My path as a healer began with a double Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Art Therapy and a certification as an Expressive Arts Therapist in the hospital setting. After graduating from the Masters program, I focused on raising my three daughters, exhibiting my art in galleries across the US, consulting for businesses, and writing for myself and other outlets ranging from MOMeo magazine to the Huffington Post.

When my sister was diagnosed with advanced stage metastatic cancer, I felt called to learn a new type of healing that was complimentary to her traditional medical treatments. Reiki, also known as universal life energy, opened my eyes to the power of intuition and intention. Originally, I thought this would be something I’d do for my sister, family and friends… but, then the pandemic hit and I realized it was time to be of service.

While studying to become a reiki master, I was fortunate to have an incredible teacher and mentor who encouraged me to be open to where the reiki path lead. So, here we are, living in a time when the entire world could use a good energy healing and believe me, I’m sending it on a daily basis! Interestingly, I have also discovered that I can not only use reiki in energy healing sessions, but also in my art.

I’m currently working on a collection that incorporates elements of the many stresses we face in this turbulent time, while sending healing energy to the world through the imagery and words in each piece. The collection is called “Peace From Within” as each piece will remind viewers that amidst the chaos, we can tap into peace.
