  • Reiki Master-Teacher and Intuitive Empath

    • 2011 - Present

    Reiki is a powerful energy healing modality that flows through the hands to treat self and others. My Reiki sessions include channeled guided deep visualizations which powerfully accelerate your healing process. Reiki clients also typically receive divine guidance and intuitive messages during a session.The ability to channel Reiki is passed down through an unbroken lineage of living masters through the three-level attunement process. For individuals who are inspired to begin or expand their healing path, a Reiki attunement reawakens the healer within and opens the recipient to powerfully channel Reiki.Card readings provide guidance directly from your higher self to help with any life area: health, money, romance, family, career, etc. If you've got a question, the cards will help us to recognize the answer..
