I wanted to focus on stress and other ailments stemming from the immense stress in my life. 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. If you've been considering reiki, book a session with Bethany--you won't regret it! Copied from flowreikieandwellness.com: 1. Alleviate stress and anxiety 2. Enhance emotional well-being 3. Support physical healing and pain management 4. Improve sleep and energy levels 5. Deepen self-awareness and spiritual connection Each session is an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you and welcome a renewed sense of balance and clarity.

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.

She is suffering a serious spontaneous brain bleed. A neighbor recommended I call this practice and ask to have it filled through their dispensary or for guidance on where to purchase it. The woman who answered the phone said I would have to make an appointment first. Okay. I understand. It would be easy to coordinate with my vet if they do not want to sell directly to me. But clearly they don't work with other practices. However, even if I had the money to spend (in addition to thousands spent this week on an MRI and emergency care), I don't have time to wait on an appointment. I also live an hour away and don't want to put her through the stress of another car trip. But then I asked for suggestions on other outlets since I was having difficulty finding it online. One would think this practice would be expert on sourcing alternative medicine in the DVM or online and happy to give guidance when they are unable to help. One would think a receptionist would take a message and pass it to one of the nursing assistants or vets. Nope. She literally told me to google it. Legitimate businesses are often happy to offer some guidance in a serious situation when they are unable or unwilling to directly provide a service or product. That is, unless money is their only concern.

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
