Testimonials

"I have known Alissa Schwartz for almost 16 years. She is one of the most caring and empathetic therapists I’ve ever known and I’ve been to a few. She has taught me how to treat myself with kindness after suffering many many years of abuse. The center offers many opportunities for us to attain that true sense of self and who we are by offering many types of classes, such as meditation, massage therapy, Reiki sessions, and I have utilized them all. I highly recommend the holistic center for healing if you seek clarity and want to be the best version of yourself."
-Laura M.
"The Holistic Center for Soulful Living has been an important part of my life for the past 10 years. I have participated in both individual and couples therapy and attended several workshops over the years. The therapists and instructors are professional and compassionate. While the experiences have been different, what has been the same is that they all made me feel understood, supported and empowered. I would not be the person I am today without their guidance."
-S.S.

He is compassionate, intuitive and truly cares about all of his clients! The Holistic Center is a beautiful, welcoming space to practice meditation and yoga!"
-Jamie B.
"Over the past five months I have been meeting with Rhea biweekly. She is always attentive, empathetic, and understanding while also offering valuable advice with coping tools. The relaxed environment she creates sets the mood for successful sessions every time. There have been measurable changes over the past five months under Rheas therapeutical care."
-Anthony B.
"I have been meeting with Rosemary at the Holistic Center for Soulful Living for several years. From the first time I entered the center, I felt a warm and welcoming feeling of peace and tranquility. It has become a sanctuary to me ever since. Rosemary has a beautiful spirit, filled with positive energy and a special gift of connecting with people in a gentle and caring manner. Her wisdom and compassion have helped me navigate some of the most challenging times of my life. With her support and guidance, I learned how to overcome many of the fears that have kept me stuck over the years. She has shared invaluable techniques and tools to help me approach relationships and daily life challenges from a place of awareness and acceptance. Rosemary continues to remind me of the importance of self-love, mindfulness, and curiosity. She has helped me realize the many gifts that come from daily practice and perseverance of inner work. Through working with Rosemary, I have gained a sense of confidence, wisdom and enlightenment that allows me to navigate my life in a more healthy and positive way. Rosemary is truly a lightworker. Working with her has been a life- changing experience for me. I am incredibly blessed and grateful for her presence in my life."

"For many years, I have attended a myriad of the modalities Steve Interrante offers … from sound healing to private relationship sessions to group and private past life soul regression. There is even more he also offers that I have yet to explore. Steve is so very uplifting, grounding, comforting, and reassuring. He is a true devotee to his life’s work. Steve is present and available all year round without hiatus. He has been very instrumental to my path of self-mastery, growth, and healing. I have brought many friends to his events, and they are now part of his tribe and love him like I do! Thank you, Steve and to the Holistic Center for the support for us all in the beautiful center and for your services. 🙏🏻 Flow towards Steve. ~~"
-Charlyn P.
"I have been a client at the holistic center for about four years after having to find a new therapist. I was highly recommended to the center by multiple people because of their multifunctioning space. The process of being matched with a therapist that is a good fit was super easy and shows how much they care. On top of therapy, they offer many classes like meditation, yoga and more. The center is a relaxing safe space to help you learn and grow not only emotionally and mentally, but also spiritually. I look forward to my visits here and always recommend the center to my own clients."
-L.M.
"I cannot express how grateful I am for the support I received from Rhea and the Holistic Center for Soulful Living. Rhea has been a guiding light in my journey of overcoming anxiety and navigating complicated family dynamics. Her compassionate holistic approach helped me address not just the surface issues, but the deeper emotional roots of my struggles. Thanks to her, I have not only found peace from anxiety, but also have rebuilt self-esteem and reconnected with my inner strength. Rhea’s insight and encouragement have powered me to take control of my life again, and I now feel more confident and grounded. The peaceful and nurturing environment at the holistic center also played a role in my healing process. If you are looking for a therapist who genuinely cares, listens, and provides tools to help you grow, I highly recommend Rhea and the Holistic Center for Soulful Living. They have been a true blessing in my life."

