What is Reiki ?!?
“Reiki is… all the beautiful love, light and healing energy of the universe. It is infinite. I have been attuned, dialed in, to receive it by a Reiki Master. It flows from the palms of my hands and I use it to help others relax, mediate, and improve the flow of energy in the body to aid physical and spiritual healing.” -Olivia
“Reiki is… a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by ‘laying on hands’ and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.” -Reiki.org

Reiki Master & Teacher
Mystic and healing practices have always intrigued me. In fact, I got my first tarot reading when I was in middle school!
However, it wasn’t until 2008 that I became focused on developing my own intuitive abilities and began by taking a class in mediumship. I was immediately surprised to find out how much I could pick up if I just relaxed, let go of judgment and listened to what the Universe and Spirit had to offer.
The validation of my intuition from the teacher and other students in the class was exciting and the thought of helping others with this insight was powerful. Since then, I have studied with multiple teachers in Southern California including Tracy Ibarreta, Kari Samuels and my Reiki Master, Janet Nicksic to strengthen my intuitive muscles.
My interest in Reiki and being attuned to receiving this loving energy came about after I began teaching playwriting at Juvenile Hall. Although it was an extremely rewarding experience, I found myself feeling cloudy headed and tired every time I left the facility. Thanks to my Reiki practitioner, I discovered that these symptoms stemmed from my openness to the spiritual realm without fully protecting myself from carrying energies that were not my own.
Reiki became the perfect way for me to gain back my clarity and navigate the energies in and around me. I am thrilled to be able to combine the beautiful practice of Reiki with my intuitive abilities so that I can help others in their own healing processes.
I am now a certified Reiki Master (Usui Method) & have been practicing since July 2014. In addition, I am a 200 hour Yoga Instructor specializing in Yin, and Hot Yoga.
Lastly, I would like to acknowledge and give thanks to Kasey Palmer (my first real spiritual teacher and mentor), my guides, guardian angels, and loved ones passed, for their unconditional love and guidance.
