my cat mufasa introduced me to reiki. (laughter) he's a marvelous little furperson, and a great teacher. years ago, he accepted a life-threatening condition to teach me about self care. while exploring every healing modality I could find to help him, I discovered reiki, which helped return him to balance. for the first time, I witnessed the awesome power of healing energy. mufasa is alive and well today!

I met reiki again while studying cultural anthropology, this time in a case study with my beautiful master teacher, joann pun. we shared a reiki session together, which felt like coming home, and filled in many of the pieces I had been looking for. thank you joann, for the greatest gift in my life!

my journey as a healer began in january of 2004. since then, I have received twenty different levels of reiki attunements, including master levels in: western-style usui reiki (via the takata lineage), komyo or japanese reiki (via the yamaguchi lineage), lightarian reiki® and karuna reiki®. I am a member in good standing of the international association of reiki professionals.

I've shared reiki with young women in recovery as a clinical practitioner, as an on-site healer at bay area events, raising funds with the rainforest action network, with horses at miwok stables in marin, created the first bay area reiki retreat, and have held reiki space in 1,000+ sessions and hundreds of classes. every time I connect with reiki is magic - this healing practice is warm, loving and kind, and the most beautiful thing I know.

I discovered reiki and shamanism in the same month, five years ago, and have since pursued both paths. in 2008, I attended a month-long shamanic intensive at esalen, and completed the way of the shaman course through the foundation for shamanic studies. I'm moving into training more deeply on the shamanic path, and am a member in good standing of the society for shamanic practitioners.

I’m very open to trades with other healers, deeply enjoy supporting wellness through individual sessions, and am joyfully accepting reiki students and clients at this time in santa fe, new mexico and san francisco, california.

I am incredibly thankful to be on the reiki path, and look forward to supporting you. until then...
