Carol Gallentine
LMT, Ordained Spiritual Minister
Carol Gallentine loves unraveling mysteries and life is just one BIG mystery waiting to be explored. Kayaking, swimming, and snorkeling, connecting with the water spirits is a favorite pastime of hers, in the summer months. Mermaid visions dance across her heart, as she meditatively floats on her favorite lake. She has a kinship with the Dolphins, having worked with them in the Bahamas in association with the Upledger Institute. Carol loves walking in nature, anytime of the year, because it brings healing to her soul.
Drumming her soul's beat, alone, or in Drum Circles, using her voice in song to inspire others, creating new vistas with the words of her poetry and budding novel is one of her lifelong passions. Putting brush to canvas, playing with color values, and bringing forth powerful emotional and spiritual vistas, brings her peace.
Carol loves spending time with her family on outings, or just snuggled by a warm fire in deep conversation.
Carol believes life is a journey and she lives her life to its fullest.
Carol’s Professional Journey:
Carol Gallentine, LMT has over 50 years of experience working with energy. In these anxiety-driven times we live in, Carol utilizes body-based therapies to aid her clients and discover blocks that are keeping them from moving forward in their lives.
As a well seasoned Spiritual Mentor, Carol has a variety of innovative programs to inspire new possibilities for her clients through self-realization, grounded in a safe, healing space. The programs give her clients the opportunity to pull together their frayed threads, reweaving them towards healing.
All of Carol's work is energy-based, and she utilizes all of her training to generate innovative, life-changing possibilities. Acting as a Spiritual Midwife, she encourages her clients, using creative exercises and detailed conversations to aid the client's mind, body, and spiritual transformation. There is also client accountability to enhance their focus and to make healthier decisions to support new pathways for self-realization.
Carol's other talents include being a Licensed Massage Therapist, REIKI Master/Teacher, Certified Ecstatic Trance Facilitator (Cuyamungue Institute), Past Life Regression, and Ordained Spiritualist Minister. She is an Advanced CranioSacral Therapist, utilizing all of her many years of training from the Upledger Institute, working with a client's holistic structure. All of the above therapies may help with anxiety, stress, muscle tension, TMJ problems, headaches, high blood pressure, and body, mind, and spirit balancing.
Her latest passion is Sound Immersion Bath/Therapy. Sound is a vibration and vibration is a frequency, and our bodies respond to the harmonics of all the instruments, helping us to open to new levels of healing. The experience of the sound bath may calm and help rebalance the mind, lower blood pressure, improve breathing and circulation, strengthen the immune system and improve a person's mood. The sound can also flood the brain with dopamine, and release oxytocin, a natural pain reliever. The various harmonics impact our emotional, cognitive, and motor skills.
Instruments used in the Sound Bath are Tibetan and Crystal Singing bowls, bells, drums, rattles, vocal toning, and the majestic GONG. All of the harmonics can put us in a deep, meditative state.
Carol holds Sound Immersion group sessions once a month, usually on the first Saturday, at Essential Energies.
She also offers private group and one on one sessions by appointment.
“Using all of my eclectic skills, I strive to provide my client with a unique, tailored based, healing experience.” Carol Gallentine, LMT
