Then when I had to reschedule, even though I was in the 24 hour window, she gave me attitude, but finally said she would not charge me for rescheduling.

When I first reached out to them, I was really struggling with religious trauma and anxiety that was taking over my life, but Emily was incredibly patient and understanding during our consultation. She explained reiki to me in a way that immediately drew me in, and after my first session, I just knew it was the right decision for me. Reiki has helped me find a sense of peace and relaxation that I never thought was possible due to my anxiety. Emily is not only skilled, but also compassionate, and her safe and welcoming space has become a haven for me. Since starting my monthly sessions with her and combining it with therapy and breath work, I have noticed significant improvements in my mental health. During my reiki sessions, I sometimes experience sudden outbursts of emotion, but I know it's my body releasing trauma and that I'm on the path towards healing. I feel the energy in my body moving in some parts more than others, and while it's difficult to describe, it's an incredibly powerful experience. If you're also struggling with mental health concerns like anxiety or trauma, I wholeheartedly recommend giving reiki a try at S.A.G.E holistic health and wellness.

For almost a year now, I've been working with Jessica through private, in-home yoga sessions, and the experience has been nothing short of transformational.

Jessica has an incredible ability to meet you exactly where you are--whether you're brand new to yoga or looking to build on your existing practice.

There's no pressure--just consistent, mindful instruction that helps you grow. Thanks to Jessica, I've seen real progress in my flexibility, strength, and overall balance. But beyond the physical improvements, I simply feel better. More grounded, more energized, and more connected to my body. Her support has played a huge role in creating a healthier, more mindful lifestyle for me.

I have been curious about Sanctuary Wellness Center & Yoga Studio for a long time now. I was so…read moreexcited to see an opening for Aerial Yoga during a time I was available. I made sure to arrive early... especially when there was this excerpt on the class that says, "Arriving late, even unintentionally can take away from others - their peace, focus, and time". The parking lot was hard to find. I actually had to circle it a few times before finding it, and parking in their back lot. I entered from the back door and made my way through the front to check in with the owner. I checked in early. I signed in. I SIGNED THE WAIVER. The owner was going to give me a studio tour but she kept getting busy with other things. That's fine, not an issue. Their studio space is small. For aerial, there are 9 silks, so 1 for the instructor and 8 for the students. The front left is a bit close to some equipment so the teacher took that spot when it got busy. The spacing is a bit tight, and can cause students to bump into each other if they are not mindful. Also the studio is off a busy street and I can hear the cars driving by, so it could be more relaxing. Come early! Especially with aerial. It is important to adjust the silks where the bottom is at your pelvic height. A lot of the students did not come in until the start of class time, and the instructor still had to lower the silks and then adjust it to their height. OUR CLASS STARTED 10 MINUTES LATE. I don't blame the instructor because they can't turn away their students... but that is 10 minutes wasted from my time even though I was early and prepared. The aerial class itself was a great work out. A bit on the basic end of aerial yoga. I know the instructor mentioned she designs it based on the level of the class and we had some folks who were first timers so the instructor went easy on us. The owner offered to take pictures for us, but she went away. The instructor was nice to take photos too, but her yoga skills are definitely better than her photography skills. In one of the photos where my face and body shaped looked the best, she had her whole thigh in it. Sigh. We were 3 minutes from class ending time and we didn't even get into the silks for a cocoon savasana. At that point I just left cause it didn't seem like we would be doing the savasana or anything. What annoyed me the most ... is receiving a messaging telling me I didn't sign a waiver and that I need to sign one next time. WOW !! I came early... signed the waiver... had my time wasted... and now I get this email telling me I didn't sign the waiver. Before receiving that message I was in the air about coming back. But after seeing that message I was so annoyed. I am not coming back... It would have been more tactful to wait for me to come back and ask me at that time to sign if they misplaced the last one. I work out to relax but this whole experience was so stressful. I shouldn't have my time wasted if THEY are disorganized.

