I've tried meditating at home using YouTube to no avail. Meanwhile the noisy instagram aunties…read morenoticed my searches and sent me to Kelly Harvey. I joined Kelly and several other like minded people for an afternoon celebrating the equinox. We set our intentions, sipped tea, journaled, and enjoyed a very relaxing sound bath. It was just what I needed and excited for my back to school race to slow so I can join again for a tuneup. I now find myself listening to a variety of sound baths or singing bowls on YouTube when I feel stressed or want/need the sound to help with meditation. In a stressful world, the more tools that one can add to our mental health toolbox the better. Group Suggestions: Going with a group can be fun but remember that you're joining this event to center yourself. Solo Suggestions: Enjoy tuning into yourself. You'll meet great people but this sound journey is specific for you. Please share your story, reel or photo with me when you venture out to visit Kelly. Wishing you much fun and relaxation. Sincerely CSRA #equinox#csra#singingbowls#yelpaugusta#funthings

I got stuck in traffic on Pine Log and happened to see a sign for the shop. I'm so happy I decided to make an appointment. Angela took great care of my feet with the Just Breathe pedicure! She started off with an oatmeal milk bath bomb that she makes herself, then a calming soak, nail management, sugar foot scrub, essential oil massage, hot towel, then painting. She hit all of the right pressure points during the foot massage! She had hot tea and lemon water available as well. The ambiance was great...from the calming spa music, the decor, the essential oil humidifier to the super comfy recliner. It is great to have an all natural nail salon closet to home, I will definitely return!

She made me feel welcome and helped me get started, she would gently help me "get it right" throughout the practice, and that made all the difference. The Vinyasa Yoga that she teaches at our gym is really popular, the energy in the room is radiant and it attracts people. I have found that Vinyasa Yoga is hard work. Most of us are not used to working out on such a deep core level. But I am liking the results I see on my body & mind! Been going for 8 months now, so I feel that I really got to know her as an instructor. I like her style, she teaches you to get in touch with your feelings and re-connect with your inner being. If you are considering yoga practice, I would honestly recommend Cassandra. She does private sessions as well!

It wakes me from my sleep. After a 1.5 hr long session with Kim yesterday, I'm happy to report that today I did not wake up with that intense heartache/heart/chest pain for the first time in several weeks. She was able to pinpoint it and clear it in our session. I also had a lot of physical and energetic resistances, especially in my crown chakra that was causing a headache during the session. She was able to communicate messages that my spirit guides were wanting me to know and therefore cleared the headache and resistance. I'm still getting headaches at work, so there's still work to be done on my part. Kim recommended short 45 min sessions to help get me centered, so I will be getting those scheduled!
