About Me

I am a Reiki Practitioner, Astrologer, Human Design Reader, and a lifelong student. I love learning about other people through sharing, vulnerability, and connection. I believe the purpose of living during this time is to use the gifts we've been given to spread love, understanding, compassion, and support through vulnerability and connection.​

I do a growing variety of things, and I make it my intention to include all of them within the bounds of a few offerings. One of the main things I do is Reiki, and I became Reiki I & II certified in 2020. I have been practicing ever since, but it's taken a backseat to my Readings over the past couple of years. At this point, as I begin my journey on this platform, I'm bringing my Reiki practice to the forefront and creating balance between all my different offerings.

Since I was a child, I've always been able to tap into the energies around me. It took many years to realize this is what I was doing, but looking back I can see the many ways I've been naturally sensitive to energy and how the guiding light I was led by was actually my intuition. Once I discovered what Reiki was, I knew it was something I had to learn. 

Growing up, my family wasn’t particularly spiritual or religious. My extended family is all Christian, and my parents had taken a step away from it by the time I was born. This gave my brother and I the freedom to choose what we believe. For a while, I considered myself a Christian since that was all I knew, but not long into my early adulthood I abandoned belief altogether. I just never felt a deep connection with Christianity, and once I began to question the why behind it all, I had nothing solid to stand on. To be honest, I wasn't uncomfortable by my foundation crumbling either, just more curious, and more free.

After a couple years of Atheism, and learning a lot about Philosophy and Psychology in the meantime, I stumbled across Buddhism and found I strongly resonated with the teachings. The Buddhist books I read were the beginning of a very long series of books relating to Spirituality in general, with no particular denomination and no one rooted way of believing it. This is where I found my Spiritual Truth. Though it calls for continual learning and practice to maintain the path, I feel at home in my beliefs. I also make it a point to have acceptance and respectful for any beliefs of others and would never judge where someone else is on their path. 

During the time between abandoning Christianity and finding Buddhism, while I was studying Psychology and Philosophy in college, I stumbled upon Astrology in a deeper way than I had known before. Until that point, I was aware of my Sun Sign (Aquarius), and the generalized readings given in articles based on each Sun Sign. Although I had always been drawn to Astrology, and felt what I read about myself through that scope seemed accurate, I hadn't looked too much into it beyond what was on the surface level. After diving into Psychology and Philosophy I learned about Carl Jung’s use of Astrology in correlation with Psychology and this was the beginning of my journey into the Esoteric. 

This was exciting, because it had the potential to fulfill my childhood desire to help people on a deep, psychological, and emotional level. Growing up, I thought my only option was to get my master’s degree in Psychology to actualize this dream. After spending only a couple of years in college, I became disenchanted by the mental health system and didn’t want any part of it, dropping out of college to focus on working and taking care of my kids. Although I was disappointed and felt like a failure, I knew that path wasn’t right for me and continued studying the subjects I loved in my own time. 

It was around this time that I began studying Astrology more deeply, mainly for the purpose of self-reflection, self-understanding, and self-discovery (all the same motivations for my studies in Psychology and Spirituality). It wasn’t long before my curiosity in myself through the Astrological lens branched out to family, friends, and co-workers, who were very interested in learning more about themselves and my interpretation of their charts. I had begun officially doing Astrology readings for about a year or two before I discovered the Human Design system, yet another lens through which I understand myself and others.