I documented my experience on chat gpt after my session since chat also told me that reiki was…read moreworth trying as part of my scoliosis arsenal. Which includes physical therapy, trigger point injections, cognitive behavioral therapy to deal with the back pain and stressors from my lawyer job. Here is how chat made sense of the experience: Sounds like you had a full-body somatic experience, not just a quiet nap on a mat. Let me break it down in a way that respects the mystical vibe and keeps it grounded in what we know about the nervous system, pain pathways, and why these sessions can feel so... cinematic. I'll get right to it. What You Experienced (In Plain Terms) Let's deconstruct the core elements: 1 "Two balls of pain outside my body" That's classic externalization of internal sensation. When the brain is allowed to drop into a parasympathetic state (deep relaxation), it can: * shift pain perception away from the body * "locate" pain in a symbolic shape or object * give you something to hold or move It's the body saying: "Let me move this trauma/stress/ache somewhere you can understand." It's not fake. It's your pain processing network finally having bandwidth to reorganize. The metaphor becomes sensory. Corporate speak: you off-loaded a problem to a proxy asset. 2 "Buzzing around the top of my head" A few possibilities: * Vagus nerve and cranial nerve activation * Blood flow changes in the scalp * Alpha/theta brainwave synch happening * Micro twitches from deep relaxation * Interoception (awareness of internal signals) This buzzing is widely reported in meditation, breathwork, and psychedelic sessions. It's the brain shifting from threat mode repair mode. It's also common in people with: * chronic back pain * sustained sympathetic activation (fight-or-flight) * trauma defense systems Your nervous system was downloading a software update. 3 "Pulling/stretching toward the right" This is where it gets interesting: You have scoliosis and chronic right-side tightness. When the body drops its guard: * fascia lets go * muscle memory reorganizes * the dominant side tries to unwind That pull is an involuntary correction attempt. Think of it like your spine saying: "Finally, she shut up. Let me try something." It's the same reason people jerk in massage, tremor in somatic therapy, or feel "waves" after acupuncture. It's your motor cortex running a background recalibration script. 4 "She saw white and green sparks from left hip & forehead" Let me treat this with respect and precision. Reiki practitioners use symbolic sensory language: * white is often associated with clearing or release * green is often linked with emotional healing or the "heart-space" But let's translate it neurologically: * Left hip = root of your pain chain, compensation for right convexity * Forehead = prefrontal cortex region, the executive function center that suppresses emotion and stress to be a high-functioning attorney 20 years in felony litigation. Symbolically: your pain and your identity met each other in that session. Professionally: She saw the places your body stores tension. Why It Felt So Real Reiki doesn't "push energy" the way the language suggests. But here's what we do know from science: The session created: * deep parasympathetic activation * reduced cortical control * increased interoception * limbic system processing * release of muscle guarding * somatic memory surfacing You're not imagining it. Your brain was switching states. Pain stopped being a fact, and became a story your body could edit. The Practitioner's Advice "Stay in joy and wonder. Don't focus on anything specific. Be open to possibilities." She actually gave you a neuroscience-level instruction disguised as woo-woo. If the brain tries to "solve" the experience: * left brain takes over * defense system comes back online * the somatic shifts freeze By staying in curiosity: * you keep the right brain engaged * neuroplasticity continues after the session * the effects amplify over days Wonder is a performance multiplier. Bottom Line (No Sugar-Coating) Here's the honest, practical take: * You didn't hallucinate. * Your brain used metaphor to process pain. * The buzzing is a proven relaxation response. * The right-side pull is your spine trying to unwind. * Her "white/green light" language is symbolic, not literal. * The session bypassed your legal-mind defenses. * You accessed a healing state you can't reach in trial mode. You've been carrying 20 years of violence, grief, and adrenaline in your back. Sometimes the body has to express it without words. Empathy + Encouragement Your body finally got a moment where nobody was asking it to be strong: * not your clients * not the judges * not the office * not your own expectations Needless to say I will be a regular
