December Gift Offerings for yourself or someone you love. Studies show that nearly 77% of adults report physical symptoms caused by stress (American Psychological Association). Stress constricts energy flow, lowers immunity, and dulls the body’s natural rhythm. As Dr. Joe Dispenza says, “When you change your energy, you change your life.” This December, Make a Wave invites you to reset your system with gentle, frequency-based care: the 11-Day Remote Rife Detox, Energy & Frequency Cleanse, and Soul Alignment Reading. Each offering helps release stored tension and restore coherence so you can step into 2026 clear, calm, and radiant.

From Rescue to Forever Homes
Supporting the SPCA offers meaningful benefits for the animals, the volunteers and the community. Whether through adoption, donations, volunteering, supporting fundraisers, or fostering, your involvement helps rescue animals from neglect, abuse, or abandonment—giving them a second chance at life. Food Donations are especially important and appreciated to keep our fur friends fed, as they await permanent placement. Food Donations ease the SPCA’s shelter budget and stress ensuring the pets are fed, the cost of pet food alone ads up greatly, and if often taken for granted by the general public. Please reach out to see how you can make a difference and save a life!
