my path to reiki

I've always had a strong sense of intuition, even as a child. People often told me I was an 'old soul,' and I just seemed to have a natural understanding of things, a sensitivity to spiritual energies and the subtle vibes around me.​ As I grew up, I tended to push those feelings aside, chalking them up to just being 'sensitive.'

Like many of us, I lost touch with that part of myself during adulthood, falling into patterns of people-pleasing and neglecting my own needs. For a while, I felt like I was on autopilot, not really sure where I was going.​

My desire to serve others led me to a career in nursing, particularly in critical care, which was both challenging and deeply fulfilling. A significant spiritual awakening prompted me to reevaluate my path, leading to transformative personal changes.​

I realized I needed to reconnect with my intuitive gifts and embark on a journey of personal healing.​ This journey led me to rediscover my innate abilities, trust my intuition, and commit to my own well-being. I explored various healing modalities, including therapy and yoga, eventually completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training. I'd been drawn to Reiki for years, and finally, I pursued and achieved my Usui Reiki Master certification.​

Reiki feels like a natural extension of my calling to care for others. It’s a beautiful and transformative practice that allows me to channel healing energy and support others on their path to balance and well-being. At times, I also use tarot as a tool for guidance, offering insights and clarity to those seeking direction.​

Beyond my work with energy healing, I believe in living a full and vibrant life. You'll often find me laughing with friends, exploring nature through hiking, traveling to new places, enjoying patio season, indulging in reality TV, and dancing at music festivals. I firmly believe that spirituality and enjoying life's pleasures can coexist.​ I'm a lifelong learner, constantly seeking to expand my knowledge of metaphysical and intuitive practices. I'm passionate about sharing my experiences and helping others discover their own inner peace and healing.
