After I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in 2010, which included debilitating stomach pain and fainting spells, I was prescribed pills on top of pills (on top of pills!). Seeking relief from the side effects of the pill cocktails, I sought out more natural types of therapy. I initially started seeing a massage therapist to help my body relax. When I explained my issues and symptoms to the massage therapist, he had mentioned that “reiki” might be better suited to relieve my symptoms. After doing a quick search online, I found many articles explaining reiki, which frankly sounded pretty far out. Nonetheless, I kept an open mind and decided to try it out for the next session with the massage therapist.

The session was so peaceful and relaxing that I decided that I would have reiki done instead of massage in all of my subsequent sessions. Eventually, my symptoms subsided! Reiki helped me out so much so, that I asked the massage therapist how I could learn reiki for myself in order to continue self-treatment and to potentially help others. That is how this whole journey began.

It has been a decade since I started learning and practicing energy therapy, spirituality and consciousness. I am ecstatic and elated to now offer my services through Eight Elephants Energy.

In Hindu cosmology, there are eight elephants known as the “world elephants” that support the world on their backs. In the spirit of these elephants, it would be my honor to support and empower you to heal yourself and your loved ones (which includes your beloved animals!), which in turn, will ripple out to help heal the world.

In my spare time, I enjoy fitness, reading, comedy, music (listening to, singing, and playing piano), art (painting, fashion, voice acting—you can view my studio demos HERE and contact me to inquire about any work you need a voice actress for!), and playing with my fur baby family; my two dogs, Brandy and Jude, and two cats, Leo and Magellan.

Additionally, I am a volunteer reiki practitioner at the Inova Hospital Life with Cancer program. You can find out more about this program on my “Additional Resources” page.
