Jennifer is like nobody I've ever met. Upon meeting her, you immediately feel at ease. She is…read morebeyond kind and extremely intuitive. Jennifer seems to know exactly what you need even if you are unsure. I first met her for a short chair reiki session that a friend brought me to. This friend found physical healing after a past life/reiki session. Her husband had unexplained aches disappear after working with Jennifer. I was curious though skeptical. During the short session I found deep emotions locked so far away, I didn't know I was feeling them until they surfaced. I never anticipated that my session would include cathartic crying. I'm not an emotional person. I left relaxed and oddly at peace. Today, I took my family back for another session. My husband does not believe in anything he can't see. Agnostic on a good day, he certainly wouldn't believe that someone could manipulate energy, talk to spirits, or tap into past lives. I think he came thinking he'd leave disappointed. Jennifer does not disappoint. My husband enjoyed the session and agreed to come back soon. He felt more relaxed in those 15 minutes than I've seen him after a massage. He left smiling and I could tell that a weight had been lifted. My children, ages 5 and 7 wanted to try it. It wasn't in our original plan, but there was no reason to deny the request. Both kids enjoyed themselves. Jennifer is just as amazing with children. They each felt calm and happy and asked to come back again. My second experience was very different. This time, I felt relaxed. Much like my husband, I found a sense of calm and happiness that I rarely experience. If you are seeking out meditation, healing, or relief from pain or painful emotions, I highly recommend you visit Thrive Community Wellness. After spending time with Jennifer, you will leave feeling calmer, relaxed, and happier.

As a Buddhist of the Thai Theravada tradition, I was excited when I first thought I could attend…read moredharma talks by legit Thai monks here in CA. When I looked into visiting, it was quite odd to me that the website was asking me to pay to reserve a seat before ever even going. This struck me as odd. Only a bit of investigation was needed before I quickly learned this is a cult with tremendous wealth and power. Rather than accepting "Dana," a contribution made of generosity in Buddhism, where no one is turned away due to a lack of funds to meditate, they specifically charge and further proclaim, the more you donate, the 'better your merit. Be careful if you get involved with this group. They advocate for materialism and wealth, which is absolutely not in alignment with the ancient teachings of the Buddha. In fact, his views were *the very opposite*.

If you are reading this your are already on your way to finding what you are searching for. I was…read moreso blessed to find Terry. I wanted to be hypnotized for success in business and in all ventures I want to pursue. I was open to everything but still was a small percent skeptical but what I went through with Terry guiding me was a complete paradigm shift. I learned so much about myself and left with an profound understanding of my inevitable future of success, wealth in abundance, and exactly how to get there. Some won't believe this but literally 1 hour after my session I started receiving the most amount of leads to my business I have ever received in a single day (I'll post pics for proof). The next day I knew exactly what it would take to scale my business which I have been trying to do for years but now it seemed so clear. I sold most those leads the very next day and am already planning my future expansions like a video game I can't put down. He helped me see 2 possible paths for my life and I have total control of which one I choose. I could write so many more things that most would consider coincidence but perception is reality and I know for a fact this experience changed my life in such a positive and profound way that I had to take the time to write this.

I live everyday waking up to my hot tub and doing stretches, which is repeated before bed - that way I can move- some. I need Atlas adjustments, stretching and most important my Massages. Yesterday was for specific lower back pain, I could not stand up straight - I have a herniated L4 for those of you with back issues. Diana is so knowledgeable and got me moving again, last week it was my shoulders and neck area, but typically my legs, hips and right knee. My permanent residence is in No Lake Tahoe, but I am here in San Clemente for 5 months of the year - it took me almost two years to find the best - I tried almost every place in town. So if you are an ex-jock like me, or just have issues and haven't tried this wonder woman, you are long over due. She also does meditation, massages horses so there is that spiritual connection. She always asks how the pressure is, you can tell her how deep to go - but remember, no pain, no gain and finally..... you can sign up on line - lots of options - I always pay cash

I came here after a very big trauma in April 2019. I called ahead and spoke to someone who was very…read morekind regarding my situation and they said this was the place I should be and in the beginning I loved it. It really helped regulate my nervous system And I very much appreciated. Franz and the way he helped guide beginners. What I did not appreciate was a woman who was also a beginner and craved support on an almost competitive level. She was very much attended to and a bit of a trauma dumper. I left for a while because of her, she just kept showing up in my space, but that was my choice to leave. Fast forward to the pandemic I did try to rejoin online and I was met with that same woman who I did try to extend an Olive branch to, since she was struggling and kept "showing up". She was the same trauma dumper, yet didn't remember me. But something that came to light is that I was not allowed to join the book group that she had created. As I got better, I thought about going back in spite of this woman, but then I saw that she is part of faculty Ultimately I decided that a group that would support someone with that behavior, in the way that they did is not the right group for me. I probably should have and I thought about contacting leaders in this group, but at that time, my nervous system was not in a place to defend myself and it's somehow felt small and petty. Better to let her have her way. However, six years later, I see that this is not the Buddhist way, which is the way they follow. I was not shown loving kindness in a time when I really needed it.

Most programs are donation based but they also offer fee-based retreats where you can apply for a scholarship. The facilities are clean and inviting. They serve cold and hot water for tea.

If you're looking to learn how to meditate or you already have a practice but you want to sit with other people, try one of their classes. I can't recommend this place enough. It has changed my life!
