About Me

My interest in Reiki began in the 1990s with the study and practice of Qigong—a Chinese system of movement, massage, meditation, and breathing for improved wellbeing. In my teens, a counselor gave me a video on Chakra meditation, which ignited my desire to learn to meditate and brought to light my need to heal on a spiritual level. A meditation experience on the beach in Oregon guided me to move to Arizona to find a teacher. There I attended Prescott College, taking classes in Visual Arts and Holistic Health. An opportunity arose, and I took a break from my studies to complete a traditional three-year retreat in the Drikung Kagyü Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism at the Garchen Institute, where I lived and worked from 2003 to 2008.

Shortly after retreat, I finished my bachelor’s in Humanities with an emphasis in Tibetan Buddhist Studies from Prescott College in 2009, with minors in Visual Arts and Liberal Arts. Following a dream, I went on to graduate with a master’s in Art Education from Indiana University in 2016. When I realized classroom teaching wasn’t a match for me, another counselor gave me permission to pursue my passion for holistic health and wellness, and I enrolled in Indiana Therapeutic Massage School in 2016. I earned my Reiki Master/Teacher Certification from Christine Eartheart that year and began practicing as a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2017.

As a Reiki Therapist, I call on the universal energy, angels and guides, and the light of your soul. I focus my intention on your healing, your highest good, and the greater good of all beings. I meditate on universal life force energy, which then flows to wherever your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies need it most. Reiki goes where it is needed; all you have to do is be open to receive it. Reiki activates your relaxation response, so you can relax, let go, and effortlessly enter the world of spirit. It is there you will find the rest, renewal, and healing that you seek.
