I've been taking cuddle sessions with Kristi for about 3 months bi-weekly as of this review. And I…read morewill say, she is a fantastic cuddler! Her cuddling space is warm and welcoming. Every session, Kristi makes it clear that we agree to respect each others boundaries and encourages communication to make sure that my needs are met during our session. From there, she asks what kind of cuddling positions or exercises I'd like to do. It took communication and several sessions to find out what works well for me. She even has a book full of cuddle positions if I'm not sure or want to try something new. I prefer to start with a deep breathing exercise. Then I usually go for the "head on chest" cuddle position or spooning. Lately, I've also asked Kristi to lay over top of me face down. That position really helps to relieve tension. While we are cuddling, I am free to tell Kristi whatever is on my mind. She is nonjudgmental and makes me feel welcome and safe to let out my inner ramblings. Kristi can talk your ear off too, but ask her be more of a listener and she will respect your wishes. With this past year feeling quite lonely and tough due to the pandemic, it's been a blessing to have someone to cuddle and talk with regularly. I leave each session feeling a warm glow in my soul, an inner calmness and a clear head. My housemates have even mentioned how much I'm glowing when I come home from a session. If you're feeling touch starved or just feel like cuddling and maybe don't know who to go to for your cuddling needs, I highly recommend Kristi's services!

He talked about meditation and spirit guides even though we've already been praying almost every day for weeks. Others I've been to in decades past have been more specific.

You need any votive candles, tall candles for ofrendas (altars), Mexican blankets to keep you warm…read moreor lay down at Blues on the Green, or looking for Virgen de Guadalupe statues/rose spray/candles/all the things? You need to come here. I do not know another shop like this in Austin where Cantu's has been my go-to for the 21 years of me living here. This is a rare gem of a store in South Austin that you have to know about if you don't already. This is a very unique, quiet, and calm place to come in to whether you want to browse or you are curious about a consultation at Lee's Healing Center (located inside the shop in the back). When I need red mal de ojo bracelets (what are ojo bracelets, you ask? They are for protection! Look it up!) for myself, friends, or even for my baby nephew Cantu's has got them. Yup! She carries baby bracelets too to give to a newborn baby or any one who has small wrists to be honest. You will want to really take your time here when you arrive as there are so many things to see. Books, candles, prayer booklets, trinkets, statues, and tarot cards (also in Spanish!) can be found here. There should be no rush when you are here so take your time and gather all the things that call to you. Parking is located in the back of the small yellow building. Entrance is in the front off of S. 1st street. Be sure not to park in the convenience store next door where the sandwich shop is at. You will be towed! Be sure to say hello to Virgen de Guadalupe on the side of the building. The mural is beautiful (and old) but worth the stop to check out and maybe get a selfie with her. She really shines off of S. 1st Street!

I went into the store today to buy some candles and Mr. Cantu also told me that they did cleanses which interested, he told me he did an oil cleaning so I waited for him to be available after my purchase. We went into the back room and he explained that the oil cleaning consisted on oils and herbals sprays that have to be applied on the body and that he also used an egg and a lime. He also said that I needed to take my clothes off and only leave my underwear, which raised some concerns and made me feel really uncomfortable. I think that if he is going to be Performing this kind of ritual on a woman, there needs to be a woman practitioner in the room while this is being done And he should also offer some sort of gown or a sheet for the Client to cover themselves with. The whole thing felt very unprofessional. Has this happened to anyone else??

Her healing abilities are spot-on, as she is able to tap into what I needed to shift after having an insightful conversation with her initially. I felt very seen and heard in my session with Gabriella.

For context, I am what I would call a spiritually curious skeptic, and Rachel has always met me where I was at, validated my doubts, and answered my questions with an honesty and humor that I deeply appreciate. Through my work with her, I have connected with one of my spirit guides and feel equipped to foster that connection independently -- because that's what she does. She doesn't hide the "secrets of the universe" or gatekeep the divine. She supports you in finding your own spiritual path. You can take or leave whatever you please, without pressure or expectation. The world of woo can be a scary place, and I'm so glad I found the real deal.

What Spiritual Transformation Coaching Really Feels Like…read more I thought about doing this work for over a year before I finally said yes. Not just yes to Rachel--but yes to myself. I'm overly cautious, busy and finally decided to go all in. Totem Readings isn't just a spiritual coaching program. It's a space where you get to meet yourself fully. No performance. No pressure to believe anything you don't already feel in your bones. Just clear, grounded, powerful work. Rachel is a strategist, a seer, and a mirror you can't lie to. One session might feel like a soul-level strategy business meeting, and the next might open a channel so clear it stops you in your tracks. She doesn't miss the point. And she doesn't waste your time. Over the past few months, I have decoded my own personal messages and data. My dreams speak more clearly. Messages from spirit are louder and more believable. I trust myself--finally,after thinking I was making things up or interpreting messages wrong; she gave me the gift of witnessing my innermost grief, loss, love and pain and permission to believe myself! There was a moment I remember so clearly. I started talking about my career She looked at me and said, "That's not just instinct. That's a gift." Rachel helped me label many gifts I have overlooked and labeled otherwise. She holds space with a kind of clarity and confidentiality. Sharp when needed. Safe when it matters. Never performative. Always real. It's structured, intentional, and grounded in both mystery and integrity. I've come back to myself. Not just softer, but stronger. More intact. More prepared for this wild, chaotic world we're living in. While everything around us feels like it's tightening and contracting, I am so glad I invested in my own expansion. This work gave me new infrastructure spiritual, emotional, and energetic. I built something that no system or crisis can take away from me. If you're ready to do the kind of work that rocks your foundation;this is where the signal starts coming in clear. Are you ready to get weird and magical? I highly recommend it... if you're truly ready. And be honest--are you?

I also think there are several…read morescammers out there, just like any gifted talent some have it naturally and are very gifted, others have to work at it and some fake it and still financial benefit. I personally believe the ability to feel and read people is a God given gift, something like musical ability or artistic talent. With that said, madam Ruth said things that were very specific: Example, that there are 3 children in my life. That l would have 3 and no more. I have 3 kids, there were several other things that she couldn't have know. The entire time I was there I said less than 10 words to her and never said anything that exposed anything personal. To make the review short, go in open minded. She lays cards down and she reads what she lays on tge table, it's all about what card you get.

They did, however call me back, and said "they couldn't hear me" I'm sure they didn't because I was in such shock as to how I was initially greeted. If you're gonna attempt to manipulate someone, at least be more cordial. Customer service is a 10/10 don't recommend. Sucks this was my first experience looking into this type of BS.
