Join Rose for this two-hour live event, where she connects with loved ones who have crossed over, delivering evidential messages from spirit to members of the audience. These messages often include validation, shared memories, personality traits, and heartfelt communication, offering reassurance that our loved ones remain present and connected.

Rose DeGiorgio is a Spiritual Medium, Founder of Heaven On Earth Healing Centre.

From a very early age, Rose has had a natural ability to connect with the spirit world, offering meaningful communication between individuals and their loved ones who have passed.

Her work is centered on delivering messages that bring comfort, clarity, healing, and a deep sense of peace. Through her compassionate and grounded approach, Rose creates a safe and supportive environment where clients can experience connection, understanding, and emotional healing.

This experience is designed to bring:

A sense of comfort and peace

Emotional healing and closure

Validation that life continues beyond the physical

A deeper understanding of how spirit communicates

Rose works with the spirit world, allowing spirit to guide the connections that come forward during the event.

While not everyone in attendance will receive a personal reading, all guests will have the opportunity to witness the process of mediumship and experience the profound ways in which loved ones communicate from the other side. Many find that even observing the connections brings a strong sense of comfort, insight, and shared healing.

Yup.

It’s here.

Reformers at Vicki Tree. Quietly arrived in Spring and privates occurred all summer to our Pilates regulars.

We will transition now into privates and small groups of 1-4.

Quality instruction. Focus on progressions, stability, mobility and body awareness. Instructors trained with high level certifications. Body Harmonics Certified Level 1& 2.

We have been testing over the summer with over 100 hrs of one on one sessions to prep and prepare quality at Vicki Tree.

We are full for rest of summer, but semi - private to small group classes plus more privates coming early September.

Interested? Shoot us an email and we will put you on the list for when we open to everyone!
