We hope you can join the YCEA in celebrating the grand opening of The Sacred Center of Healing at 2550 Kingston Road, Suite 225, York, Pa 17402 The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will take place Wednesday, December 3 at 10:00 am.  A message from The Scared Center of Healing: I will be opening The Sacred Center of Healing on 12/3/25 at 10am located at The Kingston Center, 2550 Kingston Road, Ste. 225, York, PA 17402. At The Sacred Center of Healing, Kristy Darby will offer Spinal Flow for any age, infant to 100+. Spinal Flow Technique is a modality where the practitioner facilitates the client's innate ability to heal themselves. People have three types of blockages in their spine--physical, chemical, and emotional. Usually, there are layers of these blockages from birth until the present day caused from various stress throughout their lives. These blockages cause chronic pain and dis-ease within the body because messages cannot travel between the brain and body. Spinal Flow facilitates the ability for the body to find these blockages and release them over time. It is a very beautiful journey, and Kristy is very excited to be the first full-time practitioner in York County. She believes that anyone can heal and all people will rise. She is excited to hold space for her clients, so they can finally be heard, seen, and heal. More information on the event can be found by contacting Katelin Tyler via email at [email protected]   We appreciate the generosity of Alternative HR for serving as our Ribbon Cutting Presenting Sponsor. Thank you to our Ribbon Cutting Gold Sponsor Penn National Insurance.
