A Letter from Sacred Space 69's Co-Founder, Theresa
Theresa Mayo • October 1, 2021

Welcome to Sacred Space 69 (SS69)!

What a great honor and blessing it is to be the source of Your Journey to self-discovery and healing! For myself, my journey with the various Healing Arts and Practices started in my teens, around the time Angela left for the US. At the University of the Philippines, I signed up for Tai-Chi for my Physical Ed class during my sophomore year in college, which was the start of my introduction to Energy Healing. As the only girl and eldest child with a mother who was away, I had to deal with my pubescent challenges mostly on my own. Since my mother was a Psychiatric Nurse in the Bronx, she understood the value of sound Mental Health practices as she reminded me to “always write things down,” which is when I started Journaling. In a way, this was how my mother became close to me despite her being oceans away.

I believe that my introduction to the Chi and my affinity to Angels was not a coincidence. My appreciation for Energy Healing and recognition of ethereal beings would remain with me to this day. I continue to seek the guidance of my Guardian Angel, Alisha, when seeking guidance or protection; but more so, for Archangel Michael for protection. I also seek guidance from my patroness St. Therese of Lisieux. She is my namesake as I was born on her Feast Day, October 1. This day is so blessed that we officially launch SS69 today, in honor of the Source, which she and our other spiritual or ethereal beings, including our dearly departed (hello to my Lolos, Lolas and Tita Myrna), are part of.

This is the same Source that played a key role in my own healing journey. In the past decade, I’ve endured challenges and losses. I’ve engaged in talk therapy and finally trauma-therapy in the past year. I was fortunate to have my parents with me during the first months of the pandemic as it finally allowed me to face past hurts and fears. Last year was a culmination of learned Healing Arts and Practices in the past decade, to include being at the receiving end of Reiki Healing (Hi Beth!) and when my fascination with Crystals (I received Crystal Healing Certification from the Practical Magic Store in Wilmington, NC) as tools for healing started. I also learned about Manna when I received my traditional/hand tapping tattoo by a well-known Hawaiian artist, who happened to meet the oldest Filipina “mambabatok.” Ancient Filipino Practices included Animism and Shamanism, which are also evident in other cultures. I adorn myself with tattoos not merely for arts’ sake but also for its Spiritual value. The above are recounts of what worked and continues to work for me in my Spiritual Journey, and this journey will be different for you.

SS69 is a source for tools that connect you with what makes sense for your journey. Angela and I may weigh-in on recommendations, however, trust that you were brought to this site for a reason and that you will learn to trust yourself in time to do what’s best for you—because I did throughout my own journey. I embrace both Western and Eastern Healing Arts and Practices. I was born into the Catholic faith, but I engage in Transcendental Meditation twice daily. I recognize the value of Yogic and Buddhist practices for our well-being. I also value exercise and nutrition. As a mental health provider, I value the benefits of talk therapy, cognitive- and/or behavior-based therapies, trauma-therapy (specifically Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR as this is what worked for my childhood trauma); and also the value of psychotropic medications from the Western World. 

So in summary, I value ALL modalities and practices of healing because there is no one set prescription for everyone’s well-being. Your prescription for well-being will be unique to you. Enjoy the journey. Your Journey. It’s one heck of a ride and the most fulfilling adventure you will allow yourself to delve into. Thank you very much for allowing Sacred Space 69 to be part of your Spiritual Journey. I am looking forward to being a witness in your healing. I wish you well.

And to Everyone who supported me and played an integral part throughout My Healing and Spiritual Journey, a big Thank You! Angela, my OG Guardian Angel, thank you for never giving up! Here’s to our craziness and to this next Big Adventure!

 

In Love and in Light,

Mental health is one of the most important conversations of our time. Millions of people worldwide are searching for ways to manage anxiety, overcome depression, process trauma, and find a sense of inner calm. While modern psychology and psychiatry offer powerful tools, many people are discovering that ancient spiritual practices — including chakra healing — can complement their mental health journey in meaningful ways. At Sacred Space, we believe that caring for your energy body and caring for your mind are not separate pursuits. They are two paths leading to the same destination: wholeness.More

“Good juju” is more than a trendy phrase tossed around on social media. At its core, it reflects something deeply human: the desire to invite positive energy, protection, balance, and intention into our lives. Long before manifestation, journals and wellness influencers, cultures across the world practiced rituals designed to shift energy and create harmony between the physical and spiritual worlds.More

This year's Nurses Week theme — The Power of Nurses — could not be more fitting. Every year from May 6–12, the world pauses to recognize the men and women who show up tirelessly, compassionately, and often invisibly to hold space for those in their most vulnerable moments. But 2026 asks us to go further than gratitude. It asks us to truly reckon with the power nurses carry — the power to heal, to witness, to transform lives at their most fragile.More

April 25, 2026 marked the beginning of Uranus’ sustained transit through Gemini, a cycle that astrologers associate with major shifts in communication, technology, learning, and how people connect. Uranus represents disruption, innovation, and sudden change. Gemini rules information, language, media, and networks. Together, this transit is often described as a period of unexpected shifts in communication and ideas—a time when the way we think, talk, and share information changes quickly and unexpectedly. On a broader level, this era is linked to rapid advancements in technology, especially in AI, media, and digital communication, along with faster information cycles and new ways of learning and interacting.More

In a world where phrases like “good vibes only” and “raise your frequency” are everywhere, it’s easy to dismiss them as feel-good spirituality.  Online platforms like SacredSpace69.com highlight a deeper idea: that human energy, intention, and awareness are not merely abstract notions—they can serve as practical tools for transformation. Rooted in a mission to foster a welcoming community that nurtures holistic well-being, spiritual growth, and self-discovery, Sacred Space 69 offers intentional products and services designed to support balance, healing, and meaningful connection. Interestingly, modern science is beginning to echo aspects of this ancient wisdom.More

When I first discovered this Expo, I was at the beginning of my spiritual journey. I attended as a curious beginner exploring holistic wellness, walking through the event as a buyer eager to learn. Years later, after opening my own holistic wellness business, I returned—not as a visitor, but as one of the 200 vendors.
