Reiki and mindfulness have been a natural path for me as I have been practising yoga and meditation for years. As a child, I was drawn to the energy in nature and animals, finding peace and comfort in their presence. I instinctively knew as a child that there was a common chord in the connection with nature and animals and our existence.
The mind is a powerful tool and I believe that we can achieve unlimited results in our quest to remove stress and live a more purposeful life using our minds to create our own harmony. Reiki has the power to bring you to a more natural state of being by helping reduce stress and increase your vitality. The word "Reiki" consists of two Japanese words: Rei meaning God's Wisdom and Ki meaning life force energy. The two words are a powerful force only limited by one's mind. I followed my calling to Reiki and achieved Usui Practitioner through Sabine Olson, a Reiki Master and healer. I achieved Reiki Master Teacher under the guidance of Virginia Smith, Reiki Master, teacher and healer. My love for animals led me to Kathleen Prasad's "Let the animals Lead Method," This is a groundbreaking approach to energy work by honoring animal agency, wisdom, independence and by giving animals a choice of how (and if) they want to participate in an energy healing Animal Reiki session. I joined the Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA) and trained with Leah D'Ambrosio, Vice President of SARA, in all levels of animal Reiki. My work as an animal practitioner is grounded in meditation, harmony, respect and honor for the animals and the animals' humans. I believe that there must be harmony between the human and the animal in order for both, animal and human, to truly thrive. For those that are interested in learning Kathleen Prasad's method of animal Reiki, I also teach all three levels of the "Let the Animal Lead" method of animal Reiki. Please see courses here. I am a registered certified Master/Teacher/Practitioner/Animal Practitioner with the Canadian Reiki Association(CRA). I am a certified Animal Teacher/Practitioner in the "Let Animals Lead Method" with the Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA) I invite you to join me on this journey seeking wellness, vitality and empowerment using the power of Reiki to heal the mind, body and spirit.
