What Real Readers Are Saying
Warm, grounded, honest — that's what readers have said, again and again.
The reviews that have come in for Gentle Wanderings have been a true gift to read, and we wanted to share them here in full so you can hear directly from the women who have spent time with this book. Readers across different life stages — from recent retirees to mothers stepping into a new chapter to women simply feeling the stir of something they can't quite name — have found in these pages a soft, steady companion that doesn't demand anything of them but gently opens a door. What stands out again and again in their words is the feeling of being met with warmth rather than pressure, of being given permission to explore at their own pace. These are honest, unprompted voices, and we think they tell the story of this book better than any description could.

A Beautiful Book & Much Needed Resource
I absolutely loved the Gentle Wanderings book! It is a beautiful and comforting guide for women who feel called to something deeper but may feel overwhelmed by all of the spiritual information available today. The author gently walks you through spirituality, energy awareness, and personal growth in a way that feels grounded, accessible and nurturing. It's especially powerful for women entering a new season of life — whether that's after raising children, changing careers, going through a life transition, or experiencing a spiritual awakening. What I love most is how calming and reassuring this book feels. Instead of pushing rigid beliefs, it encourages exploration, intuition, and trusting your own inner guidance. The timing of this book feels perfect. As many of us are awakening and stepping into a higher level of consciousness, this offers a soft, supportive path forward. It's a wonderful companion for women beginning to explore spirituality, energy work, and a more soul-led life. This is a beautiful book and a much needed resource that I will definitely be recommending to others.

Quiet Soul Journey
Gentle Wanderings by Lidia Sophia feels like sitting quietly with a trusted friend who understands where you are in life. The writing is soft, reflective, and encouraging without ever feeling forced, making it easy to slow down and truly take in each page. It gently invites you to reconnect with your spiritual side, especially during seasons of change, and I found myself pausing often just to think and breathe. It’s the kind of book you don’t rush you return to it when you need a little peace and clarity.

Very Inspiring Book!
As a woman who has been in a new season of life for a while, I found this book to be very inspiring. It has helped me to find ways to define my identity after many years of caring for my children. I love how this book introduces women to wellness practices like chakras, Reiki and crystals — not as a prescription, but more as an opening of possibilities. The writing is very clear and inviting. I would recommend this book to any woman who finds herself in transition.

Eye Opener That Helps Shift Your Thought Processes in a Positive Way
I recently retired after spending 30 years in healthcare. During that time I witnessed the effects of ignoring our mental and spiritual wellness and the end result of leading with stress and anxiety. Now I can spend time on what should have been a priority for all of us much sooner. When I read this book I found a new perspective on so many levels. I found it to be an empowering, energizing experience of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. If you're looking for a way to shift your thinking and pursue wellness, read this book. It changed my perspective on how I view Reiki, chakras and crystals. I look forward to learning more and applying more healing practices in my life.

Soulful Journeys
What a beautiful book! I ordered it for my sister who has been going through a lot of changes lately. After sharing it with my sister and reading it myself, we both found it incredibly helpful. I thought the overview of chakras, Reiki, and crystals was incredibly fascinating. My sister and I have already committed to starting a Reiki self-healing practice together. This book inspired meaningful conversations between us about finding ways to heal and find more joy in life. I highly recommend this wonderful book! I can't wait for the next one in the series.

Calm and Thoughtful
This book is a calm, thoughtful introduction to spiritual practices that many people may have heard about but feel intimidated to explore. The author presents chakras, Reiki, and crystals without judgment or pressure, making it accessible for both skeptics and the curious alike. Highly recommended for anyone looking to begin their spiritual exploration.

Gentle and Soulful
This book was exactly what it said it would be: a gentle introduction to spirituality and a few spiritual practices. It is an introductory book so it doesn't cover everything in depth, but that's the point — it's a gentle introduction. I liked the author's tone; it was inviting and gentle. It is a great starting point for women who aren't sure where to start. I'm looking forward to future books in this series!
