Facials and Skin Testimonials

Hi Nancy, I took advantage of your facial special (Hydrating Facial) and had it done by Dawn this past Saturday. All I can say is WOW!!! Dawn is fantastic, the whole experience was unbelievable and I will be going back to Dawn in six weeks and on a regular basis. She’s is amazing. Dawn is warm, caring and honest and knows her stuff and I am happy to say I am now one of Dawn’s “regulars!” Thanks Nancy and Dawn for your wondrous presence in our community! ~ Anna Chinappi 11/10

Hi Nancy
Thanks for being such an amazing practitioner. I just turned 50 and it’s one of those ages that everything starts to sag just a little (or a little more)…and prior to my facials with you I looked close to my age. Now people say I still look in my early 40′s….that is glorious!   I  trust you explicitly with my skin care needs! I don’t often purchase products after a facial, but I did with you and I am so happy I did! You explain what is needed but more importantly, what is not needed!  My skin feels great and looks great!   Thank you!

Belly Dance Testimonials

Hi Nancy, I wanted to let you know how much I’ve been enjoying Lara’s class on Mondays. She is such an amazing teacher & I am inspired to continue practicing at State of Grace. Your studio is so clean, beautiful and inviting. Thanks Heather Parslow (3/29/10)

“Since last September (2008), I’ve been taking Tara’s belly dance class on Sunday evenings and loving it!! Coordination is not my thing and I’ve never done any form of dance before. Tara is a very patient teacher and focuses on our safety and posture. She’s always positive if she has feedback how to improve our form. The movement feels amazing to my body, lively, stretched, energized and I’m loving my feminity!!! I was going through a stressful time last fall and I found that this one hour to focus solely on what my body was doing was so therapeutic. It may sound silly, but it’s brought a new level of joy to my life!! We have a lot of fun there. Some of us have become regulars, some rotate through, but everyone seems comfortable in this space with Tara’s open presence.” Jeannie F.

Yoga  Testimonials

“Hi Lara-I just wanted to let you know how much I LOVE your class.  It’s so easy to keep up and you offer great variations I surprise myself at what I can do. I feel great. The next  morning I don’t stumble out of bed all sore!!! I’m an operating room nurse and I stand for long periods of time at I use some of the stretches you’ve taught me during my day. Thanks again and great job!!!”  Erin Pierce

“About five years ago I began to take yoga classes at State of Grace.  Being a student of yoga has helped center my life in a practice that is both liberating and challenging.  Nancy Anger is an exquisitely sensitive and insightful teacher.  She embodies the Anusara approach to yoga, which honors every individual difference in body type, skill, and flexibility.   She has put together a group of teachers who share these qualities.  The physical space is very comfortable and open and the prices are reasonable.  My wife and I sample different yoga studios and teachers whenever we travel, and State of Grace is still tops on our list.” David P. Tapscott

“I’m one of those people who’s spent years at the gym lifting, sweating, sprinting and overall simply living a very, stressed fast-paced life…and then I had children. Over the years I found yoga, meditation and State of Grace. I’ve uncovered that my self-imposed fast life was running me down. I couldn’t slow down. The first many months I took yoga it was HARD to slow down, HARD to convince myself that my precious hour wouldn’t be better spent on a treadmill, but like everything worth having it’s taken practice and guidance to slow down and be, not do. Nancy has inspired me to look inside over the years and remember myself as a human being.  Nancys’ studio and classes reflect her beauty, inside and out, and her divine respect for all people looking to live life better. She invites you to grow and find balance and beauty in yourself. She has created a beautiful sanctuary and for that I am forever thankful.

Susie’s Tuesday night yoga with meditation is a true blessing to my life. She calms my nerves; centers me to think about being a good human, not a fast worker; reminds me that I have the power to live slowly and well; not race haphazardly toward bed. She reminds me to treat my inner self with love and respect. She guides me to treat my body gently and reverently. My body, mind and spirit soar after her class. I actually sleep well on Tuesday nights. She inspires. I am grateful. “- Sara C., Hopedale

“Hi Nancy,  Just wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying my yoga classes.
I’ve done several classes with each of the instructors and I am finding it hard to decide who I like best as they are all so good and somewhat different. My previous experiences with other yoga classes does not compare. Love the atmosphere, hours, location and newsletters.  Also, my daughter recently attended kids yoga and loved it as well. Thanks so much!”   D. Cahill

“When I came to State of Grace for my first Yoga Level 1 Class, I was having extreme knee pain and was taking 3 Aleve a day trying to manage the pain and swelling.  After 2 months of attending Yoga classes a minimum of 2 times a week, the swelling was down and I was able to stop taking Aleve!

