Been out on the family farm to help with harvest the last week and a half, but talking walks and reminiscing over my childhood. Found this amazing piece of cedar I’m hoping to bring back and treat for driftwood!

After almost 10 years of massage therapy, Healing Hands is stepping back as the main face for Helsel’s Hobbies. Although I will always have a desire to help others on their health journey, self care is a priority. Without care for one’s self we cannot carry others.

Changes will be coming to this page with a new focus on plants and animals -
HERPS & HORTICULTURE !

Over the last year my hubby and I have been expanding our artistic skills into CUSTOM REPTILE ENCLOSURES & AQUARIUMS, from small background inserts to waterfalls and full enclosure setups. Love of nature and a green thumb has led to quite the collection of terrestrial and aquatic plants that are now available for sale on Marketplace and soon to other platforms as well. Backgrounds will be available later this fall and enclosures will follow in the winter.

If you’re anxious to get started sooner with your own vivarium setup, reptile safe plants, springtails, isopods and driftwood are available now! Bioactive soil coming in a few weeks.

For those with aquariums, live plants, Neocaridina shrimp in red, yellow or black (more colors coming!), guppies, and a few varieties of snails are available. In the next few months standard bristlenose plecos will be ready, with many other varieties coming in the next year!
