With all the news in the world today and how it is affecting our mental well-being, I encourage you to focus on what you can control, instead of being eaten up by what is feeling disparaging, unjust, and horrific. I’m not saying turn a blind eye or shut out what is happening, but know you have more power than you realize. Know that how you react to situations is within your power.

Kindness is not a weakness. So many people think it’s weak, yet it is extremely powerful. Truly kind people are self-regulated, confident in who they are, self-aware and compassionate. To bring more of this into the world will, in fact, breed more content. Our innate state of being is joy. It is up to us as individuals to uncover that state of being - yes, even in these challenging times. - My soapbox rant for today. — Don’t let them steal your joy or dim your light. Feel the feels, and go hug someone you love hard today.

The weight of the world’s issues woke me up at 4:00 am, and I’m learning to shift my focus from fear to love, embracing gratitude and joy. As I navigate life’s challenges, I’m reminded that true wealth lies in the beauty of relationships, family, grandchildren, meaningful friendships, kindness, and small miracles. 🌷

A grateful heart is the key to unlocking happiness, and those who have these treasures are indeed rich beyond measure, for money can’t buy the things that truly matter.❤️

Let’s focus on what matters most to you. What are you grateful for? I would to know!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m offeing Dermaplaning at Pure Spa, a cutting-edge treatment that harnesses the power of gentle, physical exfoliation to reveal smoother, brighter skin.

Using a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel, this non-invasive treatment carefully removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, enhancing skincare absorption and creating a flawless canvas for makeup. Whether as a standalone treatment or an add-on to a facial, Dermaplaning is a game-changer for achieving radiant skin and unlocking your full skincare potential.

Looking forward to seeing you at Pure Spa 💕🌷

The true journey of an empath isn’t about fixing others; it’s about coming home to themselves. It’s about understanding that their need to fix, please, give, and compensate are survival mechanisms that prevent them from seeing who actually needs saving versus who doesn’t.

It is about learning that love doesn’t mean losing yourself, and peace doesn’t mean people-pleasing. It means standing tall in your truth, even if it means standing alone because this is when an empath becomes truly empowered—when they learn to use the power of discernment to stand their ground and not let the world take advantage of their sensitivity.

Come home my friend.

“One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.” ~ Shannon L. Alder

Three years I’ve spent trying my best to accomplish fitting into new jobs, being a good girlfriend and doing my best to support myself and survive in a place I have been asked to come and be at home. I now know, home is me. It’s myself.

“As has been said, it is so hard to put into words the incredible experiences I’ve received during my Reiki sessions with Shannon. Putting aside the awesomeness of Shannon alone, she possesses and incredible healing ability through her practice. I have never turned down the opportunity to add Reiki to many treatments over the years and each time has been different.

I leave feeling emotionally sober, grounded spiritually and extremely relaxed. Sometimes the energy is so strong the heat sensations are something to be experienced for yourself and sometimes my encounters have been so beautifully subtle — which was exactly what I had needed. I never know what to expect. However, all I know is that I will never turn down the addition to Reiki for my treatments.” - Brooke Smith

I have spent years trying to diminish my gifts, refrain from getting involved in any “difficult conversations” and always wanting to find peace or harmony — to the detriment of sacrificing my own feelings and opportunities for advancement or even to pursue my dreams. No more. I have finally reached a place of self respect and self love that I won’t compromise my truth for peace any longer. It’s taken a lot of courage.

It’s not selfish to want to be your best for the greater good. It’s not selfish to stand up for your core values. It’s not selfish to want a better future and pursue your hearts desire. 💕

It’s ok to feel frustrated, angry or irritated if you’re being taken advantage of, undervalued or recognizing that you’re not being appreciated. (This is often not a YOU PROBLEM btw).

Remembering to shine anyway, to seek your full potential in places that support your vision for your life, and team play are imperative to your growth and success in life.

It has taken me years to come to this knowing! But now that I’m here, I am ready for the opportunity to shine my light in new ways that will help others to shine too.

, I’m excited to have the support and leadership to share with others the gift of Reiki, to provide energetic services and to touch souls while facilitating your own personal journeys.

Thanks to I’ve finally come home. 🙏🏻✨✨✨

Our Skin always tells a story; what does yours say? Tired and dull? Angry acne or inflamed? Redness on nose and cheeks? Sun damaged and thirsty?

Core emotions manifest in our physical bodies, so it is crucial we merge skin science with a holistic approach to your skin health. This facial includes an in depth Body•Mind•Spirit Consult and Emotional Skin Mapping analysis so we can get to the spiritual and physical root of your specific skin concerns.

In every treatment, prayer or meditation is used to invite harmony throughout the chakras. It’s a journey and many clients share they feel deeply restored and aligned as they float out of the treatment room with glowing skin, a lighter heart and a more joyful soul.

This customized spiritual facial has all of the classic steps of a Skin Treatment with a big boost of REIKI to foster a deeper connection with your spirit! It will not just leave your skin feeling and looking amazing, it will NOURISH YOUR SOUL!
