Happy New Year!!! The wheel has once again turned and a new year with new opportunities awaits us all. This last year brought many changes to Luminessence and I welcome the shifts these changes will allow me in the months ahead.

Whats new? I have decided to downsize my practice in order to focus more on the calling I have heard now for the last year. I have a new location and have joined forces with The Good Therapy Collective. The plan is to still host classes in our new spacious classroom as well as to continue to cross collaborate with the many amazing and talented healers in the Central Valley, I also plan to expand these classes to offer specialised healing retreats in 2022. Mt Shasta is at the top of the list for retreat offerings with intention to expand this to other sacred sights as they call. I still have an abundant crystal inventory with all sorts of healing tools available and as always our library of holistic healing material to share with our guests at our new office located at 2763 E Shaw Avenue directly across from the Save Mart Center.

With the closing of Luminessence Healing and Health Education Center the remaining practitioners have shifted to either opening their own practice or joining forces with other healing collectives. Kim Del Pozo is now offering massage and skin care at Fig Garden Wellness, and Javier Huerta has opened his own massage practice near River Park. I am excited and proud of them for their commitment to their calling. Cai King will be joining me at The Good Therapy Collective and I can’t wait to see what classes she plans to share as I know we are all itching to come back together and share with one another.

Luminessence The Light Within is re- emerging and after learning so much over the last three years I am excited to be moving forward again into this next chapter of collective healing. The word Emanate comes to mind as I write this. Many of the experiences over the last few years have taken us through a whirlwind of change and challenges both personally and collectively. Sometimes hindsight is 2020, pun intended. I am reminded that the light emanating for Source will always guide us through and light the path ahead. Follow the path, listen to its guidance and it will always take you where you seek.

With Love and Light,

Kate Robb

Luminessence The Light Within

We have some exciting changes happening at Luminessence. This month we welcomed a couple of new practitioners to our group. Today, I am very pleased to introduce everyone to Marissa Silvas, the creative force and the magical talent behind Skin From Mars.

I met Marissa a couple of years ago and what first struck me about her was her confidence and grounded energetic presence. She seemed to me much wiser and accomplished than one might imagine for someone her age. I liked her immediately and we stayed in contact over the years. When a position opened up at the office, she called me and the real magic begins there.

I have always been a fan of indulgent self-care, and skincare falls right in line with that model. Since Marissa has joined us I have had the pleasure of seeing her as a client several times for various skincare services and I can honestly say her sessions are “out of this world”.

What strikes me as unique about a treatment by Marissa is the attention placed on all of the subtle extras that make you feel like you are visiting another planet. From the sensory stimulation of her multi-layered custom mask blends, to the lasting skin rejuvenating effects of the HYDRO- dermabrasion therapy your skin will feel amazing and you can expect the very best with Marissa’s personalized care for your skin.

Please join me in welcoming Marissa. Her monthly specials, as well as more information on her service menu can be found via the link on our website.

We hope to see you all soon,

Lots of Love!

Kate

Dear Friends,

Thank you all for your continued support and patience during these challenging times. We are all certainly having to make many adjustments during these shelter in place orders.

Unfortunately, at this time we are still unsure of a reopen date. The Governor announced this week that the phased reopening process has begin. Our company will be part of the 3rd phase that still has no set date.

As we watch and await news for this future reopen date, our team members are in the process of creating an even safer healing space for our clients. We will be looking for ways to implement these new protocols for all future appointments. We will be reaching out again once we know any details on re-opening. We cannot wait to get back to our clients and to our healing work!

At this time we will not be rescheduling any appointments to a later date until we have a solid reopen date. We care deeply about all of you and want to have the best practices in place for your safety and peace of mind as well as ours.

We ask at this time that you continue to be patient with us as we look forward to re-booking your missed appointments as soon as possible.

