About Me

I began my Reiki journey in 2014 when I received my First Degree, initially seeking a way to find greater peace and healing within myself. At the time, I was navigating the grief of losing my father when I was 13—a loss that stayed with me for many years. When I first experienced Reiki, I noticed a distinct feeling that I couldn't quite explain. It made me curious—not only about what I was experiencing, but about Reiki itself and what I might discover through practicing it.

After high school, I found a meditation center and a supportive community that welcomed me. That became the foundation of my inner healing journey—learning to slow down, reflect, and begin the work of moving forward.

Not long after, I connected with a classmate who practiced Reiki. Curious, I scheduled a session with her. That experience was deeply impactful—calming, clarifying, and grounding in a way I had never felt before. I couldn’t fully explain it at the time, but I knew it was real, and I felt called to explore it further.

My Path With Reiki

That path eventually led me to my Reiki Master, Amy Erez, through whom I trained in First and Second Degree Reiki in the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition.

I continue to practice within the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition because I value its simplicity, depth, and the continuity of the teachings passed down through generations of practitioners.

Over the years, Reiki has become more than just a personal healing practice—it has connected me to a wider, heart-centered community and supported me through continued growth and inner work.

Now, after years of practice—both personally and with others—I feel ready to offer this work professionally and be of service.

I’m honored to share Reiki with you. Whether you’re seeking peace, clarity, emotional healing, or simply a moment of stillness, I invite you to experience Reiki for yourself and discover what the practice may offer you.

Reiki sessions are available in Sacramento, CA and online.
