Testimonials about The Tree of Health Center

"A very comfortable and inviting setting, with excellent variety of services available for mind, body and spirit. Holistic in the best sense of the word. Never have I been more comfortable being cared for than at the Tree of Health Center. If mainstream health care leaves you feeling like you have been processed through, but not healed the way you need to, this is where you should be coming instead."
​- Lisa Yannelli
"I have always had a wonderful experience at The Tree of Health Center! I have been going there before several years and have tried different sessions that they offer. The practitioners have all been wonderful and the atmosphere is very relaxing. I would highly recommend them to anyone! My 3 favorites are Massage Therapy, CranialSacral Therapy, and EFT Tapping."

When I visit The Tree of Health Center, there is a very big difference in how I feel mentally,physically, and spiritually. No matter how I’m feeling when I come in. I always feel 10 times better when I come out. I feel my life has changed from my first visit to now in so many ways. Definitely would recommend to anyone going through tough times or even to any who would just like to decompress.
​- Bianka Georginis, 15-Year- Old Student
What I have learned from my friends at TTOHC: To trust in what I feel and not dismiss it as nonsense. To trust in my visions as being substance and real, not dismiss them as imaginary. To know that I can trust and share with others in a nurturing and supportive place free from judgment.
​- Robert D. Cubby, Retired
​Everything I learn at The Tree of Health Center helps me as well as the people I want to help.
Thank you for your knowledge.
- Holly McGrath
When I came to The Tree of Health to see Linda and Debra I wasn't sure what to expect. Their kind and gentle treatment has given me relief from the pain of my past, and equipped me with the tools I will need to
​deal with stresses and problems in everyday life. Thank You!!!
- Sue Lachenmayer
I have been coming to this center for years, and at this point, I really do consider Linda and Debra as family. These women have true gifts and are so passionate about their work. Classes and services range from meditation to Reiki and cranio sacral therapy - something for everyone to either begin to connect with their spiritual journey and energetic body or continue on their path and bond with likeminded people. Come to a monthly spiritual movie night to feel the place out and enjoy some great food and friends.
​- Vlada Koleva

​Can't say enough good things about it.

The Tree of Health Center is a lovely healing environment offering a wealth of healing modalities and workshops.  Linda is a gentle, and kind with soothing, calming energy.  Her massage techniques were instrumental in immediately releasing my anxiety and muscle tension.  I will definitely be returning.

About Our Services

Grief Counseling

"Claire is always so warm and welcoming!
​After the death of my daughter, I was overwhelmed. Now I have learned to redirect my sadness and anxiety and I always feel energized after our time together. I have given her name to several friends who are grieving, and in all sincerity, she helped me so much. I will be going back to her when I need support again!"
- Terri

CranioSacral Therapy

"I had a CranioSacral therapy session with Linda for the first time and loved it! During the session I could feel the fluid and energy moving through my body and after the session I felt like a giant weight had been lifted off of me. My mental stability has improved since my session and I have felt as though my body and spirit have been lighter and more at peace."
- Stephanie Blair, Student, Chester, NJ

"I had plantar fasciitis and I ended up spending over $135 trying to heal the pain. But I had one session of CST with Linda and I was healed."
- Parth Trivedi, Financial Analyst, New Jersey
"Linda has magic in her hands. I took 3 sessions with her and my sciatica was healed. I suffered from sciatica for 2 months and I tried all the medicines as well. However, Linda healed me in just three weeks. I highly recommend everyone suffering from joint pain to have a session with Linda."
​-Parth Trivedi, Financial Analyst, New Jersey

