"Reiki opened the door of possibility for me- it opened my heart, my mind and my eyes ( literally I see the vibrancy of nature differently than I did before!) This year I celebrate 15 years of teaching Reiki- I know I am on the right path- I have enjoyed every class I have ever taught and I have a deep respect and love for my students. 

 

I offer sessions that are a combination of modalities- Reiki, Applied Kinesiology, Holistic Hypnosis, Emotion Code, Compassionate Inquiry. I have found in my practice- that no two sessions are the same. We all require different things at different times- with Applied Kinesiology I am able to discern quickly and with reverence to the greatest and highest good – what the priorities are for the session. The goal of every session is always to increase the vibration of the client to assist them into living their best life as the best possible version of themselves.  

 

My first trip to Peru in 2012 was a game changer. I don’t know how else to describe it. I was deeply affected by the land, the people and by the Ayahuasca ceremonies. Ayahuasca has been a beautiful teacher in my life- showing me the things in my life I need to address, the parts of myself that aren’t so pretty and the path to forgiveness…all while holding me in such unconditional love. She is like a therapist without ego, and has become a part of my life. My experiences in the Andean mountains with the Andean shamans have been every bit as powerful and profound- connecting me deeply with the earth and those deeper wiser parts of myself. I am honoured to bring groups on these journeys to connect with the land, the medicine and the beautiful people I have come to know and love there."
