I can say this because I had a concussion that left me having unusual facial and head pain, along with feeling a heaviness that just would not stop. When meeting with Millie her confidence in herself made me feel very comfortable in trying these techniques. I can honestly say after four treatments a lot of my issues have improved already immensely. I am soo thankful that I believed in Millie and would tell everyone to open your mind to natural way of healing. I not only experienced relief I also have more clarity and am sleeping much better. She still is educating herself to improve her skills. Please reach out, you will not be sorry.

This wellness center receives a 10 out of 5 stars in my book! it is that great! I have been benefiting from the services Sharon and this center offers over the last 4 months or so. Whether you want to just learn more about yourself, achieve more peace and balance in your life or are well along on your spiritual journey... this is the local healing center! Each and every modality/service I have received and event I have attended, has helped me grow as a person. It is very supportive and inclusive at this facility. The Reiki/sound healing Full Moon group events are healing at many levels. You receive a "bath" of amazing sound that heals at the cellular level while also reviving reiki and having a calm meditative state. I leave feeling refreshed and finding new perspectives. This is very healing for any overstimulated nervous system ! Highly recommend! Sharon is just a lovely woman whom you will feel extremely comfortable with. I have received reiki and QHHT with her and I highly recommend her amazing empathic and healing skills. Everytime I enter the center I feel a sense of warmth and home. It's a caring and loving vibe where everyone authentically cares about one another. I am thrilled to be part of this amazing community. I work in health care and let me tell you, THIS is the future of TRUE wellness! Be open minded and remember that in order to create change in our life, we must challenge fear ... we must step out of our comfort zones...

You can really feel the friendly atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The golf course itself is beautiful, well-kept, and full of unique character. There is so much cool paraphernalia and fun trinkets all throughout the property that make it interesting even between holes. Every hole was set up so neatly, with creative layouts, multiple drops, and thoughtful details that kept it fun the entire way through. I especially loved that they had an easier course for younger kids, which made it perfect for our children, and we also noticed the moving/more challenging course, which looked like something my husband and I would love to come back and try on our own. The seating areas placed along the way made it feel relaxing and enjoyable, and there was so much to look at that the whole experience felt special. One helpful thing to know before you go: it is cash only, so make sure you come prepared. It was $25 for 2 adults and 2 kids under 6. Overall, such a fun family outing with a lot of charm -- we will absolutely be back!
