My journey with healing began with recovery from back surgery in the mid 1970s. I wanted to explore complimentary and alternative healing modalities to traditional western medicine. I discovered Reiki as a gentle yet powerful way to reconnect with balance and inner clarity. Beginning in 1997 I studied with John Harvey Grey, a student of Hawayo Takata becoming a Reiki Master Teacher in the Usui tradition in 2003. 

Through years of study and practice, including Aura Soma, Polarity Massage, Aromatherapy and Shamanic Healing I learned to trust the body’s innate wisdom and the quiet intelligence of energy. This work continues to shape not only how I support others, but how I move through my own life—with presence, compassion, and respect for each person’s unique healing journey.

In my practice, I approach Reiki with deep listening and intuition creating a safe and supportive space for rest and restoration. Sessions may be helpful for those experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, life transitions, postpartum recovery, chronic tension, grief, fatigue, or a desire for deeper self-connection. Reiki is not a replacement for medical care, but a complementary practice that supports the nervous system, encourages energetic balance, and invites the body, mind and sprit to return to center in a state of ease.
