I began my Reiki training in 1999, culminating in the Master/Teacher (Level 3) training in March 2000. I was introduced to Reiki healing by a good friend who came to me after a surgery left me drained and unsure of my healing. Through this introduction I realized that Reiki was a gentle, peaceful balancing that worked wonderfully to restore me physically, mentally and spiritually. I knew that there had to be "something out there" that could attend to us as a whole being ~ not as parts independent of each other! Reiki brings the body to a peaceful, balanced state so our natural healing abilities can do their job. Similarly, Hanna Somatics was found when I needed movement that could bring the ultimate body/mind connection as I learned to work with a neuromuscular disease that threatened to take my independence. After I found that I responded well to Hanna Somatic movement, I went back to school to learn why and how it worked so well. After almost 3 years of classes and hands-on practice I received my certification as a Hanna Somatic Educator.

I spent the better part of 30 years in the medical field. My experience led me to opening practices for relocating physicians, re-organizing existing practices for utmost efficiency and managing large practice medical billing departments.
