Diane Anderson: Healing Arts Practitioner and Workshop Presenter.
Diane Anderson, MS, RMT, holds a Master’s Degree in Naturology and provides energy healing sessions that include Reiki, chakra clearing, extraction of trapped or displaced energies, and shamanic healing which involves removal of spiritual intrusions and recovery of lost soul pieces. Diane also provides holistic health coaching and spiritual mentoring to help you identify your best self and to live your life with joy and a greater sense of purpose.
Everyone can benefit from energy healing, a holistic therapy that improves the health of the body, mind and spirit. Our bodies are complex energy systems that react to the world and circumstances around us. When energy becomes trapped in the body, it can manifest in a variety of physical and spiritual ailments. Reiki and other energy therapies support all types of traditional medical treatments. If you are experiencing stress-related conditions, fatigue, chronic pain, insomnia, or anxiety, energy healing can help to relieve these conditions and improve your overall well-being.
Shamanic healing works with the spiritual aspect of illness. A shamanic session may focus on the removal of spiritual or energetic intrusions or may center on healing soul loss that is the result of physical, mental, or emotional stress or trauma. Shamanic healing treats the root cause of illness and benefits every area of one’s life. Spiritual healing increases self-awareness, vitality, and enthusiasm for life.
Diane also teaches Reiki and Shamanic Healing at Hermitage Farm. (See Calendar and Workshops for dates and information)

Dalia Gamal, MD: Healing Arts Practitioner and Workshop Presenter. I was born In Egypt and raised in Germany and graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University in Ismailia, Egypt, 1999 and completed my Residency in Pediatrics and Neonatology there in 2003. I received my Master of Science in Hematology 2003 and was appointed Assistant Lecturer of Pediatrics at the Suez Canal University (still current). I completed my PhD Thesis work in Medical Genetics at the University of Miami in Miami, FL in (2006-2010). The years 2014- 2017 were a turning point for me. 4 arduous and challenging years were filled with losses and grief and disabling health challenges. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and further self-development seeking well-being, purpose and passion, meaning and wisdom of life.
My work with children and my work in molecular and clinical genetics had always fulfilled my love for looking always beyond and under the visible. I have been always curious about the “why” and was searching for what lies beneath the unexpressed, the unspoken, the unseen, the root cause, the deeper meaning, and now the wisdom in our body and life.
Eden Energy Medicine made so much sense to me. It provided me with answers. It would explain me, relationships, health and disease and Life. It empowered me and allowed me to accept and breathe and see the wisdom in what we are being gifted with in this life. It liberated me. EEM gave me wings. I became a certified Eden Energy Medicine practitioner and teacher. I have found my new passion and purpose.

In our work together, I aim to guide you to be your best self emotionally, physically, and spiritually through coaching.

Throughout my nursing career, I acquired a Master’s and Doctorate degrees in nursing and was able to integrate holistic and lifestyle coaching into the hospital setting. My Master’s degree was as a Clinical Nurse Specialist, and my Doctorate in Nursing Practice with an emphasis in Holistic/ Transcultural Nursing. The Coaching certifications include Intuitive Life Coaching trained and qualified by the Intuition Wisdom Institute in 2023 and Health and Wellness Nurse Coach board certified through the American Holistic Nurse Credentialing Corporation in 2013.

Connie Iezzi, BS, MSW, LICSW, Healing Arts Practitioner. With an extensive career in the social work and mental healthcare arenas, coupled with advanced training in mindfulness, wellness coaching, and other integrative, holistic well-health methods, Connie is uniquely suited to help you on your journey for wellness, connection, self-care, self-compassion, and stress management.
Sound Soother, a sound bath singing bowl meditation, is her signature service for stress management and self-care. Group Sound Soother sessions provide a peaceful and calming environment, using the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls to help you achieve deep relaxation and meditation in the company of others.
Connie received her early training in New York where she obtained a BS in Psychology from Iona College and a Master of Social Work degree from New York University. She received both Intention and Interpretation Therapy (mindfulness) and Wellness Coaching training through the Mayo School of Health Sciences in Rochester, MN. Connie first discovered the power of singing bowls and their ability to calm the stress response while working in a school district. Seeing the calming effect on stressed and emotional students, motivated her to launch her own independent research into the mechanisms of action, culminating in her receiving a Certificate in Integrative Health Interventions and Reiki Levels 1 & 2 certification from the University of Minnesota, and CMA sound energy work certifications from Life Changing Energy and Meditate School of Mindfulness & Sound in Atlanta.
Connie is the owner of Soul-cial Circles where she provides sound work using singing bowls and tuning forks, sound-infused reiki, and self-care coaching knowledge to help you get back to you. She will be offering individual ‘Good Vibration Sessions’ to clients on Wednesdays.
Tibetan bowls are placed on or around the body & rhythmically struck with a mallet for a deep relaxing & restorative experience.
Participants lie on a massage table, fully clothed in comfortable attire without zippers or snaps and the bowls are placed along the meridian lines, directly on or above/ near the body.
The mechanism of action is based on the theory that we are all made of energy and vibrations, and that directed vibrations can release trapped energy that has been stored in the body.
This session uses sound waves produced by the bowls that are strategically sent through the body along the energy centers and paths. The vibrations are gentle, and the bowls produce a pleasant tingling sensation that has a calming effect on the body and the mind by inducing the relaxation response.

Lisa Gabrielson, Massage Therapist. Lisa’s journey into the world of skincare began with the fusion of two of her greatest passions: self-care and the art of esthetics. While she has always had a deep appreciation of being the healthiest version of herself, her experimentation of self-care using various skincare products and different skincare routines, lead her to focus on the science of esthetics using an evidence-based approach while honoring the connection and importance of the mind, body and spirit connection, and the transformative power this holds. The result of the combining of these two passions led to Lisa’s pursuit of becoming an Advanced Practice Esthetician. As a result, Lumina Esthetics was born.
Lisa’s approach to the practice of esthetics and skin therapy is holistic. She believes that genuine beauty is internal and recognizes and honors the divine essence within oneself and others, while also acknowledging the inherent beauty and sacredness inherent in all aspects of existence. Specializing in personalized treatments and services that bring out one’s natural glow or radiance, Lisa is known for her ability to address the unique needs of her clients. Lisa’s ultimate goal is to enhance your external beauty while nourishing your inner luminosity, empowering you to embrace your authentic self with self-assurance.
Whether you seek rejuvenation, clarity, or simply a moment of indulgence, let Lumina Esthetics be your oasis of radiant beauty and wellness. Lisa could not be more thrilled to bring her practice to Hermitage Farm Center for Healing beginning in July and will offer a range of services including curated facial experiences, microneedling (collagen induction therapy) and chemical peel modalities.
