philosophy
Our goal is to help bring elements of wellness to everyone. I believe by incorporating just one method of healing into your day, you can improve your well-being in big ways. The best way to do this is to make small changes over time. Starting with a yoga class may lead you to attending a sound bath or scheduling a Reiki session. There are so many modalities of healing out there. Our hope is that you find yours. If you are open to it, the universe will guide you to what you need. I want to help people get there by offering some services that have helped myself and others.

My spiritual journey began in 2009 when life threw a few challenges/lessons my way. I began practicing at a studio near my office daily. A few years after I left the corporate world to start a family. In 2016, I decided to take the teacher training program at my local studio Prana Yoga & Dance in Broadview Heights. This was exactly what I needed to turn even more inward, especially, since I had just found out I was expecting. This pregnancy was easy and I know my training and yoga had a huge part in that. In 2016 I also received my first Reiki attunement. Throughout the years I dove deeper into spiritual books and teachings including Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle. I feel so blessed to be able to share all of my knowledge and skills with others, especially my daughters to help them navigate all of life’s many challenges as they grow up.
As I continue to go down this path, I am continuously energized by all the different areas of study. After being certified as an Usui Reiki Master, I found a mentor who led me to a newer form of Reiki that comes from a higher vibration or level of consciousness to provide purification, healing and guidance. This has been such a gift. After reading books and research reports, I began using sound healing to help with my own ailments and my girls’ emotions. I soon felt a strong calling to take Sound Healing courses so I was able to share this gift with others. Through this I have been introduce to so many great mentors. I had the honor of having Jeralyn Glass hand select my set of endocrine Crystal Alchemy Bowls I am using for my sound healing sessions to ensure I am producing pure, high-quality sounds infused with crystals for deep healing. These bowls are handmade in the US, so the intentions and vibrations are genuine and positive. I am trained primarily in Vinyasa Yoga, which is why I love connecting breath with movement as a primary focus in classes. I also like to incorporate sound into classes.
My offerings include Sound Baths, Balance & Bowls, a Yoga class with Sound Healing and Restorative & Sound. I also offer private Chakra Healing and Reiki sessions, incorporating sound, aromatherapy and crystals for a relaxing, purifying experience.
It is so incredible to see what happens when you are able to help introduce people to a few tangible tools they can easily implement to improve their well-being. Spirituality is certainly not a one size fits all approach and every human is capable of healing themselves physically and emotionally. They just need to be introduced to the right tools to get started.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my two daughters who are my whole world, family and 3 dogs, going for hikes/bike rides, kayaking and reading.
