Joseph Carringer has been playing an Australian Aboriginal-made Didgeridoo since 1997.
Discovering his natural ability, he immediately began performing live with local blues and jazz musicians. In
1999, Joseph began accompanying electronic music DJs throughout the Northeast in a nightclub atmosphere,
adding a deep layer of organic sound to synthesized music. In addition to playing the Didgeridoo, he received a
Reiki Master's apprenticeship over a decade ago and has studied advanced Qi Gong healing techniques.
It is Joseph's goal to help people realign their bodies' natural rhythms on a cellular level through harmonic
therapy. He believes that through this work, people can achieve a greater sense of natural health and open doors
for a higher sense of creativity and consciousness.

I am Mary Lavoie, proprietress of Crescent Moon Herbals. It is my pleasure to offer this unique shop to you with
its eclectic selection of gifts and services.
My professional career began as a Legal Secretary, until I married Jerry and we began our family. With two young
children tow, we moved from Salem, Massachusetts, to Lebanon, Maine, to provide our family with "a better way of
life". As the children grew (and more came along), I became actively involved with school, sports and dance
classes. Eventually I began writing for local papers as the Lebanon Correspondent, which I continued for several
years before going to work full time at a local newspaper.
Eventually, and with the encouragement of my husband, the shop officially opened its doors on Sept. 16, 2004. It
has continued to grow and expand steadily ever since. I have been fortunate to be a student in many of the
classes offered at the shop by the experienced teachers who assist me here. With their encouragement and help, I
now offer private ear candling sessions; Shamballa and Reiki Energy Healing; and Psychic Intuitive Card
Readings. I am a Reiki Master and Practitioner, receiving certification from Greg Phillips, RM; and a Shamballa
Multi-Dimensional Healer, receiving certification from Holly Brown, Certified Master Teacher, and The Shamballa
School of Esoteric Sciences. Certification of Ear Candling was received by Chris Bashaw, RN and Senior Herbalist.
