Within our walls are several techniques provided by wonderful, heart centered, compassionate facilitators.

Please meet Michelle, Jess, and Laura.

"Teachers are those who use themselves as bridges,
over which they invite their students to cross; then
having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse,
encouraging them to create bridges of their own."

-- Nikos Kazantzakis

Jess Steinman
Intuitive Tarot Reader & Teacher, Psychic Medium, Integrated Energy TherapyÒ Master Instructor, and Reiki Practitioner. 

Originally a skeptic of this work herself, Jess spent her early years, and into college, studying both instrumental and vocal music.   After having what Jess terms as her “Quarter Life Crisis” in 2002, she was introduced to psychics, mediums, and spiritual and energy healing, and as she jokingly says now, “I’m never going back!”

Jess has been reading Tarot cards since April, 2004.  She developed and defined her gifts through the careful guidance of Keri-Ann (Kyra) Ranney of Easthampton, MA.  Jess' reading style is unique, in that she does not use the traditional Celtic cross spread in her readings.  Instead she uses a spread which was taught to her by a friend and then adapted.  The standard deck she uses during her readings is Vision Quest Tarot, a deck rich in Native-American-themed imagery.  However, Jess also is known to use more than one deck during her readings, including Doreen Virtue’s “Healing with the Angels” and “Saints and Angels” Oracle Decks, Brian Weiss’ “Healing the Mind and Spirit” Cards, and Patti Sinclair’s “Within Reach” Mediumship Cards.

In addition to her training in Tarot, Jess has had the opportunity to work with nationally-known psychic medium and author Suzane Northrop, as well as participate in workshops and seminars with two other nationally-known psychic mediums and authors, John Holland and Patti Sinclair.  Jess will often receive messages from energies on the Other Side during her Tarot sessions, and has been offering Mediumship readings since November, 2006.

Jess is also a Master-Instructor of Integrated Energy TherapyÒ; her teachers are Michelle McCarthy of the Heart to Heart Healing Connection in West Springfield, MA, and Stevan J. Thayer of the Center of Being in Woodstock, NY.  Jess also received training in first and second levels of Gentle and Healing Reiki from Shirley Lim of Stamford, CT, and Michelle McCarthy.

The majority of Jess’ healing work takes place at The Heart to Heart Healing Connection in West Springfield, MA, but she may also be seen from time to time at The Purple Rose in Canton, CT.  In addition to her work at Heart to Heart and The Purple Rose, Jess teaches a one-day Intuitive Training, a four-session Intuitive Tarot class at Asnuntuck Community College in Enfield, CT, and classes in Integrated Energy TherapyÒ

From experiencing readings by many different psychics, intuitives and mediums, she has come to believe that readings can be a loving, healing experience . . . often leading to growth and acceptance of our true selves and our situations.  If you've never been read before, having a reading (or energy healing session) with Jess is a wonderful opportunity and a very safe place to start.  If it has been a while since your last reading or energy healing session, Jess invites you to join her and reconnect with your spirit.  You will find that whether it is a reading, class, or hands-on energy work, Jess has a passion for assisting others in their self-healing process and enjoys teaching them how to self-heal through Mediumship, Tarot, Integrated Energy TherapyÒ, and Reiki!

Laura Franko,
Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Reflexologist, Reiki Master/Teacher

 
       My name is Laura Franko and I am a nationally certified licensed massage therapist, certified reflexologist (feet) and Reiki Master/Teacher. I have been drawn to the healing arts my entire life. While I also embrace western medicine, I am a firm supporter of many alternative therapies and the mind, body, spirit connection.

      I was introduced to massage in 1994 by a co-worker who referred me to her trusted therapist. Due to chronic muscular tension in my back, I could barely get out of bed some mornings. Other treatment options failed me, but with the help of massage, I recovered within weeks. This was a significant event in my life and started me on a journey of self-care and self-healing.

      I am a graduate of the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy and specialize in Swedish and deep tissue massage, hot stone massage and reflexology of the feet. My practice blends these techniques with acupressure/energy work, including Reiki and IET. I was first drawn to Reiki in 1995 and have since studied under both traditional and non-traditional Usui and Shamballa masters. My journey then led me to study hypnosis, which I use as a tool to access the subconscious mind to reduce stress and make positive life changes. I continue to study and learn.

      I believe that self-care is critical in a hectic and unpredictable world. By reducing our stress levels, we can hear our inner voice, maintain balance and experience optimal health. I am available for massage, reflexology or Reiki appointments at The Heart to Heart Healing Connection. I look forward to working with you.
