1:1 Sessions
Reiki
Reiki provides the calm space that we need some days in our hectic lives. Reiki is beneficial for stress reduction, clearing our minds, and allowing us to access answers in the quiet space. Sessions are 30 or 60-minutes.
Reiki is really beneficial for medical professionals in dealing with their own work stress. I also provide Reiki for animals and have first hand experience in seeing the benefits working at an animal hospital using Reiki on dogs and cats, as well as on the veterinary care team members.
As a Reiki Practitioner since 2007 and a Master/Teacher since 2008, I have found so many benefits in my own life with Reiki. I've observed amazing beautiful experiences that others have received as well with Reiki sessions and in the trainings I teach.
More recently Reiki has been my go to for myself in managing my own anxiety and stress while I was in the role of a part-time caretaker for a loved one with dementia. Reiki helped to create a loving environment and calm space for my loved one as well during their active dying period.
I'd love to help support you through this modality of energy work.
Spiritual Support (Anamchara Sessions)
These sessions support you in navigating life changes through integration of various spiritual practices and tools. Using knowledge and intuition, we integrate a vast array of modalities and practices to support you wherever you are.
There are many ideas, concepts, practices, and tools that we can incorporate into your unique sessions depending upon where you are at, and what interest you. The sessions are educational and supportive for YOU! A space is provided where conversations can arise and discussions can be openly had on a variety of spiritual topics.
Anamchara sessions may include contemplative practices, as well as visualizations, guided meditations, energy work such as Reiki, and readings. Our sessions may also include a slow mindful walk or a labyrinth walk.
Usually within sessions, additional seeds of information are provided to follow up on. These may include suggested readings, meditations, breath work, or other teachers of various spiritual paths and techniques. I may also receive insights from your soul of natural landscapes nearby to connect with. Like my ancestors, I believe in thin places, that God can easily be found in nature, and that nature can support our healing and growth.
I'd be honored to hold the space with you to find your answers within.
What is Reiki?
Reiki, “Universal Energy”, is an energy modality based upon Mikao Usui’s system of natural healing - Usui Reiki Ryoho. Reiki may be used to promote relaxation and wellness and it is not a religion although various aspects of Buddhism, Shintoism and Tibetan Shamanism can be found in some practices within Reiki. The beauty of Reiki is its adaptability—it can be integrated into various professions and lifestyles, promoting balance and well-being. It can enhance focus, creativity, and overall well-being while also managing stress and emotional resilience.
Spiritual Support (Anamchara Sessions)
Have you received a sudden health diagnosis?
Has a recent event shaken you?
Would you like a more spiritual & holistic perspective to something you are experiencing?
These sessions may be the calm waters you need to clear your mind, slow your breath, and to go within to find your answers.
Spiritual Support Sessions are:
- For those needing to integrate a big life experience.
- For those who want to find a rip current to peace, away from whirl-pooling thoughts.
- For those who want a clearer path out of the dark forest of the mind.
- For those that need spiritual support.
- For those desiring to connect to something more in life in deeper, richer, and more fulfilling ways.
As an Interfaith Minister, I serves as an Anamchara in this role to help facilitate your connection back to yourself through various tools, practices, techniques, and thought provoking discussions.
Possible Topics
Animistic and Shamanistic Perspectives & Practices
Having studied with Q'ero from the Andes, a Cherokee Medicine Man, and Hawaiian Kahu in my academic studies looking at belief practices, I'm able to respectfully and with permission, weave together perspectives that may be helpful to shift your thoughts, behaviors, and habits.
Christianity, Creation Spirituality, and Eco-Spirituality
In 2021 I was able to attend an Eco-Spirituality Course virtually through the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Taking this one course opened up a bigger exploration for me into other areas of spirituality and our approach to life.
In addition to Eco-Spirituality, I'm currently studying the Celtic arc of Christianity and the spiritual heritage of the Northumbria area of the UK. This includes the desert, Celtic, Monastic, and Contemplative streams of Christianity. I've also explored readings within Creation Spirituality. Your session may include these topics if they align with your beliefs and/or encourage new ways of perception that you are comfortable with and/or encourage deeper reflection and contemplation.
Energy Work
I've been a Reiki Master/Teacher and a Kahi Loa Master/Teacher since 2008. I can incorporate these into our sessions if they align with your beliefs. Both modalities are used for stress reduction, wellness, and relaxation. Reiki has Tibetan Buddhism and Shinto perspectives weaved within it where Kahi Loa is nature based with roots from Polynesia.
Rituals and Rites of Passage
We often do not take the time to acknowledge major transitions in our lives. If relevant to your situation, we may together create a ritual for healing or to honor the threshold you are crossing, especially after the loss of a loved one.
Sacred Walking
Sometimes all we need is a walk to clear our minds. As a trained Veriditas Labyrinth Facilitator I also hold space for transformation on sacred walks. I host free monthly Sacred Walks in Salter Path, NC at St. Francis Episcopal Church. You are welcome to attend these. I may also during our sessions suggest labyrinth related practices for you as there are many ways we can work with the archetype and metaphors that appear with labyrinth walking.
