Welcome

There comes a time when we all start to ask ourselves questions about why we are here, in this life, living in this moment. These types of questions came around my early teenage years and the answers for myself began to flourish within my 20's as they continue to do now. Reiki was the answer to one of life's many questions for me. Growing up I had a less than perfect childhood which resulted in having some trauma that I was looking to ultimately heal. I had studied different forms of meditation for years but I wanted something more. I had heard of Reiki for a couple years but never sought it out. In the end of 2004 I decided to go for a Reiki session with a local Reiki Master. 

The day of the session I arrived excited and ready to experience Reiki. I remember meeting the Reiki Master and immediately feeling at peace, she radiated a sense of compassion that I have always remembered. I remember laying down on the massage table, as the session began I still had no idea if I even believed that Reiki was real. Shortly after those thoughts she placed her hands just above my face and I felt like I was sitting in the sun. A sense of warmth and heat was pour through her hands and it made me begin to smile. I felt it move down and into my chest and heart, a feeling of deep love filled me in a way I hadn't felt in so long. She then placed her hands over my heart, I began to feel my chest expand as Reiki energy swirled in my chest. I then felt a huge weight lifted from my chest and I felt shining and stunned. I couldn't believe what I just experienced and wanted nothing more than to sit straight up and just start asking questions. I patiently waited for the session to conclude and then sat up. I asked her a few questions and I was blown away by my experience and the visceral experience I had. She comforted me and told me she was teaching a Reiki I class in January (2005). 

My journey into Reiki training began in January of 2005 and I was made a Reiki Master-Teacher of the Usui Tibetan tradition in 2008. During that time my life was deeply transformed and I had released and healed so many things that held me back for years. I also forged a deep relationship with the Kwan Yin who is known as Bodhisattva of Great Compassion. She began appearing to me when I would do Reiki and started to guide me during sessions with clients and students. I had found myself self again but now empowered and on a new mission to share the art of Reiki with as many people as I could. I started to teach Reiki and found it deeply impacted and transformed my students as well. I had much gratitude for be able to share this energy with them and watch as they became better people and truly happy in their lives. In 2013 I was initiated into Karuna Reiki as a Master-Teacher, a style of Reiki taught after Reiki Mastership to deepen one's connection to the energy of Compassion. Karuna is the Sanskrit work for Compassion. Karuna offered me a deeper connection to Reiki and some more symbols to work deeper on myself and with clients. 

In 2014 I had the opportunity to create The Lotus Temple, a temple space dedicated to Kwan Yin and the Reiki energy. It was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. Soon after the space was created visitors and clients started to also fall in love with the space and started to experience the peace and Kwan Yin's presence during Reiki sessions in the temple. The photo below was taken in the temple by a visitor after feeling moved to do so once they had meditated for a while in the space. It was during this time that my relationship with Kwan Yin deepened even more and as I began to share more about her with others. 

Reiki has been on the most rewarding, transforming, healing things I have ever experienced in my life. It is for this reason that I share my passion for it with all that I can. I love facilitating sessions for people but nothing brings more joy than teaching Reiki to students. I have been able to watch people grow and become inspired about their own lives again from a place of wholeness. I highly recommend it for everyone of all ages and spiritual paths. May the light of Reiki rejuvenate your being as it has mine.
