Jamaica is a Certified Bikram Yoga Instructor and has a keen sense of connecting with whomever she interacts and aids them in their spiritual development. Jamaica started her Spiritual Journey early on as a child and immediately recognized her empathic abilities and life’s purpose. A lifelong dream of Jamaica is to open up a Healing and Wellness Center that will reach out and help all types of people that are keenly interested in Health, Wellness, and Spiritual Evolution. Both Len and Jamaica went to the same high school in Southern Ohio. After graduation, they both went their separate ways with Len enlisting in the Air Force but, not by coincidence, met up again at their 30 year High School reunion. As Len pursued his career in the Technology Industry, he recognized that there was something missing and that there was a part of him spiritually that was untouched or recognized. Upon making himself aware of this gap, Len embarked on a 15 year journey of Spiritual Development and Knowledge. Len became aware of his innate ability to harness Energy from the Universe and with this ability; he pursued his certification as a Reiki Master. He has been a Reiki Master for over six years. He also wanted to know the scientific reasons behind this Universal Energy, so he completed several courses on Quantum Entanglement and Neurosciences.

Massage Therapist & Sound Therapist
Cat McPhaul
Chakra Healing & Alignment
After years of my own personal struggles, successes, and development, I began to see my higher purpose as a healer. While working as a Professional Model, I began to hear an even higher calling to my healing practice. In 2015, I was licensed as a Massage Therapist, knowing that the incredible healing energy was focused and emitting from my hands. This marriage of sound and energy healing my massages soon began to work its magic through me to others. I’ve began to input my love for meditation and desire to help others to a higher standard. This is who I am, and this is what I love, hands on healing at all times. As I journey through healing, I invite and greet those who are on the path.
Cat graduated from the Institute for Integrated Healing with a Certification in Chakra Healing in July of 2021. After a transformative experience in Tobago where she had the opportunity to peek into the world of alternative healing, this path was the catalyst for her own healing after a season of loss. While learning about chakras and healing, she began to realize that the Uncreated One gifted her with healing energy/touch and she was empowered to use it. In your sessions, her goal is to help you identify events throughout your life that impacted your internal & external world experiences. You’ll lay on a massage table (clothed) as she examines your chakras a few inches above your body. Healing energy is then transmitted to you into the areas which might have been affected. Come join her on your journey towards alignment. “Stay aligned, my friends.”
