We got into town late Sunday afternoon. I was excited when I saw this "shop" across from our hotel…read more I thought I would enjoy going in the next day, Monday. Monday comes and closed. No big deal I know a lot of shops closed on a Monday. The view from my hotel room looks right down to the shop, a little excited as I knew I would know when it opened, as there are no hours posted anywhere. It is now Saturday and not once has this shop been open. I am guessing this is more of a private practice type of place vs store, which I 100% support private practice and client appointments, but the way It's set-up is misleading. Especially seeing as yelp advertises it as open. The practitioner may be wonderful. I have no idea, I did not get an experience, but as for a store, not impressed.

My daughter loves crystals and anything related to reiki, healing, spiritualism, and yoga. So…read moreanytime we cross paths with a store of such ilk, she is immediately drawn in. And in fact, while doing the touristy thing in Monterey, Dec 2022, I believe we hit 3 such stores in the downtown area of historic Monterey on one particular day. But there was only one that touched our hearts. First of all, a crystal shop does not normally appeal to children, and there is the added concern over the many fine things that could be accidentally broken. I appreciate how difficult it must be to order special inventory for a gift store such as this; it takes special knowledge and understanding. But the true test of success of any business is the person who greets and interacts with their curious customers. In this case, that would be the lovely Leslie, the owner of Luminata Books. Leslie later confessed to being quite shy, but I witnessed a complete metamorphosis as she drew out her own inner child in the presence of my two grandchildren. Delightful! There was a wealth of beautiful things, from crystals to knickknacks, inspirational books, jewelry, bells, singing bowls, and beautifully made puppets. Oh, there was so much more, but it was actually the stuffed animals/puppets that broke the ice. Next thing I knew, I overheard Leslie having the most delightful time in playful conversation via the puppets, with my grandkids. And then, she introduced them to the crystal singing bowls. One by one, she brought each of the colored bowls down from their display shelf, explained exactly how to hold the mallets, and showed them how to drag them along the outer edge to make them sing. The resonation was exquisite, the children were transformed. They were delighted to make such beautiful sounds so easily, and understood how precious the bowls were. She spent a substantial amount of time with them, while thankfully her very capable staff attended to her other customers. And meanwhile, I was able to secretly purchase a sweet, small, hand-held music box, a Christmas gift for my 9 year old granddaughter. The store is full of wonderful items, but it was Leslie who made this experience stand apart from the others. It was tough having to leave. Thank you, Leslie, for making our day so special.

Bryan is very professional- on time, prepared, and responds to emails timely. In the readings he explains things really well and often has great metaphors to help illustrate concepts; I appreciate this being an evolutionary astrology newbie. He also has a good sense of humor and has had good comedic timing when it was needed during my readings. Also, I think the price of the sessions have been very reasonable considering how personalized what you receive is and the quality of who you are working with. Basically Bryan is a gem and if you're on the fence I highly recommend you give him a try.

I've loved astrology most of my life and have studied sun signs till I was blue in the face but it is so much more when you allow him to peer into the cosmic blue print of your life, where you've come from and where you're heading. Some of if made me emo and gave me permission to claim things I've always known but never really understood the mechanics of why I feel these things. I love that he explains things in a way to get you into the "feeling of certain energies" by using symbolic stories of what a situation could look like. More then twice the symbolic story he shared was the actual exact experience I had had. His intuition comes through and often times was nailing things right on the head, unknowingly. At this day and age, it's very easy to look up your own chart but you can't really understand the nuances and how things truly fit together the way Bryan can. He really spoke to core issues of my life in a helpful way. Highly recommend working with Bryan. Thank your for the inspiration, the light, and the gratification I needed.
