“I consider myself to be a life-long learner; learning and teaching are two of my favorite things! My commitment to yoga and its life-changing philosophy is somewhat new to me! I remember that intimidating feeling of walking into a yoga class not knowing if I belonged there. I love to teach people in a safe, non judgemental environment. I will give you the knowledge, physical breakdown of postures and confidence you need to be the yogi you want to be on and off the mat!”

Why Reiki?
Rei (higher power or Universal)
Ki (life force energy)
Reiki = Universal Life Force Energy
Our bodies are made up of seven main energy centers called CHAKRAS. These chakras span from the base of our spine, to the crown of our head. Within the body, each chakra corresponds to major nerve bundles, glands and organs, as well as physical, emotional and spiritual states of being. Simply stated, they are a powerhouse system where mind and body meet. Keeping them open, energized, balanced and healthy is an essential piece of one’s overall well being and happiness.
​
The body WANTS to heal itself. Channeling Universal Life Force Energy into the body and through your chakras can help facilitate relaxation, a reduction in stress, and lead you toward physical and emotional well being. If your vital life energy is low, or flow is blocked within your energetic body, several symptoms can arise. Carving out time for a Reiki treatment and giving attention to your energetic body will help you attain clarity, let go of tension, anxiety, fear and other negative feelings. Life is full of transition. Ups and downs can take a toll on the way in which you process life. Allow yourself the time to find joy, peace and healing with the gift of Reiki.
