I’m so happy to announce that I’m now Karuna Reiki® certified. I’ve been drawn to Karuna for a long time and was so blessed to learn with the perfect teacher and class last week. Karuna is an intense but peaceful energy that focuses on deep healing, breaking old negative patterns, and restoring balance. It is also well suited to work with anxiety, addiction, trauma, forgiveness, and shadow work. Schedule a session next Tuesday in Roswell to experience this beautiful energy in person, or schedule a distance session for more flexibility. I can personally attest that the Karuna distance sessions are powerful and bring peace and balance. Contact me with questions or to schedule. Peace and blessings to all of you. 🙏

✨Reiki is an energy healing technique that involves lightly laying hands on or near the body. It produces a sense of relaxation and prompts calmness, clarity, and feelings of wellbeing. Repeated sessions can lead to enhanced clarity, improved mood, and train the mind and body to quickly enter a relaxed and peaceful state.

✨Chakra balancing works in combination with reiki to target areas of particular concern or specific qualities you would like to balance, enhance, or minimize. Repeated sessions provide valuable insight into the way the body physically manifests emotional stress, and how to let go of blocks or patterns that are holding you back.

✨Meditation trains the mind to find a feeling of grounding in the moment, develop awareness of thought, and connect to a sense of inner peace. With practice, meditation can enable you to return to this sense of peace at any time.

✨I specialize in addressing energy blocks and residual energy left by addiction, trauma, compassion fatigue, or other chronic stressful conditions.

✨Services can be performed separately or combined. Please contact me for more information and to discuss what would be most beneficial to your situation. I’m booking on Tuesdays at Healing Zone in Roswell - schedule with me directly. Other private locations may be available upon request by contacting me directly.

✨Distance sessions are available with flexible scheduling using link in bio.

⭐️ Astrological New Year oracle card pull:

✨ Soul Whisper Card (what our soul wants us to know): Your Life is a Canvas - a calling to connect to our creativity and manifesting power. To take creative accountability and align our current thoughts, feelings, and actions with the type of life we want to create. What are you trying to create? Look at the canvas of your life and start creating it today.

✨ Grounded Action Card (action our soul is guiding us to take): Cracked Open - ouch guys, sounds painful. Sounds like it hurts like hell, actually. But this is how transformation occurs. It’s difficulty that helps us grow and be open to new possibilities and opportunities. When things are uncomfortable, pressured, tragic, that’s when we can be at our most vulnerable and open. When we feel empty we can create that space for light and faith and transformation. With practice, and sometimes guidance, we can actually embrace these times in the spirit of equanimity. Cultivate the practice that teaches to accept the lows as we do the highs.

⭐️Once again, these cards hit deep with me. Let me know if they did with you, or tag someone who would benefit from the message.

I know for me it’s sometimes hard to know where to focus my energy, what to manifest. I love this card that reminds me I’m the artist of my life. Reminds me that my current thoughts and actions determine my future, so I’d be smart to focus on the positive. How does that fit with cracking open? Gotta get into those dark corners and scrub around before the light can shine in, my friend. Trust me when I tell you I know that hurts, but that temporary pain is so preferable to months and years of trying not to look in those corners of your thoughts, avoiding those emotional spots.

✨Let’s surrender and crack open, look around and let that light in. Then we can manifest that positive and abundant future. ✨

If this message resonates with you but you’re not sure how to get there, I offer coaching and energy healing sessions and I specialize in resolving past trauma and painful emotional residue. DM or use the schedule link in the bio for more information.

💜What does it mean when we talk of letting go of the things that no longer serve us? I say it all the time in my Reiki sessions and meditations. And people sigh and breathe deeply, trying to let go.

💜Has anyone ever told you “you need to let that s* #* go!”? You are not alone. How do we do that? The first step step is recognition. Name it. What do I need to let go? What does it feel like? What does it do to me? Sit with it. Be intensely aware of it. This can take multiple sessions, specific guidance. Some wounds are old and deep, stored in our energy, instrumental in our patterns. The next step is showing compassion to the fear, the judgement, the belief we’ve developed as a result of these wounds. Let them be with compassion.

💜Guided meditation is a fantastic way to address long held beliefs that are holding us back. Reiki healing can target the energy that is stored in the body as a result of these experiences and beliefs. I specialize in Reiki sessions addressing the energetic residue of addiction, trauma, mental or physical illness, and other struggles. DM to discuss how I can assist in your journey to let go, or book a session using the link in the bio. Blessings to you all.

