Sound Healing Instruments & Training
The team at Sunreed Instruments is incredibly helpful, and I love being able to listen to different instruments online before choosing. It’s easy to get delightfully sidetracked browsing everything from singing bowls, tuning forks, Koshi chimes—they truly have just about everything. https://sunreed.com/
Metaphysical Store
Enchanted Botanicals – my go-to for handcrafted, high-vibration items such as loose incense, tea, and intention candles. I joke that I have something from this shop in every room of my home. Deb is incredibly knowledgeable and magical herself—if she creates it, you can be sure it’s amazing. 💫 https://www.enchantedbotanicals.com/
Crystal Shops, Gemstone Jewelry, Wood Rattles
Two online crystal shops I highly recommend:
- www.dhcrystalcompany.com Dh Crystal Company / Beth (owner)
- www.moonrisecrystals.com Moonrise Crystals / Julie (owner)
Gemstone Jewelry
- https://thepeachtreejewelry.com/ Peach Tree Jewelry / Amy (owner)
For wood rattles, I love Earnest Efforts on Etsy. Earnest and Ellie are the owners and based out of Oregon.
Now, you might be wondering if I get commission from any of these shops—nope. I just love supporting kind people and sharing high-quality resources.
