Unique Blessings Spiritual & New Age Gift Shop opened in March. Located at 111 Church Hill Road, in a compact brick building that formerly housed Mr Turtle’s School, partners Starr Boch and Jeriann Rabbitt are pleased to offer an array of healing opportunities and gifts to soothe the soul of any recipient.

Ms Boch offers spiritual readings guided by a person’s personal angels. A spiritual reading can connect a person with those from the past or present, and bring comfort and understanding to daily life, she explained. She is also able to read objects through touch.

Ms Rabbitt is a reiki energy healer. Reiki is a means of balancing the mind and body, and aids the body’s natural ability to heal. Each reiki session works to open the chakras, life force centers that correspond to points on the physical body.

Unique Blessings presents special healing classes throughout the year, including Sound Bowl Healing, energy dancing, and special guest readers and classes. A complete list of current and upcoming events can be found at www.uniqueblessings.org.

“A lot of people are coming in and they thank us for being here,” said Ms Boch. “People are coming back all the time, too, just to get a hug or talk,” she said, adding that she and Ms Rabbitt are pleased with the response to the business.

Gift givers will find a selection of handmade jewelry from local artists, locally crafted dream catchers, crystals, stones, candles, and essential oils artfully displayed throughout the shop. Handmade soaps, summer wear, and sun hats are sold at Unique Blessings, and the complete G-Maher professional skin care line is available at the shop.

Unique Blessings Spiritual & New Age Gift Shop is open Monday through Saturday, from 10 am to 6 pm. Sundays are by appointment only.

To make an appointment for a reading or reiki session, call 203-364-9303. Walk-ins are welcome.