I took a couple of private lessons with Yoga Instructor, Susie Masters (Trevani), to learn how to modify positions my knee could not yet accommodate and to find poses which would help increase my range of motion. A year later I am able to enjoy more activities without all the pain and swelling of the past, my range of motion is much better, and Yoga is a part of my daily life. I am very glad I found State of Grace and thank Nancy and Susie for helping me build my Yoga practice.” -  Lynn Paresky

“Hi Nancy, Before taking a class at State of Grace, I had danced all of my life up until college. Pilates and yoga at are the first substitute that I have found that meet my physical and mental needs. Dance was as much of a full body workout as it was a release for stress. Yoga and Pilates at State of Grace provide me with the perfect balance of both; and the mix of the classes offered help me to challenge my self and the chance to relax. Thank you for all that you offer at State of Grace.”  Kind regards, Rachel Spalton

“Hi Nancy, Just writing to let you know that I took a class with Susie yesterday and what a gifted teacher! I was so happy I found a beautiful studio and teacher with depth. Thanks for offering both! “Linda Abely

Massage Testimonials

“Dear Nancy, On Friday May 22nd (2009) I stepped into your business for the first time and I was comforted from the moment I walked in. Mary (Oliva) was wonderful as I thoroughly enjoyed my massage. I’ll definitely be back!   Thank you for an amazing experience”  Jodi  Hooper

Reiki Trainin Testimonials

“I knew I wanted to get involved with energy for natural healing so I signed up for a Reiki I training class at State of Grace with Amanda deRezendes. I enjoyed that class so much I continued my training by taking Reiki II and Advanced Reiki. The classes were small and informative and provided me with a solid foundation for the benefits of Reiki. Each training was a wonderful peaceful experience.”  – M.R., 5/3/2011

“Healing, transforming, spiritual, enlightening. Amanda creates an inviting atmosphere for sharing and personal growth. Reiki is a healing and transforming practice for both practitioner and receiver. It has truly enriched my life!”

Mentoring, Light Body and Classes with Mary Wellman Testimonials

“Hi Nancy, I am excited to tell you that I am experiencing so many blessings and miracles in my life since beginning my “Mentoring for Your Life” sessions. Mary is a such a loving and intuitive teacher.  Her guidance is inspirational and unparalleled.

Her first meditation with me was so powerful.  The words she channeled were “spot on” to my situation.   I felt connected to spirit and very much loved. If that’s not miraculous, I don’t know what is!” Sincerely,  Pamela Connolly

I’ve been suffering from Chronic Fatigue for 2 years and was looking for a meditation class to enhance my recovery process and Mary has really been a blessing to my life. She has taught me to live more in the moment and be accepting of where I’m at which has really helped reduce  the stress in my life. She teaches you coping skills and you learn things about yourself that you  may not have been aware of. Her meditations are truly angelic. She has different meditation techniques that really take your mind to whole new level of spirituality. If anyone is suffering from illness or stress I absolutely recommend Mary Wellmans’ classes. This woman has the presence of the divine flowing through every fiber of her being. Her meditations are hypnotic as she takes you on an adventure of self discovery. She truly has been blessed with a gift to help those in the healing process.  Tina Lecour  11/19/09

I was pondering the courage and quiet reverence we had for ourself and each other as we shared the visions of our personal journeys during the regression meditation in our Light Body class with Mary Wellman these past four weeks. In this class she has given me the strength, courage and heart to leave that sacred space and do the work I need do! Forged through Mary’s divine will during this class, my soul’s purpose has been awakened! Thank you, Mary, as you have helped another Lightworker find her way!  Love, Mimi Haigh 11/18/09

Hi Mary, I attended Awakening Your Light Body classes at your Healing Arts center way back in January of 2001, among other classes. I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am to you.  You have been one of the most solid foundations in my spiritual growth. I can still, to this day, feel you holding the space. I am in awe of how effortless your teaching of the Light Body seemed, especially now that I know what it takes to hold the space and the awareness of it all. I can’t imagine having that experience with anyone else. Thank you so much. I truly feel blessed to have had you to light the way for me. The more I work with the energy centers the stronger I feel your presence still holding the space for me. I hope you are still guiding and assisting others in their enlightenment. Much love and light, Cat Parah  2/08/10

Laser Hair Removal Testimonials

“I was extremely pleased with the results of my first laser hair removal experience. I was surprised to find out that my free trial was actually a full first session! Also, the treatment only took a couple of minutes and wasn’t painful at all! Now, two months later, it’s amazing how few hairs are growing in that area. I only have to shave about once a week as opposed to every 2 days. I can’t wait to see the results of my second session! I would definitely recommend this treatment to anyone who is considering it.” Marcy Hester

“The laser hair removal was virtually painless and I noticed a difference after the first treatment.  The hair grew back slower and much more sparsely.  I’m looking forward to my next treatment!” Johanna Lyman

How  Laser Hair Removal is Going Green…

“I started laser over a year ago..and have been thrilled with the results…i just thought i’d throw this out there, even though this wasn’t a factor when i got started…but now that i don’t spend so much time shaving…i’m taking shorter showers and using less (hot) water….i’m sure i’ll be saving thousands and thousands of gallons of water throughout the rest of my life and to me makes my investment that much more worth it that it’s also impacted the environment…no more razor cartridges and shaving cream cans to toss in the landfill!”  Danielle Slawsby

(please note the client above (Danielle)  received her laser services elsewhere but wanted to share her feedback!

