TESTIMONIALS: CHAKRA PSYCHOLOGY TRAINING: “I recently completed Esther’s Chakra psychology class and found it very beneficial, both personally and professionally. As a therapist, I am always looking to expand my knowledge through holistic approaches in supporting others on their journeys. Esther is such a skilled, knowledgeable, passionate teacher and was able to explain Chakra psychology as well as other theories/philosophies in a way that is both accessible and meaningful. Thank-you Esther for all you offer to others!” -Tanya W. ***** “I signed up for the Chakra Psychology series with Esther as I have been increasingly more fascinated with the integration of mind, body and spirit. I wanted to gain a better understanding of these energy centers within us. Esther is such a kind and bright light; she has a genuine passion to share this knowledge with others. I am so glad that I signed up – I was sad when the seven days was over! I am now even more determined to continue learning and deepening my own understanding as it all makes so much sense. I highly recommend this series for anyone who is even just a little bit curious and open to gain some fundamental knowledge. I would give this 10 stars out of 5!” -Cathy G. ***** YOGA & MEDITATION: “Esther truly is ‘one of a kind’ when it comes to teaching and guiding yoga. She has reinvigorated my passion for yoga, and if you haven’t gone to one of her classes, you must! Esther has a way of teaching that properly combines the mind, body, and soul, so that the entire body benifits from her practice. Her way of teaching will have you going inward and properly reconnecting back with yourself, which is something that I find has been lacking in lots of the different styles that are out there today. Thankyou Esther, for teaching in such a uniquely transformative and healing way!” -Lisa A. ***** “BY FAR THE BEST Yoga class I have ever gone to! My favorite part was Esther’s guided meditation at the end of the class! I normally find it super challenging to Meditate, but Esther’s voice and channeled intuitive Meditations are rare and something everyone should experience at least once! I’m also fairly new to Yoga, and I loved how Esther’s class has an easy and strengthening flow, it was easy to follow, and my hips and back felt amazing after! Thank you Esther! I will continue to come to your classes!” -Erika J. ***** ENERGY HEALING & SPIRITUAL COACHING: “I am immensely grateful for the transformative journey I’ve experienced under the guidance of Esther Hamar, my Reiki Healer and Spiritual Coach. When I first sought her support, I was broken and disheartened by life’s challenges. With her unwavering kindness and insightful guidance, she helped me rediscover my inner strength and provided the tools to realign and channel the energy within me. Through her holistic approach, I’ve emerged with newfound confidence and a renewed sense of purpose. Her profound impact has been nothing short of life-changing, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking positive transformation and a fresh perspective on life. Thank you for being a beacon of light on my journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. I truly am grateful Esther!” – Nicholas S. ***** “Over the last few months I have been seeing Esther for an energy healing and massage. My life has improved in so many different ways that I can not thank her enough. I used to suffer from a lot of anxiety, and worry, and had basically no drive left in me. I tried everything from counseling, support groups, to prescription medication. Now I wish I tried energy therapy to begin with because I don’t even recognize the “older me” Thankyou Esther!!” -Marilyn M. ***** “When I first realized that I wanted to see Esther, I was so depressed that I felt I had no affect…no happiness or joy, only apathy or anger. My situation was so oppressive, both personally and professionally and she helped me realize my self worth. I had forgotten these things. The situation I was in was leaching all my energy and leaving me a shell of my former self…angry, depressed and hopeless. I knew I could turn this around if only I could find the right solution. I had tried the antidepressant drugs and knew they were not an option for me as I prefer a more natural method, and this is when I thought of Esther. We have known each other for some years, but never in this capacity. I had seen her on Instagram talking about her methods, and from what I knew of her, I felt she would be fabulous…her true calling! I am so glad that I reached out to her! After the first visit, I felt a glimmer of hope again and it spurred me onto more treatments. Esther listened to my concerns, never judgmental, always caring and concerned and went to work with her healing energy. Within the next two visits, I was starting to feel like my old self again…my authentic self! I gained back the spirit and confidence to escape from those situations that were oppressive to me. Esther’s beautiful presence, light and energy are absolutely transforming as she helps you find your own light and worth. I continue to work with Esther as it keeps me balanced and positive. Thank you so much Esther! You are truly a gift!” – Laura K. *****
