Libby's dedication to the healing arts is simply astounding and inspiring. As a dental hygienist,…read moreshe has the utmost attention to cleanliness, attention to detail and is particularly trained and sensitive to issues involving the TMJ, cranial nerves, and muscles of the head and neck. She has studied marma, cranial-sacral massage, Reiki, and singing bowl vibrational healing, among others. She is one of very few practitioners certified to perform intra-oral massage (massaging the jaw muscles from inside the mouth), which is very important in releasing tension in those muscles. She also has the knowledge and connections, if dental correction is needed or could be helpful for TMJ. Marma is an Ayurvedic science developed in ancient times, to heal warriors on the battlefield. These warriors were expertly trained to strike essential energy points on the body to injure/kill the enemy. They found light touch at these exact points had a healing effect on their comrades, injured on the battlefield. Therefore, marma, perfected over millennia, is a highly accurate method to hasten healing in sports injuries. Libby combines Indian ancient healing with coherent, vibrational attunement using Tibetan singing bowls. So high are her standards, she is currently hunting for an ancient, large, singing bowl made in mountains of Tibet and composed of the highest healing metals. This method is a powerful way to release stress from the nervous system and re-establish emotional wellness and vibrant health. Driving from Tacoma to Kirkland for therapy from Libby, and as a medical doctor and psychiatrist, I can attest to the therapeutic results.

I have been a client of Erika's for 5 years. WOW! That is a long time in the world of health and…read moreenergy practitioners. I first found Erika through word of mouth at my yoga studio. Two women were talking about a hypnotherapist that they loved, I overheard, asked them who it was and the rest is history. I started seeing Erika because I had been in a car accident in Seattle and was so anxious about driving in the rain, it was debilitating. My regular talk therapy at the time was not enough. Our sessions were in person and hypnotherapy and reiki in person at the beginning. I was able to work through my fears of driving in the rain in these sessions. My sessions with Erika have morphed into phone sessions of energy healing and life coach more than anything else. I love my sessions and feel like the concrete changes I have made in my life are noticeable to me and my family. I love getting homework and look forward to working on the changes I need to make. I have come a long way in 5 years and am excited to continue working with Erika. A lot of people think it is woowoo to work with an energy healer but I love it. I started seeing her because of an accident. She has helped me work through a death, surgery recovery, friend divorce, relationship issues, etc. Our phone sessions always leave me feeling so good and ready to get things done.

I have been working with Erika for 4-5 weeks now and I absolutely love her. I can't say enough good…read morethings! First, I want to address the idea of working with Erika remotely. All of our sessions have been remote and I find this to be a huge benefit. Being in the comfort of my own home allows me to relax and lean into the work in a way that I don't think would be possible if I were in an office or any less familiar environment. I also like the fact that I'm already home at the end of each session - normally I like to grab a drink of water and relax for a bit after each session so it's great to be able to do that. I highly recommend this option! Erika has helped me feel more grounded in my body, more confident, and far less stressed and anxious than I've ever felt. I have tried many different types of therapy over the years and I think working with Erika has allowed me to do some deep healing on a soul level that I just wasn't able to reach before. I am so grateful for her patience, reassurance, and calm guidance throughout our work together. I look forward to working with her further!

After seeing the good reviews, I brought my 16-year old daughter in and after just the first session, she was calmed and grounded - so much so that I wasn't sure how it could have helped so much so quickly. The good thing is that he educates you as you get treatment. My daughter said things like, "I feel so calm", "He didn't force any ideas on me but made me ponder about them," and "it was like a massage but hands-off, hands-on and understanding various chakras" (I don't know what all of this means so I will try it myself). She seemed very happy with it and I am very happy with how it made her feel more balanced.

I started working with Heather because I knew I needed help. I had little self-awareness of how…read morebadly I was treating myself, and the negative things I was telling myself about my life. I immediately felt Heather's calming and empathetic spirit the moment we started to talk. She listens and cares so deeply, and she gave me a sense of peace from our very first session. Finally, someone that gets me and cares so much - that she will beat these messages into me until even I will listen. She is a bright light in my life I know I can count on to always support me, to just "get me" and remind me of really important reminders in life. My greatest lessons from my sessions with Heather are life changers. The first is that loving myself and treating myself with kindness is the very first priority in life. The other is that everything is happening FOR me - not TO me. That no matter what happens, I can turn it into something good. She has helped me reframe the way I see things from my past and present so that they empower and not disempower me. Most recently, during this COVID19 crisis, Heather's teachings have brought back to front of mind the importance of being kind and gentle with myself when I slip into moments of fear, to comfort my inner child and to be purposeful and intentional about how I use this time. To live a life that is in alignment with my true desires, my values and how I most want to feel, I must pay attention. And to deeply appreciate the gift that it is to be alive, to see it as sacred and treat it as such. What I love about working with Heather is that she genuinely cares. There have been times where I text her with something I am going through and she is there. As a great friend would be. She has an intuition that sees me on the inside and knows how to push or remind at the exact right time where I need to tune in. I don't think I could ever find a more motivating and caring person to have by my side. I recommend if you are questioning the process or not sure, reach out to Heather and ask the questions. She is a pure gift that was added to my life - and I am so grateful!

