Tales from the Journey:

This weekend, I had the honor and privilege to be initiated as a Master Teacher in Karuna Ki Reiki - The Way of Compassion - by my friend and colleague Paige Haviland.

Paige is not only an incredible and gifted practitioner in her own right but also is one of the most passionate advocates for her community and clients. Her immense dedication to this invaluable healing modality made her the perfect teacher and guide for me as I continue on my one journey and evolution.

Being initiated as a Master Teacher carries immense responsibility as we take on the responsibilities of not only guiding our own clients but also students entering the path of helping themselves and others on their healing journey.

It is with the utmost gratitude that Paige felt I was ready to take this step and I truly treasure our deep conversations on this topic and so many more. Thank you for being my guide 🙏♥️

News from the Lion’s Den:

Apollo here. Mom has been reviewing things all day to be ready for her weekend Master Teacher certification. So I had to remind her that taking breaks is HEALTHY! Especially when they include cute pics of me.

What would I do without my boys!

Tales from the Journey:

We kicked off our first Master Prep class yesterday and I could not be happier on how it is turning out.

For a long time I knew that the transition from Reiki 2 to Master is one of immense transformation. And it requires careful guidance and diligent application of the teachings Dr Usui put into place.

But as we have evolved as human beings, so must our practices. We are now living in the world of energy and ever increasing demands on our own energy systems.

I therefore created this series of classes to help all of my students to integrate the lessons from Reiki 1&2 as well as ensure they are ready for the teachings and principles before diving into Reiki Master.

Not everyone will feel called to walk this path. For those who choose to do so, having a solid understanding of energy and power is a must.

Our world is changing. And we must change with it. May you all find peace walking the path of your choosing.

News from the Lion’s Den.

The first time I met Merlin.

Bentley was still in our lives and I remember saying we could not bring another being into our home because Bentley was too fragile. He passed not too long after.

There is no doubt Bentley chose to depart to give Merlin space to come into our lives. And he also passes the torch of responsibility to Apollo.

Anyone who has spent sufficient time with animals knows they are far more dialed in than we are.

I am so blessed they chose me as their guardian.

Tales from the Journey

I had a rare day without clients and my original plan was to get some seeds started in the greenhouse. But I had a strong calling to work on my teaching curriculum instead so that’s what ended up happening.

The boys were extremely happy and I even wore Merlin out. Nothing like a 5month old kitten fast asleep!

Spring is a great time to harness the rising energies of creation and actualization. To put action to our words, plans and dreams.

Nature shows us clearly that when we want something, we can’t just sit there and talk about it. Or journal about. Or dream about it. We have to actually DO something. Even if it turns out imperfect or not quite right. No seed can germinate if the seed packet sits in your online “shopping cart”.

I am working on the material for my first “Reiki for Horses” class which I will teach later this June. It’s a very exciting project and I cannot wait. So many people have asked for it and it’s been in the making for some time.

What are you inspired to create this season?

Tales from the Journey:

Another day on the books regarding our big dream of putting together a teaching program for lay people and professionals. Building a solid curriculum from the ground up is not for the faint of heart. It truly takes passion and commitment to excellence, great, determination and a willingness to learn an awful lot of things IT!

But one of our mantras is “we can do hard things!”

We even wore out Merlin with our brain power 😎🐈‍⬛

Tomorrow I am hosting another Reiki Share for my students where we deepen our skills, learn about the Spring Equinox and celebrate community.

No matter the ugliness of the world right now, notice the beautiful moments, your successes, the meaningful and authentic relationships in your life.

What are you up to this weekend?

Tales from the Journey:

One of the most amazing parts of my work is how other animals respond and tune into the energy of the session.

This morning, we had another mare, donkeys, cats and chickens join the fun as I worked on an older mare who had been adopted from a rescue last year.

Animals always know when your work is heart-centered. When your goal is to help and you are willing to listen to their feedback.

It’s one of the key components in being an effective practitioner no matter the modality. And also very humbling. Which all of us humans can use on a regular basis!

Tales from the Journey.

Another Reiki 2 class in the bag and three more lovely and capable practitioners are joining the ranks of our healing community.

I am so incredibly impressed by each and every one of my students. All of them showed up every day with commitment and a deep desire to learn and grow. And most importantly, to help make this world a kinder and more compassionate place for all.

One of today’s topic was that separation is an illusion. The key to healing is to recognize that we are all one. That division helps nobody and only causes more pain. To see one another as expressions of something bigger and sacred brings awareness of our responsibilities to one another

My wish for you, as my students, is to develop your own brilliance and let your light shine. You are needed, now more than ever

Merlin: it was another LONG DAY! But they all adored me!

Tales from the Journey:

Another cool pic from my travels this week. This time with a wonderful horse named Blue.

Blue and I have been working together for a couple of years now. He has some neurological symptoms due to nerve impingement in his neck. He also underwent basket surgery which did not improve his symptomolgy.

Our focus is to increase comfort, stability, functionality and lessen pain. Yes he is also under veterinary care.

During this session he didn’t want to be touched but sought connection nonetheless. Sometimes my work is on a very subtle level.

He needed me to create a field of coherence that he himself could tap into and utilize as HE saw fit. He would come close, even asking for minimal touch and then back off again. Allowing him to sirext the session is an important part of building trust. Releasing OUR need to control is a journey for sure.

Thank you to his guardian for taking this amazing picture. What you don’t see is the rest of the crew who helped facilitate and also got to “ride the wave”.
Mark - the other horse, three goats, two donkeys, another mini horse and Ted the puppy.

Tales from the Journey

I have been blessed to find my calling and to do what I love. And I have been blessed with many teachers in my life, especially the horses.

But yesterday, this horse showed me what awe feels like.

Leo is a former Mexican Dancing Horse. IYKYK

I have had the privilege of working with him since 2017. There have been many challenges, including behavioral ones due to his past.

When he laid down yesterday, in the middle of the session, I was simply stunned. For THIS horse to trust THIS much is simply a miracle.

I am forever grateful that I have been able to be part of his journey. Thank you Michelle Gilroy for trusting me even when things weren’t always easy. Your partnership with Leo is truly special.

Tales from the Journey:

We finished our Reiki 1 class today with an exceptional group of students and I am so thrilled to have them join our tribe of healers and change makers. Everyone showed up with an incredible willingness to be open about their own journey.

It is such privilege to guide my students to feel empowered and utilize their own gifts and serve our community in their own unique way.

My heart is so full and I cannot wait for the magic and love they will bring to our world.

DM me if you want to be on the list for my next class late summer/fall 2026

Another group of students started their Reiki Journey today. Merlin had to supervise and be in the midst of things, of course!