🌑 New Moon oracle card pull:

✨ Soul Whisper Card (what our soul wants us to know): Whale and Orca Elders - a calling to surrender to our deepest truth and share it. To bow to who we truly are. To leave our fears, doubts, and hesitation behind. Dive deep, peel back our pain and suffering - tell our story, be real.

✨ Grounded Action Card (action our soul is guiding us to take): Weight of the World - whew, sounds heavy. Feels heavy too, doesn’t it? We don’t need to carry it all, we’re no good to anyone if we’re on empty. Self care has been stuck on my mind lately, a lot of us must need to hear it. And here’s the self care card. This card thanks us for carrying so much, thanks us for our efforts to help others and improve the world. But reminds us to set those clear boundaries and give ourselves space and time to practice self care like it’s our job. Breathe, meditate, get out in nature, cleanse our energy.

🌑 Both these cards hit deep with me. Let me know if they did with you, or tag someone who would benefit from the message.

I know for me it’s taken a lot of work to embrace my true self, and I still get that hesitation to speak the truth and put everything out there. I love this card that reminds me to share my song like the whale. You don’t see a whale worried about how their voice sounds and what the other whales will think.

🎶 Let’s picture ourselves floating in this beautiful sea, not carrying the weight of the world, taking care of ourselves and singing our song. 🎶

If this message resonates with you but you’re not sure how to get there, I offer coaching and energy healing sessions and I specialize in embracing our true selves, burnout, and boundaries. DM or use the schedule link in the bio for more information.

⛰Meditation in nature activates our senses. While it is undeniably awesome to meditate on a mountain top, we can get the same benefits from meditating on our porch or the patch of grass down the street. Sit quietly, close your eyes, feel the wind on your skin, breathe the fresh air. Picture and feel the wind blowing through you, the sun and air sharing energy with you, giving you strength and peace. Sit and breathe and feel the connectedness.

✨Did you know that Reiki means universal life energy? The same energy that is in the sun, the trees, and the wind runs through all of us. Reiki sessions open our energy pathways and facilitate this universal energy flow. I love giving Reiki in nature, whether in person or distance, because it amplifies this energy and connectedness. DM to schedule a local session, or use the link in the bio to schedule a distance session. Blessings to you all. ✨

Many of us are on journeys to better ourselves, help others, or improve the world. Taking that few minutes to pay attention to your needs and show yourself a little kindness is crucial. Take that moment of deep breathing or have that cup of tea. You’ll recharge and be more ready to take on the next challenge. It’ll still be there, trust me.

Some people have reached out with questions about energy work and why they would get it.

Why did I start doing energy work? What has Reiki done for me?

I started receiving Reiki a few years ago. I was feeling pretty good. I had several years of recovery from my struggles with addiction, that feeling that I “don’t fit in” had eased up, I was working through my social anxiety, my confidence was pretty high. There was just an underlying tension, discomfort, weariness. We don’t talk enough about how the solutions to our problems, the hard and necessary steps we take and the daily strides we make, can also grind us down. In a different way. Keeping it together can be emotionally heavy.

So, I went to Sedona. I went to a shop with the intention of getting some tea and got a whole lot more. This lovely woman really SAW me. She told me I should try energy work sometime. A few weeks later, I did.

Reiki calms me down and helps me get to a meditative state where I find clarity and calm. It draws from the energy and ability I already have within myself. If I’m feeling brave, it enhances and expands that courage. If I’m excited, it focuses that energy. If I’m exhausted, sometimes it helps me take a nap. 😂 It doesn’t conflict with any religion or belief. In fact, my Reiki classes have increased my faith and spirituality more than I can even describe.

So you don’t have to be “sick” to benefit from Reiki. I have had experiences where it helped others with pain, but you don’t have to be in pain to benefit. You can just use it like I do - to feel lighter, smoother, more connected.

Contact me if you have questions or want to schedule an in person or distance session.

Can virtual or distance Reiki be helpful? Check out this article for a description of a session.

Spoiler alert: distance Reiki can be very powerful. It has the added bonus of being in the comfort of your own home with your own blankets, pillows, and favorite essential oils or incense. Message me to schedule your distance session.

It's not that far off as it sounds.
