The Inn on Thistle Hill & Wellness Center

Known for its great food (our guests always give Chef 5 stars), Thistle Hill rooms are quiet, private, air-conditioned cottages with no next-door room noise.

Fantastically comfortable beds are made up with ironed high-thread-count cotton sheets.  We do have a  pet-friendly cottage.  Vegetarian menus available by prearrangement.

The mind/body connection is not the big surprise it was just a few short years ago.  Using frequencies to heal has become accepted in scientific conventional circles.  It’s only taken since the 1930's, when Dr. Royal Rife was reversing cancer with frequencies to come up with “frequency medicine.”

Here at Thistle Hill Wellness Center, we approach your journey to  re-establishment of health and serenity mainly by teaching how the body/mind/heart works, and also what you can do about it.

Because, guess what:  YOU are in charge of your health.  Not your doctor, not your insurance company  – You.

Here’s what you do:  

First, the Body - Clear out the physical toxins that are preventing healing, provide supplements as fuel, and therapeutic essential oils for their nutrients, and their frequencies.  To begin this, you receive the Aqua-Chi Foot Bath and Raindrop Technique essential oil application.  

Second, the Mind - Clear out mental toxins.  What I call Neg-speak.  Negative thoughts and spoken phrases.  Replace them with more balanced and “glass-half-full” thoughts and phrases.  Our Meditation Class will assist you to become even more aware and astute along with flushing out old mental stuff.  

And, Third - Clear out the effects of past events that have hurt you.  Meditation will certainly help with this.  However, the best and quickest way I have ever found is theEnergy Balancing technique that I learned as a child in India, combined with an intuitive consultation.  Let’s take out the old to make way for the new....

Most importantly, Educate yourself.  We will help you find the most informative books and websites.  And we are happy to share with you our 40 years’ of experience in health to help you through the overwhelming marketing blitz that we all experience when all we want is a high quality supplement.

We have classes, gatherings and private counseling available. Our broad range of classes and seminars include such subjects as “How to Use Therapeutic-grade Essential Oils for Health and Serenity” and “How the Digestion System Really Works and How to Make it Work Better (No More Acid Reflux!)”  Ask to be put on the Class Mailing List if you'd like to attend some of our classes.

About Seane O. Malone

Owner/Innkeeper Seane O. Malone has always been a traveler. She grew up in India,  Indonesia and the Orient where she developed her intuitive and healing abilities. She was trained in both eastern and western philosophies, yoga, meditation, music and dance and in the Energy Balancing techniques which she has refined and worked with ever since. When her father retired, she and her family moved to Texas, her father's home state.

Seane danced with the Houston Contemporary Ballet both inHouston and then later in New York where she also sang professionally. She studied pottery with world-renowned potter, James Makins and opened her own pottery in Pennsylvania and then later in Montreal, Canada . Some of her ceremonial and functional pieces are in use and on display not only in the United States but also in Japan and in Canada .

While in Texas, she attained her ministerial degree. In the years since, she studied with many highly respected people in the field, such as Rev. Eleanor Button, Ram Dass (Dr. Richard Alpert), Healer Olga Worrell, Hypnotherapist Dr. Winkler, Dr. James Judd, SantKeshevedas, Sadhu Singh (3HO Foundation), Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan (Sufism), Red Eagle (Shaman), Peter and Eileen Caddy of Findhorn, Scotland, and Dr. D. Gary Young, Founder Young Living Essential Oils, among others.

She currently is the Executive Vice President of the National Holistic Education Association.

When she moved to Washington, DC from Montreal in 1995, she fell in love with the energy ofRappahannock County in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and resolved to live there'someday.'  Well, that 'someday' is now. Having found a well-known bed and breakfast on ten acres near Sperryville and Culpeper, she bought it, and renamed it “The Inn on Thistle Hill, Bed & Breakfast andWellness Center ” where she shares her knowledge and experiences in classes and workshops at theWellness Center .  She also is available for Private Readings, Raindrop Technique Aromatherapy and Energy Balancing Sessions.

Seane's thrilled to offer The Inn on Thistle Hill in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, where she is putting to use all her experience in making The Inn on Thistle Hill and Wellness Center a haven for fellow travelers and a place of learning, creativity, wellness and serenity where people can come to enjoy fabulous food, relax, rejuvenate and re-energize.

The Inn on Thistle Hill Bed & Breakfast  is located in Boston, VA between Culpeper and Sperryville on Hwy 522 North (a.k.a. Sperryville Pike and in Culpeper, Evans Street).   We're about 15 to 20 minutes away from Little Washington, VA and the Inn at Little Washington.

Be aware that we've had a couple of guests follow Mapquest's directions and have been taken on an extremely lengthy over-the-moutains-and-through-the-woods kind of way.  Nice scenery, lonnng drive.  If the map and directions listed below are not sufficient, just give us a call and we'll be glad to help!
