About me...
I am a Wellness and Frequency Medicine practitioner located in Matthews, North Carolina just SouthEast of Charlotte. I hold Certifications in the following:
- Biofield Tuning Advanced Level 4
- Holy Fire® III Karuna® Reiki Master
- Medical Reiki Master
- Quantum Biofeedback
Through my private practice, I provide one on one support for clients who want to add relaxation and self-healing to their wellness routine. I intuitively combine Biofield Tuning, Reiki, Quantum BioFeedback and Flower Essences to assist clients in reclaiming the power of their bodies' own ability to heal itself by releasing and reducing stress and blockages that are keeping them from moving forward in life.
I also specialize in providing Medical Reiki as a holistic, patient-focused, complementary therapy in the healthcare setting for clients of any age who have been diagnosed with a life-altering disease or chronic illness.
I currently provide Reiki to patients at Levine Children's Hospital Hematology, Oncology, and Rare Blood Disease Center as part of the Wellness Center's Comprehensive Supportive Medicine Program.

How did you get started doing this type of work?
When my children were younger, one of them was dealing with panic and anxiety attacks. After I saw the incredible transformation after a Reiki treatment I knew that I had to learn Reiki to be able to assist him. Little did I know how life-changing learning Reiki would be for me personally. I practiced on family and friends and eventually realized that it quickly became so much a part of my life that I needed to use it to help others.
What types of clients have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of clients:
• Children and adults with Anxiety and depression

• Chronic Pain

Describe any recent projects you are proud of
- For 2 1/2 years, from April 2018 to November 2021 I offered Reiki to patients, parents, and staff as an integral part of the Supportive Medicine Team at Levine Children's Hospital and the Levine Pediatric Cancer, Blood Disorders and Bone Marrow Transplant program. My teammate and I documented well over 5,000 reiki treatments to inpatient, infusion, and critical care patients during our tenure.
This program was the first of its kind in the Charlotte area and it has been a true honor to be a part of the evolution that is taking place in healthcare systems across the world where Energy Medicine and Reiki practitioners are valued as an integral part of the medical team in acute and critical care.
- · In 2018 I spent one year working in direct care with Inpatient Pediatric Rehabilitation patients, most of whom were recovering from Traumatic and Non Traumatic Brain and spinal cord injuries.
- In 2017, I offered Reiki at Atrium Health in Charlotte, NC, where I was one of two Reiki practitioners offering Reiki for a Study to Find Alternatives to Opiates for Pain Management for Orthopedic Trauma patients under the direction of one of the leading Orthopedic Trauma surgeons in the country.
- · Additionally, since 2016 I have worked closely with a team at Atrium Health providing Reiki For Wellness Education and Reiki sessions to staff at Atrium-Main, Atrium-Mercy Hospital and other facilities across the system.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Don't hesitate to ask questions about anything that you do not understand. A connection to your Energy practitioner is imperative. You want to feel safe and supported.
Most clients looking for complementary therapies have tried many other things and are frustrated. Sometimes it takes a while to find what works for you. Energy Medicine is not a one size fits all. Certain clients will be drawn to different modalities. Don't lose hope there is help you are not broken, most people did not get into their declining health situation overnight, it takes time to re-center and re-balance the body. It's just a matter of being patient and opened minded to try new things.