Many of you have asked how you can support us at this time, please continue to purchase gift certificates from our practitioners, browse and shop our newly listed crystals and merchandise on our website, and if you feel like you need some personal support Diane, Cai and myself are offering appointments for phone sessions and distance energy treatments. If there is anything you need please feel free to reach out to us!

We love and miss you all so much.

Be well, stay-safe and practice gratitude.

Sincerly,

Kate Robb and the collective healers at Luminessence

Hello All,

We are very excited to announce that we are now offering Amethyst ( FIR) Therapy Sessions as a stand alone treatment or as an add on to any of our healing services. Enjoy a 30 minute bio-therapy session in our private healing suite and experience the immediate benefits of this scientifically backed therapeutic treatment.

Book your session ahead of time for the low price of $20.00 or as an add on to any of our therapy session at the discounted price of $10.00. It is recommended that for maintaining optimal health the Amethyst far infrared bio-mat should be used up to three times a week for thirty minute sessions.

What are far infrared rays?

Far infrared rays are part of the electro-magnetic light spectrum and are close to the light frequency of natural sunlight.  However, far infrared does not contain any of sunlight’s harmful UV/UVB radiation. The beneficial properties of far infrared light have received particular attention from the scientific community in recent years, although the first research conducted on this part of the light spectrum was undertaken by NASA decades ago.  Today, health practitioners from a wide range of disciplines agree on the beneficial properties of far infrared technology.

How does amethyst quartz enhance ionic and far infrared ray therapy?

Amethyst’s healing properties have been acknowledged and celebrated for centuries by ancient scientists, healers and others.  Now, modern science has confirmed the highly conductive properties of this remarkable mineral.  Amethyst crystals offer the most consistent and powerful delivery of far infrared light waves, and ionic effects to the human body.

What specific conditions and symptoms can the BioMat treat?

Because the BioMat’s far infrared rays penetrate deeply into the body and promotes our natural state of health and balance, it can be used to treat a wide range of health issues.

US FDA’s Medical Device 510K indications for use:

• Relaxation of muscles,
• Increase of local circulation where applied

Temporary relief of:

• Minor muscle pain
• Minor joint pain and stiffness
• Joint pain associated with arthritis
• Muscle spasms
• Minor sprains
• Minor strains
• Minor muscular back pain

Other benefits found from the BioMat:

• Reduces stress and fatigue
• Soothes and relaxes
• Supports the immune system
• Improved sleep (if associated with pain relief)
• Reduced inflammation (where applied)
• Promotes relaxation by application of heat
• Promotes restful sleep for those with occasional sleeplessness

Hello All,

Welcome April and a beautiful start to Spring!

Lots of exciting changes are happening at Luminessence! We are very pleased to now be offering Meditative Yoga every Wednesday from 4:30-5:30 hosted by Lisa Williams of Perfect Balance Yoga. This class is a wonderful mid-week reset for the body, mind and spirit. The meditations Lisa incorporates into the class are profound and inspiring. You can RSVP for these weekly via our Meet-Up link on our web page. The class is $10.00 with a reservation or $15.00 for “day of” drop ins.

On Monday, April 8th Diane Enderson is holding a class for those wanting to learn more about working with their personal energy. These classes are always popular and Diane covers a range of topics regarding energy each month. The fee for this class is $20.00, no RSVP needed.

Thursday, April 11th at 5:30 we have class #3 in our Chakra Series which will focus on the Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras! Perfect timing with April’s energy influences! This series is taught by Karuna Reiki Master Cai King and you can RSVP via the Meet- Up link on our website, as space is limited.

**Coming soon** We will soon be offering Crystal Bowl Sound Healing sessions in our brand new Sound Treatment room!!! Sessions will be customized and unique with options such as crystal layouts and light therapy available as well. We are very excited about this new addition to our service menu!! More information to follow.

As far as the energetic influence for April 2019: We have a New Moon in the beginning of April, the energy of this Fire Moon is going to bring challenges around the dynamics of family, partnerships and our jobs.

