Healing Touch Practitioner-Apprentice

After more than 20 years as a first responder, I felt a deep pull to support others in a more heart-centered, holistic way. I’ve always been drawn to complementary therapies and the connection between allopathic and naturopathic approaches. That curiosity led me to energy wellness and the path I walk today.

I began my formal training in Reiki in 2019, earning my Master-level Reiki certification at Mount Royal University under the guidance of Reiki Master-Teacher Diana Lynn Mayorga. In 2021, I completed my Medical Reiki certification with Raven Keyes, followed by Animal Reiki Practitioner training in 2022 — and most recently, Teacher certification (2024) — in the Let Animals Lead® method by Kathleen Prasad. I also hold a 300-hour Meditation Teacher certificate from YogaMCC, and I’m currently working toward full certification in Healing Touch Therapy.

My own experience with an occupational stress injury shapes everything I do in this work. I know firsthand how important it is to feel safe, seen, and supported. The heart of this practice is about offering gentle, compassionate care to help others find rest, relief, and reconnection — whether you're navigating anxiety, PTSD, depression, or going through cancer treatment.

I also work with animals, and I’ve been honored to witness beautiful transformations while supporting horses, dogs, and cats through energy work.

When I’m not with clients, I stay busy facilitating Equine Assisted Learning workshops, designing Reiki-infused bracelets, exploring photography, diving into continued learning, and spending time with my husband and our animals — who bring so much joy and grounding to my life.