-Anonymous
"I have been working with Rhea at the center for over two years and it's been the most rewarding experience. Through thoughtful and inspiring sessions, I have learned to not only improve my current self, but to search my heart and soul for a deeper and more meaningful life filled with honesty and compassion. Rhea not only supports me with our discussions but always provides practical suggestions and tools to inspire me to continue healing and growing in between sessions. I strongly recommend Rhea at the center; I for one am so grateful that I found her!"
-L.B.
"I enjoy going to the center to attend classes with Steve Interrante. I have learned so much from him about being mindful and how to mediate. I really enjoy his Sunday morning mediation classes; they really help start my week off in a good mindset. Attending mediation classes with Steve has really helped me manage a lot of the anxiety I had. Thanks to Steve and his teachings, I was able to come off most of my anxiety medications. My life has been forever changed, and I am so grateful. The center is very lucky to have Steve as part of the team. Steve's soul recognition therapy was also a wonderful experience. I was privileged to do a private session, as well as a recent group session. Each experience left me feeling great and taught me more about myself. I will be back for more. I have also attended Steve and Charlie's sound bath healing sessions, and they are AMAZING. After these sessions, I feel so relaxed. I have invited friends to join me, and they also have enjoyed the benefits of sound healing and now return to the space with me. I love the center; the big room is beautiful and serene. It's a wonderful place to meet other like-minded people and share ideas."
-D.M.
"I’m writing a testimonial in the midst of my “journey” with the center. Important because while I feel like a work-in-progress, each time I visit with Alissa or Rosemary I am amazed at how insightful they can be. At the same time they prompt me, challenge me and direct me to a level of introspection that can only be described as transformative. Before being introduced to the center I met with a more “clinical” psychologist and was very disappointed. I’m so glad I did not give up on therapy, but instead gave up on therapy that was not designed or equipped to bring me in touch with my best self. The name “soulful center” is not to be taken lightly. It is no cliché. If you seek to connect with your soul, if you seek awareness, effectiveness, insight and so much more this is the place to visit. I can say with all sincerity that it takes one visit… In that short time, you will know if you’ve arrived at the right place. I did."
-B.F.
"Reconnective Healing Sessions with Rob Koenig have been an amazing experience which affected my life in such a positive way. Each session has connected me and aligned me emotionally, spiritually and also physically. After each session I felt peaceful and more balanced and could see the effect flowing into all areas of my life. When I took my twenty two year old daughter with a severe debilitating health issue to Rob for a series of three sessions, I was able to observe and watch the magnificent power of this healing method. Where conventional medicine stopped their work, Reconnective Healing completed the healing process rapidly. My daughters debilitating health issues rapidly decreased and after a few short days she was starting to feel herself again and was healed. I highly recommend seeing Rob for Reconnective Healing Sessions. You will be so glad you did. I am very grateful for Rob and Reconnective Healing."
-D.S.
"“I have been a client at the center for almost 5 years now. Through a combination of therapy, Reiki & hypnotherapy I have transformed from an anxious, angry, frustrated child into a rational & confident man. Rosemary, Alissa & Mary have helped me to unlock my past and understand the nature of my insecurities. I stave to live in the present now and am happy and successful thanks to their skills. I am SO grateful!”."
-J.C.
"Rob Koenig created a peaceful, supportive and caring space in which to heal. During my Reconnective Healing session, I was aware of the sensation of energy moving around and through me, and afterwards, I was very relaxed. Although I went to the first session with the hope of a healing a physical ailment, a more powerful, life-altering “healing” occurred that was quite unexpected but much appreciated and needed. I experienced three sessions, each more powerful energetically, than the one before. This is a wonderful gift that Rob is sharing with the world. Thank you!"
