How My Journey Began
My earliest, fondest memories as a child revolved around the things that made life appear magical. I would sit on the front steps of my house in March (when the wind was wildest) and try calming the breeze using my thoughts. My mother had, at one point, decided to buy a deck of oracle cards. She would spend nights in with girlfriends, exchanging readings at the kitchen table. I was fascinated. I remember making “pies” and “potions” with the neighborhood kids using mud, sticks, and stones. I remember bathing leaves in water and eating them because I believed they were charged with healing powers. (As an adult, I don’t recommend this).
As I grew older, I began to experience adults telling me their most personal thoughts and feelings. They seemed to find comfort in what little “advice” and empathy I could offer. While living on the coast in my early teens, I would perform healing ceremonies on the beach and offer personality readings to strangers. They, as well as myself, were shocked at how much I knew about them.
School never really interested me. I looked forward to time alone when I could study metaphysics and journal my dreams, desires, and experiences. (If only my science teachers taught quantum theory, and my math teachers explained to me that math is the language of the universe). When I thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up, I wasn’t sure. I refused to live a lackluster life, so I waited.
I later learned about the practice of massage therapy, while working in a salon as a Front Desk Coordinator after graduating high school. (I could be a healer while experiencing lower levels of emotion associated with my heightened sensitivity.) I thought, “many MTs are also energy workers. Maybe someday, somehow I could do both”.
I then completed a massage therapy program. I worked in the luxury spa and wellness industry for years before deciding I couldn’t work for someone else anymore. My managers didn’t share my level of passion; they didn’t sincerely care about me or my purpose, and I didn’t like being told what to do. I quit. By the time I chose to open my own practice, I had already been certified in Reiki and could finally incorporate this dimension of healing into my work. It was the moment I embraced my own path, blending all that I had learned into a practice that truly felt like mine.
In the earliest chapters of my life, I was drawn to mystery, to energy, and to the language of the soul. Each encounter shaped not only my perspective but also the way I moved through the world, with depth, a thirst for wisdom, and an enduring trust in the infinite.
