Testimonials

“I was going through a messy divorce and job change. Life felt unmanageable. I had overwhelming anxiety every day and some days my anxiety was mixed with heavy depression. I just wasn’t myself. My therapist/counselor suggested I add some mindful practices. I found out about Christy and started working with her. I’ve been a regular client since our 1st session. I’ve learned a lot about myself, my patterns, and have new tools for dealing with my stressors. I feel like a new person.”

T.H.

“I was so skeptical about energy medicine but I knew Christy would guide me through and would respect my boundaries and my hesitation during my session. I’m so glad I finally scheduled my appointment. I felt a huge sense of relief, like a huge emotional weight had been lifted.”

KAREN

“For years I’ve been dealing with chronic low back pain. Even though I have great doctors, I’ve tried everything and only get temporary relief. My sleep was a mess and I had lost hope that I would ever feel ok again. Reluctantly, I scheduled a session with Christy (my persistent friend made me). My back pain has really improved, I am sleeping again and finally doing some of the activities that I’ve been missing. Thank you!”

SARA

“My friend was in the middle of a debilitating panic attack and mental health crisis. I was in the room and witnessed Christy do her thing. I will never forget how Christy knew exactly what to do when nothing else was working for my friend. Almost instantly, ‘Anna’ responded and the panic attack stopped. Watching Christy work is something I will never forget. She has a true gift for healing.”
