Secrett Hunt
—
I’m a Greenville native and a graduate of the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education (NITE) in Mt. Pleasant, where I completed the Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork program. For the past six years, I’ve been devoted to energy work—specializing in chakra balancing, light healing touch, and angelic reiki. My work is centered on helping people return to their bodies with gentleness and presence. Through light touch and intentional energy work, I create a space where tension softens, the nervous system finds rest, and the spirit feels safe to breathe again. I believe healing happens when we remember the connection between body, mind, and spirit, and my goal is to guide people back to that place of balance and wholeness.