-A.G.
"My journey with The Holistic Center for Soulful Living began almost 3 years ago when a dear friend highly recommended Rosemary to me. I felt stuck in my life at the time. I was unhappy and no longer knew what I wanted. Rosemary has since helped me tremendously, and I am so thankful to her. When you don’t quite know how to articulate what or how you’re feeling, it is comforting when someone just gets it. Rosemary identifies exactly with what I struggle to verbalize. The overall Center is welcoming from the moment you step inside. The beautiful and inspiring decor along with the heartfelt greetings are extremely reassuring. It can be so nerve-wracking to face your insecurities, regrets and fears; but those feelings disappear as these professional and compassionate women guide you to a place of understanding, strength, progress and peace. The Center offers so many services and opportunities to help you grow. Anytime I encounter someone struggling with an area in his or her life, I now highly recommend The Holistic Center for Soulful Living."
-J.H.
"Come to The Holistic Center for Soulful Living and become a soul seeking warrior. The rewards are great but it takes focus, determination and commitment, Qualities of any strong warrior! I’ve participated in several programs the center has created and I always come out of it inspired, rejuvenated and hopeful for improving myself, my outlook and my habits. Their programs help to open your heart and mind to fulfilling your heart’s desires and making a realistic plan or expectation on how that can happen. Exploration of what really matters to you and what your heart desires enables you to make small changes in your daily life that brings positivity and possibility to any situation. Participating in these workshops is the best gift you can give yourself. Plus they are totally awesome people living their truth!!"
-M.S.
"The Holistic Center for Soulful Living is a warm and inviting place that has set out to nourish the soul and touch the hearts of many. Professionals here have a holistic approach and strive to help the individual discover inner peace and serenity. Each professional here at the Holistic Center for Soulful Living truly dedicates themselves to the people they help each and every day. No matter the service, the individual is guaranteed to be given the tools and skills they need to achieve."
-J.R.
"There are no words that can truly articulate all of the Blessings that were bestowed upon us during our time at The Holistic Center for Soulful Living. The interactions with the center were indeed the catalyst to the transformation that took place on a souls level for both my husband and myself. The Holistic Center for Soulful Living, embodies an energy like no other wellness center. Each practitioner “shows up” for you as their client in a way that is unlike any other. The energy that is held in each session is one of complete compassion, positivity, inspiration, insight and sincerity. I believe the philosophy, approach, and mission that The Center embraces and stands for is the answer that you have been looking for in helping you to release anything that is holding you back from healing, finding your truth, and embracing your authentic self. I am SO Grateful for the Blessing of these practitioners in our lives. I can truthfully say that we would not be the people we are today or living the life we are living without their guidance and support. The words THANK YOU could never be enough. In Love & Light,"
-M.S.
"The Holistic Center for Soulful Living has transformed my life in ways beyond comprehension. I came to the center with my 6 year old daughter to help us recover from a turbulent home life. I was beaten down and completely numb to life. Rosemary has changed my perspective and is helping me shift my way of thinking. I am discovering that I do have goals and dreams. My daughter came fearful, overwhelmed & confused. It has been two years and I am learning to live a life with purpose and I choose how I experience every precious moment. I have come into the fullness of who I am and my daughter has begun her journey at an early age and has already transformed and become a beautiful spirit with self awareness. We are receiving gifts and blessings we never imagined possible. THANK YOU for giving us the gift of a truly Soulful Life!"

