    I trust your inner guru potential and partner in true collaboration.

    I have a unique combination of clinical training and holistic practice to integrate the mind, body, heart, soul, and energy for nervous system rewiring, resetting beliefs, energetic hygiene to invite care and deep transformation.

    I also understand the sorrows and joys that accompany a healing journey. My interest in holistic healing became a requirement in order for my own personal retrieval and return home. It was a beautiful alignment which led me to educations, trainings, and practices integrated.

The Session

  • Your care, comfort, understanding and consent is honored throughout the practice. We can only go as fast as a nervous system will allow.

    1) Our initial connection is a space for sacred listening to learn about you, your needs, intentions for care and answer any questions.

    2) When collaboration feels like a good fit then mutual agreements are completed, scheduling, and payment.

    3) Meet for your healing session and discuss protocols for your healing.

    4) Treatment begins

    • Together, we will create sacred space for protection and connection with celestial allies throughout the healing session and beyond.

    • Participants typically lay on a massage table under fresh sheets and blanket. The amount of disrobing for treatment is determined by the client. Typically, clients disrobe privately to their undergarments and are sock-less.

    • Clients have a choice of hands on or off treatment.

    • The practitioner will guide the healing session of reiki, stone medicine or m multidimensional liberations providing a combination of holistic, energetic, evidence-based therapeutic practices to meet your healing intentions.

    5) Post session processing, Integration and reviewing after care recommendations. You may be provided a Home Integration Kit and if so, intentions will be reviewed.

  • No. Your comfort leads. The amount of disrobing is determined by you. Disrobing is not required.

    Typically, clients whom choose to disrobe are given privacy to their choice or undergarments. They are under a fresh sheets & blanket for Stone Medicine treatments as access to meridian points are necessary. However, clients can place stones upon themselves if they prefer.

    Reiki is completed fully clothed.

    Shoes are removed for all treatments.

    Clients have a choice of hands on or off treatment.

  • Both are available. We’ll discuss your preferences and boundaries. You can switch to hands-off at any time.

  • People commonly report relaxation, emotional release, clarity, or feeling more grounded. Integration can continue for a few days.

    Sometimes people experince, a Law of Cure Reactions:

    After a treatment one may experience physical or emotional symptoms. Latent energies are rising for release and consciousness. Trust the process and keep faith with healing intentions.

    Should this happen, extend the regimen recommended, taking care to stay well hydrated, get plenty of rest, and generally be kind to yourself.

    I am here to support and please reach out with questions or concerns.

  • My wonderful teach, Marianne Streich has provided the following guidelines for after session care.

    “After a Reiki session, your energetic body remains in a stare of flux as it seeks stabilization and reintegration. It is important so support and assist this process in order to obtain the greatest benefit from the session.

    Reiki moves energy. During a Reiki session. Blocked or stagnant energy may be broken up and released, the energy of trauma transmuted, the flow of energy directed in a more balanced way.

    Depending upon how in tune you are with your own body, you may be aware of these shifts or not. Regardless, changes are taking place. A lot happens!

    Here's how to obtain the greatest benefit from a Reiki Session:

    Listen to your body. You may feel energized and enthusiastic about taking on new projects or tacking old ones. You may feel tired and need rest You may want to spend the remainder of your day with a good book. Respond appropriately by giving your body what it asks for.

    Avoid taking a bath or shower for 12 hours following a session to help energy stabilize.

    Then within 24 hours, if possible, take a salt bath, adding a cups or more of sea salt to warm bath water and soaking for 20 minutes or longer. This helps to cleanse the body energetically as well as remove toxins from the skin, the body's largest organ for breathing. It is also nurturing and refreshing.

    For 3 days following a Reiki Session:

    1. Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine.

    2. Drink enough water to stay well hydrated.

    3. Eat light healthy meals abundant in vegetables. Avoid beef and pork.

    4. Get adequate rest. Exercise moderately. Avoid strenuous workouts.

    5. Spend time in nature-walk in a park; sit quietly near a body of water.

    6. Meditate or allow yourself 15-30 minutes of quiet time each day.

    7. Minimize screen time.

    8. Notice your feelings and the physical sensations in your body. Placing your attention on shifts taking place and insights gained will assist in anchoring new patterns, allowing them to become habit more easily.

    9. If you receive other energy work like massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, sound healing sessions etc. please schedule after 3 days of receiving a treatment.

    The session will be beneficial whether you follow these suggestions or not.

    However, incorporating them into your regimen will allow the energetic realignments set in motion during the session to stabilize and integrate more effectively on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

    Extend this period beyond three days if you are experiencing a healing reaction (see below). Or adopt them as part of a healthy lifestyle!

    Healing Reactions:

    After a Reiki treatment you may experience physical symptoms such as headache, nausea, fatigue. This is sometimes called a Healing Reaction or Healing Catharsis and is usually an indication that the body is detoxifying in preparation for healing. Should this happen, extend the regimen recommended above, taking care to stay well hydrated, get plenty of rest, and generally be kind to yourself.

    Such symptoms typically dissipate within a few days. They are more likely to occur if you have not had energy sessions previously, if you have a chronic condition, or if you are chronically stressed. They are also an indication that more Reiki is needed.”
