How Chico Free Spirit was born
Chico Free Spirit Healing Center was born out of a deep desire to provide a safe and nurturing space for people to heal and grow. The founders, Ashley and Harry, had experienced their own journey of healing and transformation and wanted to create a place where others could do the same.
The journey was not easy, as the two faced many challenges and doubts along the way. But their passion and determination kept them going. They spent months researching different healing modalities and gathering a team of experienced practitioners who shared their vision. Together, they transformed an old building in the heart of Chico into a beautiful and tranquil space for healing.