(Darn it Yelp I was 'too far away to check in' for my 815pm sennin-so shiatsu session on 2/17/18!)…read more Just as well, because it's time for an update six months later after completing 23 sennin-so shiatsu sessions. A lot has transpired since my first introductory session where I was absolutely clueless about a transformative journey I was embarking on. I sincerely thank Edmond Gordon, DPT for referring me to Adam Hewitt, LMP owner and health practitioner at The River Stone Shiatsu Center. Yes, it took a reprioritization for time, finances, self care, and firm commitment to see it through. I had to also open my mind to learn new concepts and be receptive to change. Cumulative effects from stress, bad indulgent diet, lack of quality sleep, sedentary lifestyle, and a host of chronic conditions and other issues presented as a challenge. I needed to own up and do something to improve my quality of life. There was a time I could swim laps for an hour, run 12 miles a day, ride my bike 50 miles, carry multiple 50 pound bags of material. My mantra was that I can sleep all I want when I'm dead. Life's too short, eat dessert first. It was always go, go, go, go, go! That was then, fast forward to now. My lifestyle, attitude, and stressful environment caught up with me. Is the rest of my life just going to be full of pain, restrictions, medication, and essentially waiting to die. That's not how a two time cancer survivor and parent should celebrate life. What has sustained my visits? Realizing that this isn't placebo effect or some sort of unexplainable woo-woo mystical event. Each person presents differently, there isn't an instantaneous voila moment. Sennin-so shiatsu is an ongoing, fluid process. Adam Hewitt is the consummate and personable professional who takes his sennin-so shiatsu training and sincere wish to help others seriously. This is also the same sentiment shared by the other practitioners, Kacey Farrell and Taylor Guske, at The River Stone Shiatsu Center. You become a wellness team. What you put in is what you get out. Trust and communication are key. There's pain, setbacks, and life events that can easily derail you. But with Adam's guidance and consistent powerful healing finger pressure, gets you in tune with your body and learn what makes it tick efficiently. Eventually the improvement with circulation in tandem with retooling diet, hydration, exercise, lifestyle habits, stress management, and sleep quality...you will experience amazing improvements. Seriously. You stop internalizing, this reduces inflammation, identify and prevent pain triggers, and start feeling healthier and more energetic. All positive gains! Just have to give it time to see what truly works best for you. Health is wealth, and there's an immense return on investment on so many levels. I'm well beyond clueless, progressed past calling it Fingers of Death or Vulcan Death Grip, well past being an adoring fan, I'm a believer. The River Stone Shiatsu Center is truly life altering. If I could give this updated post ten solid Yelp stars, I would.

My internal dialogue can be harsh and unkind. Receiving energy healing helps me come back to my center, helps me remember who I truly am, and helps me find the love I have for myself that is often hard to access on my own. I love working with Anne because I feel heard, seen, understood, and never judged for what I'm experiencing and going through. Having someone hold space for you to heal can propel your life forward and change things in unexpected ways. One day, you wake up and realize, wow! Look at how far I've come. I have a history of extreme childhood trauma and abuse. Working with a healer with expertise in trauma as a psychotherapist is an amazing combination of skills. Anne has a true gift as a healer. I hope many people, especially those with a trauma history, get to experience her healing sessions. Truly transformational! Anne also has a gentle style of mediumship healing where she can connect with loved ones who've passed on. Such a special and powerful work! My grandmother passed away almost two years ago. I recently had a session with Anne where she connected with my grandmother's energy. The grief I've felt over losing her was so heavy and long-lasting. Anne gave me a chance to have an open dialogue to ask questions about where my grandmother was at in her life review process. So much of my grief was lifted after that session. I'm so grateful Anne does this kind of healing work. I look forward to connecting with other loved ones in the future. Thank you, Anne, for all you've done to support me! I appreciate you so much. It's impacted my life in more ways than you can imagine.