Rob has spent over 25 years in the field of school psychology supporting the developmental and educational needs of children and adolescents with professionalism, passion, and commitment. In 2013, Rob embarked on a spiritual journey of discovery and became fascinated by the exploration of human consciousness, evolution and healing. It was at that time he was introduced to a holistic, energetic approach known as Reconnective Healing which is recognized for its capacity to stimulate an individual’s return to balance, harmony, and well – being on all levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. As an energy healing practitioner, Rob has enjoyed co – creating opportunities for transformation and harmony for hundreds of his clients over the years.

Rob’s desire to be an ambassador for global consciousness and healing evolved into his role as an international instructor for Reconnective Healing and ultimately Co-Director for The Reconnection, LLC , a position that he proudly held for several years. As the co-owner of The Holistic Center for Soulful, Rob now has the opportunity to promote multiple pathways towards healing and human evolution and believes that we all have the capacity to reconnect with the essence of our true spirit so that we may live a life of joy, authenticity, and unlimited potential.

Reconnective Healing

Reconnective Healing is a holistic, energetic approach to healing that naturally activates our innate healing capacity and promotes improved health, wellness, and vitality in all areas of our human experience. This non – physical energy interaction can help us to return to our natural state of balance and harmony – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

During your healing session, you will lie face-up on a massage table, fully-clothed, as you allow yourself to relax and gently notice what you are experiencing. Although this process is facilitated “hands-off” you may observe a variety of sensory or physical sensations as your body begins to register its interactions with these often palpable energetic frequencies.

Appointments are scheduled for 1 hour, which includes approximately 30–35 minutes of table time, after which you will discuss your experience. Only 1 to 3 sessions are recommended to derive benefit.

Session Fee – $180

The Personal Reconnection

“The Personal Reconnection” is a structured, precise application of the Reconnective Healing process designed to help you:

  • Accelerate your personal evolution and growth
  • Receive more clarity and support with your life path and purpose

It is a process that brings into alignment the three essential energetic systems that support human life and allow us to thrive. These include the structured energy pathways within the physical body, the earth and the universal grid that surrounds us. Once these three systems are recalibrated and brought into alignment, one can experience more flow, clarity and ultimately, a more harmonic expression of one’s life path.

The Personal Reconnection is facilitated through two, one – hour sessions over the course of 2 days.

Session Fee (covering both days) – $333

She believes in a holistic approach to therapy, which promotes the healing, development, and integration of all aspects of one’s life in order to lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life. She deeply enjoys challenging her clients to look at things from a different perspective, and believes in the law of attraction – the idea that what you put out into the universe is what you get back from it.

Bring her your true self. She promises to create a relaxing, non-judgmental environment for you to privately express what you really need to.

Reconnective Healing is a holistic, energetic approach to healing that naturally activates our innate healing capacity and promotes improved health, wellness, and vitality in all areas of our human experience. This non – physical energy interaction can help us to return to our natural state of balance and harmony – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

During your healing session, you will lie face-up on a massage table, fully-clothed, as you allow yourself to relax and gently notice what you are experiencing. Although this process is facilitated “hands-off” you may observe a variety of sensory or physical sensations as your body begins to register its interactions with these often palpable energetic frequencies.

Appointments are scheduled for 1 hour, which includes approximately 30–35 minutes of table time, after which you will discuss your experience. Only 1 to 3 sessions are recommended to derive benefit.

Session Fee – $180

The Personal Reconnection

“The Personal Reconnection” is a structured, precise application of the Reconnective Healing process designed to help you:

  • Accelerate your personal evolution and growth
  • Receive more clarity and support with your life path and purpose

It is a process that brings into alignment the three essential energetic systems that support human life and allow us to thrive. These include the structured energy pathways within the physical body, the earth and the universal grid that surrounds us. Once these three systems are recalibrated and brought into alignment, one can experience more flow, clarity and ultimately, a more harmonic expression of one’s life path.

The Personal Reconnection is facilitated through two, one – hour sessions over the course of 2 days.

Session Fee (covering both days) – $333

Robin Laban

Robin believes that our true potential lies within the unseen phenomena that profoundly affect our energetic bodies, ultimately allowing our physical bodies to live to their fullest.

Her work as an energy healer has been an incredibly magnificent journey. As a certified Reconnective Healing Foundational practitioner, Robin’s knowledge and personal experience with the Reconnective Healing facilitation are constantly evolving.

Much like a dancer and musician collaborating, Robin facilitates a beautiful dance between the individual and unseen energies. Through a combination of hands-on and hands-off approaches, she guides clients in a sacred understanding where words cannot truly express the unique individualized experience of the energy healing process.

Over the past five years, Robin has observed a common thread among her clients: feelings of peace, balance, and love. Anxiety diminishes, clarity emerges from mental clutter, and blocked memories are released and renewed with positivity.

This approach to healing delves into the core of our cellular system, grounded in years of ongoing research. As individuals open themselves to receive unseen information from divine guidance, their truest, authentic selves can emerge in a trusting and safe environment, illuminating their lives with peace, joy, love, and purpose.

Lisa Lamana

Lisa began her career as a psychotherapist in 1996, working in addiction and mental health clinics. Over time, she specialized in trauma and the brain-body connection, focusing on how trauma affects the central nervous system. Lisa conducted numerous groups and training sessions on the fight/flight/freeze response and the various ways people self-medicate to cope with trauma. By educating her clients, she helped many start to heal and move away from “external” coping mechanisms. Teaching the importance of a sense of purpose was also a critical component of her work.

