Reviews for the sanctuary

"This is a lovely, quiet, peaceful retreat for those who appreciate simple things. The best of both worlds; a comfortable, clean, wonderful bed with a snuggly wood stove all while listening to owls, birds and raindrops on the roof. Tatiana was a gracious host who prepared a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended." - Betsy

"A perfect spot for a midsummer getaway. Tatiana and her family are very welcoming and everything was just what I needed to escape the hustle and bustle!" - Erin

"Very pleasant and secluded, delicious breakfast, kind hospitality." - Benjamin

"An absolutely beautiful place to stay and hope to return!" - Jon

"My partner and I stayed here for two nights and absolutely adored it. We left the yurt only to go walk through the expansive woods. The wood stove kept us plenty warm, the breakfast provided was made from scratch and delicious, and lying on the sheepskin rugs listening to barred owls and other creatures was an unexpected luxury. Using the facilities in the main house was easy and comfortable. Our hosts were very welcoming, kind, and understanding when we slept in past breakfast. 10/10 would yurt again." - Chelsea

"I could not have been more content with my stay here. Tatiana and her family were generous and welcoming. The yurt was cozy and clean, and the wood-burning stove kept me warm even through a 10ºF night. I would stay here again in a heartbeat." - Anna

"Tatiana & her family are great, she answered all of my questions and offered advice. This is a beautiful space and at night is magical. There are beautiful woods you can walk in and it is a perfect relaxing get away." - Audrey

 "Tatiana and her family were amazing hosts. The yurt was really beautiful in the middle of the forest. Tatiana cooked a delicious breakfast with local products the next morning and gave us recommendation on what to visit in the area. The experience was truly unforgettable!" - Clara

Testimonials for working with Daniel and Tatiana

"Daniel's very gentle presence and his deep spiritual intelligence made it much easier for me to be vulnerable and relax into the session. I felt a remarkable energy flowing through and between us in several moments during his work, and it left me quite moved. I felt he was attending to levels of my being that few, including myself, often see or interact with. Daniel isn't just a gentle, intelligent, and sensitive man, he is also a highly studied and trained artist and healer, and working with him is a rare gift. I left feeling replenished, yes, but also with a heightened awareness of parts of myself I can further ignite. Empowering!" - Avery 

“I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Tatiana. Our session was both gentle and transformative. She was able to tap into trauma that I wasn’t aware was deeply affecting me, and gently guided me in releasing it from my body. I immediately felt a huge shift and a powerful wave of release. Tatiana’s sweet nature and unique gifts create a safe space for processing. It was a profoundly beautiful and healing experience.”

​"Daniel helped me to see how much stress I was holding in my body and find ways that I could release and relax. The bodywork he offered interrupted my usual way of coping and dropped me down into a sense of peaceful awareness and ease. I began to get underneath my bodies' holding patterns. I’ve been able to bring myself to that place on own since my work with him. Daniel’s presence is very open and compassionate, and he gives great feedback in order to integrate what happened on the table. I’m excited to continue!" - Rythea 

"Tatiana has a broad and deep background in a variety of healing modalities and brings a compassionate, grounded presence to every session. I feel my ongoing work with Tatiana has helped me to become physically and spiritually stronger, overcome fears that had been deeply held for years, and live more fully in alignment with my life’s purpose. I wholeheartedly recommend Tatiana as a spiritual healer and coach” –  Josiah

​"I wished I lived closer to his practice! When I came to Daniel my whole body felt out of sync when I lay down for the session. I rose feeling replenished and more physically in balance and emotionally rested. When someone can help you to get to a neutral and relaxed state where healing can take place, well, that is a very special person. Daniel is quiet, gentle, focused and sincere in his work. Wonderful therapist." - Andrea S

“Tatiana - our session was very helpful for me. I am starting to get some messages and information from my guidance about the underlying issues from my past that are making me scared to move forward. But they are coming because you helped me raise my vibration and step into the light. You are wonderful.” - Rythea

"Daniel has a wonderful healing touch.  During my session with him he brought me to a state of calm that helped me gain insight into a major issue in my life.  After the session we talked about how he was tuning into the issue in my body.  I was very impressed by his insight, as it helped me move forward in a more confident way regarding the issue.  Even though the session was months ago, the insight I gained during our session is still helping me on a daily basis. I wish he lived closer so I could have treatments with him more often!" - KT

“Working with Tatiana has changed my personal, professional and spiritual life. When I first began working with Tatiana I was unsure that there was anything else a coach could help me with, pompously feeling as if I had “tried it all” but very struck by this idea of spiritual coaching. I didn’t know what it meant but I wanted to give it a try. As we began our work, I observed Tatiana engaging her strong spiritual intuition as she listened, reflected and began to help me find ways to guide my process through tapping in to my own innate spiritual sense. It has been a process of learning to listen to my own intuition, to trust that intuition and to hold myself gently in those moments when my intellectual mind overrides that intuition. I can report that almost every time, the intellect was wrong and my intuition was right. 
I also had the pleasure of working with Tatiana and my partner through couples sessions. After just two couple sessions, Tatiana was able to get us unstuck and help us lay the foundation we need moving forward to be able to deal with the small repetitive conflicts that can arise when two people bring their lives together. 
At the conclusion of my work with Tatiana I was invited to spend an overnight at the Sacred Gateway Sanctuary. That was an extremely profound opportunity. For a busy mom entrepreneur such as myself, having even 20 hours entirely to myself was life-changing.  Being able to reflect on my discoveries with my spiritual coach, be nourished and to be free from the distraction of my technology made that overnight so much more powerful. During my retreat I was able to reflect, respond and make an action plan moving forward on how to really leave behind some very painful patterns. Through the clarity I have gained in my work with Tatiana, I have learned to make the best decisions for myself, feel solid in those decisions, and follow through on those decisions.”

​"My first visit with Daniel was quite amazing. The treatment felt like "prayer" to me, in that I was filled with a kind of inward blessing. It indeed felt healing and extremely peaceful. I would definitely recommend Daniel for anyone looking for some grounding both spiritually and physically, and for overall wellness. I left feeling energized and creative but also relaxed and calm. Beautiful!" - Cara
