Healing Waters & Sacred Spaces

I totally disagree with Olanda. I obviously did not get the same clerk. I believe Joan helped me & she was great. She took me to see the crystals I was interested in & was very helpful.

What an awful little store. Not the merchandise… the help. Went there yesterday looking for a housewarming gift. The Clerk’s vibe was just funky… disinterested and funky. She «stunk» up the whole store. She clearly needs to make use of the store’s «healing» merchandise. Left without buying anything… couldn’t stand the «funk.»

i always love seeing Memorie!!! I hadn’t seen her in several months and had a lot to tell her. I was so happy to talk to her about all of my progress and get a reading on how my life looks currently. She just has an amazing presence and warmth about her that makes me feel so comfortable. Go get a reading from her!

Amazing place. Love this lady she knows her business & is so helpful & friendly. I love my Goddess.

Some of the biggest complaints I’m hearing is that this store is small. Yes, that’s true, but I was actually surprised with their wonderful selection of statues, crystals, and mala beads (it’s worth it to visit this shop JUST for the mala beads!). I’ve only been in once, but I definitely plan to go back! The woman behind the desk was very sweet and friendly. I can tell this place is going to be helpful as I build and improve my home altar!

I have been here several times. Th employees are cold and not very helpful. I was made to feel uncomfortable. Not a welcoming place. It is a small overpriced store.
There are better places, try New Renaissance or The Mystery Gallery in Milwaukie, OR

This is the only place in Portland that always has a variety of sage in stock a whole bunch of nice statues they have educational classes to learn about chakras, finding your life purpose, run readings, etc! I love this place
They are very knowledgeable and willing to help you recommend books it’s a great store to check out.
They are more pricey for stones and candles but it’s very authentic and you can feel the good vibe in the store.

I really like this store a lot! It’s such a great place. I’ve been here quite a few times now (maybe 5?) and I’m not sure what all the somewhat-​entitled, bad reviews are about.
1. They take debit and credit cards, someone posted that they only take cash and I’ve always just paid with debit.
2. The hours are just fine. If they aren’t open exactly at 11, go get a coffee and come back. They are always open in the evenings when I go.
3. The employees are extremely helpful and nice. They also know so much about their products.
I’m not really sure why these other people are so angry… I think that’s just Unilocal reviewers tend to do…

I’ve gotten several Tarot readings here in the past few years. They have a different reader for each day of the week so check their web site for the schedule. (Call to schedule a reading). I liked my readings with Jodi.
They also have a small selection of crystals.
One thing to note is that they only accept cash.

I love healing waters and sacred spaces! I came into the shop very overwhelmed and emotional due to some issues I’ve been having with my body. I was feeling crazy. I hadn’t mentioned anything to the owner, just told her I was looking to keep negative energy away and she pointed me to the crystal I needed. I ended up picking up a few more and went to pay. After I paid I asked what she would recommend for pain I’ve been having. I wanted to buy an oil. She let me know I didn’t need it and talked to me about her experience going through what I was going through. I had a tarot reading schedule with Jodi synder and that was life changing for me. It was the most beautiful and real and on point reading I’ve ever had. She did most of the talking, unless I had something to say. Which I wish I would have just stayed quiet and let her keep taking. This was my experience. It was amazing. They have something special going on at healing waters & sacred spaces :) thank you thank you!

Great Selection of flower essences and statues. Awesome Readers. Great Classes.

