Healing Homes and Hearts seeks like-minded healers to work together in new Springfield location

Healing Homes and Hearts has found a new home for itself in downtown Springfield. 

Originally established in Yellow Springs, this locally owned small business has moved to Springfield in the hopes of bringing together holistic healers in the area to establish a center for spiritual, physical, and emotional healing. 

Healing Homes and Hearts wants to create an opportunity for those in the community who are passionate about soothing others, those drawn to natural medicine, and those in search of experienced holistic healers.

Mandy Carter and her wife and co-founder Amanda Mullins have opened the Healing Homes & Hearts Center.The healing center is located in one of the city's oldest buildings, which was constructed as a home for an engineer of agricultural machinery in the heart of the 1800s. 

At this new location, Healing Homes and Hearts has big plans to establish a network of healers, especially those who are licensed to provide the relief of alternative medicine. Their immediate goal is to provide event space for tenants and group events for like-minded individuals and healers. The LLC provides spaces for rent to healers of all corners of the natural medicine world.

This includes a furnished room for rent by the day, two rooms for rent for full-time practitioners, and an event room that can also be used for collaborations and can be leased for events of up to 20 people.

Company founder, Mandy Carter, is a Reiki Master teacher and a Level 2 Practitioner of Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). This method of deep healing was developed by the late Delores Cannon. Carter says these modalities guide people inward to assist them in healing and stress relief from tensions in their own lives. It is intended to provide a resource for the progression from current and past traumas. 

The location will also provide classes for others who are drawn to this form of healing to teach them to perform it for those around them. The courses are based on the idea that the lessons will empower individuals to recognize their own healing abilities.  

Carter would like to provide a community for healers and those who are otherwise interested in the discipline to exercise their abilities and "allow this energy to develop in a special way," she says. 

An event room that can also be used for collaborations and can be leased for events of up to 20 people.She explains all of these methods were established within the past century and describes them as a "relaxing, cathartic, soothing and intuitive exercise. In hopes of calming the nervous system and providing an energy boost from situations which may be depleting them in any number of ways — including chemotherapy, and past relationships."

Sessions last from an hour to 90 minutes and include a therapeutic segment in which participants speak their intentions for what they hope to address during their treatment. Some participants describe feeling a “chill” or “coolness” washing over them during their session recap. Others might have vivid dreams.

Carter has always felt driven to this industry. “I just felt an inner message calling me to help others with their innate healing.” She came across Reiki and QHHT and started her training in 2019, just as Covid-19 was starting to spread worldwide. The kind of Reiki she practices is Usui/Holy fire. It is offered in two levels that provide an introduction to the method, followed by a six-month implementation period to apply it to your daily life, and finally returning to acquire the master-level education.

Carter, alongside her wife and co-founder Amanda Mullins, appreciate Springfield’s local government and the Small Business Development Center, especially for their efforts in boosting economic exchange and development in the downtown area. 

An event room that can also be used for collaborations and can be leased for events of up to 20 people.Having fallen in love with the new location, Carter is thrilled to be able to provide a larger space for her classes and exercises than she had in her previous location. The business' current layout offers the opportunity for expansion and partnership and Carter is pleased she no longer has to use her home as a classroom.

Carter is particularly excited about the proximity to the downtown area. Located at 509 South Fountain Avenue, the business is within the historic district, close to the hub of the city.
