Our experiences bring us into our true path
"While in nursing school and working on the hospital units, I realized the importance of a gentle touch and loving attention with my patients. The soothing backrub and the time spent sitting down and talking to a patient who was experiencing fear and pain, were measures that came so easy for me and made all the difference to my patients in their recovery. I knew that I could share my heartfelt love, focused attention, and touch with my patients and saw the difference it made for them. At the same time, I was "becoming a nurse", two pioneering nurses, Dolores Krieger and Martha Rogers, were developing scientifically based interventions focused on two concepts: intentionally directed energy exchange and that human beings are energy in a form of a "field".

​​Reiki Classes
​
​Learning Reiki is wonderful, has many benefits and can be learned by anyone. You can use it for your own self-care and relaxation or use it with family, friends, pets and plants. You may also want to help others at a deeper level and are considering becoming a practitioner. Each and every reason is wonderful.

Reiki Clinics
​
Reiki Clinics are a great way for me to introduce Reiki and a mini session to the community, especially to those who may not come for a full individual session. These are free and a great way to experience a short Reiki treatment.
