“I’ve always been into natural healing,” Versala Parish Anderson says. Her voice is warm, the kind of tone that immediately sets the nervous system at ease. She calls herself a researcher by instinct, a woman who follows the quiet nudges, inner knowings, and signs she believes God places along her path.
Versala set up Rhythm Wellness Center to be a manifestation of that faith: a place where people can remember what their bodies are capable of, and where healing feels possible again.
Healing was woven into the fabric of her childhood. Her mother and father used natural remedies, and encouraged her curiosity about them. Later, when her mother remarried, stepfather “Papa” taught her to honor the body’s design. “They had only scratched the surface,” she says, “but those seeds stayed with me.”
Her whole life, her faith has illuminated places modern medicine couldn’t always reach. Years ago, when her mother was hospitalized with an intestinal obstruction doctors couldn’t explain, Versala combed through research until she found a natural solution (a castor oil pack) — and watched the blockage dissolve. “Things in the earth were created for our benefit,” she says. “Our bodies know how to heal. Sometimes they just need support.”
But her deepest clarity came through loss. Within five months, she lost both her mother and father, and not much later, her beloved husband. “I had the kinds of relationships people dream about,” she says quietly. “When I walked into the room, their eyes lit up. I was adored.” Losing that constellation of love changed her… but it also called her. As she studied holistic health through Trinity School of Natural Health, she realized: much of what she was learning could have supported the people she loved most.
“It became my mission,” she says. “If I can help someone avoid the suffering my family faced, then that’s what I’m here to do.”
Rhythm Wellness Center revealed itself to her, the way a truth becomes undeniable just before you say it out loud. Like the space itself. Where others saw only an abandoned unit in a strip mall, Versala saw a blueprint for a sanctuary. “I walked in and knew exactly where everything would go,” she shares. “It felt like God saying, ‘Build it here.’”
Inside that transformed space, people often describe transformation. They say walking into the foot soak room feels like stepping into a loving mother’s hug. Some immediately cry without knowing why. Others leave feeling unburdened. “Love leaves an imprint,” she says. “People can feel it when they walk in.”
Versala works intuitively with each visitor. Some already know what modality calls to them: salt cave, red light therapy, sound bowls. Others ask her to guide them. She listens for what they say, what they don’t say, and what she senses. “Every person is different,” she notes. “What works for one body doesn’t automatically work for another.”
One woman arrived with an oxygen tank (which she called her “little buddy”). Unable to go into the cave, she sat at the archway for the healing benefits. Over time, the woman became able to walk on her own to the heart of the cave—without “little buddy” in tow. Her strength returned; her balance grew steadier. “It may look like coincidence,” Versala says, “but sometimes God prepares the answer before you even know the question.”
Another couple arrived having lost two loved ones in quick succession. Versala closed the building early, set up sound bowls inside the cave, and let the vibrations do what words couldn’t: settle their grief. “They came in heavy,” she says. “They walked out lighter.”
For Versala, true wellness begins in this order: spirit, then mind, then body. “If your spirit is grounded, everything else aligns,” she says.
Her hope for Rhythm Wellness Center is as simple as it is profound: “I want it to be a pathway to healing and knowledge.” And by knowledge, she means that inner knowing she’s guided by, the quiet certainty that lives beneath thought. In Versala’s view, healing isn’t a miracle reserved for the lucky; it’s a rhythm we were all born with, waiting to be reclaimed.
“Your body was designed to heal,” she says. “You just need the right rhythm.”
Rhythm Wellness Center offers Pink Himalayan salt cave sessions, red light therapy, infrared sauna, sound and vibrational therapy, bioenergetic body–field scanning, personalized wellness coaching, and Versala’s signature mineral foot soaks.
Each modality at Rhythm Wellness Center is a doorway back to the self. Each plays its own role in restoring balance: softening breath, lifting heaviness, or inviting quiet back into the nervous system. They’re all tools that help the body remember how to heal.

Versala’s At-Home Rhythm Foot Soak
Versala gave Royal Oak City Lifestyle readers this grounding ritual to wash the day away. She’s soaked at the end of each day since her twenties. It’s a practice she calls “washing the day off.”
Revitalizing Clay + Salt Foot Bath
This soothing foot soak is designed to combine the grounding effects of bentonite clay with the muscle-relaxing power of mineral salts. The process is simple, and you can use whatever container you have on hand, such as a foot tub, a plastic bin, or even a sturdy dishpan.
You’ll Need
- Bentonite clay* (about 2 tablespoons; can be found at your local pharmacy)
- Apple cider vinegar (around 1 tablespoon)
- A small splash of water if the mixture is too thick
- Epsom salt (½ cup)
- Warm to hot water, enough to fill your basin
- Essential oils, if you enjoy an aromatic boost (optional)
* Note: Bentonite clay is easy to find online, and in major retail and pharmacy chains.
How to Create the Soak
- Prep the Salt Water
Warm several quarts of water until it’s hot but still safe for soaking. Pour it into your basin and stir in the Epsom salt until fully dissolved. Set it aside for temperature to settle. - Mix the Clay Blend
In a separate bowl, combine the bentonite clay with the apple cider vinegar. Add just a little water if it’s too thick. Aim for a smooth, spreadable consistency. - Apply the Clay
Coat your feet and ankles with the clay mixture. Let it dry until you feel the clay tightening and cracking slightly. - Begin the Soak
Once the water's comfortable to the touch, add a few drops of essential oil if desired. Then gently place your clay-covered feet into the salt water. The clay will soften and release into the bath. - Relax + Restore
Soak for about fifteen minutes. When finished, lightly exfoliate your feet with a natural bristle brush to remove any lingering clay or dry skin. - Rinse + Dry
Rinse your feet well and pat them dry. Many people enjoy doing this routine before bed because of how calming it feels, but it’s helpful any time you need a moment of renewal.
