I have been keeping my own spiritual practice in San Francisco, CA for over twenty years, learning to live creatively every day and bring self-love to every moment. My path has lead me to an ever deepening connection to Mother Earth.

Life is a gift and I take time everyday to remember and learn what that gift is to me, simply enjoying the small and big pleasures.

What I have experienced is that the deeper and more courageously I delve, the more I see there is to discover. As a healer, this is what I bring to my practice.

I am a Reiki master, sound healer, and studied Fine Art at San Francisco State University. I bring all these modalities and life experiences into my healing practice.

I also offer the possibility of understanding emotions, gaining guidance for self care and spiritual growth through tarot readings. The new insights from a tarot reading can help to create the lives we want to live and experience it with love, joy and compassion for ourselves and others.

I am honored to be a Reiki Master because the ability to allow Reiki healing energy to move through my hands is a humbling gift. I have healed myself and continue to do so by giving myself Reiki healing every evening before sleep and in the morning before starting my day. It is a beautiful opportunity to support my system in the everyday. Reiki energy helps me to ground and center in my body. Reiki healing helps to clear my stress and come back to my truest self, my highest self.

Reiki energy healing never pushes anyone to heal. Reiki meets each person exactly where they are in their process and then gently starts to clear any imbalances that may be occuring. Reiki healing feels like unconditional love to me. It always supports and allows loving life force energy to heal and shift our bodies to a more balanced place.

The first time I had a Reiki session, I felt a deep relaxation and calmness inside my core. It felt like I had shifted more deeply home to my heart space. This amazing feeling is what drew me to want to become a Reiki Master. I had never felt this way before and wanted to learn all I could about Reiki energy and to be able to offer this to others. Everyone has their own experience with Reiki and may be different for each person, but I was amazed at the difference I felt inside myself.

Since becoming a Reiki practitioner, I have enjoyed supporting women in their healing process and helping them to gain more self worth and to feel more confidence in themselves. Everything I offer in my Reiki practice are things I have done for myself and want to share with others. I love offering fun ways to tap into a spiritual connection through daily spiritual practices such as, self love journaling, creating a personal altar, making a prayer/ intention bowl and offering uplifting reading materials.

in my Reiki practice I have witnessed many people learn to create more joy in their lives and appreciate making time to honor themselves through a daily spiritual practice. I am so grateful to Reiki healing and the beautiful ways it helps everyone to come back home to their own hearts if they are open. Reiki is a gift and I am incredibly grateful to be a Reiki practitioner, to be able to offer this loving healing method of Reiki healing energy.
