Allow us to introduce ourselves!

Meet Michele, Matt, Marcella, and Mateo.

We are the Rogers Family, the new owners of Timberline Williamsburg and we are beyond thrilled to host new and seasoned glampers at our six tent location in Chickahominy Riverfront Park!

Michele's lifetime of varied experiences ranging from her childhood upbringing in a Jersey shore motel to health and fitness coaching and passion for nature coupled with Matt's background in the Marine Corps, love of adventure, and entrepreneurial spirit prepared us perfectly for this role.

You can find out more about our back story in the About Us link below.

Although we reside in Ashland, VA, homeschooling our two littles offers us the flexibility to be available and immersive into Timberline Williamsburg.

We can't wait to bring new offerings, add-ons, and exceptional customer service to the experience.

Hang with us as we get acclimated and streamline our processes in order to provide what we promise with diligence!

Weekday stays are discounted through the end of April!

Call us, DM us, or click the link in our bio to make a reservation!

We hope you'll come see us!

"The body is the mouthpiece for the soul"

Trying to resolve your physical health issues by exclusively physical means is like trying to fix a frozen computer by banging on the keys.⌨️

The actual problem is the code running in the background, not the hardware that you're taking your frustrations out on.

Your body is the hardware. Your emotions & belief systems are the code. Your entire being is encompassed by both.

If the computer isn't responding how you want it to, it probably requires a reboot, & some software reprogramming.

Comment "HTMA" to learn how hair tissue mineral analysis can help you reprogram, & start to heal.

I'm working on just pushing content out so I can actually share information rather than trying to perfect it.

The problem is, you all respond better to videos than acting & I don't love filming myself. So I'm pushing through!

I want folks to know just how helpful HTMA is.

If you've been considering exploring functional medicine because conventional medicine isn't helping you, THIS is where to start.

Minerals are foundational.

If you don't balance the basics, the fluff you try to pile on won't work the way you think.

Physical symptoms are a message from you buddy that something in your world has to change.

👉🏽MASKING SYMPTOMS ISN'T HEALING.

Don't shoot the messenger. Ask it questions. Gently coax it to find out what it wants to say.

This is how I can help, starting with hair tissue mineral analysis.

The balance of minerals in your body are affected not only by your diet, but by how you handle stress, & how aligned you are with your thoughts & feelings.

That's right. You can eat how you think is "clean" or "healthy" but if you are pushing yourself too hard or not living your truth, your minerals will be depleted.

Take calcium. If your levels are too high, it's an indication that materials are going to get blocked getting into the cells.

Materials like thyroid hormone.

If you've been told your thyroid levels are normal but seem to have hypothyroid symptoms, this is likely the reason why.

Taking meds will alter your blood levels, but this tests don't reflect what's going on at the cellular level.

HTMA does. It's a 2-3 month snapshot of what is going on IN THE TISSUES & ORGANS, for which hair is a proxy.

If you want to find out more, comment HTMA and I'll reach out with a message & coupon code for your first test!

It makes little difference if you receive a Reiki healing in person or intentionally from a remote location.

Suspend your disbelief for a moment & consider how quickly a text message is received. Energy is vibratory. Everything on Earth is vibrating at different frequencies. Matter vibrates slowly, thought forms, light energy, & Spirit vibrate much faster.

Intention, prayer, thought energy is timeless and without form....

Reiki is an ancient healing technique, refined by Japanese founder Mikao Usui in the 1920s, that works by channeling the powerful Universal Life Force present in all creation into the human energy field via light touch or hovering hands over the body

It allows SELF-HEALINGto take place within every layer as needed: the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions.

Self-healing means that I work as a facilitator in ALLOWING this energy to enter your field in a more direct and intentional manner, and harmonizing loving energy withing your entire field, activating healing potential more quickly and most appropriately.

There is no religious doctrine affiliated or incongruence with Reiki and is it accepted by people of many cultures, backgrounds, and belief systems.

The practitioner merely needs to be a present and open channel to the Universal Life Force energy, which we experience as Divine healing love moving through us and into the recipient.

It is resoundingly evident that powerful and measurable shifts can take place with Reiki healing, allowing it to be used alongside traditional therapy and conventional medicine.

While it can take many sessions to shift big energy blockages that have been in place for some time, you will immediately experience deep relaxation and grounding, stress reduction, and an upgrade in overall well-being.

Experience this transcendent energy work from the comfort of your home!

This weekend, I'm offering 30 minute Distance Healing Sessions for just $39, when you apply the discount code. You can add a Health Oracle reading to bolster your insights.

This should make everyone furious.

If you think the FDA ever had your health or best interests in mind, this should set you straight.

They've known red dye can cause cancer for decades.

They took it out of cosmetics and topicals BUT KEPT IT IN FOOD AND MEDICINE.

Europe knew better and banned it years ago. The companies that stand to profit from keeping it in their products already had alternatives, but had no incentive to replace it in the US

Halloween is coming up. There are plenty of treats that don't have dyes. You're not harming them by forbidding Skittles (doubly toxic with titanium dioxide) or Starburst. On the contrary... By allowing them even the occasional dyed candy, you will add to their toxic load and contribute to their risk for thyroid and other cancers.

