Teresa Richardson “Find joy in everything you choose to do.”
For a good part of my life I worked in the Graphic Arts field. But when my husband passed away many years ago, I took a good look at my life, decided to change gears and follow a path that would give me a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. I left my job, went back to school, and became a licensed massage therapist. I have been practicing in this field for just under a decade now, and the thing I like most about it is I get to help people reduce the strain and stress in their bodies and mind.I have a true passion for my chosen career. For me, a great reward is a returning client because a returning client translates into a satisfied customer. To ensure satisfaction, I take great care in listening to my clients and customizing sessions that focus on their particular needs.I have worn many hats in my life and each experience has played a part in the person I have become. I am a positive person who believes good energy begets more good energy. I am a person who is passionate and compassionate. I am a person who desires knowledge and who strives to continually educate herself. The more I learn, the better I become at helping people reduce the tension and strain in their lives.

Kim McDuffee Dotson: “May there be Peace on Earth and may it begin with me”
In my practice, I listen carefully to each and every client I work with and tailor my services to meet each individual need. My specialties include the reduction of stress and sleep issues, the increase of relaxation, and the development of personal rituals to improve quality of life for young children through adolescence, pets, and adults of all ages. I believe in the power of positivity, the medicine of laughter, and the necessity of unconditional love to overcome the unique challenges we each may face. My call to Reiki came when my daughter was born with a birth injury in 2001. She had trouble eating and sleeping because she was in such discomfort. I learned Reiki as an alternative and in addition to the traditional medical treatments she received. She recovered from her injury in record time which I believe was the result of the combined efforts of those traditional and alternative healing treatments. My path to Reiki Master Teacher took another 5 years to develop and during that time I learned to incorporate my experience with the healing properties of crystals, oils, and teas as well as meditation, and ritual.
