Reiki Master Teacher
I took my first Reiki class in 1989; and my life began to change almost immediately after that, as more and more I began to gravitate toward the healing arts. Within a few years, I was able to give up my work as an art editor, and devote myself to studying energy and to developing my healing practice, which includes Reiki, energy balancing, and Jin Shin Jyutsu acupressure. I have now studied four types of Reiki, have co-written a Reiki book, and have been teaching Reiki since 1996.

In my private sessions, I am likely to incorporate elements from many modalities. I see that everyone has the potential to be healthy and satisfied, and with care and compassion, I work toward helping people achieve a state of wholeness and a sense of well-being and inner peace.

But what I love most of all is teaching! It gives me intense pleasure to empower people, to watch them literally taking their own process of healing into their own hands through the practice of Reiki. After all, it was taking my first Reiki class that started me on this wonderful healing journey.

My work as a visual artist, improvisational dancer, and writer connects and intertwines with my work in the healing arts. Each one influences the other; and I attempt to bring spirituality, innovative energy, and a sense of play to all the areas in my life.

In 2004, I moved from the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania to Orcas Island, in Washington State. Yet as much as I love my island home, my roots in the Pocono Mountains run very deep, so I come back four times a year to reconnect and to do the work I love.
