About Me

As a Reiki Master, an intuitive guide for those on the path of seeking, and a communication medium for spirits in or out of their human body, I feel beyond privileged to be able to share this work with those ready to receive it.

I like to think of as a "Re-alignment Coach," because I might as well have a PhD in re-alignment.

 

As a child, I was fascinated with space and our place in the stars and this planet we're on, and was usually found either looking up at the sky or gravitating toward trees and animals.  As the youngest in a big family, I was usually surrounded by my siblings or wandering around the house trying to find the right one to bother.  Although part of a big family, I often felt lonely and displaced.  For some reason, I felt the pain of "separateness" ever since I can remember; like being in this human form was too dense and detached to make sense when all I wanted inside was unity and love.  I found this sense of unity in the stars and in the love I felt when connecting to the earth's wonder. 

Pretty early on, I began experiencing sensitivity to others' emotions, intuitive impressions, and deep emotional waves that were confusing to me and dismissed by my siblings and peers (naturally).  My mother, also an intuitive projector, validated my connection with something greater but was herself without the healing or energetic knowledge to guide me.

​

My teenage years were turbulent and painful, as is often the case with the initiation of healers.  Through a path of self-destructive behaviors in an effort to escape pain and emotional overwhelm, I became lost and detached.  I felt a void inside of me that could never be filled or stitched up.  I wanted so badly to feel "a part of" or some sense of loving belonging, but constantly felt alone, "too much", and "other than".  I began trying to escape the density of this life, believing there was no higher power and constantly seeking a semblance of deep connection and wholeness, even if it was fleeting and left me even more drained afterward.  I lived out of alignment and constantly in distress until life took matters into its own hands.

​

After multiple gorgeously serendipitous, divinely orchestrated U-turns, I was pushed toward meditation and self-seeking.  Through the practice of connecting inward, I found a sense of peace and fullness I never thought attainable.  I started studying psychology, sociology, early childhood development.  I went deep into the teachings of Tony Robbins, remembering that my parents and siblings mentioned several time over the years how life changing he apparently was.  I learned to be more than my fears or my pain.  I began studying astrology and noticing the way moon phases and placements in the sky somehow made sense of the energies I felt myself and others around me moving through at any given time.  

Fascinated by the human brain and puzzled by the astounding connection human beings have with the motions of local planetary bodies, I questioned my concept of reality and started to completely shift my attention and awareness.  My desire to understand human consciousness evolved and I was introduced to Ram Dass, Rumi, Alan Watts, and other spiritual seekers who seemed to have unlocked some kind of secret code to existing. 

​

 As my gifts began to return and grow, I started to repeatedly attract people who needed healing.  I found myself working as a personal assistant and seeing that my value in that job was not in my ability to keep them organized or structured - actually I found that part quite difficult - but rather in my ability to mindfully guide them through their inner challenges and see the root of the overwhelm.  When helping a client find pain release, I stumbled upon a shamanic healer who absolutely shifted my paradigm into a new undeniable truth: beyond the physical body and emotional/mental body, we all have an active energetic body that is just as full of our history as our mind and completely intertwined with both it and our physical body. Between this new wisdom coupled with deep shadow work, and the soon-after, reluctant realization that tarot can reveal true divine insight, I knew I had to let go of what I previously knew to be true of reality and allow space for that which cannot be explained.

​

Knowing deeply that healing was my path, I found a local Reiki Master to learn under and was attuned to level 1 Holy Fire III Reiki.  Immediately, I was drawn to what I was experiencing through Reiki; feeling energy fields, witnessing deep-rooted emotions and childhood memories, and providing family and friends with intense emotional releases.  As I continued to practice, my gifts began to develop rapidly. 

After about 6 months, during sessions, emotions that were not mine would fill my body and completely overcome me.  I would begin to cry tears of pride, extreme endearment, or regret, although I didn't personally have that kind of relationship with this person in front of me.  With the tears would come an impression of *knowing* that these feelings were coming from a grandmother, an ancestor who took great pride in their homestead, or whichever loved one was connecting with my client through me.  I wondered, "Could I really be a medium?  How can this be real?"

I found a psychic medium who taught me that not only is mediumship real and absolutely beautiful, but also that I have had that ability my whole life.  I quickly learned how to identify incoming messages and how to interpret them, and another massive re-alignment happened.  

​​

Combining my more scientific view of Reiki energy healing with this new awareness of the universe's expansive embrace in our everyday lives, I knew I had to become a Reiki Master - or as my beautiful taught me while holding space for me in Paraguay, to let "Reiki master you".

​

As a Reiki Master, the alignment I feel with the energy that surrounds us and connects us all is beyond what I thought capable in this life.  Suffering has been my reappearing teacher, and underneath it all is just unconditional love.  The compassion and endearment I feel towards even those who I would have felt bitterness toward in my former alignments has truly changed the person I am from my inner thoughts to my parenting and how I show up in my community.  

 

I am a Holy Fire III World Peace Reiki Master and Teacher, and teach Holy Fire III Reiki in-person in Tysons Corner, Virginia and online via Zoom.  

I absolutely love what I do, and find so much wonder in each of our stories.  Every session, whether it's Reiki, Tarot, mediumship, or guidance, is a unique and incredible experience for me and I sometimes still pinch myself that this is really what I get to do in this life.
