ABOUT ME

I’ve always been spiritual. In fact, I’m the third generation of women intuitives in my family. Some years ago, I came to realize the glow I see in certain people is actually an aura. My interest in healing began when a drum circle that I had registered for was canceled, and the instructor invited me to her reiki class instead. How serendipitous!

A lifelong learner and educator, I taught music in the United States and English as a second language in Japan. While hiking to the summit of Japan’s Mount Tsukuba, I found myself amid a flight of giant dragonflies—an awe-inspiring experience. This led to my choice of the dragonfly—tombo in Japanese— as the symbol for my reiki practice.

As a teacher, volunteer, and friend, I have a place in my heart for each individual’s special / unique needs. My reiki practice is part and parcel of my desire to be helpful to all.
