Kathleen Haase worked as a preschool teacher before embarking on her alternative healing journey, feeling dismissed by Western medicine.
Today, she is the owner of the Harmonic Wellness Centre in northeast Calgary — a bastion of holistic practices, featuring one of nine harmonic eggs in Alberta.
The Press recently sat down with Hasse to talk about everything from the power of healing, to the suspension of disbelief, to the benefits of the illustrious harmonic egg.
How did you find out about the harmonic egg?
I actually saw Gail Lynn, who is the maker of the harmonic egg. I was like, `Wow, is this something that I need to be doing?’ I had been in meditation with a group of angels that I work with, and they said to me, `You need to go into healing full time.’I went to a lady who was going to be opening one in Cochrane, and probably three or four sessions in, I had gotten so much out of my harmonic sessions that I was like, `I want more people to be able to experience this.’ I really just kind of evolved from there.
What does a typical session in the egg entail?
Each session is 50 minutes. It’s 40 minutes of music followed by 10 minutes of silence. We’re using frequency, sound, light and instrumental choice to help people with whatever they’re wanting to accomplish. So, if people are wanting healing around physical injury, we have different types of songs for that. If people want to work on anxiety, we have a different song choice that’s going to be able to support people through that. I think that would be the most basic explanation.
What type of feedback do you normally hear from clients?
The most common things that I hear back from people are that people feel really calm after their session. they feel less anxious, and they notice a reduction of inflammation in their body. They just have an overall better sense of their health and wellness. A lot of people talk about how they have a reduction in racing thoughts or worries. I’ve had quite a number of people who have been on medication for anxiety who have actually worked with the egg and been able to take themselves, with a doctor’s help, off of their anxiety meds.
Could you share any success stories?
There is a hockey player that used to play for the Calgary Flames — Theoren Fleury. He comes to the harmonic egg pretty regularly, and he’s had a lot of success around his healing. For me, that’s so amazing to know that he has gone through all of these different avenues and different types of healing, and this was something so absolutely amazing for him.
What would you say to someone who is skeptical about this sort of thing?
If nothing else, you’ll come in and just have a nice, relaxing hour to yourself, where nobody else is bugging you. There’s no distractions, and you just get to go in there and relax and be calm. It’s not going to be for everybody, right? I think it’s just a matter of finding what works for you. If it’s not the egg, find an alternative healing therapy that’s going to assist you along your journey. I always say to skeptics, you won’t know until you try.
What is the most rewarding part of your work?
I think just being able to watch people and to be able to facilitate and bring something to people that can bring them peace, calm, less pain anything that just makes it a little bit easier to be here on Earth.
Do you have plans for the future of the Harmonic Wellness Centre?
I’m hoping to expand. I’d love to have a community place for people to do yoga or do different types of sound healing, like sound baths and that kind of stuff. I’m hoping to be able to teach and to be able to bring all the things that really benefited me in my life to other people and be able to get it out to as many people as possible.
