I have been seen Angela for Reike for the past few years. I was skeptical about Reike, but I was…read morewilling to give it a try. I am glad I did. Angela is gifted and by receiving monthly Reike sessions I was able to accomplish a lot on these past years. The angelic reike Angela provides is powerful and life changing. Besides of providing Reike services, Angela has special intuitive gifts, and what I like about her is that she won't predict your future. She will give you a positive outlook in your life and that will help you to strengthen your ability to make the right choices for yourself. This is a hidden gem in Pacifica, and if you never tried reike you are missing out. Thanks, Angela

There was a stage with all the sound healing instruments such as sound bowls, drums, etc. and they even came around and played the sound bowls on each person.

They provide quality yoga mats, blocks, blankets and bolsters so you can focus on your flow if you're new and don't have equipment. I've been attending classes here for a few months now and have found an instructor for every mood. Stephenie's evening classes are perfect when I want a slow, meditative flow. She gently guides us through poses and holds each one long enough for my body to fully sink in. I always leave her class feeling loose and limber. Joann's morning Hatha class is great for de-stressing. The sequences are simple but rejuvenating. We move through meditations and breathing exercises at a leisurely pace. When I want more of a challenge, I go to Josh or Tiffany's Vinyasa classes. They seamlessly flow us through faster-paced flows focused on breath and building up to more advanced arm balances or backbends. Both are so encouraging and help modify poses for all skill levels. I come out of their classes energized and empowered. Overall it's a gem for anyone looking to establish or deepen their yoga practice. I feel lucky to have discovered this oasis in my neighborhood!

Through this stage in my life, there is a lot of stress I experience from caregiving my parents and there is more conflict I have with my wife and kids. Through my life, I sought help from supportive friends and relatives. I went to therapy. I also tried yoga and Taichi. It has not been enough. I researched meditation and came upon SF Meditation and met with Emily. When I first met her, her demeanor and aura was of calm and I already felt better with her presence. I did my first session with Emily and learned the overview of the method. Going through my life cycles was revealing. Learning to meditate with my eyes open showed me I can reflect and make better choices in how I handle life's situations as I go about my day. In the last weeks, my approach with my family is calmer, more open and less rigid. My son said once, "Is this really my mom?" and we had a good laugh. My daughter was experiencing some anxiety and I shared some helpful tips I learned from Emily, and my daughter found them helpful. I look forward to learning more and more. On how the meditation center runs: it is super accessible because they have virtual sessions. In these sessions, you meet other meditation leaders and people from all over the US. I feel like I am not only part of the Bay area community, but also a larger community worldwide. If there is one thing I would change (besides wishing I found the meditation center sooner!), I would want access to weekend in person sessions. But I understand even our meditation leaders need a break :) And on weekends, there is still access to virtual meditation, so still can get support that way.

All entrees are set price of $12 and desserts $5. Ran out of mango sticky rice but Im glad they had sakoo which was one of the items I came for! Payment is through either Venmo or Zelle transfer. You order at the front and they give you a number. When everything is ready, they put it in a cardboard box for you to carry. There's also the option to enjoy it at the tables Sakoo was a perfect combination of nutty from the crushed peanut filling, savory from the pork and fried shallots and slight sweetness of tapioca skin. Thai style papaya salad was refreshing, citrusy and crunchy. You can choose between mild or medium spice. The ground pork salad was a good portion but a little too wet for me - maybe from the condensation. The sticky rice included was good though! Ingredients and herbs were all fresh Staff isn't too fluent in English but still friendly and helpful. Would love to come back to support them and try their other items!

You can walk in or text your order in advance, pay ahead or in person. The service and experience have been pleasant so it is a 4/5 for me but the food averages to be 3/5, but I just want to support them. Pricing is pretty straightforward: $12 entrees, $5 dessert, $3 Thai iced tea. They may have some items off the menu so don't be afraid to ask if you've seen something one week but not on the menu the next week. My favorite items to get: pork laab, pad see ewe (doesn't taste like the restaurant ones but that's ok), pork laab, saku (chewy sweet/savory dumpling with peanuts and ground meat), and mango sticky rice.

There are no words to describe the transformative healing I've had this year. The following is my…read morebest effort to convey the power of what I've experienced since working with Jane. She is an incredible coach, teacher, and healer (among many things) who I have learned so much from. Last year, I stepped into the unknown. Not an unfamiliar place for me but the circumstances were (of course) different. I had just ended a 10 year relationship, was in between jobs, needing to move, and I realized that somewhere along the way I lost myself. Or rather, I forgot who I was. I was starting to identify that my soul's purpose was (is) to be a healer, but had no idea what to do with that or where to go. From the moment I met Jane, I knew her shamanic training program, Luminous Path, was where I needed to be. I wanted her healing as well as her teachings. And while she has provided much healing for me, she also taught me how to heal myself! On top of that, the healing takes place within a tribe of beautiful and strong women wrapped in a safe and secure container that we are all taught to create. Jane taught me how to share openly and vulnerably, how to stand tall and take up space, how to change my false lifehood story, how to let go of limiting beliefs and step into who I really am. I have shifted from codependency to co-commitment both within my relationship with myself as well as with others. I have shifted from feeling insecure to secure, again both within my relationship with myself as well as with others. I found confidence, clarity, peace, and joy. I found myself. I remembered. As the end of the year approached I found myself ready for more. I wanted more healing, more teachings, and more space to integrate it all. Luckily, Luminous Path is a 1-3 year program. Another thing I am grateful for as I am now in year 2! A huge THANK YOU to Jane. I am beyond grateful to know you, to have received your offerings, and to learn these ways from you. The ways of the healer. The ways of the warrior. The ways of the wild one. The ways of the medicine woman. The ways of the Goddess. Many blessing. A'ho!
