About me...
I am a Wellness and Energy 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, and 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 also currently provide Reiki to patients Levine Children's Hospital Hematology, Oncology, and Bone Marrow Transplant 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

• Critical Care Orthopedic Trauma Patients.
• Chronic Pain
• Parkinson's, Lupus, MS

Describe a recent project you are fond of
I currently provide Reiki to children at Levine Children's Hospital for Oncology, Rare Blood Disease, and Bone Marrow Transplant patients as part of the 'Supportive Medicine' Program.
This program is 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 2017 I was part of a task force that used alternative therapies in the hospital setting to reduce the use of opioids and other pain medications in Orthopedic Trauma Patients at Atrium
Health. The pilot program was extremely rewarding and informative and is foreseen to open the doors here in Charlotte to make Reiki and other complementary and alternative therapies available to all patients in this particular hospital in Charlotte.
I have been a Reiki practitioner at Carolinas Healthcare System (Now Atrium Health) since 2016. I am also a Compassion Champions Participant, educating and demonstrating Reiki to teammates at various locations across the Atrium Healthcare 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 to 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 a technique that can help you, it's just a matter of being patient and opened minded to try new things.
