I have always had a curiosity about how the natural world “works”. This led me to focus my education in the sciences, particularly medical science, so I obtained degrees in Medical Technology, and Physiology. For many years I worked in the medical field, in hospitals and pharmaceutical research.
After having children my intuitive inclinations were triggered and I was interested in how things worked beyond what proven scientific knowledge existed. I began my journey to seek ancient knowledge and natural intelligence by learning the energy therapy known as Reiki which I used for myself, family, and friends. As my Reiki practice evolved, I couldn’t contain my excitement about the results I was experiencing, and knew that so many people would benefit from Reiki that I had to share the knowledge of it by teaching.
I have been practicing and teaching Reiki for over 20 years. In 2005, I started a Reiki program of volunteers within a cancer treatment center which eventually extended to the associated medical center serving in-patients, care-givers, and medical staff. This also gave me the opportunity to teach Reiki to patients to promote relaxation, and to care-givers and medical staff to use as a tool along with medical treatment to aid healing and provide relief from physical and emotional discomfort. They also learned that Reiki helped them to deal with their own stress.
Because of my insatiable curiosity, I have studied many other complementary therapies and practices from meditation to shamanism and qiqong to crystal therapy. I have found that the healing process is unique to each individual and different practices will resonate with different people. That is why along with Reiki, I will incorporate and share techniques and information from other modalities according to each individual’s needs and preferences.
I also give presentations on Reiki and other practices used to relieve stress and promote wellness to various groups including medical professionals, students, corporate groups, and the general public – anyone interested in helping themselves stay balanced and healthy while navigating the challenges of life.
The combination of my scientific background and studies of traditional healing arts has enhanced my ability to teach which is what I find to be most rewarding. From sharing exciting new research in energy medicine during a presentation, to teaching Reiki and other practices geared toward maintaining and regaining health and well-being, I most enjoy empowering others.
My goal is to help you connect to, and strengthen the healing ability you have within.
