I've spent the majority of my life immersed in the beauty of the Okanagan, cherishing every opportunity to explore its wonders. My deep love for nature extends from the solid rocks beneath my feet to the birds soaring in the sky. Driven by a thirst for knowledge, I continually seek new ways to enrich my practice and positively impact those around me.

​

Several years ago, a diagnosis of PTSD forced a reset in my life, creating an unsettling new normal. Despite years of striving to recover my former self, I came to the realization that I would never be the same. Having grown up surrounded by the healing energy of Reiki, I turned to it, hoping to address the blocks affecting my daily life. The transformation I witnessed after my initial Reiki session was not only evident in my mental well-being but also in my physical health – a change noticed by both myself and those close to me. This experience became a trail of breadcrumbs, leading me to where I am today. Over the past few years, I've delved into a profound self-discovery journey, continually learning and evolving. It's a beautiful path that has brought me immense joy, allowing me to extend that healing to others and guide them towards the happiness they deserve.

My three dogs have been steadfast companions, helping me navigate through challenging times. Witnessing the impact of my pain on them inspired me to express my gratitude by not only helping them but also extending that care to all the voiceless animals in our lives. Through learning Animal Reiki, I've found a way to help heal our beloved family members who often go unheard.

​

My current focus is on embracing the present moment and finding joy in life's small wonders. As I look ahead, I eagerly anticipate what the future holds and the exciting paths it may unveil.

 

While my past has shaped who I am today, it does not define me; I am a product of continual growth and transformation."
