I am a certified traditional Reiki Master in New York City. Practicing since January 2020, Reiki gave me a way to explore my sensitivity.

Upon completing Reiki III, I received training in hand positions, breathing techniques, and meditations to enhance sessions. I learned nuanced applications of the practice, such as remote facilitation and energetic chelation. I have held space for a variety of clients’ concerns, including anxiety and physical challenges.

I split my life into two distinct periods: BR (Before Reiki) and AR (After Reiki). In BR, I was confused. I felt overwhelmed by people's energies. In AR, I have found confidence. I feel a three ton weight off my shoulders. Reiki streamlines my empathy. I embrace newness.

When not practicing Reiki, I create 2D mixed-media art, intuitively reaching for diverse materials. Most of my inspiration comes from nature, music, and play.

Reiki is color. I see pulsing vibrations. Electricity swarms the area around my hands. The heart becomes an explosion.
