Reiki Session
Reiki is a form of holistic medicine also known as energy healing.

The experience is relaxing, harmonizing and balancing.

Breath-Body-Mind Coherence Breathing
This breath work allows one to feel calm or relaxed, very similar to alternate nostril breathing. Science has shown that it balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system which impacts the entire body. Well used by many athletes, this practice is optimal for regulating blood pressure and assisting with depression and anxiety, to name a few.
Please allow 60 minutes for a session - group sessions are available.

Vibrational Communication
Flower remedies have been used for centuries across the world. Every person is different and reacts in various ways to external influences. Body testing it utilized to see if a flower essence is the right option at this time and to customize it for you. I use two different types of vibrational communication - one for alleviating physical pain, the other for emotional.
Please allow 60 minutes for a session.
$150 USD p/h.
Reading the Heart of the Akashic Records
Your Akashic Record or soul book is like a living data base which contains not only current information about the life you are leading, details about the lives you have lived in the past, and what you intend for the future, but every alternative timeline, path not taken and every possible opportunity in between. Using your questions and biographical information I will sort through this to find the answers you seek.
Please allow 60 minutes for a session.
$200 USD p/h.

Why Do I Do This?
Realizing early in life that I am a highly sensitive person and an empath was not easy for me. In a strict household where rules were key, as a child growing up I found that my feelings were dismissed as 'not important.' This was something I found very hard to cope with, and I found a deep seated purpose in my life to be of service to all people through my work to help people understand themselves, trust in the wisdom of their body and allow themselves to truly feel and deal with the stormy sea of emotions that is life. By using energy work, healing modalities, and Breathwork to heal old wounds, pain, and fear, I continually enhance my understanding and empathy for humankind and the world that surrounds us and I receive so much joy from changing peoples lives for the better.
