Thank you, Vanessa!" Mandi May
"I always enjoy coming down to see the lovely Vanessa Marie Dewsbury for Reiki treatments. It helps me to relax and calm my anxiety by focusing on the music, and what I can see when I shut my eyes, every time I come down it's always a new experience. Thank you from the bottom of my Heart because I don't know where I would be if I hadn't accepted your invite down to my first treatment. So again thank you from the bottom of my heart you have changed my life." Chris V

"Vanessa is an amazing and intuitive Healer. She uses her beautiful talents to gift you with soul-based healing and words that offer you opportunities for change. Change your mind, change your heart, change your life. She shares her abilities for your highest good and guides you to a better place. Softly, gently, lovingly, she assists you with healing your life." Jessie
"Today Vanessa worked magic on me! Well to be honest she always works magic on me but what was special about today was that she cured my headache that was about to turn into a migraine. I arrived at her studio today feeling flustered and overwhelmed. I was late and not feeling well. Within minutes she had me calmed down and relaxed. My headache had me feeling like someone had punched me in the eye and my neck was super sore. Upon arrival my headache was at about a level 8 for pain and discomfort including some nausea. By the time she was finished I was down to a level 2!!! It was so amazing!!! I was able to avoid taking Advil for what was probably going to turn into a migraine. I was so grateful! Vanessa you are truly amazing. I always look forward to your treatments. You have played a major part in my mental wellness journey!!! I can't thank you enough!!!!" Krystal
"Today was my first ever Reiki treatment and I absolutely loved it. I had no expectations and just wanted to try it out. It was more than I ever thought it could be. I felt relaxation, clarity and good energy. Vanessa was absolutely incredible to meet and I cannot wait to go back and try this again. I think this will be something I have in my life for a long time, especially if Vanessa is doing it. Thank you for this wonderful, life changing experience today Vanessa!" Tina K

"Well I had Vanessa Marie Dewsbury come yesterday to my mom and do what she so brilliantly does with her Reiki and it was fascinating to watch as my mom responded to her in so many ways. Some relaxed and others jumpy. After she left my mom slept peacefully for the first time in a week. Today my mom was brighter and much more present and cognitive then she has been. She was no longer hallucinating and she was really thirsty." Angie

I felt lost, confused and not grounded. When I left from the treatment, I just felt light and relieved! Creative energy has continued to flow, I have a sense of direction, peacefulness and calmness surrounding me once again! Your beautiful spirit has completely cleared away my fog! Thank you again and look forward to future treatments!" Alicia L

"Vanessa Marie, Thank you so much for the beautiful Reiki treatment today. I feel invigorated and ready to tackle challenges from a new perspective. On the way home those 4 hawks flew right over my car, thought they were turning me around on the road! It’s perhaps time to be less distracted by the details and focus on the higher perspective." Jesse Morrison Reiki Master
"I had an absolutely amazing time with Miss Vanessa. Vanessa is the owner of Soul Alive Barrie. She has an incredible gift. I highly recommend her touch Reiki session and Angel Card Reading. Vanessa went over and above for me tonight, she didn't watch the clock and ended up going over the scheduled session time. She made sure she did a thorough job. Her card reading was amazingly accurate and my soul really does feel alive and awakened again. My aches and pains have subsided and I have a new energy and feeling of peace and calmness. Thank you so much Vanessa! I will be back and will highly recommend your services to my friends and family and clients." Tammy Chapman

"If you are looking for a way to relax & get in tune with yourself you need to call Vanessa Marie Dewsbury for a Reiki treatment.

