"I very infrequently enter a bricks and mortar store these days, but went to Altered Elements today, which has been one of my favorite places in Naples for over fifteen years. As usual, we (my wife and I) were greeted in a friendly manner by Denise who has been working with Lucy for a number of years now. Despite the fact that Lucy was teaching a class in the separate classroom of the store, we were able to browse and interact with Denise without disturbance whilst the class continued. We have always valued the ability to browse in peace and ask questions if needed. We have always found Denise the perfect combination of helpful, but knowing when to back off and let the customer just “be”. Having found what we needed we then paid Denise who is always professional, as well as full of interesting things to say on such a wide variety of topics. Before we left, Lucy’s class ended and we were fortunate enough to catch up with her. For those who do not know her, Lucy is literally a true force of nature; a teacher and an expert on meditation, spirituality and our planet’s elements. She is called to do what she does and has been a fixture in Naples for a very long time. Lucy gives freely of her time and talents in helping those who are lucky enough to cross her path on their journey through life. Lucy and Denise are a great team that has complimentary skillsets. A trip to Altered Elements in Naples is almost always a five star experience for those seeking something related to their spiritual journey or a gift for themselves or someone special in their lives."
