Practice summary, primary services offered:
As a Reiki master practitioner, I offer Reiki Level 1 classes, which teach the student Reiki self-treatment as well as treating others. With Reiki 2, students who have completed Reiki 1 deepen their practice and learn to give distant Reiki treatments. I offer small classes and individualized instruction with plenty of practice time. I continue to offer Reiki sessions to clients at Whole Health Family Medicine.
What first drew you to this profession?
I was given the opportunity to become a Reiki practitioner by taking a course offered by one of my nurse colleagues who was a Reiki master teacher. We then treated patients, families and staff to enforce a calm, restful environment within the cardiac intensive care unit.
How is your work different from that of others in your profession?
As a retired critical care nurse, I am bringing my Reiki practice from the hospital setting to serving the community. I stress the importance of Reiki bringing balance emotionally and physically to the client, promoting rest and relaxation. I offer Reiki classes in the traditional style as a single modality for healing.
What should a patient/client expect from working with you?
My classes stress Reiki for self-care and treating others. There is ample time in my classes for practice and discussion. The client they are treating should enjoy a Reiki treatment in a calm, relaxed environment.
How is your practice evolving in the coming year?
I will be teaching a Reiki master class this fall at the Buttonwood Tree Performing Arts Center. Reiki classes 1 and 2 are available.
What do you most want Natural Awakenings’ readers to know about you and your practice?
My critical care nurse work has inspired me to take a holistic approach to health care. I have been offering Reiki treatments in Whole Health Natural Family Medicine, a place of serenity. In addition to teaching, I also facilitate Reiki shares where students and practitioners can practice together in a safe environment. I adjust my teaching to the needs of the individual.
