Join the Riverside Studio Crystal Farmacy- Wake the Light - VIP group this evening at 7 for a LIVE event. 👇👇👇

Our Aries Full Moon is rising and will peak this evening around 7:45 CST.

This moon is bringing some super big energy, encouraging us to step into a new version of ourselves, unmasked, and authentic AF.

If you have been hiding away or nervous to morph into a better, more confident, purposeful, truthful version of yourself, now is the time to step into it.

Aries is a fire sign so use this full moon to let go of old ways by writing them down, confronting them on paper, burning the paper and watching it go up in flames physically and emotionally. Have confidence that you will be fully supported as you move forward.

Aries equals "I am" and our sun in the sign of Libra is all about "we are". Question your identity within your relationships, community and globally. Shoot for radical authenticity whenever and however you show up in the world.

Below shows the best stones to support you during these intense, unfolding and shifting energies. Take care of your body, mind, and spirit in the most nourishing ways so you are carried through with confidence and ease.

If you want to know more, join me, JessieV, in our monthly Wake the Light LIVE in the Riverside Studio Crystal Farmacy- Wake the Light - VIP group. If you aren't currently a group member, request to get in and watch the live at 7pm this evening. The topic, besides Full Moon info, will be about Embracing the Shadow Self.

Happy Full Moon...the best "as above, so below" celestial to work with.

Stinging nettle is a power-house plant that offers numerous health benefits. With a rich history in traditional use, stinging nettle has been revered for its potent anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and pain-relieving properties. It benefits skin, urinary health, works as a blood purifier and iron balancer, reduces acne, and is wonderful for balancing hormones, especially in women. Furthermore, it is an excellent source of essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as several B vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. However, by harnessing its naturally potent antihistamine properties, stinging nettle presents a most promising ”GO-TO” for ALLERGY RELIEF, providing a natural and empowering way to take control of seasonal allergy symptoms.

Tis’ the season 🍂 🎃 🦠

She's been with us for a bit, but her services are now more accessible. Please welcome, McKenzie!

McKenzie Nicewander is a board certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), rune reader, and rune
artist. McKenzie owns and operates two businesses, Music Wellness with McKenzie and
WitchRunes. Music Wellness with McKenzie is her music therapy practice which aims to foster
mind, body, emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal connection through music. Offering these
services in a group format, McKenzie pulls in elements of music including live music,
songwriting, music making, and active music listening to create an experience of inclusivity,
success, and connection. WitchRunes is McKenzie’s spiritually focused business which utilizes
the Norse Elder Futhark Runes to help individuals grow and feel empowered in their personal
spiritual journeys. As part of this, McKenzie creates and sells handmade, energetically charged
rune artwork, jewelry, and rune sets. She also offers rune readings and rune classes as part of
her mission of spiritual self empowerment.

McKenzie feels that both her music therapy practice and her rune work are integral parts of who
she is as a healer. When doing a rune reading, she will often bring in her understanding of
mental health and human behavior to create a full bodied reading experience. When leading a
music wellness group, she will often tie in the experiences of connection to one’s spirituality and
spiritual journey. Overall, it is McKenzie’s goal to help everyone that she works with forge their
own path towards mental and spiritual wellness and healing.

Another fantastic addition to the collective...Dr. Annette!

Dr. Annette Vielleux is a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience specializing in trauma and dissociative disorders. Known for her grounded presence and deep compassion, she brings a rare blend of clinical expertise and intuitive insight to her work. After many years of guiding clients through traditional therapy, Annette felt called to offer a deeper, more soul-centered approach to healing — one that honors both the psyche and the spirit.

Her own Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) session as a client was a life-changing experience that catalyzed her decision to leave her full-time agency job and move boldly into private practice. Inspired by that journey — and the work of Dolores Cannon and Michael Newton — she now offers Sacred Soul Journeys as a path for others to experience their own soul-level healing and clarity.

Annette lives nearby with her husband and four children and feels most at peace walking in the woods or working in her garden. She is honored to join the healing community at Riverside Studio and looks forward to supporting others in their journey toward inner clarity and soul remembrance.