Emotional Freedom Techniques

"Debra Hollinrake is a skillful EFT practitioner. She helped me focus on issues that I had buried for so long and didn't realize how much they were still affecting my life! Debra helped me let go of these situations with compassion and a positive attitude."
- Carla Forsythe, Denville, NJ
x
"EFT with Debra Hollinrake has given me the tools needed to meet the future with more confidence and freedom. This is a simple but powerful technique done ever so skillfully by Debra that I can use the rest of my life to break chains that held me back and prevent new ones from taking hold. If you are tired of being tethered by old stories this is a most effective tool. Debra masterfully gets to the heart of an issue I had trouble articulating and focusing in on. I am so grateful!"
​-Lisa Yannelli
"I have been going to tree of health center for several months. I am doing the EFT - emotional freedom techniques, with Debra M. Hollinrake. I am very pleased with my progress. She has helped me overcome many things that have been hindering me, my entire life. I have grown in leaps and bounds.  I would recommend everyone to try EFT. It's amazing. When I leave The Tree of health Center I feel so wonderful, and my life is so much better because of her help. But with all practices you must do your home work. Simple to do home work and your results will be amazing you. I have been to counseling in several places and I think this is better than counseling. Thank you Debra and The Tree of Health Center." - Tammy
"Words cannot begin to express just how very grateful I am to have found the Tree of Health Center, and more specifically to have been blessed to get to know Debra Hollinrake. Upon the very first meeting, Debra makes you feel so very comfortable, as she genuinely supports you and creates a warm and safe space for reflection and growth. With Debra and the magic of EFT, I feel I have made more progress within the last few months on the journey to better understand myself, then I have with previous traditional therapists with whom I've known for years. Most recently, with Debra's coaching, I was able to recognize a pattern that I had created and became aware of tendencies of mine that allowed certain people to treat me negatively - with Debra's encouragement and support, I was able to have a face to face conversation with one specific person where I successfully stood in my own power and was able to clear the air. Thank you Debra for all that you've done to believe in me, and give me the tools and opportunities that have allowed me to make as much progress as I have thus far toward loving and accepting myself for who I am. Thank you for sharing your light with all of us and keep sparkling!!"
- Krystina Pastor
"I was struggling with my putting, especially short putts. I thought I'd try a different angle. In Debra, I found what proved to be the answer. Using EFT, She helped me eliminate mental and emotional barriers preventing me from playing my best. The first round of golf after practicing EFT with Debra, I made all my short putts and even drained a 90 footer! Debra allows you to be vulnerable and feel safe. She is very insightful and I enjoy working with her."
​-Marybeth Kohberger
"Debra Hollinrake is a skillful EFT practitioner. She helped me focus on issues that I had buried for so long and didn't realize how much they were still affecting my life! Debra helped me let go of these situations with compassion and a positive attitude."

Heal Yourself with Reiki

"I was very interested in Reiki and this class gave me a good taste and desire to make Reiki a daily practice in my life. I’m looking forward to the month-long challenge not only for the self-healing but also how I can imagine it will impact my creative processes."
- Carolyn Tordella

"Self Healing with Reiki was excellent. Easy to learn. This is a tool that everyone should have. Thank you Linda!"

Therapeutic Massage

"I have been a client of The Tree Of Health Center for the past two years. Because I have a history of back and neck issues, Linda has given me great relief of my pain, stiffness and insomnia.
​I highly recommend all the services at "The Center" - especially Therapeutic Massage.
- C.B, Retired Nurse from Newton, NJ

"Wonderful healing massages with Linda that have contributed to my healing spiritually and physically."
-Helen McNally
"After my massage with Linda on Thursday night, my long suffering neck was at peace and I got great night's sleep for a change. Thank you Linda!!"
​-Brenda VanWarner
"Thank you for the most amazing heart – releasing massage I’ve ever had. When I left your place a lot of things that I had buried deep within me came to light and I was finally able to let them go. Thank you for sitting and talking with me. You have such a big heart and I am so thankful my aunt got me that gift certificate to come see you. Before I left I looked at one of the prayer cards in your massage room, and I was quite delighted in what I read. The card stated “Let go! The river will safely carry you down the stream.” That was such a good omen to me because when I try to sit and meditate I always picture myself in a shallow creek with water running through me, taking each thought away. That prayer card signified what I needed to do. Also that Sunday I came home and talked with my dad about what I felt during my session, and he apologized for his actions. He told me he would be nicer to me and try to change his actions. We will see what happens. Either way, because of your touch I was able to confront what I kept hidden for so long, and if he changes or not I will still choose to love him – even if it is from afar. Thank you again and I hope life goes well! Until I see you again. "
- Nakita Dziegielewski

