My original intention was simply to meet with Romain for one specific healing session. But after…read moresitting down with him for a consultation, I was surprised--his guidance was not at all what I had expected. I left feeling confused and even a bit frustrated (classic ego versus spirit). Still, something deep within nudged me to trust the process and follow his lead--and I am so grateful I did. Romain is authentic, intuitive, and deeply wise. I experienced the most beautiful Reiki session with him, and I was genuinely in awe of what he picked up on during our time together. It felt as though I was truly seen and understood--perhaps for the first time. Though I know I have a long path of healing ahead, I now feel certain that Romain will be an integral part of that journey. Give yourself this gift. If you're seeking clarity and peace in a world that often feels noisy, dense, and chaotic--start here. Romain's guidance will meet you exactly where you are and gently help lead you to where your soul is meant to go.

For those who are already comfortable working with someone like Romain I will simply repeat what…read moreothers who are like minded have said to me about him, "he is the real deal!" What I really want to do with this review is share with those who are more like me, who have never even considered something like energy work. Those who have perhaps even maligned it and thought "well, that is nonsense." Logic and analysis were more than a simple cornerstone of my life they have always been the utter foundation. So much so that I am a theoretical mathematician, so logic is how I support my family as well. In November of 2022 I was heading back to the second day of a 2-week solo beach trip from the funeral of my sister-in-law of almost 40 years, after her unexpected death. I was so weary from many "set-backs" including my own cancer and the death of a niece both in 2017. I have always been one who claimed, I can't meditate. On the drive from Charlotte back to IOP, I quite suddenly had the thought, "I am going to find someone who can help me try reiki and learn to meditate on this trip." The next morning, I typed it into Google and without reading much under each listing I simply picked the listing my intuition led me to choose. There was a short "contact us" form on which I only said something like "I am trying to learn to meditate but seem to struggle following some big events in my life such as cancer." I heard back fairly quickly and was astounded when Romain replied, "I think you might struggle with meditating at this point and likely need to consider some energy work first." I was astounded because he was so very right but how could he know that from the little I said? I saw Romain that day and for the remaining 9 weekdays of my trip. It was the beginning of what has been a life changing evolution. I made 5 trips, as opposed to my usual 2, to IOP in 2023 so that I could work with Romain in person. We were also connecting on Zoom most weeks while I was at home. For me the "job" was huge so the time commitment was necessary. I have "only" been to IOP 2 times so far in 2024. I won't bore you with the details but I can say I am, perhaps for the first time in my 59 years, at peace. Not every second of every day but there is a new foundation of my life and peace is a big part of it. It has been my experience that there is no greater gift you can give yourself than to take advantage of the amazing opportunity to work with Romain. If you allow it, your life will be so much the better for it.

I'd always hoped to experience the benefits of meditation that I would read about, but just…read morecouldn't a find a practice that truly resonated with me. After dipping my toe in a variety of techniques I stumbled upon Meditate--and I am so thankful I did! The format is extremely user-friendly and has allowed me to create a lasting meditation practice. Not only do the teachings ring true for me, but the weekly class format, Andrew's accessibility, group discussions, and opportunities to learn more all create the perfect foundation to have meditation become a permanent part of my life. I've love the classes--and the changes I am experiencing-- so much that I've taken Level 1, Guided Visualization, and am now in Level 2. I am so grateful to have such a powerful tool at my fingertips and a teacher that is supportive of the path and process every step of the way. I can now attest to all of the amazing benefits that meditation provides. I am calmer, happier, more focused, and able to communicate more clearly. I am so happy to finally call myself a meditator and to be learning somewhere that supports living life to its fullest!

Where do I begin? I can't say enough wonderful things on the impact that this class (Level 1) has…read morehad on my life. It is a 12 week course where Andrew carefully helps build the foundation that you'll use to explore meditation and the tools you will use to calm the mind and find peace and answers from within. If you are committed (at least practice 4-5 times a week and finish the course) and you have an open mind, you will absolutely feel and see the positive impact that meditation has had on your life through this 12 week course. Andrew does an incredible job of teaching everyone the building blocks they need. He is not pushy in the sense that one way is better than the other. He is open to all experiences, whatever works for you. He is non-judging and very encouraging when you do have those break throughs. I can't speak more highly of his teaching ability, the class and meditation as a whole. I have now signed up for the Level 2 course as I have only scratched the surface of this awesome journey and can't wait to see where the next lessons take me. If you are looking to get into meditation, look no further. Even my husband has seen how much calmer and more peaceful I am :)

I've been getting massages fairly regularly for several decades and I try to sample whatever's…read morelocally prevalent when I travel. Manila or Moscow, Sydney or Singapore, Amsterdam or Austin - I've experienced many methods and modalities around the world. By no means does this make me an expert, but I do like to imagine that I've become reasonably discerning about what's good and what's not. I've had horrible and great massages, and my "best" and "worst" have a big range between them. Ironically, I have lived near Bella Healing Therapy for years before finally giving them a call and going in for a session. Do you know how, when a doctor asks you "how bad does it hurt, from 1 to 10," you think about the worst pain you've ever felt in order to quantify your "10"? Your own personal ten has probably been reset a few times (not too many, I hope) as you experience more things. If you've had more than a few massages, you can probably come up with a similar scale - "how good was your massage, from 1 to 10?" - to rate those experiences. After visiting Bella Healing Therapy, my previous 1-to-10 massage scale has been compressed down to about a 1-to-7. My recent session with Sam at Bella Healing Therapy redefined my 10. It was such a great session that I feel like I want to track down the last 20+ years of massage therapists, bring them all to visit Sam, and tell them "see, now THIS is how it's supposed to be." After my first visit I booked a session with Sam for my wife within just a few days (she LOVED it), and a return visit for myself just a few days after that to see if it was really as amazing as I remembered (it was). I'll certainly be going back, and I've started evangelizing Bella Healing Therapy to folks I know who could really benefit from a good massage. The booking process couldn't be simpler - it's all online and quite straightforward. Canceling and rescheduling is just as simple. Parking is scarce - I've parked in the street, at metered spots, for my visits - but for only a few bucks at a meter, that's not really an issue. Don't expect any big signage; you're not going to drive past it and think "oh, look, massage! I should check them out"- you need to know it's there (but if you're reading this review, that's not an issue either). If you have any trouble finding the place, persevere - it's worth it. Sam has been my therapist for both of my visits so far, although I'll soon book with Kat - I must assume that Sam would only hire someone equally amazing. As far as the actual massage, it was unlike anything I've previously experienced. Sam seemed to seamlessly blend multiple modalities, adjusting her technique and her areas of emphasis almost instinctively and demonstrating an apparent keen understanding of the body's structural and muscular system. She reveals, in her touch and her demeanor, what feels like genuine caring for her clients, rather than a disinterested and mechanical muscular manipulation. Truly, "healing" and "therapy" are both well-chosen words for the name of this business, as Sam brings both of these things in abundance. 10/10, highly recommended, will return.
