Shifting your outer world
starts from within
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
Reiki came into my life unexpectedly—and remains the most powerful support tool I know.
The first time I experienced Reiki was during a yoga healing class in Australia, where I was living at the time. At the end of the session, the teacher quietly placed her hands on each of us for about ten minutes, without explaining what she was doing. When it was my turn, I felt a strong wave of energy moving through my body—from my feet all the way up to the top of my head. Later, when she placed her hands on both sides of my head, I noticed pulsations and waves of energy between her hands moving back and forth. It was so clear and physical that I got curious about what she had been doing. After those ten minutes, there was a noticeable sense of ease within me—like something had softened. What had felt emotionally difficult before now felt more spacious and manageable.
After the class, I approached her and asked what she had done. She explained to me that she is also a Reiki Master and had been treating us with Reiki. Something in me immediately felt drawn to explore this practice—not only to support myself, but to eventually offer it to others.
My search led me to William Lee Rand, founder of Holy Fire® Reiki. He was offering trainings at the time in Maui—so I ended up flying there to begin my journey, attending Reiki Level I and II. That was over seven years ago.
Since then, I have given Reiki to hundreds of clients. I was able to observe how Reiki supports a wide range of concerns—from stress and tension to emotional processing and physical discomfort. While Reiki is often described as an energy healing method, it works on all levels. This is due to the fact that all our bodies or layers are closely interconnected. So when Reiki is bringing our energetic body back into alignment it has an immediate impact on all other layers, such as physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
I have seen clients recovering from chronic illnesses and pain, others reclaiming their inner power and connection to their intuition, releasing old thought or belief patterns that didn’t serve them anymore. I have witnessed clients change their career paths and start something completely new after receiving a Reiki treatment. And I have experienced how it helped clients to find deep inner peace, even amidst the most painful and difficult periods of their lives.
Along the way, I continued to deepen my practice with master-level attunements from some of the most respected teachers in the world. I studied under William Lee Rand himself, then with Hyakuten Inamoto, a Japanese Buddhist monk and founder of Komyo Reiki Dō. His teachings brought me closer to the roots of Reiki as it was originally practiced in Japan.
Most recently, I traveled to Tokyo to study with Toshikata Mochizuki, founder of the Vortex Reiki style. The training was held entirely in Japanese and attended only by native speakers. I was honored to be the first non-Japanese student to be welcomed into his circle. This immersion into the cultural and linguistic foundations of Reiki gave my practice a new layer of depth and authenticity.
The combination of Western and traditional Japanese training has shaped my work in a grounded and practical way. In my sessions and courses, I focus on creating a calm and safe space for people to explore through Reiki what they need most—whether that’s rest, inner peace, or support in navigating something difficult.
