Meet the Practioners
Sara Woods Kender
Clinical Herbalist · Reiki Master · Psychic Medium
Sara's work does not fit neatly into a single category — and that is exactly the point. As a Clinical Herbalist, Reiki Master, and Psychic Medium with roots in natural healing that stretch back to 2008, Sara brings a rare combination of clinical knowledge, energetic sensitivity, and intuitive depth to every session. Whether you are seeking plant-based wellness guidance, energy healing, or something harder to name — a sense that something deeper needs tending — Sara meets you there with skill, care, and complete presence. All sessions are held in a grounded, safe, and sacred container. You will never be pushed beyond what feels right for you.
Herbal Wellness Consultations
Personalized one-on-one sessions drawing on over fifteen years of clinical herbal practice. Sara works with your full health history to develop a plant-based wellness plan tailored specifically to you.
In-Person Shamanic Reiki
Soul-level energy healing that weaves Reiki with ancestral shamanic wisdom. Particularly meaningful for those navigating grief, trauma, or major life transitions. Held in a grounded, sacred container at Sacred Tree Herbals.
Remote Reiki
Energy is not confined by distance. Sara connects with your energy field remotely, working intuitively with your chakras to identify and address imbalances — and gives you tools to continue your healing between sessions.
Psychic Medium Readings
Drawing on her gifts as a clairvoyant and psychic medium, Sara provides intuitive guidance and connection for those seeking clarity, healing, or deeper spiritual insight.
Nutrition, Wellness and Integrative Health Coach
Wendy knows what it feels like to stand at the intersection of wanting to feel better and not quite knowing where to begin. She has been there herself — and that lived experience is woven into every session she holds.
As a Nutrition, Wellness, and Integrative Health Coach, Wendy works with people navigating some of life's most common and most challenging health crossroads — weight management, stress, menopause, disrupted sleep, and the ongoing work of building a nourishing relationship with food and the body. Her approach is whole-person by design, addressing the full picture of each client's life — body, mind, and soul — rather than chasing isolated symptoms with isolated solutions.
Wendy holds certifications in health coaching, nutrition, and personal training through the American Council on Exercise and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, and has deepened her practice through studies in herbalism, advanced herbalism, and Reiki II — all under the guidance of Sara Woods Kender right here at Sacred Tree.
What sets Wendy apart is not just what she knows — it is how she listens. She meets every client without judgment, with genuine warmth, and with the kind of understanding that only comes from having walked a similar path yourself.
When she is not coaching or helping bring Sara's herbal recipes to life in the shop, Wendy can be found reading, drawing, playing drums, growing organic vegetables and herbs on her land, foraging for wild plants, or hiking with her Australian Shepherd, Blue. She loves the wilderness and all the creatures in it — including her five wild grandchildren.
Wendy sees clients on Mondays and Tuesdays at Sacred Tree Herbals and is available for Reiki sessions, health coaching, and integrative wellness consultations.

Shelly Meeks
Licensed Massage Therapist · Energy Worker · Founder of Well Balanced Massage
Shelly believes that bodywork is more than physical relief. It is a pathway — to balance, to renewal, and to a deeper connection with your own highest self.
As the founder of Well Balanced Massage, Shelly has spent years helping clients find their way back to themselves through therapeutic massage, Reiki, and holistic energy work. Her approach is intuitive, heart-centered, and deeply attentive — meeting each client exactly where they are and guiding them gently toward where they want to be.
Shelly's work is rooted in a simple but powerful conviction: that healing is not just personal. Every session, every moment of restored balance, every body that leaves the table feeling lighter — it all contributes to something larger. She calls it raising the collective vibration, one session at a time.
We are thrilled to welcome Shelly and Well Balanced Massage to Sacred Tree Herbals in Meredith, where her healing presence is a natural fit for everything this space stands for. She also sees clients at Behold the Beauty at The Margate in Laconia, NH.
To book with Shelly, call or text 508.419.3450. Sessions are available at Sacred Tree Herbals in Meredith, NH.
Therapeutic Massage
Intentional, outcome-driven bodywork tailored to your body's specific needs. Shelly works with each client individually — adjusting pressure, technique, and focus to address tension, chronic pain, or the need for deep, genuine rest.
Reiki & Energy Work
Gentle, non-invasive energy healing to restore balance and release what has been held. Shelly's intuitive touch and heart-centered presence create a deeply safe space for energetic restoration and renewal.
Holistic Wellness Sessions
An integrative approach weaving bodywork and energy healing into a single session designed to nurture mind, body, and spirit. Ideal for those seeking more than physical relief — a true reset from the inside out.
Ruth Levesque, RN
Wholistic Health Coaching
Ruth Levesque has spent over twenty years as a Registered Nurse, much of that time working alongside patients navigating mental health challenges. What she discovered in those years was not just clinical skill, but a deep and genuine gift for human connection. Ruth loves people. She loves their stories, their complexity, and the quiet courage it takes to ask for help. She has always known how to make someone feel truly comfortable, supported, and heard.
