Nestled in a cozy space on Jefferson Street in Franklin, Indiana, Falling Feathers Healing is a sanctuary dedicated to restoring balance to the mind, body and spirit. Ann Day, the heart and soul behind this new business, offers Reiki and sound therapy to individuals and small groups seeking peace and healing in an increasingly hectic world.
For Day, the path to Falling Feathers began in 2011, during a time of personal crisis. She sought alternative methods to heal her mental health, after struggling with the adverse effects of traditional treatments. That’s when she discovered the transformative power of Reiki and sound therapy. Experiencing the profound effects these practices had on her own well-being, Day was inspired to learn more. She trained extensively at Eloia Training Arts in California, and was asked to join the center as a practitioner.
“Reiki and sound therapy changed my life,” Day says. “They brought me back to my natural balance, where healing truly begins.”
These complementary therapies fall under what she describes as “vibrational healing.” While each practice is distinct, both aim to harmonize the body’s energy and restore it to a state of equilibrium. Reiki involves the gentle movement of energy through the body, while sound therapy uses vibrations from instruments to impact brainwaves and release stagnant energy.
“We all carry energy within us,” Day explains. “Think about the static shock when you walk across a floor in socks. It’s proof of the energy we hold. Reiki and sound therapy help bring that energy back into balance, to a state of homeostasis. It’s where we’re meant to be, but in today’s fast-paced society, we rarely get there.”
For her clients, the benefits are transformative. Many come seeking relief from anxiety, depression or the emotional toll of family challenges. Others look to Falling Feathers for support alongside traditional medical treatments. “These therapies aren’t alternative,” Day emphasizes. “They’re complementary. They work in tandem with medical care to help individuals find balance and peace, creating the optimal environment for healing.”
Day’s journey to Franklin, much like her personal healing path, feels divinely guided. Relocating from California a year ago, she initially had no plans to set roots in this small town. But a chance encounter with local resident Amy Skirvin, and a serendipitous connection with her landlords, led Day to the charming commercial space that now houses Falling Feathers.
“I truly believe the universe brought me here,” Day says. “Every step felt like a blind leap, but it all aligned perfectly. Now, I’ve found my place here in Franklin.”
With Falling Feathers, Day hopes to raise awareness about Reiki and sound therapy, sharing their incredible potential to foster peace, balance and health. For her, it’s not just a business; it’s a mission to help others find the same healing she once sought.