Oneness Blessing Testimonials

Dear Nancy,

“I was gifted with the Oneness Blessing at State of Grace this past Sunday, Sept. 12. Within minutes of the 4 Blessing Givers laying hands on my head, I felt this vast Love and serenity, both within me and all around me. My body went into a deep state of tranquility and there was such joy bursting forth from my heart!

Within  the next 48 hours, I wrote: “Living is smooth and easy… I am in synchronicity with Time… Time is slowing down, I am more efficient with time, I am at Peace… My memory and cognition are sharpened. I am greeting strangers with a ‘Good morning’ and a smile. My optimism and enthusiasm are bubbling over… I am secure – fear and doubt have vanished.”

Having embraced many spiritual paths in the last two decades, I must say that the Oneness Blessing produces immediate effects. To sustain this empowerment, I will avail myself of further Blessings and Courses offered at State of Grace and other locations. Thank you so much Nancy, for bringing the Oneness Blessing to all of us! Infinite Gratitude, Mary Wellman

“Nancy, I can’t thank you enough.  It was a wonderful experience. I will be there in January for sure.

I didn’t know what my husband would think of the blessing. I knew he wouldn’t chant   When we were walking to the car, he told me he really enjoyed it and felt so relaxed.  We went to a party that evening and he told friends about it.  So nice.  You are the best. Have a terrific Tuesday ” ~Linda McMullin

“Nancy,    Thank you for offering the Oneness Blessing at the State of Grace.  It was amazing!  After the blessing I felt an inner peace for the first time in my life.  I noticed for several days after that I felt peaceful, joyful and actually had an increase in my energy.  I have experienced other energy healing modalities but I have never felt anything this amazing.  I feel enlightened!”  Thank you,   Barbara Bray

“Nancy and Andy: Thank you so much for hosting and spreading this completely peaceful energy, it is certainly meant to share! Words don’t seem enough to express the shift that is happening, I feel more in tune with myself and others, I am more focused, positive, giving, and open. In general, I am happy to be alive…no wait I think it’s more appropriate to say that I feel like I am radiating love to myself and others. Thank you both again, I look forward to future blessings” -  Anna Head-Kogut

“Dear Andy,   I never heard of Oneness Blessings until I saw the Wellness Center notification from Nancy Anger.  My intuition continues to sharpen as I progress on my Spiritual path and I felt drawn to this event. I also have been feeling more love growing within me and love was in the air that afternoon of 14 November!

The chakra clearing chants were awesome!  I could feel the power of the group chant … WOW!  I even ordered the Chakra Balancing CD to do some serious Chakra work

Shortly after the 2nd Blessing Giver had finished with my blessing.  I felt a slight pressure, simultaneously & uniformly, on my face, side of my head, neck and upper shoulders.  It was like someone flicked a switch on!  This sensation lasted for about 5 seconds then simultaneously stopped. I recently became a Reiki Master and feel healing energies as vibrations and or heat but have not felt any thing like this before!  In addition, I was very warm when the blessings started then gradually cooled down to a more comfortable temperature as the evening progressed.

The Om Deeksha! music was (is) hauntingly beautiful, peaceful and refreshing!!  I keep listening to it … even as I write this note!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Much love & hugs to you and the other two wonderful Blessing Givers (I wish I could remember their names!) and to Nancy Anger for hosting the event.  I will never forget this experience and I will never forget the Oneness Blessing Givers ” In Gratitude and Love, Ron Rodowicz

Rapid Lash Testimonials

Hi Nancy, ” Initially I was using it only on my brows because I wasn’t sure how long the product would last if I used it on my lashes too, but around a week ago I started using it on both. Around a week and a half ago I noticed a lot of new small brow hairs growing in and it is making enough difference at this point, that I did not feel it was absolutely necessary to “fill in my brows” this morning when putting on my makeup. So the short answer is YES I do see results, and like you it seemed to be all of a sudden! Gee…I might even have to get them shaped at some point; that’s new for me! Thanks for the follow-up, and I am sure I will be looking for a second tube in the future”. Debbie Christensen
