Who We Are

Marisa McFadden

Founder, Creator of Holistic Healing (a fusion of energy healing, psychic guidance, and spirit therapy), Lead Practitioner and Facilitator

Marisa is a gifted intuitive guide and energy healer who helps lead people through the dark and heavy times of their lives to the places of lasting and genuine purpose, clarity, and resilience. Working with Marisa, clients often say that they step away from the experience feeling a sense of lightness, connection to something greater than themselves, and full of hope.

A mother of five, former college professor of English Literature and Composition, freelance writer, and current Mindfulness Instructor in public schools throughout the Lehigh Valley, Marisa’s WHY is simple: to heal each other and the world. And she believes its not as far fetched of a goal as the world leads us to believe.

Marisa’s signature service offering, Holistic Healing, offers the profound and powerful effects of energy healing and psychic work fused with compassionate support and understanding. The greatest testament to the power of her sessions is the ever growing list of lifelong clients that come back again and again, not because the process “didn’t work,” but because they choose to keep walking down the path of spiritual exploration with the support of Marisa as their guide. Her list of clients has grown into the hundreds and is a balance of men and women from all walks of life, religious backgrounds, professional backgrounds, and personal ideologies and beliefs.

Marisa is proud to be a guide and healer for those out there on the front lines of mental health, criminal justice, education, and more, affirming that the world of spiritual and conscious exploration and healing through subtle energy have the power to help even in the most surprising sectors.

Over the Covid Pandemic, Marisa supported doctors, nurses, therapists, teachers, parents, and others as they navigated what was, for many, the most challenging time they’ve ever experienced. Losing a sense of hope in humanity and purpose, many clients faced intense spiritual and emotional crises over the pandemic. Throughout that time, Marisa’s practice exploded as she began working with, not just individuals looking for a metaphysical experience but, those who were seeking a more spiritual way of seeing their own lives and the part they played on the larger cosmic stage.

Marisa is also leading the movement to bring the therapeutic effects of sound, vibration, and frequency to her clients. She offers Vibroacoustic Therapy (Sound Healing) sessions using a state of the art Sound Bed that has the ability to alleviate the experience chronic pain, depression and anxiety, PTSD, and more. Vibroacoustic Therapy has become a powerful and effective experience that compliments both Holistic Healing and other more traditional forms of psychological and physical therapy.

Remarkably, over the past decade, Creative Spirit, under the guidance of founder, creative director, and lead practitioner, Marisa McFadden, has grown from a healing style that began with seeing clients on her living room couch to a thriving Spiritual and Creative wellness studio and shop right in the heart of Downtown, Easton, PA.

Rebecca Schmick

Founder of Rise Sound and Energy Therapy which is now offering workshops and services at Creative Spirit.

Rebecca Schmickt is a deeply intuitive practitioner whose path to healing began in childhood after the profound loss of her mother. Though she was told to dismiss her spiritual sensitivity, her gifts reawakened after a major health event in 2016. This catalyzed a deep inner shift that led her to explore meditation, energy healing, and the powerful practice of Vibrational Sound & Energy Therapy. Since becoming certified in 2019, Rebecca has been committed to sharing this gentle yet transformative healing method with others.

With a warm and grounded presence, Rebecca creates a safe, supportive space for clients to experience profound relaxation, energetic realignment, and heightened intuition. She serves as a conduit for healing energy, allowing the vibrational frequencies of specially calibrated tuning forks to move through her and into the client’s energy field. Her intention is never to “fix” but to facilitate the healing that the body, mind, and spirit are ready to receive.

Rebecca has joined long time collaborator and friend, Cristy Joy of Joyful Self Wellness, in bringing her healing sessions and workshops to whole new corner of the Lehigh Valley: Easton, PA.
