Reiki found me by chance (or divine alignment) years ago. I didn’t quite understand what had happened or shifted after my first brief Reiki session, but I knew I felt amazing and…clearer. More peaceful. More aligned. The feeling was tangible, and I wanted it to last. I was so thankful for the relief Reiki gave me from my lifelong anxiety, stress, and fear that I sought to learn more. I found teachers who saw my gifts and taught me how to channel Reiki not only for myself, but also my family, loved ones, pets, friends, and community.
Eventually, I was inspired to use my own skill-set as a former college English professor to teach Reiki and yoga to others so they could become their own healers.
I took my effective, caring, personalized approach to teaching and curated sessions, workshops, and trainings so everyone could experience and learn Reiki and yoga. Through my unique Reiki-focused experiences, blending yoga, breathwork, and sound healing, students can embrace a purposeful, present, mindful life.
My greatest joy is holding space for the next generation.

Questions & Answers
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a subtle healing practice that helps your system attain balance. This balanced state elicits a relaxation response in your body, similar to meditation or a wonderful savasana at the end of a blissful yoga practice. From this more balanced, relaxed place, your body has the opportunity to do what it’s meant to - heal.
What is a Reiki session like?
A Reiki session is comfortable and relaxing. Many practitioners like myself use a professional massage table. You remain comfortably clothed as the practitioner moves quietly around the body, channeling Reiki through their hands for your benefit. You should always have autonomy in all aspects of the session.
Does Reiki really work over distance?
Reiki really does work over distance! Many practitioners have Reiki practices that are solely based in channeling distance Reiki. A distance Reiki session is just as relaxing as an in-person session, but you stay in the location of your choosing, like your home, or any quiet space you prefer. The benefits and experiences are still profound and beneficial.
How do I know if I’m ready to train as a Reiki practitioner?
It’s a personal question, and you should never feel forced to become a Reiki practitioner. Rather, if you’ve experienced Reiki (likely as a client in a Reiki session), and are called to learn more or share the practice with others, a Reiki training may be a good fit to further empower yourself. Training in Reiki allows you to channel Reiki for your own self-healing, as well as share the practice with others, if you want to.
Which type of Reiki training is right for me?
Reiki is traditionally taught in 3 levels, though some variations occur. Level I is considered Reiki for self and is the beginning of the Reiki journey. Level II encourages practicing Reiki for others (pets, plants, and food count!) and emphasizes the distance healing symbol so you can send Reiki over distance. Level III deepens your connection to the practice and creates a foundation for teaching Reiki to others. While courses are taken sequentially, there is no pressure to take all three levels or start a professional Reiki business. Many students take all three levels as part of their own personal growth.
Should I train in person or virtually?
A Reiki teacher should honor your learning style, preferences, and schedule. While some students thrive in an in-person setting, and possibly a small group, others prefer to learn in a private setting. A virtual training is ideal for students with unique schedules or who prefer to remain in their own environment.
Why is there a range of pricing for training?
I create a Reiki training that meets your unique preferences. Thus, there may be a slight variation in pricing based on the format of the training being in-person or virtual. In general, pricing is as follows:
Level I - $211-233
Level II - $266-288
Level III - $311-333
I strive to offer scholarships and create attainable pricing for all, so please reach out to make financial arrangements.
