Wellness Uprising WU

Since moving back to LA from NYC, I have found myself more open to alternative health options. I am a pretty spiritual and open-​minded person (I see a spiritual adviser who guides me on my journey and reads my chakra giving me meditations to practice to achieve balance). I did some research and decided to see a reiki specialist to help balance my energy and chakra and help me get in tune mind, body and soul. Again, coming from someone who is open-​minded, collects and meditates with crystals and has a spiritual adviser — my session at Wellness Uprising was a little too left field — even for me. The reiki specialist was very kind and had soothing energy — she was great — but my overall experience left my pockets lighter and not much else.
You lay on a bed while soothing music is played and a pendulum swung above your forehead down to your toes. The specialist then tells you which of your chakra are low and she meditates over you for about 15 – 20 mins. During this time, she explains your stomach may garggle (I ate fast food on my way there so mine was definitely rumbling lol), you may salivate more than usual (this tends to happen when I lay on my back, naturally) and your third eye may tingle (mine actually did tingle). The experience was just odd for me and I didn’t feel any different since seeing her. This clearly wasn’t for me. Sharing my experience so Unilocalers go in with realistic expectations. I really felt like all I did was come in for a 20 min aroma therapy nap. But I will say everyone I met in the waiting room really felt lighter and more positive after seeing her. They were repeat patience who see her regularly so it works for some people!
I also asked what qualifies one to become a reiki specialist, and apparently, you can get certified down in the South Bay after a few classes. I don’t know why I was expecting this to be a secret passed down through generations of spiritual healers. I will be taking a pause on any further reiki experimentation.

I was referred to Rhonda from Wellness Uprising by my good friend Lily. I heard a lot about Reiki and I wanted a to try a session. Rhonda is one of the most caring therapist I have met in a long time.
When I got to the Wellness Uprising center I was great with Rhonda’s beautiful peaceful energy. She listened to my needs and it was one of the best healing sessions I have experience.
Before I went in to see Rhonda I was anxious, tired, no energy. After I left Rhonda’s office I was calm, peaceful and had a new appreciation for life.
Thank you Rhonda and I look forward to more Reiki session with you!!!

I continue to receive both reiki & chakra balancing services from Rhonda. She is absolutely amazing! She’s attentive with such a calming aura to her. I always leave feeling relaxed & refreshed. Thank you!!!

Amazing. I had an incredible experience here. Went in for Reiki treatment. Rhonda was genuine, kind hearted and an absolute gifted healer. I was honored to meet her. I left feeling like a whole new being. I felt cleared and focused when I left. God bless her. I would highly recommend her treatments.

I’ve been intrigued with the concept of chakra balancing for a while, so when I saw the online deal for this I jumped on it. It was a session of reiki and chakra balancing. To be honest, i walked out of there thinking it was a bunch of hooey. While I felt the warmth of hands hovering over me, I attributed that to just the heat of her hands. The hand motions ostensibly extracting the bad energy from various points of my body seemed silly and contrived. When I left the session, I felt somewhat relaxed, but then I was lying on a heated bed with my eyes mostly closed for about 30 minutes. Wouldn’t you be relaxed after that? What happened later was interesting. I was very tired that night, almost as though I had a cocktail or two. I did not have any cocktails. I slept very soundly that night. Unfortunately I woke up in the morning with symptoms thinking I may be coming down with a cold — swollen glands, headachy. Makes me wonder if this did in fact release energy that brought this to the surface.

I recently attended a pendulum class with my friend and found it to be an enlightening experience. We felt the environment was comfortable and learned a lot and this has sparked an interest into learning more about this and Reiki. I would definitely recommend going and learning more about this for yourself.

I had a very limited knowledge of Reiki prior to meeting Rhonda. Now, I’m a huge advocate of Reiki and the happiest client Rhonda’s ever had. She has gifted hands, an incredible spirit, and a masterful teacher. I’m a fan!!!

I received a chakra healing. My first time getting a healing. Immediately I was at ease with Rhonda. She has a warm and kind personality so that helped a great deal. The Lucy Florence facility is beautiful and cozy. I’m looking forward to continuous healing sessions with Rhonda, as well as, attending future workshops/​events.

The WU Wellness Loft offers a safe, peaceful and restorative haven in Los Angeles. I feel like a new person after visiting the Loft and stocking up on various spiritual objects such as pendulums, candles and soaps. In addition, Rhonda offers a well-​rounded offering of healing classes aimed at improving the lives of others’ lives including: body, heart, mind and soul.

Both in-​person and distance Reiki and chakra balancing are rewarding. I’ve received distance Reiki from Rhonda and find each session is different depending on what my body needs. I’ve experienced emotional and physical results including deep relaxation, improved energy, accelerated healing, and feeling more focused and at peace. By adding chakra balancing, Rhonda brings another level of healing, targeting specific areas where I might be stuck or holding energy. The best part? Reiki is a redirection of energy, the stuff we’re made of, so I don’t have to compromise my personal religious or spiritual beliefs! My next trip to Los Angeles is sure to include an appointment at the Wellness Loft for a ‘hands-​on’ session with Rhonda! If you haven’t scheduled your session yet, you are missing out on one of L.A.‘s best kept secrets!
