Meet the Practitioners:

 

Ronica Perez, L.Ac.

Ronica Perez graduated summa cum laude from the National University of Health Sciences with a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture.

She is a diplomate of the NCCAOM (the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) and a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Illinois.

 

She became interested in Chinese medicine when she wasn’t happy with the answers she was getting from her child’s pediatrician. Someone had suggested to her that she see a ‘Chinese Doctor’ for her concerns. Because she knew nothing about this type of medicine and had heard so many warnings about the dangers of herbal medicine, she had to do some investigating. What she found was that not only did she want to start seeing these ‘Chinese Doctors’ but she wanted to become one. She went to the National University of Health Sciences to hear Dr. Kwon talk about acupuncture and oriental medicine. Dr. Kwon talked about how to treat the common cold. Using Chinese medical theories, he explained how one medicine would not work on all individuals who have a cold. He pointed to the people in the lecture and said though everyone in the room had a cold, this one had a fever, this one had a sore throat, this one had a clear, runny nose, and this one had chills. Chinese medicine looks at each person and records each symptom to make a prescription and treatment plan that is unique and specific to each individual. After listening to Dr. Kwon, she had to learn more, and immediately enrolled in the Master’s program for Acupuncture.

 

Ronica also incorporates ZYTO biofeedback technology. Using this extraordinary modern technology with the wisdom of the ancient philosophies, she is able to give each patient insight as to why they are experiencing discomforts and develop a plan not only to treat the current symptoms but also to try to prevent them from occurring again.

 

Chinese medicine requires the practitioner to be skilled at listening to patients and finding the ‘root cause’ of complaints. Patients are able to take more responsibility for their health and learn about the amazing healing capabilities of the human body. Instead of feeling “Why does this type of stuff always happen to me…,” the patient becomes empowered to change and to heal. The effects of the acupuncture treatments continue to amaze Ronica. She is constantly educating herself about this medicine that is thousands of years old and is honored to be able to share this knowledge with others.

He has a strong connection to universal intuition and is motivated through that intuition in his performances and in his life. Since a child he has explored many spiritual traditions searching for the unifying elements connecting all paths; the resonating truth of love and light in all beings. This has led him to the gong, which seems to be a portal for communicating directly with the oneness that connects and permeates all things. Benjamin performs gong meditations (or gong baths) and creates artwork to facilitate reconnection with the divine in all things.

 

Group Sessions: Relax in a zero-gravity chair and enjoy the healing benefits of the gong. The tones and vibrations produced by the gong allow for many levels of healing the body. Every experience is different and unique based on the needs of the body at that particular moment in time. Benjamin is always available after the session if you would like to share your experience.

Monica Ruane, Aromatherapist, Reflexolgy

Aromatherapy is defined as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit.

On a deeper level, essential oils are the "spirits" of plants, trees, flowers, seeds and resins. Essential oils are the original "medicine" of our ancestors and they heal on emotional, spiritual, mental and physical levels.  Monica connects with the spirits of the essential oils and intuitively uses them to heal others.

As a certified Aromatherapist, Monica is able to create custom oil blends for her clients that promote well-being within the delicate balance of body, mind and spirit. The Plant Kingdom offers a vast array of options for situations ranging from medical conditions, to maintaining wellness, to expanding one’s intuitive and spiritual experiences.  For some, the magnitude and diversity of these options is a bit overwhelming, and they need some assistance in determining which essences are best for their needs and interests.

Carol Kwitkowski: Medium, Psychic, Reiki Master

Carol Kwitkowski is a medium, a psychic and a Reiki Master. Her spiritual journey began before age 3, following the loss of her baby brother Eddie. She started having dreams about what happens when we die.  As a young adult, in search of answers, she went to psychics and mediums to find out if there really was an afterlife.

 

Fast-forward to age 36: she had a stroke. The type of stroke she had leaves many paralyzed, and some don’t make it through at all. She was told over and over that she was “lucky.” Her stroke left her with minor complications, one being a fullness in her head. She felt she was forever changed. She had an overwhelming sense of being connected to God. She knew she had more to do in this life. She felt like she was on a divine mission, but wasn’t sure what it all meant.

 

From there she started learning as much as she could about our connection to spirit and intuition. She read metaphysical books, watched videos, took classes and workshops — everything and anything about healing and the other side.

 

It wasn’t long before other people’s loved ones in spirit started coming to her while in meditation. That left her in awe. In learning to connect to the other side, she was learning the language of spirit. She was trying to sort out exactly what was going on with her

 

She then lost her older brother, PJ. He and her shared the last year of his life on a spiritual journey together. They were a team. With PJ’s passing, that threw her into “full speed.” She was determined to have a connection to her brothers, no matter what.  That prompted her to became a Reiki Master with the hope of having more experiences with her brothers. As time went on, she started connecting with loved ones for other people.

 

Her heart and soul lies in helping people see that our loved ones are with us. They truly are. From being a doubting Thomas at the start of her journey to now having her own first-hand experience, she became a believer. We all have our own divine mission, and Carol’s is to help people connect with their loved ones in spirit, and for them to see the beauty of their soul.

*Intuitive Reiki

*Spiritual Guidance/Mediumship