I will definitely be letting everyone know how fantastic this experience was and will be going again and again." Thanks again Vanessa!! Lindsay M
"I went to my first Reiki treatment with Vanessa not just sure how things would go as we had only met once and I didn't know what to expect. I was welcomed into her lovely home, given a nice cup of tea and had an Angel Card Reading, which I found to be very informative. The Reiki session was conducted in her treatment room upstairs and it is a welcoming and peaceful space. I was really tired so thought I would fall asleep, which I did, however it was an unusual experience. I know that I slept but I also know that I was very aware of what was happening both externally and internally. I felt very warm and relaxed and saw the Northern Lights for the first little while. I kept seeing explosions of green light and then it turned to purple and eventually white light. I felt as though things were shifting inside me on a physiological level and when I eventually did come off the table, I was very relaxed. I found that I had to go home and take a nap and felt quite drained for that day. The next day, and since, I have felt energized and have started a new shift in my awareness. All in all, an excellent experience!" Jessie B, Energy Worker
"While my Reiki session was happening and I felt myself relax, I started to see many, many white lights swirling around in my head, very surreal and calming for me. Twice, a man’s face came into my vision but I honestly have no idea who he was. I had clouds of smokes come from behind me, and as they reached out in front of me, they turned into bright yellow flowers as they disappeared. However, I had one scary vision, as I saw myself standing on a window ledge, ready to jump off but then forced myself to get rid of that vision. As the session came to an end, I found it difficult to move, actually was afraid to move, because at this point, I could not feel my arms, it was like they were no longer attached to my body BUT I did bring myself back to reality and knew that it was just me being really, really relaxed.
After the session, we went downstairs to chat and Vanessa actually talked to me about 2 health issues that I have (now you need to know, this was the FIRST time I was meeting Vanessa, and the FIRST time that we had even talked about me AND the health issues are not something that I have made public, so for her to know, kinda freaked me out BUT in a good way). We talked about my experience and tried to understand some of the things that I had seen and experienced. I can honestly say, that this was truly an amazing experience that I had and loved who Vanessa was in making this experience very comfortable for me." Tammy H
"I had a treatment today with Vanessa and I can truly say she impacted my day! My day started busy and rushing (busy mom and entrepreneur in the wedding industry!) and I felt myself anxious and full of excited nervousness driving to her studio...I wasn't even sure I fully believed I could let myself relax and open up my mind enough to allow her in...She made me feel at ease while we talked and she read my cards and then we went upstairs to her very suitable treatment room...Soft & soothing...Treatment began, I closed my eyes and I willed myself to relax and clear my mind. While I was concentrating on my energy and breathing, very quickly I was conscious of her energy, warmth in her hands radiating to me...I could see her as soft yellow-orange light where I sensed her to be within the room; my vision of her at the beginning involved her having wings...I relaxed more and kept in the present. I saw a beautiful vision of a boat anchored in water; one of my feet on the edge of a boat or dock; I even saw a vision of her eyes/face watching me...Fully heavy with relaxation, we continued...Her presence changed to a blue/purple within the room; I saw different visions and light; I felt her pulse and heat radiate from her arms to join with me...When we were finished, I almost couldn't move (she thought I fell asleep) due to my deep relaxation. I was left with a calm and centered feeling that lasted most of today! I will definitely be a returning client as I feel very comfortable with her intuitiveness and spirit :) Thank you so much for showing me I could be open and calm. I feel that much closer connected to my inner self and trusting my journey." Kerri M
"I had my first treatment with Vanessa AMAZING and truly what I needed! I have been for sometime talking to my husband about taking the time to meditate again and for some reason - I WAS BLOCKED - I was not sure if doing my treatment with Vanessa would open me back up or if I would just be a body laying on her treatment table unable to relax. I enter the treatment room with a calm embraced welcoming to just be ... As I lay down I closed my eyes - first I couldn't breathe - almost wanting to panic - hearing Vanessa's words (which I do not remember what she said) prevented me in the beginning moments of having a panic attack. I am now laying still struggling in my mind for breathe but knowing I am okay and that I need to embrace what is being put forth for me. I see fires beyond fires in small villages and then it is bright and orange and read and then POOF all grey smoke - that clears and brings to a place that is completely white - unsure of what or where I was I struggle to see what is around me to understand - there I lay inside a coffin ... white, padding white, my outfit white, my hair strawberry blonde ... I am now watching myself laying in a white coffin - at peace with my eyes wide open - not afraid - not speaking but completely understanding ... then it was a whirl wind of air and sand (like a sand swirl you see on a windy day) - then it was blue light, that forwarded to beautiful colours that inside me mind felt vibrant and beautiful - I landed in the place the I always bring myself to meditation (when I did it) - it was there I was still and looked around I embraced every entire moment in which I could because it was just as beautiful as the last time I was their except it's colours had enriched and the energy was beyond what my soul had even imagined - I now feel a pressure on my abdominal in which I am thinking - without opening my eyes that Vanessa must be placing her hands on me - intense but NOT at all painful - then it was a whirl wind of air and sand again and I was just in placement of content and surrounded by brilliant colours and collages of messages and energy. This treatment was AMAZING ... it provided me in that moment what I needed to embrace what I have blocked for sometime. I took 30 minutes yesterday and I meditated - it was beautiful, peaceful and strengthing for my soul ... I learned the name of my spirit guide and I opened the channel in which I had been stopping for some time. I realize that some people may not understand complete levels and my review of treatment with Vanessa - however - I know Vanessa will truly understand and it will enlighten and embrace her soul to know that she is a gift beyond what my words or any words could ever express ... I WILL FOR SURE BE SEEING YOU MY DARLING for ONGOING treatment ♥ Thank-you for sharing your gift xoxo" Melissa L