Hypnotherapy

"Professional, safe, effective. I had been to another hypnotherapist who was professional but not effective. Tim helped me define my goals and offered helpful suggestions that we were able to incorporate in the treatment plan. After our first
successful session, I was excited to continue working with Tim, and found I was able to reach my goals quickly. Hypnotherapy is a valuable resource that I continue to use on my own, both to
achieve business and personal goals. I have gone back for a separate session to receive help with a new goal. I will continue to do so in the future as needed.Thank you Tim!"
​- Barbara W.
x
"After continuously procrastinating my work for a big project, I moved forward after just one session with Tim. A few days later, I was falling back into my old habit. Tim saved the day with another session, and I am now still getting my work done in a timely way. I'm amazed at how easily Tim's hypnotism worked to really change a pattern. I intend to use him soon so that I can eat only healthy foods more easily. I'm pretty disciplined, but I think hypnotism take my focus off of "avoiding" certain foods. He says hypnotism for weight management is pretty easy!"
-Laurie Scoblionko
"I went to see Tim Ringenberg for help with a life issue that I had been trying to heal from and had haunted me for many years.  Through the hypnotherapy session I was able to gain personal freedom, release guilt and shame, and feel in control of my life again.  Tim was extremely sensitive and empowering.  I would recommend his services for anyone wanting to gain closure and completion for their life issues."
​-Melissa
"I really enjoyed your class on self-hypnosis! The techniques I learned were easy to use and I got results right away. The talks were fun and informative. I gained insight into my "triggers" causing anxiety and learned practical ways of letting go of emotions which no longer serve me. I recommend this class to anyone who seeks to stop an unwanted habit, tap into their subconscious to overcome unpleasant memories, or up their game."
- Playwright Amy Drake comments on a Self-Hypnosis Seminar taught by Tim

Reiki Gathering (Share & Clinic)

"I loved this Reiki share, not that I don't always, but this one was especially rewarding. I can honestly say it is helping me in my practice on myself and it is also strengthening my abilities and it is most definitely showing from the comments from others and the people I worked on. This was the first time I worked on two different people, and as a practitioner I felt the difference in the energies of the two folks I worked on. I am so happy and blessed to have you and TTOHC in my life, it's made a huge difference in the happiness I experience on a daily level. Thank you again for hosting it and being my Reiki Master. 
​Love you so much!!! Blessings and Peace –"

