Amy Bean and Radiance Healing Arts | Small Business Branding & Visuals Photography in Portland, OR

ByLindley Ashline

Radiance Healing Arts provides an eclectic blend of intuitive sessions, including various therapeutic massage and manual therapy techniques, Reiki, aromatherapy, spa services and compassionate listening.  These sessions are offered by a licensed massage therapist and physical therapist assistant, Reiki Master and empath, communication trainer and lifelong healer committed to supporting your needs for balance, rest and rejuvenation as your Radiant Self comes back to light.

Two boxes of tarot cards and a number of crystals for crystal healing and energy work rest on a colorful fabric cloth in green, red and orange tones.

For Amy’s session, we focused on environmental, “day in the life”-type portraits, moving through welcoming a client to reading tarot cards to working with chakra healing and crystals.
