Hello and Welcome! My life and career has been driven by the concept of empathy.  I named our home Empathic Soul House and I am building a vacation home and business retreat that radiates empathy for all people who visit our home … a home that lets you breathe, meditate, chill, and empty your mind of usual daily rigors that clog up our minds. The house sits on six acres of zen inspired landscaping to help bring some peace and tranquility to your day.        

Empathic Soul House is hosted by a superb local SuperHost by the name of Rosalie Geminiano.
