“I am very grateful to have my Hope Floats family. When I walk into the home after a week filled with unbearable grief I instantly feel at home. When you look at the group you can see the familiar pain in the eyes of the group members and they all put the pain they feel aside to help me deal with my pain It is a place where there is no wrong way to feel or a deadline for you to feel better. It has made a huge difference in my life and I can not image not having the support, compassion and love that I get from the women in the group. A very healing place.” ~ Jeannie Welch
“I live less than two miles from Hope Floats Wellness Center and yet when I am there I feel as if I’m hundreds of miles away on a very relaxing vacation. I am hooked on the all day Rose & Friends) Womens Retreats..a day of pampering,meditation total relaxation, great food and meeting some of the most amazing women I have ever met!
The weekly yoga classes I attend are fantastic. Paula is an amazing teacher who modifies her classes to each persons individual needs. A great way to end the day! Also…I am a table tipping junkie!!! A physical form of mediumship, it has to be experienced, trying to describe it does not do justice. If you want to connect with a loved one passed on, you definitely should attend one of these events. It is an experience you won’t soon forget! Teresa Lally, coordinator, is fabulous and makes everyone feel right at home.
Lastly, I am so grateful to have met Denise Brack, owner, director and my yoga buddy. She is so welcoming and compassionate. And I so admire what she does for all who attend Hope Floats Wellness Center. Come see for yourself!!” ~ Claire Corbo
After years in search of truth and light I have found it. After many years of emotional termoil and self-hatred, I have discovered what it means to really LIVE LIFE. Hope Floats along with some of the practitioners, has helped me to the long-awaited spiritual guidance I was in need of to overcome my troubles. After numerous unintentional discoveries from nutritional sessions there, to walking the sacred grounds outside with an open heart, I have gained knowledge and faith beyond belief. I cannot put into words how special this place is and the people who are connected to it are, and it’s very magical essence. It is an individual experience for everyone who is willing to take away something from Hope Floats, but it offers a great deal to all, no matter what beliefs you may come with. For me, I have been able to make sense of things from my past. I have uncovered the meaning to mysteries within myself, and most importantly, I have been able to turn to the spiritual gifts Hope Floats has shown me to help me become more of the person I want to be. The beauty of Hope Floats goes beyond the “naked eye”. It is not only that the flowers are still in bloom long after they should be, or the sun may be shining there when the gray clouds followed you all the way from your house, the real magnificance of this place is that you don’t have to be a religous person to gain something. You don’t even have to have a sure belief in anything. If you go with an openness, and the desire to enjoy your experience there, whatever that entails, you will leave having learned. Hope Floats offers a multitude of yoga, retreats, reiki, counseling, and various forms of holistic healing. I have yet to go to all the events that appeal to me, but the few things I have gone to, as well as the people I have met are amazing. There is really something for everyone! Besides the various sessions/retreats/therapies listed on the website, I love that you can go to Hope Floats and use the outside resources any day, any time. I have gone weekdays, weekends, early morning, day, middle of the night. Each visit is different from the last. There is a wonderful labyrinth outside, and that alone has given me a lot of internal strength. I have been able to maintain a higher level and length of time with focus and concentration while walking the labyrinth path. I have also had moments of great emotion, especially when reaching the center, and I loved the fact that it was so personal, yet so many different kinds of people had walked it. Behind the labyrinth is a path. It feels as if you are walking through an enchanted forest. At the end, you reach a stream. The stream’s peace and tranquilty is outstanding. It can be mesmerizing, and is a great place to sit and “meditate”. I truly recommend Hope Floats to anyone looking for something healing. I’m sure you will find things that I have yet to discover. There is nothing out there quite like Hope Floats. To fully understand all of it’s unique wonders, you have to experience it for yourself!!! Amanda*
