How I got here

After years of working in the legal field, I began getting Reiki treatments to help me balance a stressful career and motherhood. My early experiences with Reiki were so profound that I decided to learn Reiki for myself.  I had no intention of ever doing this (Reiki) in real life as a full-time career.  These were just tools I was adding to my self-care routine, but Reiki and the Universe had other plans for me! I became a Reiki Master in 2014.  In 2015, I decided I wanted to start sharing Reiki with others, so I began volunteering at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts.  For two years I gave Reiki treatments to patients in the Cancer and Bone Marrow Transplant wards.  I was blessed with many opportunities at Beth Israel and even got a chance to give Reiki to a patient in pre-op and then accompany her all the way into the operating room. On another occasion, I was asked to give Reiki to a tiny 2 ½ pound baby in the NICU prior to her open-heart surgery.  It was at Beth Israel that my faith in energy medicine grew, and I was inspired to open my own Reiki practice. 

From 2018 until now, I’ve been blessed to enter many Reiki doorways.  I started with a small commercial space in Salem, MA, then converted to an online practice during the COVID pandemic, then to a hybrid practice of both online and in person as we emerged from the isolation of lockdown.  In 2023, after my adult child flew the nest, I put my practice on hold and moved to New York to live on campus at Omega Institute for Holistic Studies and work as a seasonal staff member. It was one of the most healing, transformative summers of my life!  When the season ended, I quickly discovered that law firm life no longer satisfied me.  I longed to be a full-time holistic healer and teacher.  For months I daydreamed and journaled about this and then the Universe took the wheel, and here I am!
