I became a Reiki master and mind-body coherence coach because I know what it’s like to feel bad and function poorly in the world. I want to help others recover their well-being by sharing the things that worked for me.

I was introduced to energy work in 2002, while training to become a massage therapist. At the time, I was an undiagnosed empath. I suffered from a long list of food intolerances and environmental sensitivities, as well as unpleasant physical and emotional symptoms including depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic fatigue, dry eyes, acne, osteoporosis, hot-flashes, Metabolic Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, headaches, and sinus infections. Many of these issues had been with me since childhood.

My health issues sent me on a journey to get well. I studied and tried out a wide range of energy-work models. After learning how to manage and fix my own issues, I discovered that I had developed many valuable skills that would help others too. So, I decided to become a Reiki practitioner and health guide for my profession. I’m glad now that I walked this path because I’m able to support people who are fighting and recovering from viral infections, which is so important today.

I have had Covid19 several times myself including long-hauler issues. I’ve also had reactions to vaccines. I think it’s possible to use Reiki to help vaccines work better with your body. I also think that some bodies may be confused by vaccines. I believe that the choice to vaccinate or not is very personal. Please know that I will support you whatever decision you make for your body about whether getting vaccinated is right for you.

I know that Reiki works because I have been able to use it to help my body recover from serious illness and I no longer have many of the uncomfortable symptoms that I used to have. I am grateful everyday that I learned Reiki! I’m happy to share with you the methods I’ve learned so that you may recover your well-being and also support the health of your family and pets. If you are skeptical about Reiki as a health practice, I encourage you to explore legitimate studies on Reiki that are posted on PubMed and are approved by the National Institute of Health. While Reiki is commonly called an “alternative medicine” practice, it is in fact a legitimate, scientifically supported, health practice. I encourage you to give Reiki a try. It may hold the answers that you need for yourself and your family.

When I am not doing Reiki sessions, I also enjoy writing, teaching, and creating activities to bring people together. I like to dance, sing, hike, go to the theatre, listen to books on tape, and watch G rated movies. (It’s an empath thing!)
