My path took an unexpected turn when I was 14 years old, facing the diagnosis of Lupus. It was a wake-up call to the interconnectedness of mind, soul, and body. My mother took me on a quest to explore every avenue of healing, from conventional medicine to holistic practices. Slowly but surely, I began to recover, and it became crystal clear that holistic healing held immense potential to heal the soul. 

 

Fast forward to three years ago, when I found myself in a place where I was experiencing multiple forms of trauma, feeling psychologically unsafe, and witnessing my body's decline. My thyroid had stopped functioning, my hair was falling out, and the radiant happiness I once knew seemed to be slipping through my fingers. In the midst of therapy to help me process the pain and hurt, I had a pivotal moment at 4 AM when I felt an urgent need to release the energy that had taken hold of me. Desperate for a solution, I turned to the ever-helpful internet and stumbled upon Reiki. It was the beginning of a beautiful journey toward healing.

 

I sought out an incredible Reiki practitioner who became my guide on this transformative path. The peace and healing I experienced were nothing short of miraculous. This profound transformation stirred a deep desire within me to share this incredible gift with others.

 

Reiking Sunshine was born from this passion for healing and a belief in the boundless potential within each of us. My mission is to increase accessibility to healing for all because I know that as we heal individually, the world heals collectively. 

 

Imagine a Reiki session as your personal sunshine-infused magic spell, a delightful journey that unlocks your inner radiance, dissolves stress, and rekindles your zest for life. Together, as we harness the radiant power of Reiki, we can create a ripple effect of healing that extends far beyond ourselves, bringing light and positivity to all.​​

Training & Experience: 

I am a Reiki Master with a background rooted in both lived experience and years of professional support work. My training in social work, education, counseling, and career coaching profoundly shapes how I hold Reiki sessions, with care, presence, and an understanding of how stress, trauma, and life transitions live in the body. I’ve spent my career listening closely to people’s stories and helping them navigate overwhelm, burnout, and change. Reiki became a natural extension of that work, offering a gentle, body-centered way to rest, regulate, and reconnect.
