I booked a one-hour session with and the crystal enhancement 2x within about 2 weeks, and each session helped me improve upon each of those 5 benefits! What truly amazed me was the immediate feedback from Bethany about what she and I both observed during the session. It was amazing how we both sensed the same things and she had great insight on why and how to work with it. What I love about Bethany's practice is how thorough she was. I felt heard, cared for, and not rushed at all. Bethany also sent a very helpful follow up email summarizing what we observed from the session and I refer to it often. She also included information about the crystals she used and how I can use them in my daily life to continue alleviating the stress, etc. I experience every day.

From the owner: Bethany Cunha, 43,…read moreis a passionate Reiki practitioner and high school teacher whose journey into Reiki began after years of chronic nervous system dysregulation caused by stress. After a difficult recovery from an invasive knee surgery she began seeking alternative healing modalities. What began as curiosity quickly blossomed into a life-changing practice. Through Reiki, Bethany found profound healing from chronic stress, physical injury, and emotional trauma. Certified in Usui Holy Fire Reiki I and II, Bethany is currently pursuing her Reiki Mastership. She is also set to earn her Animal Reiki certification by February 2025, with a goal of offering Reiki healing to animals. Bethany is particularly passionate about helping women heal from the wounds of infertility and miscarriage, a deeply personal focus shaped by her own experiences with seven miscarriages. Additionally, she works with women balancing the demands of full-time careers and motherhood, addressing the chronic nervous system freeze that often accompanies this struggle. She also works with adolescent clients who struggle with the complex nuances of the teenage years, leveraging her teaching experience to connect to them. Bethany believes that Reiki is a profound tool to manage stress in a non-stop world.

She had either large cell lymphoma or carcinoma (was inconclusive) but either way it was really bad at the end. Dr. Beth has the knowledge to help you understand what is happening, the compassion to guide you through it, and the kindness to come out to our place at some inconvenience to herself (last minute, outside regular hours, etc). I loved that she gave us special family time with our girl as we went through the steps of the at home euthanasia. I loved that she said some words of gratitude for her as she passed, almost like a mini memorial service. It was painful, it is painful, but I don't think I could have asked for a better person to lead us through an extremely difficult decision. I see sad photos of animals here. I choose to remember my kitty when she was at her happiest, and that's the photo I'm sharing here.

When we had our initial consultation, it was definitely an elongated process; I really believed that there could have been more listening, as we felt that we were sitting in a lecture. With herbals, it's a trial-and-error type of situation, in which the combinations administered can constantly change, based on the response. Unfortunately, we felt that the medicine did not have any positive impact, and the follow-ups felt rushed and confusing. I think this place seems to be more for fur babies who are already in good health and whose owners want to explore additional services, just for the sake of it. It's nice to see other clients have had more positive experiences, but ours was super disappointing. Plenty of parking available. +plenty of parking available

I was intrigued to try the Lymphatic Sinus Detox so I scheduled one and anxiously awaited the day. First impressions: beautiful space. Light, colorful and good energy all around. Judy, the owner greeted me with a warm hug. She then escorted me to a room, pulled up a chair and we talked about everything you could imagine as it pertain to my body and my health. I sincerely appreciated that. So often companies are tethered to remain timely. I didn't feel that with Judy. She seemed genuine in her concern about me. She made some recommendations about what I should add to my diet, and different types of foods to consume, etc. I changed out of my clothes and the lights were lowered and the service begun with an easy to understand explanation of what would occur over the next hour or so. The lymphatic sinus detox was all of that! I kept my eyes closed during the entire treatment. She used all sorts of tools (none of which was anything but soothing) consisting of strokes and massages, stones and utensils....who know what?! But I can tell you this, it was magical! After the treatment, I felt like a younger version of myself. In fact, over the next few days I was even sleeping better! I'm not sure if the detox directly had anything to do with the but I'm claiming it! I feel better! She gave me warm salt water - yep, the RIGHT type of salt is good for the system and we continued to talk for a little bit more. The services were so good, I got a gift card for a friend, and a salt rock for myself. It's a different type of massage but one that I know anyone would love. I've referred so many people already!! The treatment ended the way in which it begun, with a smile and a hug. I loved it and will definitely return soon!
