Healing doesn't happen when you're being managed or fixed or pushed toward someone else's idea of progress. You need space to be where you are—to say 'I'm struggling' without being handed a gratitude journal, to feel angry without being told to find the lesson.

Healing Arts Center in Virginia Beach offers somatic mindfulness coaching, Reiki, meditation, and creative practices like art and writing. Victoria and Mark provide compassionate, client-centered support with a sliding scale for veterans, active duty, and first responders.