One of the reasons these energy fluctuations are brewing is because we also have Venus conjunct Neptune, which calls to us as individuals to remember the importance of personal care. Aries rules the Solar Plexus and our natural instincts surrounding trust. The conjunction of Venus and Neptune calls forward the maintaining of healthy personal boundaries and sticking to them! Trusting yourself to know what is the greatest good for you and for your physical and mental health!

We also have another influence this month which is Mars in the constellation of Gemini, my personal sign. This meeting of energies is all about talking and networking, a call to share with others our passions and truths. This is a great time to allow yourself to have those difficult conversations that you might normally avoid. Remember, when you trust yourself and honor your true feelings, soulful growth can occur. Personal growth and expansion of consciousness is the theme for April. Go ahead and stand up for yourself and the things you have been waiting to say!

That all being said, I have included a video below on the dangers of 5G cell towers being introduced into our communities. EMF pollution and the damage it does to all living things is something that I am passionate about and hope to educate others in hopes that a unified voice might inspire change! I have also included a link to the site where you can sign a petition against the introduction of 5G on a global scale.

https://www.5gspaceappeal.org/the-appeal

If you would like to sign the petition and see additional information regarding 5G, PLEASE USE THE LINK ABOVE

Thank you so much for tuning in!

Remember, Let YOUR Light Shine : )

With Love,

Kate

This evening under a crisp night sky the moon moves into perigee, its closest position to the Earth, for a second time this year!
This full moon is at zero degrees of Virgo and represents a time of deeper awakening.
For many, we may feel hit by a sudden awareness, a spotlight of energy focused on helping us to feel aspects of our inner-knowing, previously easy to ignore.

https://www.collective-evolution.com/2019/02/18/supermoon-in-virgo-balancing-practical-matters-with-idealism

This Lunar cycle is occurring on a Virgo/Pisces axis, reminding us to honor the fragile balance between light and dark forces. During this time many are experiencing the illumination of vast aspects of our multidimensional souls.

Symbolically Pisces is represented by two fish swimming opposite one another, a reminder of the ever changing interplay that light and dark forces have upon one another. This time brings forward an awaking of awareness, and it is during such times many feel they are in a crisis of consciousness.

With the full moon shining on the water element of Pisces, we are called to reflect on the trails and tribulations that have carried us this far. We are also reminded to honor and celebrate our hard work and perseverance that brought us here; to where were are today. At the same time, Virgo’s influence begs us to find a way to blend our day-to-day routines with our ever-present spiritual needs and nature. Physical health issues may come to light at this time. The disharmony of the moment vs. our knowing of our infinite-self is an aspect to focus on during this full moon.

February’s full moon is also know as the “wolf moon” or the” full hunger” moon. It’s energy reflects on the surface of waters that hold the darkest depths of our souls.

It is in these depths that lie our deepest hidden fears and buried emotions. It is upon these same waters that this moon shines it’s light, bringing old hindrances forward and self-imposed limitations to the surface.

We are ready to move forward unburdened. Lifting these heavy feelings and thoughts into the healing light of the moon. Lifting these limitations allows us to move forward to a clearer, brighter, more balanced future.

Are there things that have constantly held you back in the past? Limitations of self that you have believed were a life sentence? Energy of lack that has held you back from being all that you were always destined to become? The time is ripe to change these old patterns and to move into a more balanced consciousness here on Earth.

Many are feeling an aspect of: Do It Now, time is running out. It is an eyes-wide-open sense, where we will be receiving strong messages of intuition. These feelings are being called to the surface after a period earlier this year where we felt stuck or constantly boxed into frustrating situations.

This “illumination” is showing us any imbalances between work and service, criticism and acceptance. The vast shades of grey in an ever-diminishing right-or-wrong collective.

It is time to express yourself! Stand up proud. Be you! Open your eyes wide to the world around you. Release old fears and trappings of the heart. Swim freely. Float through the hard times knowing that the way is here to carry you. To support you. Trust that the path will find those who are ready.

With Love and Light,

Kate Robb
