But when I got very sick several years ago, traditional medicine failed. It was only through nontraditional treatment – especially acupuncture and Chinese herbs and medicine – that I began to recover my health. I soon realized that the whole experience was leading me in a different direction in my life when I was able to help a friend who was suffering from a severe migraine. When she said to me, "You have a healing touch," everything began to fall into place, and I knew that this was my mission in life. Soon afterward I discovered the wonderful power of Reiki, a special kind of healing touch, and embarked on extensive training. I have been practicing and teaching Reiki since 1997. Around that same time I also received training in Past Life Regression, followed by further training and national certification in hypnosis. I still value and use my expertise in nutrition to help clients lose weight and establish a good base for physical health, but it is only with the addition of so-called alternative therapies that I feel I am really helping the whole person. All of the disciplines I use work together and complement each other. Good nutrition helps build a strong body and supports good health. Hypnotherapy reinforces the individual plan and gives people the motivation they need to succeed. Flower essences promote healing in more subtle ways, on the mental and emotional level. And Reiki helps people relax that so that the other therapies will be more effective. When I see what a need there is for healing in the world today, I’m honored to be able to do my small part by helping individuals discover greater balance and health in their lives. Doing this gives me a lot of joy, and I hope to be able to share my skills and joy with you. I feel honored to be a facilitator of healing for other people. If you feel led in your heart to me, it will make me very happy to help you reconnect with the wholeness that is within you. I look forward to talking with you soon! > back to top
