Everything including the food we eat, not sleeping well, job and/or home stress damages the body. Yes, simpling living and breathing everyday will do it. Massage is a way of reminding the body to be healthy. Given a chance and a helpful nudge, the body will heal.

Renee Randall, Certified Energy Medicine and Feng Shui Practitioner

Universal LifeLite - Illuminate Yours

Human Beings get so caught up in the day to day craziness of obtaining the material things we think we need to have, that we easily lose sight of who we truly are.  We are all walking our individual journeys during our life times and our journeys take us through many transitional periods.  It is during these transitions that we look to each other for support.  There are many ways to reconnect to our core essences.  On my current path of transformation, I have found a multitude of sources helpful in reconnecting to myself and getting back to who I started out as in this world.  This has given me a sense of peace and tranquility allowing me to once again laugh, enjoy my family and to ‘live’ my ‘life’, not simply ‘exist’.  

We all have our own unique inner light and I would like to help you illuminate yours.

 Uncover the mysteries of the energies impacting our lives.  I offer services that help give us an understanding of the energy of our body, mind and spirit, the energy of our space, and the energy of time and the universe.
