When we constantly push away hard emotions in the name of optimism, our bodies keep the score. Suppressed feelings can trigger stress, tension, and disconnect us from our intuition.
True balance means honoring both light and shadow — seeing life as it is, not just as we wish it to be.

I’ve reestablished my Google Business page for The Wholistic Heart Studio and one of the best ways to strengthen it is through reviews.
Unfortunately, I can’t transfer the kind words shared on my website or Facebook over to Google—so I’m reaching out!
If you’re a current or past client and feel called to share your experience, I’d be so grateful if you could leave a review on my Google page. Your words help others find their way to me.
Thank you so much for your support—it truly means the world to me! 💛

RE: Testimony in Support of H.2504 and S.1471, An Act Providing for Consumer Access and the Right to Practice Complementary and Alternative Health Care Services
Dear Chairs and Members of the Committee:
My name is (your first and last name) (or I am writing on behalf of a business or organization) and I am a (type of practitioner, teacher or consumer) who resides in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
(Do not add where you reside if you do not live or work in MA. Please note, that anyone in the US can join in writing a letter of support).
State why you support protecting unlicensed alternative and complementary health practitioners. Include a personal story, perhaps how you or someone you know benefited from this care. Tell the Committee how the law could affect you, your family, and your community and/or organization or business.
Example:
I want to voice my strong support for H.2504 and S.1471, as a law will protect existing holistic practitioners in Massachusetts and encourage new healers to set up practices.
I’ve personally benefited from seeing a variety of holistic and energy medicine practitioners over the past 20 years for things like headaches, joint pain, insomnia, and hormonal issues. I’m so grateful to have access to these kinds of options when I need them. As stress levels rise and more people struggle with chronic health issues, every state should want to make it easier—not harder—for residents to access complementary or alternative care. That’s why laws to protect these practitioners are so important.
Please vote yes on H.2504 and S.1471. Thank you for your time and consideration of this issue.
Sincerely,
Print your name
City if you are from MA

“The journey towards health begins with a single step.”........
My own journey began in 2012 with my first Reiki session. I was the patient. I was seeking relief for a chronic hip injury. What I received was so much more. Reiki changed my life and set me on a path towards healing. It was more than just physical. I was able to open myself to healing very old emotional wounds. As well, Reiki has given me a deep spiritual connection to healing and passion for alternative and holistic healthcare solutions.
I felt this urge to share my experience with others. I wanted people to feel the lightness, joy & peace that I was feeling. In 2016, I became a certified Reiki Practitioner.... Fast forward! Let me introduce myself...
Hi! My name is Jennifer Mello. I am a certified Reiki I & II Practitioner with a passion for guiding others to achieve better overall health & wellness.
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique based on the principle of channeling energy into the patient by means of touch. This activates the natural healing processes of the body, restoring physical, spiritual, & emotional well being. I use crystals, stones, Himalayan salt rocks, & essential oils in many of my sessions. These are powerful tools that possess beneficial healing qualities. When paired with Reiki the experience is enhanced. The results will leave you feeling amazing!