But over time, Ruth grew frustrated with the limitations of the traditional medical model. Convinced that there are better, safer, and more whole-person ways to heal, she began seeking out the tools that the conventional system so often overlooks and never stopped. Today she is a certified Nurse Coach, Reiki Master Teacher trained in the Usui-Tibetan tradition, and Clinical Herbalist, bringing the full weight of that experience to every client she works with.
Ruth's approach is refreshingly human. She knows that making positive change can feel overwhelming, so she never asks you to overhaul your life overnight. Instead she helps you identify small, achievable goals, the kind that quietly stack up over time until one day you look back and realize how far you have come. She walks alongside her clients every step of that journey, celebrating even the smallest of wins, because she knows those wins matter.
Most of us are moving too fast, checking off tasks, letting the most important parts of life slip past unnoticed. Ruth's invitation is a simple one: slow down, get centered, and decide what actually matters to you. Then let's build toward it together.
No goal is too big or too small. Ruth can help you make meaningful, lasting change in any area of your health or your life.
When she is not working, Ruth can be found spending time with her family, friends, and dogs, reading, swimming, gardening, camping, and going on adventures wherever the road leads.

Yoga Therapist · Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner · Reiki Master
Fabienne Aliberti has been living and breathing yoga for over thirty years — and teaching it for twenty. That depth of practice is palpable the moment you step into a session with her.
Certified as a Yoga Therapist through Integrative Yoga Therapy and trained in Thai Yoga Massage at the prestigious Lotus Palm School in Montreal under master teacher Kam Thye Chow, Fabienne brings a rare combination of ancient bodywork traditions and modern therapeutic understanding to every session she holds.
At the heart of Fabienne's approach is a philosophy rooted in loving compassion — what the Buddhist tradition calls metta. She works with alignment, breath, and the flow of life force energy through the body, holding the profound belief that true wellness lives in the balance between yin and yang. Every client leaves feeling genuinely heard, deeply cared for, and more at home in their own body than when they arrived.
Fabienne has also earned her Reiki Master certification, which she weaves organically into her Thai Yoga Massage sessions — adding an energetic dimension to the physical work that makes each session a truly whole-person experience.
When she is not in the treatment room, Fabienne can be found hiking, canoeing, snowmobiling, or soaking up the sun with her beloved dog and cats.
To book a session with Fabienne, call or text 508-369-2683.
Iryna Novos
Chakra Dance Facilitator
Iryna Novos has spent a lifetime in movement — across continents, cultures, and the inner landscape of the self.
Originally from Ukraine, Iryna has lived in many corners of the world before settling in New Hampshire in 2023 with her husband, six-year-old daughter, and dog. She brings with her over thirty years of immersion in Vedic philosophy, energy practices, Taoist traditions, and psychology — a foundation rooted in the understanding that healing is not something that happens to us. It is something we remember how to do.
Fifteen years ago, Chakradance found Iryna at a moment when she felt profoundly disconnected — from her body, her intuition, and the natural flow of her life. Movement became her medicine. Through dance, music, and breath she learned to listen inward, release what had been held, and awaken the energy of each chakra one by one. That experience did not just change her practice. It changed everything.
Today, Iryna is a certified Chakradance Facilitator and energy practices guide whose mission is as clear as it is beautiful — to gently and lovingly guide women back to themselves. Back to their bodies. Back to their feelings. Back to the inner energy that has been waiting quietly all along.
In Iryna's sessions there are no judgments, no expectations, and no right or wrong way to move. You do not need to know how to dance. You only need to show up as yourself and allow your body to find its own rhythm. Iryna holds a safe, nurturing, and sacred space where you can feel, process, heal, and open — step by step, chakra by chakra.
Private Chakradance sessions are available in person at Sacred Tree Herbals in Meredith, NH.
Chakradance Private Sessions
A 120-minute immersive movement journey tailored entirely to you. Weaving free-flowing dance, chakra wisdom, guided imagery, and frequency-specific music, each session creates a sacred space to release, reconnect, and come home to yourself.
Chakra Energy Guidance
Drawing on thirty years of study in Vedic philosophy, Taoist practices, and energy work, Iryna offers personalized guidance to help you understand, feel, and work with your own chakra system in practical, embodied ways.
Mandala Art & Meditation Integration
Included in every Chakradance session, this meditative drawing practice helps anchor the energy and insights from your movement journey — giving your healing experience a creative, lasting expression.
Thai Yoga Massage
Ancient healing bodywork combining assisted stretching, rhythmic compression, and acupressure along the body's energy lines. Performed fully clothed on a mat — often described as having yoga done to you. Come stiff. Leave spacious.
