I am certified Karuna Reiki Master and an affiliate member of the International Center for Reiki Training.

I began my journey as a lighting designer for live performance traveling the world to create works for dance, opera, and theater. When the pandemic hit, and every performance venue across the globe closed, I began a healing journey that took me inwards. Years of meditation and reflection revealed that it was time to be of service. Since then I moved from depicting light onstage to bringing light to the people.

I have completed 4 units of Clinical Pastoral Education as a Hospital Chaplain with New York Presbyterian Queens Hospital and Stony Brook University Hospital.

While completing my training as a chaplain I certified in all levels of Reiki training with Reiki masters William Lee Rand and Jissel Ravelo.

I am also currently enrolled in Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry Professional Training Program. This is described by Gabor Mate as: ‘a psychotherapeutic approach focused on uncovering unconscious dynamics and hidden beliefs that contribute to mental and physical illness, addiction, and other struggles.’

My intention with my Reiki service is to fold together the experience / instincts of an artist, a chaplain, and a student of Compassionate Inquiry to support to each client’s healing journey. I hold in my heart Gabor Mate’s premise that everyone, regardless of age or background, has the innate ability to bring themselves back to to that place of wholeness. A place where peace and calm allow direct communication with ones gut instincts. This intention places compassion, empathetic listening, and love above all else.
