TESTIMONIALS
My first session with Charissa completely grounded me again. It brought me back down to earth.
I felt energised afterwards and felt like a "new me", which was exactly what I needed. Charissa's strong motherly energy was comforting and made me feel safe.

Charissa's work simply cannot be put into words but I will do my best: transcending!
If you are looking to heal your body, mind and/or spirit in a holistic manner, she's the go-to person. She has healing hands and a heart of gold! She is also incredibly knowledgeable and insightful regarding her field of work.
Every session I have had with Charissa has brought me one step closer to better understanding myself and feeling rejuvenated again and ready to face whatever life throws at me.

As I journey through menopause and venture deeper into the natural process of aging, Charissa’s therapies has become my go-to healing path or tool.
Her powerful meridian and energy massage sessions is personally a way for me to prevent disease. I experience a deep physical and emotional reset of my body after her sessions and has many times jokingly referred to myself as feeling like a 25 year old again.
My chakra’s are very much activated and my life force returns. Symptoms typical of menopause like depressions lifts, my outlook becomes more positive and my libido returns.
What can I ask for more. Consider these therapies for yourself and you will surely never look back.

DOLPHIN RETREAT 2019
Myself and my Daughter, Demi had the amazing opportunity of being part of Charissa’a Dolphin Retreat 2019.
We prepared ourselves with a detox under the guidance of Charissa before the retreat, which I highly recommend.
Charissa planned the whole trip with regard to accommodation and excursions, which helped us prepare and organise what we had to. The information shared by Charissa from flights to snorkelling gear was great and I felt sufficiently prepared for the retreat.
Upon arrival in Hawaii, Charissa collected us from the airport. The house that Charissa arranged for us to stay in for the duration of the Retreat was beautiful. We had the most amazing view of paradise from the huge veranda (Lanai) of the house.
On the first morning we started with a beautiful meditation which initiated our journey of the retreat. We were welcomed with a Lei (flower necklace) and we made an offering for Madame Pele (the Goddess of Volcanoes), which we later took down to a Sacred Site and let our offerings go out to sea.
Each morning started with breakfast on the Lanai which consisted of fresh juicing and an amazing assortment of delicious organic local fruit, as well as other nutritional and super foods. The Lanai was also a perfect place to do some yoga and to sit for an early morning meditation. On most mornings we would go down to the bays closest to us, to see if there was an opportunity to swim with the dolphins. During the first week we were fortunate to swim with the dolphins almost every morning.
The dolphin swimming was the highlight of the retreat. Charissa is a very experienced swimmer, as well as being experienced in swimming with the dolphins. She was great in guiding us into the water with snorkelling gear and sharing responsible and meaningful dolphin swimming etiquette with us. Charissa has a connection with the dolphins and this is very evident when you are in the water with her. She supported me to go beyond my comfort zone in the water, which gave me the freedom to truly experience the swimming.
My experience of swimming with the dolphins is more than I had hoped for. It was difficult to imagine that the dolphins may interact and communicate with me, and it was only once I had my own encounters with the dolphins did I realise that it is overwhelmingly real and life changing. My appreciation and gratitude for being part of this tribe who have experienced the healing vibration of the dolphins, is immense.
Charissa arranged a boat trip out to sea to swim with the dolphins which was also an awesome experience.
Charissa was an amazing tour guide, the time that she had previously spent in Hawaii she had learned much of the Hawaiian traditions and beliefs, the spiritual essence of Aloha, and also some of the written and spoken language. She shared this with us, making our trip insightful, giving it more depth and understanding.
We visited various Sacred sites in nearby surrounds. We also ventured on a few day trips to see the rest of the Island, this included the volcanoes, the waterfalls, the black sands beach, and a small fishing village.
We also had time for local markets, souvenir shopping, a taste of a few restaurants, a treat at the Kava Bar, and we ended our trip by attending a Luau (traditional Hawaiian dinner, music and dancers).
The whole trip was an unforgettable adventure.

I started doing sessions with Charissa a few months ago. Each session has helped with my overall energy levels, digestion and positivity.
We were targeting digestion but she released so much more than just that. For many years (+- 16) I have had severe pains in my throat during times I have needed to speak up for myself but have held back, as well as holding back my true emotions and my voice not being clear.
We did an energy release of the area and for the first time I am speaking with clarity and confidence and standing up for myself. I could feel the frog in my throat jump out during the session.
We also did other sessions which made me aware of the childhood trauma I was still carrying and we released some of this. On top of all this she has helped me with my diet and helped me follow guidelines for my Ayurvedic body type which has helped drastically.
I highly recommend doing sessions with Charissa. She genuinely has your best interests at heart and you feel completely safe in her space and presence. She is very intuitive and an incredible energy healer.

She has a glow.
An inner light, something between the elemental and the angelic.
A little other-worldly perhaps....... that connects her to people, to Nature and more specifically, through her own experience, to Dolphins.
When you have known her for a while it is easy to understand that Charissa may well speak Dolphin and dance their dance.
She brings with her a quiet, sincere and charmingly interactive way of leading a group.
I had the privilege of being under this spell in her Nia classes.
Those who have been in her presence will leave feeling positively rearranged, loved and uplifted.
They say that dolphins bring healing and I believe that Charissa has something of this magic too.

I have been on antipsychotics for two years (since 17) due to an over-reaction/confusion on Ritalin. After I weaned myself off, I was referred to Charissa. I needed guidance and natural interventions.
It was no easy task. I used to battle with anhedonia (inability to experience pleasure or reward), had blunted moods and difficulty concentrating / studying. It took five months after I weaned off the meds before I could regain my feelings again.
It takes time. There is light at the end of the tunnel even though it seems hopeless at first.
I am grateful for Charissa's counselling and physical touch with massaging and laser therapy. I was guided through any questions I had.
Through talking, I was able to address my anxiety issues I have been avoiding to deal with for a long time. The feelings of being unimportant, unwanted or unloved.
For example: How would I comfort the younger version of myself if we sat together?
Respecting and being gentle to oneself is important, so that one can take an interest in another's needs. This understanding makes counselling effective. (Affirmations).
The Lifestyle guide thoughtfully compiled for me was very helpful, explaining a start/end of day routine as well as exercise and meditation including nutrition. I keep looking at this and base my day on it.
I can now live with the peace of mind and body and I feel empowered to tackle Life's stresses physically and emotionally. I am definitely taking more charge of balance in life.

My girlfriend and I started having problems early in our relationship and as the two of us loved each other too much to just give up, we decided to get help. We contacted Charissa and scheduled an appointment. This was the most wonderful experience. My girlfriend and I could get to know and understand each other better in a neutral environment where Charissa stayed neutral and did not take sides.
She gave us relationship tools to use and up to today we are happy and make use of those tools to get us through difficult patches. I most definitely recommend Charissa for any and all types of counselling.
