About Me

The Full Story

Although I am the spry young age of 42, I am an old soul who has seen much in this life and beyond. I say this for many reasons. I have been a Registered Nurse practicing mainly in critical care for the last 22 years. I have walked beside death, sickness, suffering and pain long enough to understand the changes they bring to each soul they touch. Long enough to see them coming before the realization of the one they will be making their home with knows of the shadows that will be knocking at their door. I have also walked the journey of single motherhood as mother to a beautiful ray of light who I would give my last breath to see succeed in this world, for himself and all those he will touch with his own heart on his journey. I have journeyed through addiction, abuse, homelessness, depression, anxiety, near suicide, and have now, through the Grace of my Creator, made it back around. I completed that circle of learning through darkness, and transformed. I am now whole and standing in a Light I wish to shine into this world so brightly it acts as a beacon to all of those in need of it. A Light that comes not from me, but from the one who held me in it when I was in my darkest moments and could not see my way out. 

​

I found my way to that light through Reiki. And it saved my life.

​

I have been in many programs throughout the years on my journey to figuring out how I could best help people to heal and stay out of the place I have spent so many long hours working in. I have studied naturopathic healing, Ayurveda, shamanism, meditation, spirituality, you name it and I still continue to study to this day. There are many beautiful paths to wholeness. None of them wrong if they are approached with the intention of you highest and greatest good at heart.

​

And yet, I still saw my clients and patients suffering in their ability to feel balanced and healthy emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually, as well as make the choices needed to ensure they would be moving towards those things. And not only did my clients and patients struggle with those things, so did I. After years of struggling from abuse and addiction, I was on a very dark path when I found my way into the Light that is brought by Reiki. That moment, combined with a willingness to surrender the control I so naively though I had over my life into the hands of One who was far greater at at guiding me than I ever could be on my best day, opened a door to healing in a way I never could have imagined possible. Anxiety, depression, pain, a desire to escape into the arms of anything that would keep me from not having to face the pain of my reality all faded as I allowed the healing Light of Reiki to wash over me on a regular basis. If you spoke to anyone in my family they would whole-heartedly assure you that I am an entirely different person than I was years ago when this journey began. Not just physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and it came from flooding my self with Reiki on a daily basis and walking that path of healing. Chronic pain and multiple medical conditions all faded as I continued to practice on my healing journey with Reiki. 

​

Now let me be clear. Am I saying that Reiki will come in and heal every part of you and you will be instantly cured of all of your problems and sickness? Absolutely not. One, if you are not willing to do the work that comes with the desire to heal, no amount of Reiki or anything else for that matter is going to heal you. Healing requires work. It requires pain at times. Yes. Pain. As well as a willingness to walk through the discomfort of realizing that you hold responsibility for all of the choices that have led you to the exact moment you are in right now. And that can be a tough one to swallow. It is the reason so many run to the escape of anything and everything that will keep them from having to face the truth of who they truly are, the truth of what has hurt them, and the choices they have made because of it, and that includes myself. But that medicine goes down a lot smoother when washed down with the Light of Reiki. That is the beauty of Reiki. This Divine loving Life-force Energy comes in, and if you allow it, finds a way to help you release the things that are keeping you from being the shining, happy, healthy light you were meant to be in this world. Not a day goes by that I do not shed tears over the blessing that finding this gift has been in my life and the lives of those I have seen it touch. 

​

You can read more in the educational section on what Reiki is and how it works. But the deep and heart-felt reason behind why I want to share this gift with the world is that I know it works, I have faith it will work for you in the way it is meant to, and the world is in desperate need of this Light, now more than ever. And that is because the core of what Reiki is, is love. It is pure, Divine, non-judging, life-sustaining Love. There is no greater power to heal this world or anything in it that exists than the power of Love. And there is no greater love that exists than the Love that comes from the very Source of Creation, containing within it a Divine Love-Light so great it can't be fathomed by our human selves. Now let me be clear, because it's my website and I get to say whatever I want here:) I am a Jesus loving, God Fearing, super nerdy, scientific minded, spiritual human being who believes in all kinds of things now that my eyes have been opened to worlds that those who spend their time scrolling and sleep walking do not see, but there is ONE thing that matters more than ANY fact proven or unproven, and that is that the world and every single one of us in it is in desperate need..... of Love. Period. 

​

Just one moment of receiving pure love from someone can change their life. A smile at the checkout line from someone who lets you go ahead of them when you only have two items and they have a cartful. A kind word from someone when you are feeling alone and unseen. A compliment when all you can give yourself is criticism. That one car that lets you in on the freeway when nobody else would and you're running out of road. The arms that hold you when you cant stop sobbing because of the life that was just ripped away from you. The hand that's laid on your chest filling you with light and lifting you up so that you can finally do what you haven't allowed yourself to do for so many years......breathe. â€‹Just breathe.

​

That is why I walk this path. Seeing those moments of love transform another soul is worth more than any riches I could find on this Earth. With the humility that has come from being broken more times that I can count and allowing myself to be reshaped into a vessel that stands in awe of the Light that shines through it each day, I walk unashamed, as a torchbearer to shine that Divine Light as far into the darkness as it will be received.

​

So if you're brave enough to walk that path and decide to come through my door some day, the world will be just a bit brighter because in that one moment you did something incredibly brave....you chose love.

​

Well done.....and welcome
