How Anxiety Interferes With Being Successful Academically & In Life
A Quest for Well-Being
— Over the past 7 years or so, Sheryl Roessler has seen a huge uptick in students with anxiety (sometimes mixed with depression). She has always had clients who deal with anxiety, but our world has changed dramatically. Sheryl first saw indications of this with the broad use of cell phones and social media –TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and in the past, Facebook.

10 Health Benefits For Trusting Your Intuition
A Quest for Well-Being
— How do you feel when you hear the word “psychic”? Spine-chilling goose-bumps or a thrilling allure? A burning desire to discover more or an impulse to run? Fascination or fear?

Natasha Rosewood brings the word “psychic” out of the witch’s closet and into the light of...

Over the past month, a beautiful realization has blossomed in my heart: as I've reached out to heal others, I’ve been healing myself in profound ways.
Energy healing, a cornerstone of my life’s work, has always been a path of connection for me—connecting to the divine energy of the universe, to the unique vibrancy of each client, and to the deep, often unspoken layers of emotional and spiritual experience. Recently, I've seen an increase in clients seeking solace and healing in the therapies I offer.
With each session, as I channel energy and intention towards their healing, I’ve noticed a mirror-like reflection of healing light that shines back on me.
It’s a curious and marvelous phenomenon—the healer healing thyself through the act of healing others.
This personal evolution has profoundly impacted my closest relationships, particularly with my husband. The more I engage in healing others, the more I find that the heart wall I built around myself is crumbling.
Similarly, the connection with my children grows richer each day. As I align more with the universe and the energy flows through me, I notice a beautiful increase in the love and joy we share.
Reflecting on this, I'm struck by the profound truth that our capacity to help others heal is intrinsically linked to our own healing. In every moment of connection, we are not just facilitators of healing; we are participants in a grand, intertwining dance of rejuvenation.” ~ Lucia
