Featured Practitioner
I believe with my extensive background working with families, newborns and young children that I am able to bring a valuable sense of peace and integrity to my families. Further empowering them in their making of decisions, their abilities in which to maneuver within the often chaotic and stressful times that surround pregnancy, labor, birth and the postpartum period at home when everyone is adjusting to new roles. Reiki supports this process in a loving, nurturing and safe way so that all family members may benefit from the wonders of this healing energy.
