My healing energy begins from my heart, I have a compassionate soul for all living beings and creatures. Since a very early age I had a connection to the natural world .. plants, animals, the ocean, and all of Earth’s mysteries.

I began my journey of learning Reiki in April of 2015 when I met Reiki Master Eileen Dey Wurst who is the founder of the Reiki Training Program in Seattle, WA. The RTP was the only vocational school of Reiki recognized by the State of Washington. Practitioners would undergo a minimum of 100 hours of classes and training over the course of a year to become Washington certified Reiki practitioners. Eileen has over 30 years of experience as a counselor and Reiki teacher, through her own experiences and learning she shares her in depth knowledge of working with Reiki energy. Eileen’s program includes an entire perspective and training of not only Reiki, but she also teaches the importance of ethics and boundaries, how to cultivate a successful practice, and other integrative forms of Reiki healing.

Having also been a practitioner of tai chi and qigong for many years, I immediately fell in love with this deep connection of energy and healing. For the first time in my life, everything truly made sense .. Reiki just came so naturally to me. I attended monthly Reiki circles to practice with other practitioners and learn to just “notice” all the subtleties of what happens during a healing session. During classes, amazing things would happen in regard to what the other students and I would experience simultaneously. Energy and warmth radiating through the palms of my hands, I would see light, colors, and have visions. Each experience both giving and receiving Reiki was unique yet so extraordinary. In daily life and routine I began doing self Reiki and I was astounded at the healing that occurred. Bruises, blisters, cuts, bee stings, headaches and so many other ailments were healed within a very short amount of time. The Reiki energy simply goes where it is needed most, its healing is deep and profound.

Working as a hospice volunteer for EvergreenHealth in Kirkland is when I realized that my journey in this life time is to assist those in end of life transition. To be a compassionate presence and provide Reiki as comfort therapy to those in their last moments changed my own life. With all of the stigmas and fears that society has placed around death and dying, I hope to be that light in this world. This is my next journey and my life’s work.

In light!