Please consider handing out dye-free treats and trashing and cancer-causing candy in their Halloween stash.

I've always done this, and my kids are not at all deprived and I know I'm doing what I can to protect them.

Uncover the shocking truth about Red No. 3 dye: how the FDA knowingly exposed children to a cancer-causing food additive for 35 years, risking millions of young lives.

I used to share my political opinions frequently in my 20s and 30s. I don't do that anymore because I eventually realized the futility in it.

I believed that my views and perspectives were "correct", like most people. (We rarely hold beliefs we find to be incorrect!).

Therein lies the rub: if you ever changed your mind about someone or something with new information or the passage of time, doesn't that mean you have the capacity to sometimes be "wrong"?

That's because right and wrong are a trap. An egoic illusion. There is too much nuance and complexity in life for one way to always be correct, and allowing space for other perspectives seems necessary for us to all coexist.

Insisting our way is right is what keeps us all separate as people, prevents us from relating rather than being curious, shifts our attention onto others rather than where it always should be--on ourselves.

Hold your beliefs, but allow others the same even if you find them to be "wrong".

We heal the world and its atrocities by healing ourselves first.

Full stop.

👉🏽You can't control the most powerful systems in the world with more power.

👉🏽You can't stop an unstable person from committing a violent act by directing hostility.

👉🏽You can't force someone to adopt your views by telling them they're wrong.

While chaos and low vibrational energy is erupting in the world, change YOUR energy by uplifting it.

💗Be kind to your children when they break the rules. Teach them by modeling the behaviors you want them to learn.

💗Hug your spouse when you're still mad at them. Open the door for love to return.

💗Hold boundaries with those who mistreat you, and then send them healing light or prayers.

Take care of your health and your home. And then help someone in need.

Glass houses, folks.... None of us are perfect. Keep working on YOU.

This doesn't mean roll over and let injustice flourish. It means, allow anger to be a positive catalyst, not a damaging one.

We change it all, one person at a time, by doing the work on ourselves first and operating with integrity, love, and compassion.

❤️

Every health issue you have comes down to paying attention to the process. We are here to learn. If you refuse to accept that truth, life is going to feel extra difficult. And repetitive.

"What do you heal?"

"What do you help with?"

"What do you DO?"

Okay, simmer down folks.

Personally, when I get targeted by an ad or post & get curious, the first thing I'm doing is scrolling through the feed. If that doesn't answer my questions, I'll go to that link in their bio.

That said, I certainly don't mind interacting and answering questions if they're truly coming from a place of curiosity and earnestness.

However, some folks seem to just want to chat or troll, and will gladly eat away at your day if you allow it.

I've got to protect my time and my peace, because as a born helper, I'll engage with someone for hours, even over days, letting them tell their story or pick my brain.

Do you have your doctor's cell number or engage with your provider on a random back-and-forth unpaid session to get answers?

No. You make an appointment. You usually wait longer than you want to be seen. And you're usually seen for far less time than you wanted.

Why would it be ok to engage with a service provider of any sort beyond what is necessary to ascertain if you want to hire them?

If you've been hitting up practitioners you haven't paid with questions & advice, they've been really kind by responding with anything more than a payment link.

The thing is, I provide a valuable service, and it does involve getting to know people on a deeper level...Something most doctors or functional medicine practitioners don't have the time or inclination to do.

But, that's part of what is involved when you contract with me.

I'll give you my genuine attention, dig through the deepest layers (over time), & figure out what areas of your life, body, environment, behavior, habits, emotional patterns, and limiting beliefs could use some tweaking.

Yes, all of that.

Maybe you only need guidance in one area, though.

The process is intuitive and empathetic.

I actually care.

HTMA is not necessary, but can be REALLY helpful.

It's a physical anchor for a holistic revamping.

Reiki energy healing is always part of what I do. We don't need to be in the same room physically--Time, matter, & space are literally transcended.

I hope that clears things up!

I recommend following this page, Ghost Surgeries, for an education on how the medical system can totally dupe you if you are uninformed and don't ask the right question or do all the digging. This family went through horrors at Mayo clinic when they found out their surgeon was never really their surgeon...

Requesting records SHOULDN’T require a course in high school or college, be we learned the hard way that current set ups don’t always enable access without it.

We’re working to change things and are here for you until those changes are made.

The next few days, we’ll be giving tips for requesting records. This will not only help all of you, but give Mayo, Minnesota and our Federal Government some time to work together with us off their back!

Please check out this MILLION DOLLAR poster I just made and SHARE IT! How I wish I had known this, so very long ago.

P.S. We heard from Mayo today about Jack's records being stored out of the country. They have put in writing his records have not been stored out of the country and that there is no plan for them to be. I'll have to follow up with them regarding a word change, as "stored" is different from "accessible." I asked about storage, not accessibility. My fault there. I'll follow up when I hear back with their answer.

SEMANTICS.

I'm telling you, so many things come down to semantics. It's been a hard lesson to learn.

Plenty more tips to come on requesting records over the next few days or so! Stay tuned! XO, The Steiger's
