How we came to be:

The story of Essential Energies began in 2003 with a vision: to create a space where practitioners and teachers of the healing arts could come together to share their gifts with the greater community. It was founded by Marilyn Martin (now Marilyn Romero) and later flourished under the care of Glenda and her daughter, Kendra. Kendra poured her heart into Essential Energies, dedicating herself to its mission. Though her physical presence was lost in 2014, her spirit and influence continue to be felt in every part of the center.

Glenda carried on the work they built until 2016, when Tom and Scott took over. After Scott’s passing and Tom’s health challenges, the time came for another transition. At the end of 2020, Glenda Prus and Marilyn Romero once again assumed ownership of Essential Energies. As of late 2024, Glenda has become the sole owner, continuing to uphold the center’s legacy of healing, growth, and community.

Essential Energies has never been static—it has always been evolving. What began in a small A-frame down the road expanded to half of its current building and now fills the entire space. Just as the business has grown, so has its community. Many practitioners and teachers have passed through its doors over the years, each leaving their own mark. Even as faces change, their contributions remain woven into the fabric of Essential Energies, shaping the space and its ever-evolving journey.
