I am a metastatic breast cancer patient who has been coming to Dana for Reiki for almost a year…read more With Dana's help, I was able to manage the side effects of my chemotherapy and surgeries, as well as the anxiety I dealt with as a result of my diagnosis. Both I and my doctors viewed Reiki as an important part of my treatment and healing. It helped me keep a calm and positive outlook which was necessary to stay stronger during chemo. Dana's new(ish) office in downtown Decatur is comfortable and serene. There are very few distractions in this space (compared to the old space in Candler Park), which allows both those receiving and giving the good "Reiki vibes" to really experience healing on a deeper level. I don't know what I would have done without Dana, her patience and her support over the last 9 or 10 months. While I can't credit Dragonfly Reiki for curing my cancer, I can credit it for helping keep me more grounded while dealing with it.

Real. Raw. Transformative…read more Mama OD is not for those looking for sugar-coated affirmations or surface-level "feel good" advice--and that's exactly why her work is so powerful. She doesn't just speak to your situation; she speaks to your soul, to the version of you that existed before the hurt, before the programming, before the numbness. Some may mistake her direct approach as passive aggressive or disrespectful, but if you're truly ready to heal, you'll recognize it for what it is--pure truth and sacred accountability. She holds a mirror up to you with love, not coddling, and that kind of honesty is rare and deeply needed in this spiritual space. Her sessions aren't just guidance; they're remembrance. She doesn't try to "fix" you--she activates what already lives inside you. Working with her feels like being led back home to yourself. If you're serious about healing beyond the fluff, beyond the trends, and ready to step into your sovereignty... Mama OD is the one. -Atara

It's been a year or so that I've worked with Priya. I've made more progress with my complex PTSD, emotional baggage and stress with Priya's energy healing methods and just knowledge of the body and spirit, than traditional therapy. Priya uses various method to help me heal that is tailored to me and where I am at that week, hour or moment.

If you've been feeling as though something's missing in your life, want to feel more empowered or perhaps struggling to find your purpose, do yourself a huge favor and schedule an appointment with Priya! Every path is individualized, but you're likely to work on healing unresolved trauma (the correct way) and be given effective and attentive counseling that is flexible around your schedule. My time with her has been monumentally more effective and rewarding than any traditional/western medicine therapy that I've had in the past. She will tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you want to hear because she's just as invested in your healing and success as you are. She practices what she preaches: incredibly genuine and authentic, provides a safe space for complete honesty and zero judgement. I'm so grateful that I stumbled upon Awaken Ananda when I did, because before that I felt lost and clueless, now I'm much more self-confident and empowered for whatever my life has in store for me!

One reason for…read morethis is that the therapist, David Wright, is trained in medicine and specifically psychiatry (having graduated Xavier Medical School with a 4.0) - as well as psychology and state-of-the-art therapeutic techniques.

I've been working with Mary at Creative Core for several years, and have navigated some very…read moredifficult moments under her guidance. I've also sent friends her way who were struggling, and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. During tough times, our work has been very intense and focused, and during calmer periods, it has been a welcome relief to have a dedicated moment to check in, debrief, and reflect. I'm a demanding client in that I need strong, evidence-based techniques and solutions that I can't reason my way out of. Mary is extremely well-educated in her field; she learned my style quickly and always provides me with counsel and resources thorough enough for me to truly buy in and make meaningful change. She also has a terrific sense of humor, which is often a perfect respite when dealing with such serious issues. Mary has helped me sift through a wide range of topics including childhood trauma, grief and loss, toxic relationships, and career stagnation (I finally completed my Ph.D. after years of procrastinating with Mary's encouragement!). She is kind, thorough, and motivated, always keeping her eyes and ears open for new resources that might be relevant to my care, and occasionally even sending me new items in between sessions that she feels would be helpful before we're able to meet in person again. I consider Mary my safety net and trust that, whatever arises, she will be there to support and guide me through. It's a tremendous comfort to know that I don't have to weather the storms alone. I owe Mary a huge debt of gratitude for giving me the tools and confidence to push ahead. If you're struggling, needing guidance, or even if you just want a dedicated hour here and there to sort through life, I highly recommend working with Mary at Creative Core.
