In the fast-paced world of NYC real estate, slowing down can feel impossible—but on this particular afternoon, The Agency New York carved out space for just that. Agents and staff gathered for a special wellness day, a restorative experience designed to recharge the mind, body, and spirit ahead of the spring season.
The afternoon began with a wellness shot and calming breathwork led by Tara Tonini, founder of Tenera Holistic Health. Guests received acupuncture ear seeds to stimulate energy points and promote balance, followed by a guided breathing session that grounded everyone into the present.
From there, Nicole Rutsch—Reiki Master and founder of The Alchemy Sound Studio—led a deeply nourishing sound bath. The session began with intention setting and essential oils, helping participants center themselves before immersing in the soothing vibrations of Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls and Reiki energy work.
“This event provided a special opportunity to introduce my friend and highly sought-after Nicole Rutsch,” noted agent Marnie Eden. “Her sound healing session offered a rare moment to pause and reset during an otherwise busy day—and a unique chance for many to experience energy work for the first time.”
Throughout the day, attendees also experienced personalized one-on-one healing treatments: Becca Whistler offered intuitive bodywork tailored to physical and emotional needs, while Dr. Diana Salazar conducted muscle pattern assessments that helped guests understand where they store tension and how to release it.
“This was such a nice reset—between the sound bath, ear seeds, and massage, I left feeling totally recharged and relaxed,” said broker Melissa Bemis. “There was also a really nice sense of community, with all the agents and staff taking a moment to slow down and connect. I find that when I take time to care for my own wellness, I feel more clear-headed, open-minded, and grounded—which helps me show up fully for my clients.”
“These sessions exposed me to so many aspects of wellness I’d never tried—from ear seeds to sound baths,” said Kim Schiralli, Managing Director of The Agency New York. “Our team did a beautiful job organizing a day that left us all zen and empowered in the middle of a busy week in a bustling city!”
This wellness day, hosted by The Agency New York, reflected our ongoing commitment to balance, well-being, and collaborative support, offering agents a meaningful pause to recharge and reconnect. Stay tuned for future events!
