Throughout my life, I have always been interested in healing arts and the metaphysical. Being sensitive to the energies around me, I was often teased for my self-protective hermit-like behavior. Over time I began to tap into my own abilities to sense energy with my hands, and primarily used this ability for choice-making, such as choosing the Tarot cards for a reading, or choosing between objects. In the last year, it occurred to me to look into more formal training for healing modalities, and most recently I chose to study Reiki.
Reiki, 1st and 2nd Degree:
I received my 1st and 2nd degree Reiki training in May 2006 from Jessica Miller, a Licenced Teacher through The International Center for Reiki Training.
College Education:
With two bachelors degrees, Women's Studies and Comparative American Cultures, from
Washington State University, I have gained a thorough and complex understanding of issues and experiences surrounding race, class, gender, sexual orientation, multiculturalism and diversity.
During college I was also incredibly active in the campus community holding various positions with the ASWSU GLBTA, forming alliances with other maginalized campus groups, such as the Asian Pacific American Student Coalition, the African American Association, the Chicano/Latino Student Center and the Veterans Association.
Part of my journey also led me to attend the Simmons College Masters in Teaching program before discovering my calling as a life coach and healer.
Work Experience:
I've worked in various helping professions over the last ten years, often simultaneously, including public speaking, social work, technology, and human resources.
My work experience has not only provided me with a variety of skills and knowledge useful in different industries, but also has provided valuable personal experience with seeking fulfillment outside of myself and in other people's definitions of what is valuable and worthy. Wanting more from life and knowing I was not on my true path led me to discover life coaching.
A Little More:
Currently, along with Reiki, I am living my dream of being a life coach, and artist. As an artist I create beautiful and vibrant abstract paintings and functional ceramic pieces.
In my free time, I enjoy sipping tea, reading historical fiction, taking walks in nature, writing, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
