Maha Rose Center for Healing
Maha Rose is a working healing center founded by acupuncturist and reiki master Lisa Levine that runs sound baths, breathwork, reiki, hypnotherapy, acupuncture and akashic-records sessions alongside tarot and astrology readings. It doubles as a small shop stocked with crystals, ritual tools, jewelry and tarot decks. This is a ritual-and-temple-style space for hands-on metaphysical practice rather than a retail browse.
The story
Before Lisa Levine established 200 Columbia Street as a neighborhood sanctuary in 2013, she spent her days designing jewelry. The shift from metalwork to acupuncture and reiki set the template for Maha Rose: a venue that treats metaphysical work as a direct, hands-on discipline rather than a passive aesthetic. Tucked along the quiet edge where Carroll Gardens bleeds into the Columbia Waterfront District, it bypasses the polished slickness of commercial wellness hubs in favor of an atmosphere that feels distinctly like a working temple space.
Step past the front threshold and you are met with a compact shop stocked with raw crystals, tarot decks, herbs, and ritual tools—though calling it a retail store misses the point. The physical shop exists to equip the real work taking place in the session rooms. On any given week, practitioners run group sound baths, breathwork workshops, hypnotherapy, and akashic-records consultations alongside individual acupuncture, tarot, and astrology readings.
What it's like
Walk through the doors off Columbia Street and the noise of the harbor-side traffic vanishes into warm incense and low lighting. You won't find casual window-shoppers milling around here—most people inside are waiting for a specific practitioner or settling in for a circle. If you intend to catch a sound bath or shamanic healing circle, lock in your spot online beforehand; events are strictly scheduled and require booking ahead. The space remains closed on Mondays, opening during afternoon-into-evening hours the rest of the week.
The move: Book a couples sound bath or a shamanic healing circle, then linger in the crystal-and-herb shop afterward.
