I had a number of amazing energy healing sessions with Linda that helped me to process concerns in…read morean intuitive and empathetic way. Together we went through some of my feeling-thinking-response patterns. These were ingrained from long ago and no longer had any relevance to my current life but were holding me back. Linda helped release these restrictive obstructions and integrate a more beneficial pattern of well-being and self-acceptance. I'm in the midst of my doctoral studies and worked hard on an evidence-based practice implementation which my raters found too technical. I knew I had to start from scratch and was very concerned about what project I should focus on for the remainder of my program. After working with Linda, it was as if I was sinking baskets and scoring points daily. Not only because my aim was better but because the basket was actually edging closer to help me score. Things that would otherwise have pulled me off course, fell away. I have so many examples of this occurring and will mention two of the more notable instances. Years ago, I'd missed an opportunity to be inducted to an international honor society. The paperwork was time-sensitive and the opportunity had passed, by the time I recovered from an accident. I was invited again this semester but the university changed its email servers and the message got stuck, hidden in a junk file. A colleague who had also been invited, reached out to me suggesting I check through my mail. One week prior to the induction ceremony, I found the message and documents to be completed. Surprisingly, I received all of the necessary letters of recommendation from my references the very next day after I requested them. One dean actually showed up in my office to hand-deliver her recommendation to me. That new topic that I needed for my studies, which I was sweating over? Not only did one fall into my lap at my office, 10K to fund the research was granted from a health philanthropy. The primary investigator moved state before the start and the grant writer reached out for my expertise to coordinate data collection and analysis. The rater that frowned down my previous topic, graded me A's on my assignments and took part in the photo op at the honor society with me, the dean and my other inductee colleague. I'm busy doing a great deal of work on that project now with a small team to bounce ideas off of and help with tasks I don't have the bandwidth to take on. If you're looking for a gentle way to align your personal power to meet your desired goals, call Linda. She meets you where you are. Speaking with Linda is like having a friend who has known you all your life. I cannot recommend her enough. She just gets you and gets you more conscious of how you can converse with your body, soul and the energy surrounding us all. Linda guides you to empower your development and make the progress you're looking for. Thank you, Linda!

They offer a Myofascial Trigger Point Release Therapy treatment (hard to find on the website - call for an appointment) After 20 years of energy and healing work, I can say this was the single most healing and effective treatment I've ever had. After an injury in the 80s, my shoulders are aligned for the first time and my neck pain is diminished. Yoga classes and great and the oxygen pod is awesome.

It's a shame that I have to leave a bad review because Carlos was a fantastic massage therapist…read more He is truly a healer. The reason I am leaving not a favorable review is for a couple of reasons: I made appt. with Carlos. I showed up 5 minutes before my appointment, the lights were on in the spa, but no one was there. I called the number of the spa and the owner said let me call Carlos. She said, he was delayed and wouldn't be able to make the appt. I knew this couldn't be true because Carlos is very responsible. Then, the owner said, she had a family emergency which is understandable, but there was no sign on the window saying she had to leave due to a family emergency. Then, she she changed her excuse a third time. I have been going to spas for 30 years and I never had no one showed up. I understand if there was a true emergency, life happens, but this was not the case. She did leave a message to apologize and said she would give me a substantial discount on my next massage. When I called her back, she said she would give me 15% off which I did not think was fair. She said, she would think about offering me a larger discount, but never called me back. I have been a loyal customer and always tipped generously. This is not good business and hence I will never go back there again. Also, be very careful with the woman owner because she tried to charge me for a 1 1/2 hour massage and I only had a 1 hour massage which Carlos had to confirm with her. One more thing, my husband bought me a gift certificate and I lost the gift certificate. I asked if her I could still use it, she said no because she has no record of the gift certificates that were purchased.

I had been looking for a place where I could learn yoga and also make some good use of my time. I consider myself blessed for coming across this amazing yoga studio. I have been coming here for the past two years and could not be more thankful to my beautiful instructor Carol Berlin. Her patients, love, help, passion and devotion to her students is incredible. I have found so much in this peaceful studio. Not only have I developed in yoga but I have become a stronger and better person. This place is truly a golden treasure and whoever is looking to learn yoga and help themselves, this is the place. I could not be more thankful to Carol and Freedom Within Yoga for everything it has done for me.

I was glad that I went and will consider going again even though the facility is a way from my home. I hope to participate in some yoga classes before my next session.

Reiki Master Capshew was a great instructor; he was very informative, encouraging, and patient. The hands-on practice was my favorite part because not only did it give you a chance to actively practice the techniques, but you get to practice how you would interact with a client if you chose to become a practicing professional. The BronxWitch HQ was a fantastic place to have the training because Aly's energy and the space were welcoming and strangely peaceful despite being on the busy Grand Concourse of 161st. Highly recommend!
