How did you come across Reiki, and what sparked your interest in the field?
Reiki has a way of finding you when you are ready, and then a teacher appears. This is true. Several years ago, I saw a documentary about nurses using Reiki in the hospital. I was intrigued – that would be amazing if it worked. This modality is noninvasive and greatly impacts the quality of patients’ health. The healthcare system saw the value of Reiki and was using it to improve the quality of care. It was making a huge difference in people’s lives. I wanted to see how Reiki could enhance my life.
Anyone can learn Reiki. They claimed it wasn’t a special skill you had to be born with. I wanted to see if the claims were true. I was curious and excited to learn how to do Reiki. I found a place where I could study and start. The more I learned, the more I wanted to know. So I continued my studies through each level. It took one year to become a Reiki Master. That means I did Reiki on myself and others daily for a year. During this process, I began to see changes in myself. I began to sleep better and longer. The fact that my sleeping improved was huge because I was a 20+ year insomniac. My circulation improved. My hands were no longer frigid. I didn’t get angry as quickly, if at all, and had more patience when dealing with daily challenges. I knew this was something I wanted to share with others.
To gain more Reiki experience, I volunteered for two years. During this time, I offered my services to various places, including abused and neglected animal shelters, horse shows, psychic fairs, hospice, and Reiki Outreaches. Through these experiences, I was able to hone my skills and become more confident in my abilities.
As word of my work spread, people began asking where they could find me for a Reiki session. I didn’t have a designated space to offer my services then. However, I believed that if this was my calling, the universe would provide me with a location for my practice. To my amazement, I was blessed with a site and clients within two weeks. The universe responded, and I could continue my work even more. I am forever grateful for this experience and the opportunity to share my gift with those in need.
What types or modalities of Reiki do you use?
I continue studying several Reiki traditions: Usui, Shamanic, Karuna, Holy Fire III, and Holy Fire III Karuna. Each tradition of Reiki shares many of the same qualities but is also unique in other ways. When working with clients, I blend these modalities to individualize each session to help the needs of each of my clients.
How does ThetaHealing work?
ThetaHealing® is a meditation technique and spiritual philosophy that uses focused thought and prayer. Our training method offers physical, emotional, and spiritual healing by tapping into the Theta brain wave and connecting with the Creator Of All That Is. When we experience this connection, we can reprogram our minds to clear limiting beliefs and think positively. This technique brings out the best in ourselves and allows us to live our most enlightened, successful lives. ThetaHealing is always taught to be used in conjunction with conventional medicine. ThetaHealing teaches you to use your natural intuition and rely on the unconditional love of the Creator Of All That Is to do the actual healing “work.”
What can people expect from your classes?
My classes are designed to offer a comprehensive and enriching learning experience. The sessions consist of informative lectures, thought-provoking discussions, practical demonstrations, and dedicated practice time to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills required to excel in the subject matter. In case of any doubts or apprehensions, I ensure that they are promptly addressed and resolved to ensure that every student comprehends the material thoroughly. Moreover, I am always available to assist students outside the class if they have questions.
What’s your favorite part about your profession?
I take great enjoyment in witnessing firsthand the incredible transformation my clients undergo, from their initial state of anxiety and depression to serenity and balance. The most rewarding part of my job is when clients schedule their next appointment before they even leave, knowing they have found something valuable and worthwhile in our sessions together.
I also thoroughly enjoy teaching both these techniques to others. Witnessing their excitement upon achieving success never ceases to amaze me. With each new skill they acquire, their enthusiasm only intensifies, and they become more self-assured in imparting their newfound abilities to others.
Is there anything else about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?
Having spent 34 years as a classroom teacher, I have embarked upon a new career path. While teaching, I also dedicated my evenings to seeing clients, but now that I have retired from the classroom, I can focus solely on helping my clients. This second career is an exciting opportunity for me to continue making a positive impact on the lives of others. I am fortunate to be able to contribute to society in this way, and I am grateful for the chance to continue serving those in need. I am truly thankful for the opportunity to keep contributing to society and helping those in need.
