My Spiritual Journey and Awakening

tender spirit; one who feels empathy, love and compassion for her fellow human beings, animals, plants and trees.

My spiritual journey began when my husband and I moved from Alberta, Canada to Wisconsin in 2001, just before the 9/11 attacks. Saddened by this tragedy, and missing my family and friends, I fell into a deep depression that worsened as the days grew shorter and the Seasonal Affective Disorder that I had suffered with for years took hold. I was also recovering from back surgery, fibromyalgia and a host of other ailments.

After years of spending my days depressed, in pain, and feeling sorry for myself, I started looking for alternative therapies that might help alleviate some of the pain. I was never one for medications and wanted something that was medication free and non-invasive. That is when I discovered Reiki, signed up for a class, and never looked back.

Reiki helped me to relax, which in turn lessened the pain. It lifted my spirits and the depression subsided, although the Seasonal Affective Disorder, though diminished, was still evident. However, I was glad that Reiki helped to the extent that I did not need to be on antidepressants.

I was attuned under the Usui System of Natural Healing as a Reiki Master Practitioner and Teacher in 2012. While I have continued to progress through many different healing modalities, Reiki remains my first love. After each Reiki attunement, my intuitive abilities increased and I became aware of the movement of energy around living people, people that have passed beyond the veil, animals, and sometimes not so helpful entities!

I am certified as a Reiki Master/Teacher, Spiritual Counselor, ThetaHealing® Practitioner, Crystal Healer, and Angel Card Reader. I am also an intuitive energy reader, which means I can sense and feel your energy in order to help assess which healing modality would best fit with where you are on your journey.

I am committed to the development and advancement of my spiritual gifts by continuing to attend courses and workshops in areas that I feel would be of benefit to myself, my clients and students.
