    #124 Have you tried the innovative, super effective, long lasting Energy and Body Healing modality-The Emotion Code?

      1. Ivy JesseKa Rose Levinson

        I am confused. I spent a long time filling out my profile and I saved it. Not sure why it’s not appearing for you.

        1. The Wellness Universe Post author

          Hi @ivyjessekaroselevinson if you filled it out and saved it by clicking the button at the bottom of the ‘About’ section and it did NOT save, please submit a ticket to the tech team via the purple ‘feedback’ tab at the bottom of the site. Once you fill out your profile, a great way to test what the public sees is to log out and pot your first name in the the gold & indigo seach par on the home page and visit your profile as a visitor would.
          🙂
          Anna

          1. Ivy JesseKa Rose Levinson

            Hi Anna,

My photo is above nxt to my name which I did this morning while I was in my profile. Please let me know if there is an issue. It seems to have been saved on my end. Thank you!?
