After a serious car accident, other physical and emotional injuries, and a few surgeries, I started to lose hope for getting better. But Reiki helped and guided me on my healing journey on many levels.

My life has never been the same since that first Reiki session.

I was amazed at how fast and deep I could connect with myself after receiving the session. Reiki cleared blockages that kept me from hearing my inner guidance for my life journey. It’s increased my ability to listen.

What really touched my soul is that Reiki gives us the ability to heal ourselves. Self-Reiki treatments and Distance Reiki was something that I never heard till 2015.

Those words weren’t a part of my daily vocabulary as it is now. Distance Reiki was the tool I wanted to use for my mother who lives in Ukraine. I was always stressing out if something would happen back home. Now, my way of dealing with it is: “I will send you Reiki, Mom!”. It helps me to be in a state of peace and calmness even when stressful situations occur.

I strive to treat people the way I would like to be treated and Reiki supports me with this intention.

Looking forward to sharing the gift of Reiki with you.

I went to the University of Arizona in 1989. University life wasn’t easy. Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD, having my back nearly broken, and having a kidney contusion in 1992 had me going to many medical doctors but they couldn’t find anything to “fix.” This started sending me looking for relief beyond conventional medicine. I received acupuncture, rolfing®︎ , and chiropractic adjustments since they were the only treatments that gave any pain relief.

After graduating with a degree in Spanish, I moved to Japan in 1998. Two years later, Reiki introduced itself to me. I found “The Original Reiki Handbook Dr. Mikao Usui” by Frank Arjava Petter in a book store in 2000. After reading it, I remember thinking “This may be useful one day” and I put it on the shelf. I did not touch that book for the next 16 years. In between times, I became a Hawaiian Hula dancer at Hula Halau Hui Lehua and eventually moving up to be an instructor under Kumu Yoko Shidara. I also became a certified Spiritual/Intuitive Life Coach and a Coaches Associate with Specialities in Cultural Connections and Health and Wellness through The Life Strategies Now Academy.

Even after all that, my mind was rarely quiet. I always felt I was having discussions with other people. At the suggestion of Lena, who had received her level one attunement, I got a Reiki session. I remember waking up feeling calm, centered, the mind chatter was gone….

and I had to know “WHAT JUST HAPPENED???” The Reiki Master told me I had so many energies from other people on me that I could hardly rest even in my sleep. But the Reiki master had cleared me of those other energies.

Since that day, I have been studying various forms of energy medicine with an emphasis on Reiki. I am still amazed at the simplicity, effectiveness and applicability of Reiki to any situation. Reiki has helped me to gently strengthen areas of my character that have been underdeveloped while returning overdeveloped areas back into balance. Since being attuned to Reiki, I can feel my spirituality and insight has grown in many areas.

Self-Reiki has been a wonderful addition to my efforts to live a healthy lifestyle, along with prayer, studying, exercise and healthy eating. Reiki helps remove excessive energy which keeps me grounded thus reducing my symptoms of ADHD. Since Reiki is an energy, becoming a practitioner increased my alertness and when I’m feeling tired during the day, I can give myself an energetic Reiki boost.

There are so many ways to use the Reiki energy to enhance your life, I cannot list them all. But I do look forward to sharing some of those ways with you.
