Bodywork

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese hands-on-healing method introduced to the West in the 1930's. Many massage therapists offer Reiki for relaxation and healing. I began practicing Reiki over 15 years ago. It is a powerful, yet gentle method of complementary alternative healing. I have witnessed Reiki relieve extreme pain and stress within 15 minutes, and often bring a sense of peace for my clients. There are many types of Reiki being taught and practiced. I am a professional member of the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) and I am an Usui/Holy Fire II Reiki Master.

Massage Therapy

I currently have my own practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I offer several techniques to meet your goals whether that is for relaxation, or to reduce pain and stress all aimed to assist in your healing - for your health and well being. My previous experience includes: Urban Escape Massage & Bodywork, in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Many of my clients at Urban Escape requested deep tissue to ease their muscle tension due to low back pain, upper shoulders & neck stress from desk jobs, full body deep tissue from strenuous work outs, running, tennis, cycling. Others requested relaxation massage to ease the tensions of their everyday life. I provided techniques including deep tissue, sports massage, trigger point, soft tissue release, positional release, MET, compression - and utilized hot towels, hot stones, essential oils, and Reiki. ABQ School of Massage - the clinic at the school in Albuquerque, NM.

I utilized both geriatric and lymph techniques often seeing my dementia patients respond with deep relaxation.

Coaching

Reiki Life Coaching

My experience as a Reiki Life Coach evolved from the training and education I received from Naropa University in transpersonal counseling and my Reiki education and practice. Naropa is a one-of-a-kind private university where East meets West not only at the Rocky Mountains in Boulder, Colorado, but also where the Eastern philosophies come together with the western traditional academics. With this exceptional education that included counseling skills and mindfulness awareness meditation, I offered client centered counseling in Boulder, Colorado with mindfulness awareness. Later, after increasing my Reiki experience and education and relocating to New Mexico, I began to take a new step toward integrating all of my skills and now offer Reiki Life Coaching specializing in reducing anxiety, pain, and bringing clarity to relationships and life decisions.
