Meet the people behind your QHO experience.

HEALING GUIDES

Each guide brings a distinct blend of training, practice, perspective, and presence—from energy balancing and sound to meditation, movement, restorative practices, and insight-based modalities.

You don’t need to choose a practitioner first. Start with what brings you in, and we’ll help the path become more personal from there.

FOUNDER + LEAD GUIDE

Candie Castillo

Reiki Master • Sound & Frequency Practitioner • Intuitive Guide

Candie founded Quantum Health Organics to create a safe space where people can explore energy balancing, sound and frequency, meditation, and intuitive insight through a personalized approach. Her work brings these practices together so each client can begin with a clear experience and allow the work to become more individualized from there.

Candie’s work includes Reiki, Biofield Tuning, tuning-fork and frequency-based practices, private sound frequency meditation, and intuitive guidance. Rather than fitting every person into one modality, she draws from these approaches according to the experience and the individual, helping the work become more personalized from there.
