We are honored that the Modern Mystic community often asks us for recommended healers. It is with pleasure that we share Resource Yourself, a curated, publicized list of these healers, for you, Modern Mystics.

In this Resource Yourself series, we interview and feature each of these healers, one at a time. Below we interview therapist Adela Raffa.

Adela is in the Roswell, Georgia area and offers virtual sessions as well. Thank you, Adela:

WHAT 

Modern Mystic Shop: How do you explain your expertise?

Adela Raffa: I help people make powerful, positive change utilizing Gestalt therapy, NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming), and mindfulness techniques.

WHO

Modern Mystic Shop: Tell us a little about your story. How did you get introduced to this healing work? When did you start your business?

Adela Raffa: I was introduced to gestalt and NLP about fifteen plus years ago in my personal quest for growth and healing. My entire world, specifically my inner landscape, changed so much that I decided to leave my corporate job, and went back to school learn about these powerful modalities. I've been in my private practice going on five years.

WHY

Modern Mystic Shop: What's your 'why'? What keeps you going, gets you out of bed every day?

Adela Raffa: I'm a life-long learner and I'm passionate about personal growth, healing and development: my own and other's. I wanted to be a teacher growing up and that's mainly how I view myself now. I'm teaching subjects we weren't taught [in school], such as emotional hygiene, courageous conversations, healthy relationships, and effective communication with self and others.

I get excited about teaching people simple tools to become the best version of themselves despite - and maybe because - of their childhood, circumstances or environment. That gets my creative energies flowing every single day.

Modern Mystic Shop:  Do you consider yourself a 'Modern Mystic?' If so, how do you define being a Modern Mystic? 

Adela Raffa: I love the term 'Modern' because it describes someone who advocates or practices a departure from traditional values, and is here and now; in the present, with a fresh, new outlook. And 'Mystic' is all about intuition, inner wisdom and spirituality. In short, yes, I do consider myself a Modern Mystic! And, I'm thrilled that there's now a community to explore what that means for people. 

Modern Mystic Shop: We'd love to know, do you have a favorite or go-to Modern Mystic Shop product?

Adela Raffa: As far as products, I collect crystals, love sage and attend Sunday School [at the shop] when able.