Awesome session. I felt soooooo relaxed. Felt 3 or 4 good releases. Camelia worked patiently as she helped me ease my busy brain. The rest flowed like honey. Thank you, Everyone!  (Debra)
-
Nanette was thorough and very nice. The session was relaxing.
As soon as we started our sessions, my feet started to pop and felt vibration in my whole body was very hot. I felt cooler when it was over. I feel more balanced and at ease, very relaxing.
-
Nanette was amazing!!  Energy from her hands could be felt throughout my entire body, with a warm gentle circulation. Clearing "stuck" energy is a must for everyone to stay healthy both emotionally and physically. Thanks
-
Nanette has a very calming energy. It was a beautiful, peaceful 
experience. Thank you.
-
This experience with Nanette was very opening. I felt the flow of energy move thru my body. I left feeling tingley and warm
-
Camelia was just awesome - took me into a beautiful energy space and just love her energy and I feel her compassion. Thank you all.
-
Nanette is a wonderful Reiki practitioner. She is extremely intuitive and was able to tune into what my needs were. She is kind and answered any questions. The Tree of Health is a comfortable and relaxing setting for healing!
-
Jodi performed Reiki on me and I felt very relaxed during and after the session. Asked her to explain anything that happened to me and her and she obliged. I will definitely do it again
-
First time experiencing anything as peaceful and relaxing in a long time. I feel so much peace and uplifting.  It is a for sure Tree of Life. Thank You for the great knowledge
"The Reiki clinic was wonderful yesterday. After filling out the paperwork and slipping off my shoes, Kathleen asked if I wanted to be saged. Of course I did. Then she asked if I'd like the chakra essential oils. Of course I did. I applied them myself under Kathleen's guidance. Then I went into one of the rooms for my Reiki session. As I have a custom to do, I didn't tell the practitioner where my pain was,. I'm always curious if they find them without direction or prompting. Not only did Nanette get every point, she brought up my hands and stomach areas. Sure enough about an hour afterward, my hands felt stiff (result of Lyme disease twice) . The solar plexus concern I didn't understand and would have benefited if I asked about it. After a brief sitting on the couch and two glasses of water I felt very good. So much so that I walked 6 miles on the Sussex Branch Trail and slept in utter peace waking refreshed. A wonderful day. Kudos to Kathleen and her team, well done." - Robert (Bob), Retired police officer
"Great session! Could feel Camelia was a little nervous in the beginning as this was her first clinic experience after her Reiki I training a couple of weeks ago, plus she was working on her teacher! Camelia made me feel very comfortable. I could feel energy moving and pain moving out of my right hand (thumb), which I had sprained the day before. Plus Camelia picked up on the energy coming out of my right hip, which I have sciatica at times. Totally great experience! I will be back!!" Linda Mitchell, Founder and Director of The Tree of Health Center
"Wonderful amazing experience! I felt a calm I've never felt before! Nanette was so warm and welcoming and so intuitive with knowing what I needed and where I needed the energy. Would recommend TTOHC to everyone!!" - Stacey
"It was a wonderful, relaxing, spiritual experience. I felt a strong, positive connection with Jodi. I am leaving with a nurturing energy. It's a great feeling! - Carolyn
"First time to Reiki, and it was a very pleasant experience, made me feel open, relaxed, and my body felt very heavy and tingled. Definitely something I would do again. I loved my healer. Camelia truly made this experience!" - Breanna
"An amazing experience - peaceful and calming with the environment and all of you. The hands on with Jodi was very pleasant, and inviting to realize the built up tension and the release of tension I felt. I loved the entire moments."
– Marjorie
"I’m always grateful to Linda for teaching her wisdom and experience to me. Great love for her and her knowledge."

"Absolutely energizing and wonderful!" - Jennifer Thompson
"The Reiki Clinic was a spiritual experience. My brain shifted somehow & I immediately felt lighter. I relaxed so much and never wanted it to end. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
- Debra Hollinrake
Linda: thank you for this opportunity to share. I have to admit I was a skeptic coming into this session especially during the clinic time. Jackie asked f I had any concerns about being touched. I told her I have no problem with that. I pay attention to my right shoulder as it was bothering me. I never mentioned my feet always feeling cold. From the top of my head, on down the chakras. I experienced warmth and a tingling sensation similar to what you feel with STEM therapy. When she touched my feet the feeling of cold disappeared and from that point until today they have felt warm once again. I'm no longer the skeptic, convinced that something very positive happened during the clinic time. I will be coming back for the Reiki Share. Just not this May session as I'm walking a 5K that day. I will be taking e Helping Yourself with Reiki class and will resume attending the Reiki Share sessions. Thank you he work you are all doing.

It was a wonderful time...the vibes were on point and the questions asked made you really reflect on yourself. Thank you for the experience :)

Yoga for Kids

"My daughter Vivian is 5 and loves taking yoga classes with Miss Julie! Being her first experience with yoga, she learned a lot through games and music, as well as how to calm herself, practice patience and about kindness and making friends. Miss Julie was excellent with all of the children, always acknowledging their own unique selves and making them feel special, which went a long way in increasing her self-confidence and self-esteem!"
-Natalie Smith
x
"In the storm of life, Miss Julie is an ocean of calm. Her yoga for kids class has helped my daughter deal with her anxiety in a positive and serene way. Julie taught her several breathing techniques associated with yoga, but then she helped her connect the dots between using those breathing techniques outside of yoga, in times of stress. This has been so helpful. My daughter looks forward to her weekly yoga class and loves to tell me what she learned after each session. During drop off and pick up, I see how Miss Julie interacts with the kids. She gives them her full attention and makes each and every one of her students feel like they are THE most important thing in the world. I have tremendous respect for this woman and am so grateful for her!"
-Kristin (Mom of Maddy, 8)