After several years in this rewarding field, Lisa transitioned to a position as a project director and program developer, assisting the homeless mentally ill in obtaining safe and sometimes supervised housing. In 2004, she started a part-time private practice, which grew into full-time self-employment by 2014. In her practice, Lisa developed the “Little Red Wagon” concept, helping clients explore childhood events that left marks or scars. This process creates awareness of these events, their origins, and how they impact functioning and decision-making. Lisa even keeps a little red Radio Flyer wagon in her office as a visual aid to prompt the question, “What’s in your wagon?”

Throughout the evolution of her practice, Lisa emphasized the importance of health and the Holy Trinity of wellness: balance of mind, body, and a spiritual practice of any kind. She teaches people to look inward and stop relying on external things to feel better, promoting a sustainable approach to wellness. In 2016, Lisa furthered her education by becoming a health coach, and in 2023, she completed a two-year education in Functional Medicine. This allows her to delve deeper into helping clients by addressing the root causes of dis-ease rather than just treating symptoms. Lisa’s focus is now on gut health and detoxification, bringing her work full circle and illuminating the Holy Trinity of wellness.

Lisa is dedicated to helping clients raise their wellness vibe and is honored by the trust they place in her. Her commitment is to introduce clients to their true, authentic self because they are more than they think. Lisa invites clients to start this journey together, guiding them toward discovering their genuine self and enhancing their wellness.

Raena Pastore

Raena Pastore is a licensed social worker with over 20 years experience in the human services/social work field. Raena obtained her MSW in May 2004 from The State University of New York at Stony Brook and became a licensed social worker in 2007. Her passion for helping others started in working with adults with special needs, intellectual and physical disabilities, as well as people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and various mental illnesses. This work evolved into work with adolescents, children, families and business agencies- using the behavioral and communicative dynamics of any relationship as the starting point to explain and then work through any issues/concerns or disturbances. Raena also has a focus on co-parenting therapy work- where parents come together as partners in parenting which is often a difficult transition from being former partners in a deeper relationship. Raena bases much of her work with others on the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach- assisting her patients in becoming present with their thoughts and feelings.

Mrs. Pastore is also a Registered Yoga Teacher who wholeheartedly believes in teaching others to live in the present moment, where true happiness resides (and in many cases waits to be felt); this is taught through various methods including Yoga, Meditation, Chakra Balancing and other mindfulness practices. Raena believes that mentally living in the past often serves as an emotional anchor and often leads to depressive symptoms; just as mentally living in the future often increases anxiety and likelihood for some level of disappointment in people’s lives. Her approach is a holistic one, where she works with the ‘entire person’ and their overall wellness (or lack-thereof) acknowledging and addressing lifestyle, self-care, life balance, self-talk, nature/nurture factors, diet, sleep, coping skills and thought process habits. It is within her core beliefs that one factor will affect another which will affect another, and so forth. Being able to get to the core of someone’s spirit and then work outward with love, compassion, patience and peace is of the utmost importance for true progression of her clients into emotional, physical, mental and spiritual wellness.

Raena’s work through yoga therapy includes working in schools (pre-school through high school), mental health clinics, group homes, shelters and private practice.

Her enthusiasm for creating a positive and healthy balance is evidenced through her various creative methods and activities for people of all ages and functioning levels. She is a firm believer in the power of positivity and manifestation; and she works through some of the basic principles of behavior modification to set up goals and procedures for her clients.

Michelle is committed to helping people live a more fulfilling life by identifying their needs and core values and bringing their inner and outer worlds into alignment.

She assists in helping her clients set goals and create a plan for their own development. She is deeply influenced by the classical teachings of yoga philosophy and meditation. She brings this into her coaching by helping clients focus on centering themselves, slowing down the mind, getting in touch with the breath and releasing tension and anxiety in both mind and body. This leads to a clear path to know their true selves, tap into their own resourcefulness and initiate creative solutions toward a soul-satisfying life.
