Lotus Guidance & Consultations, LLC, has opened a new office at 3804 Church Road, in Mount Laurel. Owned by Margaret Lafontant, the holistic private practice provides therapeutic Reiki and counseling services for personal wellness, trauma and addictions.

Counseling sessions at Lotus Guidance take a fresh approach by integrating talk therapy with Reiki, a Japanese healing technique based on the idea that the universal healing energy can be transferred through the hands.

“Most of us have experienced pain at some point in our lives that has affected our thoughts, mood and behavior in a negative way,” comments Lafontant, a certified Reiki master and trained counselor with more than 11 years of experience. She holds a Master of Science degree in psychology and research and is currently a counseling psychology Ph.D. candidate. “In the worst of cases, chronic pain can lead to depression, immobility and drug addiction. I want people to become aware that emotional issues and stress can manifest in the body as chronic back pain, skin conditions and even fibromyalgia. Combining Reiki and counseling creates a synergetic balance of mind and body that provides optimal healing.”

In addition to client visits, Lotus Guidance & Consultations also hosts workshops and seminars open to the community.
