🎃 Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃
In the spirit of the season, I thought I'd share a little spooky tale from my journey. When I started my practice some 20 years ago, many people thought my work was, well, hocus-pocus! Fast forward to today, and guess what? Even the NIH is taking a serious look at the healing touch practices I do, studying how they can ease pre-surgery anxiety, promote wound healing, and offer support during complex journeys like breast cancer treatment.
Today, I’m thrilled to say that what was once seen as “woo-woo” is now known as energy medicine. It’s an amazing field that works hand-in-hand with traditional medicine to create a true win-win for our patients. I’m so proud to be a part of this transformation, sharing the benefits of human touch and energy healing in ways that are proven to make a difference.
If you have questions or just want to learn more about how we bridge the gap between conventional and complementary medicine, give me a shout—I’d love to talk with you. Happy haunting and healing! 🎃✨

Halloween can be as fun and magical for our pets as it is for us, but keeping them safe is key. Here are some holistic, mindful tips to make Halloween stress-free for your furry friends:

Secure Their Space
With lots of activity at the door, pets can easily slip out. Consider creating a cozy, quiet area away from the front entrance so they feel safe and aren’t tempted to dart out. A little lavender essential oil diffused nearby can create a soothing vibe (just make sure the oil is pet-safe and the diffuser is out of reach).

Keep Candy Out of Reach
Halloween treats like chocolate and xylitol (found in sugar-free gum) are toxic to pets. Instead, stock up on safe pet treats to give them when they see you with candy so they feel included without the risk.

Watch the Decor
Strings, fake cobwebs, or small decorations might look fun but can be a choking hazard or cause digestive issues if eaten. Keep these items high up and out of reach. LED candles instead of real ones also reduce fire hazards if they get too curious.

Choose Costumes Carefully
If your pet enjoys dressing up, go for lightweight costumes that don’t limit movement or vision. Keep their ears and tails free so they can still communicate. Test it out before Halloween night to ensure they’re comfortable.

Mind Their Social Battery
With doorbells ringing and people in costumes, Halloween can be overwhelming. Be mindful of your pet’s stress levels, and if they seem anxious, let them retreat to their quiet zone. You can play soft music to mask the noise or even wrap them in a pet anxiety vest if they’re prone to stress.

Check ID Tags and Microchips
If your pet does slip out, having updated ID tags and a registered microchip will make reuniting easier.

Be Present and Calm
Animals pick up on our energy. Staying relaxed and positive will reassure them that everything is okay! Spend a little extra time cuddling or playing after the trick-or-treaters head home so they end the night feeling safe and loved.

Sharing this testimonial from a client who visited last week:

A Transformative Experience at Wellness by Shari

It had been nearly a decade since I last visited Shari Sternberger's Healing Center in Highland, Maryland. Now living two hours away, I found myself back in town for a funeral and decided to reconnect with Shari at her Wellness by Shari Healing Center. From the moment I drove up the secluded driveway, I was enveloped by a sense of peace. The natural beauty, the birds chirping in the trees, and the serene atmosphere instantly calmed me.

Shari greeted me with her characteristic warmth and welcomed me inside. As soon as I stepped through the door, I was surrounded by soothing scents and calming energy, perfectly setting the stage for the transformative experience to come.

In the tranquil environment Shari has created, it’s easy to feel at ease. Her gentle demeanor and profound expertise are immediately apparent, and her intuitive understanding of my needs was clear from the start. Shari’s approach to energy medicine is nothing short of magical—her blend of vast knowledge and genuine compassion creates a healing experience that is deeply personal and profoundly impactful.

What truly stands out about Wellness by Shari is the depth of Shari’s wisdom and the variety of healing techniques she offers. Over the years, she has partnered with practitioners who bring unique skills to the center, enriching the experience for every visitor. Whether it’s energy work, mindfulness practices, or other holistic therapies, the care you receive is always thoughtful, personalized, and effective.

Shari’s dedication to her clients' well-being extends beyond treatments; she provides a wealth of resources to support your wellness journey long after you leave. I left the center feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and empowered with tools to continue my healing journey at home.

If you’re seeking a sanctuary where your mind, body, and spirit can truly heal and thrive, Wellness by Shari is the place for you. With Shari as your guide, you’re truly in the best of hands.