I am extremely disappointed. :(
I came here with such positivity and hopefulness. I came for a special meditation and «workshop» sort of thing with an advertised skilled psychic. It was held after the store was closed and in a small meeting room that the store had around the corner.
I came a little early for the meditation to buy some stones. This was my first time here, but based off of the store description, I figured they’d have more to offer product wise. They had a super limited selection of stones and the stones were extremely overpriced — the most I have ever paid for them. (One medium sized rose quartz was $ 5.) I wanted green jasper stones, and they didn’t have any. I asked a woman who worked there about it when I didn’t see them, and she appeared completely clueless. They had an abundance of certain stones in different shapes and sizes, a semi-​decent amount of super tiny stones, and that was it as far as stones goes. (I couldn’t believe they didn’t have jasper, and the woman’s reaction when I inquired about it, as you can walk along the coast and find them.)
So then the meditation thing — a large group in a very overcrowded space. There must have been about 30 people in the small meeting room. I was under the impression that this would have been a two hour meditation lead by a psychic… how promising and enlightening that sounded! I was excited about this for a week. Disappointment again. :-/​
I do believe the psychic was skilled, but she was probably overwhelmed by all of the people there. It seems like there should have been a limit, and makes me think the room we met in was for sure over-​capacity. But anyway, she lead us through a guided meditation (which was hands down my favourite part) for 20 – 30 minutes tops. We went over a worksheet that we could take home which had some good ideas on it. Then, for the whole last hour, she went around to everyone in the group and did a very brief reading for every single person.
It was great that everyone got a reading, but it was a lot to sit through. I really would have liked to have left after my «reading,» but I didn’t want to interrupt anything or throw any dynamic off. But my reading in particular — wow — was she off! I know she hit home with a handful of people there. I heard some other people discuss afterwards that they were neutral about what she said to them. I think she told a lot of people what they already knew about themselves and nothing further, and with others, she had a lot to say. So I guess she just went off of energies she felt from people. But with me… she literally said one sentence and that was pretty much it. I felt so gipped in every way. She asked me what kind of reading I wanted, and I asked her if she could tell me or give me guidance on what my next steps in life should be. Instead, she told me where she saw me in the more far-​out future, and she was sort of on track. I feel as if I know my calling and I’m already working towards it. It was the more immediate future I wanted to talk about. She just barely touched on what she saw for me regarding the future and she was close, but not really there in my book.
It was $ 10 just for the workshop, so the psychic definitely made bank. I believe she does her work for both herself and others, but she also did a lot of self-​promotion during the workshop. (One-​on-​one sessions, a book she wrote, promoting her website & newsletter, etc.)
I was initially going to give this store and experience two stars, but that just wouldn’t have been accurate. I won’t be back to the store or psychic, but I’d love to find something like this again elsewhere where everyone — store employees and the psychic are different. These people here must cater to some, but I am just not one of them, so one star in my book.
Sorry guys, with my high expectations, I wish this review ranted and raved about your store and psychic and it could have been a five star review. Best of luck to you all.

I had to write a review for this place because the employees here are extremely helpful and just all around awesome people. Good service is hard to come by in Portland so whenever I cross paths with quality workers I feel compelled to review the establishment.
The store is calming and well organized. I went in looking for a gift for a friend of mine but had no idea what I wanted to get him. A lovely staff member named Memory helped me pick out some items based on the description of my friend and his name. She even gave me some ideas for next time (one of the items in stock she thought would make a prefect gift). I didn’t feel like I was being «sold» she really seemed to care and put thought into helping me out. I will be returning to Healing waters !

Quite disappointed about this shop.
We had to wait for the employees to finish talking on the phone with their friends, before one of them finally came to help us. My girlfriend and I were looking for a crystal, which is not rare at all, you can find it in other stores and on the internet, easily. They both did not know what we were talking about, they had never heard the word. They did not seem very knowledgeable about crystals and they were not very friendly toward us, the customers! Herbs and oils were quite overpriced. The place has a nice atmosphere, but that is the only good thing about this store!

I’ve been looking for flower remedies for my cats, and wow, does this place have them! The owner was quickly able to determine which would work best with her (already on Rescue Remedy), and knew what she was talking about. They offer a lot of different flower/​chi/​chakra remedies (for humans, that is).
There are places like this that are overpriced and the staff are way more ‘enlightened than thou,’ and there are places that have an interesting array of products at fairly reasonable prices with a nice staff who help you if you want it and leave you to browse if you don’t. I spent we’ll over an hour here, got a beautiful piece of celestite for a decent price, and learned I could get a pheremone collar for my cat at the vet across the street. A lovely afternoon spent, and will definitely be visiting again sometime.

I went here for a quick tarot reading on a whim. It was amazing, life changing. The best $ 25 I have ever spent!!!

An utter disappointment.
The two young men who «helped» us had no idea about any of the crystals I asked about, let alone whether they had any in stock— and I was not really looking for anything exotic. I found only two of the stones I was looking for.
It seems my friend and I had interrupted the two employees in the midst of making online travel arrangements for SXSW. One of them finally pulled himself away long enough to take my money before turning back to looking up hotels on the computer. To add insult to injury, the two small tumbled stones I bought were extremely overpriced.
I really just should have know better; I should have turned around and walked out when I asked for a double terminated quartz and the guy said «Uh…a what?»

A few beefs with this place:
1) Overpriced. For example, myrrh essential oil was $ 24 for 5ml. This is easily twice as expensive as the most extravagantly expensive stuff I could find anywhere else, and about 5 – 10 times more than a person should reasonably expect to pay.
2) Not knowledgeable. For example, they had never even heard of Abramelin Oil. I understand not carrying it, but being met with blank stares when mentioning a common sacred oil in a sacred oil store felt a little odd.
3) Unhelpful. I asked whether they carried incense charcoal, and they said they did, but it wasn’t in stock. I asked if they knew when it would be back in stock, and the reply was «we always stock it, etc.,» I had to repeat the question, in order to get a more honest «I don’t know»… sigh…
In short, while the place is certainly pretty, and clean, and has a pleasant atmosphere… it’s basically an overpriced, frou-​frou, poseur store of the lamest kind.
And I suspect the other review is a biased plug from a person connected to the store.