"Chair Yoga with Julie has helped me physically with much less back pain. I have more energy and renewed joy in living. I’m happy and amazed!! Thank you Julie."
- Mary Smyth

Mindfulness for Kids

"The children’s play has gotten more creative and some of our non-players are getting involved now too, which means less behavioral problems. They have clearer understanding and better language to express their anger. The repetition with the breathing and yoga helped with the retention. The parents learned from the children by explaining why they made their crafts. I can’t thank you enough for bringing mindfulness to my center."

Sanctuary Meditation

"I have meditated for several years but something told me to take this sanctuary class at Tree of Health. I’m so glad I did. It was one of the most meaningful and the most relaxed I have felt. There is an overwhelming amount of love you feel when you walk through the door. I was more than pleased to have discovered this place and love Debra. Her energy is infectiously amazing. She was the perfect match for me. Looking forward to many more classes being offered here."

MARCI®

You know Linda, Jen and I have't seen you in a long time, but I gotta say... when we used to come see you in NJ for massage, I was at a pretty crazy time in my life. My mom was dying of
cancer, I was just getting going in my business, and I was trying to change my lifestyle for the better in a lot of ways. Your mentions of being mindful and [the fact that you have given me a new perspective on life, was a big factor in coming to the realization that happiness is a choice, and so is worry. The ability to step back from my problems, be mindful of all I have around me, and realize that "this too shall pass" has really saved me in times when my panic/worry/fear would have stopped me in my tracks or set me back in life. So, thanks for that.

This was my first experience with Julie. Was not really sure what to expect. I was surprised it ended early and a bit disappointed. It was an expensive workshop so not sure how I feel about it. Interested in exploring and journeying more and look into soul retrieval / dissociation that resonated with me.

About Our Education Classes

Reiki I Certification

"Reiki I certification, taught by Linda Mitchell, was an excellent learning experience. She combines practical advice and spiritual insights on how Reiki can be used for both self-healing or in service to others. Linda also shared her expertise on how to develop a business in the holistic healing arts. The learning materials provided are a valuable resource which I continue to refer to, and Linda presents unique materials to her training when compared to friends who have taken other Reiki trainings. After a long work week, I left the three day weekend course feeling refreshed and excited to begin my Reiki practice."
- Rebecca Grabowski, RN Oncology
x
"My experience in the Reiki class was quite phenomenal Linda Mitchell's personal insight to the class makes you feel we are all one in mind, body and spirit. I don't know what I actually was expecting to come away from this course with, but it certainly exceeded my expectations. You find a sense of calm-peacefulness at the same time energy flowing and being channeled to another just by intentions. It was emotional and spiritual learning to meditate and placing yourself in a complimentary care. Linda Mitchell can bring the best out of you. I met 3 other women in the class who I greatly admired for their individual accomplishments in their lives and know they will attain whatever they were looking for in the class we attended together. If you want to come away with harmony and balance in your life and have energy fields flow to others, THIS IS THE CLASS FOR YOU. Thank You Linda Mitchell."

"I have been so touched by my experience this past weekend with you and Vlada. I knew that there was a something I was missing and now I know what it was. I was missing the inner most part of me that I put away in order to exist in the world that I thought I wanted to live in. I know now that it is that inner part of me that needs to shape my world. Learning about Reiki and practicing it has answered so many questions that I have had lingering in the corners of my mind. I have had a few amazing experiences while self healing and meditating since our time together. It is as if there is a space in my mind that I had visited a long time ago and had forgotten about... thru meditating and practicing with you I have not only remembered that space but have had the joy of visiting it again. Thank you so very much. I am looking forward to continuing my Reiki journey with you and The Tree of Health Center..."

