"Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise."
Jeremiah 17:14
Hello, my name is Vicki and I've been experiencing and sharing these sacred frequencies since 2020.
Sound healing techniques have been practiced for thousands of years, from times when the lapping of ocean waves was considered a source of healing to the chanting of Tibetan monks. Our Creator intended perfect health for us, and we can still find that path of healing through Him. Healing sounds surround us - which includes our voices! Speak with love in all you do.
Everything exists via energy. We are pure vibrational energy, and when that energy is afflicted by daily stressors, we are susceptible to illness. Sound Baths are an immersive, meditative experience beginning with helping people relax and let go of stress, anxiety, or other concerns.
This type of therapy has recently gained popularity in western medicine as a result of studies conducted on its therapeutic value and people looking for alternatives to enhance modern medicine.
This is a journey we all take together and alone. Each individual has the natural born ability to recognize and move with the energy our Creator has provided since the beginning of time.
Every atom, molecule, cell, tissue and body system is composed of energy. Each of these resonates at a particular frequency. Everything in life affects our energy and can either throw things out of sync or elevate and create vibrational wellness.
We hope to assist you in restoring balance and moving to a greater sense of being.

APRN, PMHNP-BC
I provide compassionate, client-centered therapy for teens, adults, and older adults seeking support for emotional challenges, life transitions, and personal growth. My goal is to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel accepted, understood, and empowered to explore your thoughts, feelings, and strengths.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and individualized. You are the expert on your life, and I work alongside you as a supportive guide. I utilize evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, and person-centered therapy to help reduce emotional distress, improve coping skills, and foster healthier thoughts and behaviors.
When appropriate and requested, I also integrate expressive modalities and faith-based counseling to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Together, we will focus on developing practical coping strategies, increasing self-awareness, and building resilience to help you navigate challenges and move toward greater emotional wellness.
If you are looking for a therapist who offers compassion, structure, and evidence-based care in a supportive environment, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Deb Barb
Certified Rolfer® and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200),
My journey to becoming a Certified Rolfer® and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) began with practicing martial arts as a child. My teacher always emphasized the importance of form, posture, and balance as the foundations of our practice. Eventually, form, posture, and balance became guiding principles throughout my life -- developing my skills as a college basketball player, balancing work & life responsibilities as a high school science teacher, and eventually deepening my yoga and Rolfing® practices.
In 2016, I earned a scholarship to train as a yoga teacher at The Source Energy Yoga School in Lakewood, Ohio, where I learned to unite body, mind, and breath through yoga. This foundation deepened my understanding of movement and holistic wellness. My personal yoga practice often involves combining Vinyasa and Yin elements, embracing the balance offered between the two. My teaching style is kind, authentic and always open to everyone - I truly believe yoga is for EVERYBODY.
In 2021, during a lengthy & challenging battle with a COVID-19 infection and its debilitating symptoms, I discovered Rolfing®. It became a transformative experience in my own healing. While Rolfing® did not cure me from Long COVID, it made my body feel better, my brain more relaxed, and my recovery more supported. Since completing my Ten Series™ with Advanced Rolfer® Jessica Dillard, I have been free from chronic back pain and migraines, moved my body with increased ease, and found breathing to feel easier and more efficient!
In 2023, I took a leave of absence from teaching high school science to pursue Rolfing® training at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado, with a focus on helping others heal as I had. I spent a year learning and rediscovering myself.
Now back home in Cleveland, just a mile from where I grew up, I’ve proudly created a space where I can share the benefits of both Rolfing® and yoga with my community.
