Like many, I had experienced trauma from an early age. Growing up I suppressed a majority of it by trying my hardest to be a perfectionist at everything from academics, sports, and even people pleasing.

Suppressing all of the trauma and then the trauma I accumulated going into adulthood would only get me so far before it began to take a serious toll on my physical wellbeing. At my lowest and worse state of health, I turned to many holistic healing modalities. From yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and then finding Reiki.

I eventually decided to take what I had practiced for a few years to become a RYT-200 and Reiki Master so that I could help others that may have also needed the extra boost (adding a disclaimer here: yoga, reiki, and other healing modalities are NOT a replacement for receiving actual medical care. These modalities are simply a supplement to the care you are receiving).