Miscellaneous Testimonials & Thoughtful Words

Open Focus

"The first lesson I learned at The Tree Of Health Center was awareness. Awareness of others, my surroundings, and most importantly: awareness of myself. That was one of the main issues that had held me back from healing. Over the past four years of my life I have been dealing with chronic lymes disease and I had tried everything. Over nineteen different doctors all ranging from traditional medicine to alternative paths. Every day was a struggle, I would get out of bed and say, “Ok, let’s get through this, just put a smile on your face and push through.” I would constantly push myself and I ignored what my body was telling me. 
But the Tree Of Health Center helped me become aware of my body and how important it is to be conscious of what you are doing. I learned skills that would help me release all the emotions that I just kept pushing down because that was what I did to survive. I learned how to take the time to relax and think of myself. All of these lessons have helped me heal and see myself and the world around me in a new light. 
I will be honest with you: it gets tough. You will most likely cry and feel frustrated. You may think that you aren’t seeing results fast enough or your time could be spent better. But just take a deep breath... Inhale... Exhale... And think of what this amazing team can do for your future. You may have different beliefs or realities, but the main goal for everyone everywhere is to get to a place where you can achieve greatness. This team of caring healers will support and guide you to this place of success. Just have a little faith, because they already believe in you the moment you walk in and they give you one of their classic hugs (just go with it- by the end of your journey these hugs are your new normal.) 
​With love and sparkling light, I wish you the best,"
~Kia Sabo (a High School student who is crushing it)

Happy Interns!

House Clearing & Blessing
"Working as an intern for TTOHC has been possibly the single best decision I could have made. I gained more than just financial experience and wish I didn’t have to go back to school so early. Linda and Debra have been welcoming, loving, and supportive of my work since day one. I would not trade this experience for anything."
- Vincent Ginefra, Financial Advisor, Oak Ridge, NJ

"Being an intern at The Tree of Health Center is a privilege. The close knit environment of the owners and all the other interns not only makes the internship enjoyable, but has also helped me learn more than I ever could have at a big company. The trust and responsibility that Debra and Linda give to all the interns allows for a higher level of learning and will increase the level of experience gained. If I had the opportunity to intern here again, I would. It is so easy to become emotionally attached to the people at TTOHC and the company itself."
- Stephanie Blair, Marketing Intern, Chester, NJ
"Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you this summer! I have learned so much from you not only about Public Relations, but also about myself. I can be shy sometimes, but you welcomed me with open arms and I am so grateful for that. Thank you for bringing such love and positivity into my life. I am eternally grateful, and I will bring the lessons from TTOHC with me where ever I go! You made such a positive impact on me – you have no idea."
- Mariah Christian, Public Relations Intern
"I am so grateful for the experience I had with the center. It was such a great opportunity for me, I learned a great deal about accounting software, team work and even about myself. The peak performance bits at the start of the meetings were very thought provoking and made me realize there is so much importance in living in the present. I could not be any happier with the time I spent working with the center and I can't thank the both of you enough for making it such a new and wonderful experience."
- Andrew Ognibene
Two of the most amazing people I've met, Linda and Debra. You guys sure inspired me. Great service, great center!
- Danny Joe
​Linda came to my home to perform a house cleansing and blessing. Her warmth and humble nature provided a safe environment for us to join spiritually in our work. Linda's approach was individualized and she tailored her approach to mine and my family's needs. The experience was meaningful, altering, and empowering. I would recommend her services to anyone... Linda brought peace and healing to our home.

Debra's Inspirational Presentations

“Extremely positive and illuminating experience!  Debra’s disposition and delivery of information are excellent, the students all seemed engaged with what she had to say. Debra also gave concrete actions that people could employ to begin developing mindfulness in their own life and that is monumental. I would be so happy Debra would come back and make this a semester based event.”
