About Me

My spiritual journey began over forty years ago.  Like many people, I have lived through many difficult and joyous transitions in life. (Some were messy and some were graceful).  During a painful transition period in my life a need for more emotional  balance led me to meditation, and  I have been a dedicated  practitioner of meditation for 25 years. This life journey led me to Reiki; a gift I am grateful for everyday. 

 

In 2002, when a friend asked me to attend a Reiki Level I certification class. Intuitively, I said "Yes", not really knowing what Reiki was.  When the Reiki Master put their hands over my ears, the  energy emanating from their hands stopped the ringing in my ears for the first time in years.  I was in awe of Reiki energy and received my in Level I attunement in Reiki.

 

Fifteen years later, I experienced another emotional upheaval which resulted in a loss of identity. And I was led to Reiki by a friend;  Reiki allowed me to heal and transformed my life. It was then I knew I wanted to share this gift with others. After a long circuitous route, in 2020 I was certified in Reiki Level II.   Two years later, November 2022, I became a Reiki Master Practitioner in the Usui Reiki system of Natural Healing, and in February of 2024, a Master in Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki®.   I am thankful all my Reiki teachers, Mellanie Smith, Mindy Leone, and Colleen Bennelli. 

 

Truly, I have been blessed in my life. I have a thirst for knowledge of all kinds - I consider myself a lifelong learner. For over two decades  I have taught high school English and Social Studies. Along the way, I have earned a Master's Degree in education and a graduate degree in Literacy, as well as certification to teach mindfulness to high school students.   I am passionate about helping others to find their path. And now, Reiki is  an essential part of the equation.Reiki is one of the highest forms of service.  

 

One of my core beliefs is that we can start over anytime ... whether it be the tiniest of changes or  monumental shifts ... from attitude, to career, to place.  Change is the one consistent aspect of life, and transitions can be difficult.  In one way or another we are always in transition, the gift is knowing we have choice in how we approach change and transition.  Both meditation and Reiki help me to navigate these challenges with heart.  These practices have enhanced all areas of my life, allowing me to be more present, opening my heart to more joy, and embracing the gifts of those difficult life transitions.  I have seen miracles happen! I know Reiki and mindfulness can enhance your life too!
