A New Path Emerges-

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

Specialty Skincare Services now offered at Luminessence.

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

We are still here, and we miss you all.

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

While we wait…

We miss the in-person community at Luminessence! We send all of you wishes for peace & harmony until such time as we are allowed to re-open the office and we are able to connect together in our healing space. We will keep you updated as we learn more about the directives for resuming business.

In the meantime, here’s a meditation resource for you

If you’re feeling bombarded by the ‘this is/that is’ noise coming at us from every direction, I’m sharing a quick meditation you can download at my site, Hummingbird Alchemy. It works to open & balance the throat chakra and it’s been getting great reviews. The photo or caption link will take you there. Let me know how it works for you.

But wait! 💎 There’s more!

Kate is cooking up some new crystal options, so stay tuned to this space for her reveal in the very near future! 💎💎💎

And both Kate & I are still available for on-line or phone distance healing sessions.

Blessings!

Ta-dah! a Daffodil

Every year I text my mother a photo of my first sighting of her favorite flower – the daffodil. This year I caught a glimpse one week before Mr. Groundhog was even headed to his doorway. It might not seem such a big deal to those of us in California, but to someone like my mom who lives in the far northern reaches of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula it’s a tantalizing treat, a movie-trailer for May’s coming attractions in her own back yard.

There’s something spontaneous and magical about daffodils as they stand in simple yet elegant confidence that reminds me of our Solar Plexus chakra. Sitting right there at the base of our ribs, it’s the center of our self-confidence.  Like the sunny yellow daffodil, the Solar Plexus is our personal calling card, trumpeting self-assurance and willpower into the world. It calls out,

Move aside winter, I’ve got something to show you. Hear what I have to say!”

How many of us are able to stand comfortably in our body, radiating a surety and optimism that is our birthright? Do you feel it? Maybe responsibility, illness, grief, or worry have weighed you down and dimmed your splendor and you want to feel that buoyancy again.

Radiate your light.

If you feel like it’s time for a reset, we have all types of practitioners at Luminessence that are here to help.

Does your skin glow with confidence? Mary Farrior of Fresno Skin Care has recently added her talents to Luminessence.

Help your body radiate strength and health with one of the many massage therapies from the talented Javier Huerta, Elle Jacinto, Cathy Lizardo, or Page Peters.

Does it feel like your willpower is clouded by an old emotional pattern? Contact Diane Enderson, Cai King, or Kate Robb to begin to shift that stale energy and find your resilience.

Perhaps you want to take a deeper look at the connection of confidence and your soul’s purpose through an astrology reading with Alexandra, another new face at Luminessence.

Looking for insight? Check our calendar or Meetup app for scheduled classes on a variety of topics.

We have a service that will help you stand true and confident.

And in the meantime…

Here’s a yoga asana that will connect you to your Solar Plexus and Heart energy centers:

Tadasana

Stand with feet hip-width apart. Toes pointed forward and knees soft, not locked. Activate your feet by grounding your heels and lift your toes off the floor to wiggle them briefly. Now stand on your toes, lifting your heels off the ground. Next, with feet flat on the ground, roll your feet to the outside edges, then, bring your knees together as you roll to the inside edges of your feet.

With your feet activated and flat on the floor, imagine roots flowing down from the soles of your feet and pull light up those roots, through your feet and legs as you scrunch your shoulders towards your ears. As you drop your shoulders and roll them back your hands will naturally open to the front, lifting your heart and bringing your Solar Plexus forward into the present. “Ta-dah!sana here I am!” as my friend @yoga_sista likes to say.

Share your Ta-dah! with us in the comments.

Thanks for spending a moment with me looking at things from ground level,

Say “yes” to…

During a talk about gaining financial control of your life, I once heard author and financial advisor Suze Orman ask, “Are you saying ‘yes’ out of fear, or ‘no’ out of love?” Suddenly, for me, the chaotic drama of interpersonal relationships coalesced into a self-awareness of why I answered “yes” when I really, really heard and felt the “no” screaming throughout every part of me. Why wasn’t I saying “yes” to myself? Sure it made sense when I got angry, I had been used, or at least caught unawares, right? They should have known better than to take advantage of me like that!

No, I should have known better and over the years I have gotten better about defining myself and my needs. I continue to learn what makes for healthy personal boundaries and how best to maintain them. It’s a journey and it starts with saying “yes” to yourself.

Learn more about Personal Boundaries

Join me at Luminessence Saturday, October 5th from 10 am – 1 pm for Personal Boundaries: Identifying & Maintaining. We will use discussion and interactive techniques to learn to identify and maintain healthy physical, emotional, and energetic boundaries. Empower yourself!

Cost of class is $60. Register and secure your spot right here. Seats are limited!

Healthy boundaries protect your core beauty.

Hope to see you Saturday!

Blessings!
