Marge Basinger
Great Grandmother
"I am grateful for your sacred, beautiful space and ceremony. This was my first Acacia ceremony. I didn't know exactly what was going to happen, but your prep videos clearly helped me understand the overall experience and what was possible.
From the emails, videos, and your energy, I felt safe to allow whatever needed to happen. From follow-up texts before ceremony I felt comfortable and at ease before even stepping foot into your sacred space."
Ana F
Court Stenographer & Coach
“Your retreat was quite special and I loved the safe space to let my authentic self explore herself, have a voice, and connect with others. I am a new person. I have so much clarity now. My friends see it and I have to say thank you and acknowledge you to them. You are a model of who I want to become.”
