#SelfCareSaturday I…read moretruly believe everyone should do counseling/therapy/life coaching at various parts of their life. We all need someone who can hear us and see us for what we are and what we want to be. Because of many past experiences, I have have had counseling on and off throughout my life and none have made as impact like Sheri, owner of Big Braverly, has in my life. Sheri has helped me identify past traumas and what I can do to release the burdens I have continued to carry with me throughout my life. We have worked on where I stand in my life with my career, education and relationships. It is through my work with Sheri I have begun to have deep meaningful relationships as I never thought I would be able to have in my life. I highly suggest if you have something nagging in your brain, heart, soul, etc. that says something is not right here, schedule a clarity session with Sheri. Sign up for one of her workshops. Sign up for her group sessions. This is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

I came into Transcend Wellness on a friend's recommendation. I had been super stressed with family,…read morework, and relationship -- I felt I was at a breaking point and needed some sort of therapy. I was able to schedule my one-hour session a full month in advance to fit my busy life. I appreciated the email reminders for my appointment with GPS address for convenience. (**Note to property management: please move that super confusing "State Farm" sign from the walkway to the front entrance!**) When I arrived, Ashton (Reiki Master) greeted me warmly and we began the initial assessment -- it was an intimate one-on-one conversation about the reason I was seeking treatment (stress), my feelings/perceptions of how that stress affected my body, and my attitude for achieving my desired result (to be stress free). It was difficult to honestly dig into myself; but Ashton was patient and kind and encouraging that the truth and openness is the best way to achieve real healing. With the questionnaire complete, she opened the floor for me to ask questions of her. I just wanted to know the overall process and what I should expect while receiving treatment. Unfortunately, because everyone and every body is different, she had no clear cut answer but told me "don't expect anything... keep an open mind." The goal is to allow the Master to assess your Ora (the energy field your putting off) and assist in clearing the body of any blockages (in my case due to stress/negativity) by laying hands on or over trouble areas. In the back room, I lay face up on a cushioned table and am asked to let go of all thought and simply be in the moment. Lights are dimmed (incense may be burned) and psychedelic/trance-like instrumental music is played while the Reiki Master prepared herself. Our session was filled with conversation as Ashton explained her method, described what she was feeling (warmth/wetness/light/etc.), answered any questions I had, and encouraged my mind to explore whatever thoughts arose in the moment. I thought of my loved ones, my fears, my hesitations. I felt my muscles tense and then relax. I felt moments of tingling and warmth and (honestly) digestion. When I described a heaviness in my chest, and realized a specific thought corresponded with the feeling, Ashton let me talk it out until the heaviness passed. It was a straight-up counseling session, but my counselor was actively sending positivity and love to my physical well being. Upon conclusion, I was given personal time to "ground myself" before exiting the room. I stretched my back and legs on the table, then slowly stood up and walked around the room a few passes before heading back out into the world. I was given water and offered a snack in the lobby. It was a subtle feeling, but I felt good. I was glad I took that time for myself to refresh and re-balance. I felt valuable and cared for after being in the company and environment of Transcend Wellness.

The more I read up on her the more I knew God was giving me permission to visit the idea. We seemed to have a lot in common and the fear of the unknowns did not win! Gina made me feel comfortable the first time I sat down with her. She's easy to talk to and a great listener. She gave me scripture to consider and also to memorize. I have been learning so much more about myself and how to handle my emotions and also how much my spiritual health is connected to my physical health. I can't say enough good about her God brought her to me and I don't plan to give up on our relationship anytime soon. I am definitely in a better place and I feel well guided and cared for.
