance Reiki" sounded best to me since again, I do not like to be touched. Reiki, in general, is normally a "hands on" therapy I gather? I found Falling Waters Reiki almost a year ago in a Google search. I did a lot of research before contacting anyone to find out if "Distance" Reiki is even a valid thing. Falling Waters Reiki stood out to me because I didn't have to book a session in person or on the phone but was able to do it through her website. Wendy was very thoughtful and very informative when I emailed her several questions before I decided to book a 3 month service through her website. She was very detailed in all that was going to happen and spent way more time interacting with me than I expected her too. She even followed up with me a few days after the first session and I wasn't expecting that. Since she specialized only in "distance" Reiki that worked out perfectly for me. For the first few weeks nothing seemed noticeable with my knee then about 4 days ago I realized I hadn't taken any pain medicine for an entire week. I have literally lived on ibuprofen for the last two years for various "pains". I understand that results for holistic practices can vary or might not work at all as was explained to me. However, thinking about it, the same can be said for ALL types of medicinal therapies and treatments not just holistic ones. Sometimes even "traditional" therapy and medicine simply do not work, I am proof of that! So I am willing to stick it out for now with Reiki as it works for my personal situation and I couldn't be more pleased with the care and service I have received thus far. I will update the review if anything changes. Till then, I would recommend Falling Waters Reiki services. Thank you Wendy!

I went to Courtney's tarot classes at Catland. Before I went, I was pretty sure I had no tarot…read moreskills whatsoever. What I realized is that I just didn't know what I was doing. With just a few classes I came away much more confident in my skills. AND I actually gave 3 pretty decent readings (you take turns in class). Can't wait for the next set of classes in the fall! Also Courtney gave me a really good reading outside of class as well.

I came to Courtney with concerns from a reading with another psychic. After a previous reading, I…read morehad additional questions about my love life, and hoped Courtney could perhaps go more in depth and provide me with answers. I was very impressed with her and the reading. She was able to pick up on the situation and guided me through the reading, explaining each cards meaning. I loved this. With other psychics, I would just watch them draw cards and just start with their predictions. But Courtney would show me the card and explain, helping me understand what was really going on with my love life. She was actually spot on with what the other psychic had told me, but with much MUCH more detail. She was able to answer all my questions. I've been to a couple psychics but she was by far my favorite. She was really nice and made me feel comfortable, something I haven't felt with other psychics. Thanks for the awesome reading Courtney! I will definitely be checking in with you in the near future!

I had never experienced this sort of event so I was nervous but they helped me through it and were very patient. I was painting my ridiculous looking dog, Peanut, and didn't QUITE finish in time. Britni took the painting for me to put the finishing touches and I was supposed to pick it up the following weekend at another event they were having. I was super busy moving that weekend and FORGOT. Doh! I was being a real pain in their backside but Ms. B went out of her way to get the painting back to me a few days later at my place of business.

She encourages you to personalize each painting with your own style. Each painting looks very much like hers, but with your personal touches. We always walk away feeling like we created a masterpiece. She is always very patient and encouraging to my son. This was his first experience with painting. She helped him to build his confidence in both his painting and in himself outside of painting. We really enjoy painting with Dena. We will continue to participate in her classes. We have created an amazing art space full of great memories at home.

We had an event near Salem so we thought we'd stop by. It's so quaint, gorgeous and proved to be lovely get away for the afternoon. It's not overly large as you can most likely walk and enjoy the trails, gardens and sights in about 30 minutes. There is a house tour but only on limited days/times and the day we visited was not one of those days. Beautiful flowers, tucked away benches and meandering trails all made for a wonderful walk. I highly recommend and it's free to walk around!
