Hello! Since I get to learn a lot about you when working with you for a wedding or Reiki, here’s a bit about me.
I’m a mom of twins, a writer, editor, Reiki Master, wedding officiant, and activist. I help run a community choir and we sing songs of empowerment and equality for all. I live in the Hudson Valley, where I find great inspiration. I’m a Scorpio, moon bather, chocolate chip cookie aficionado, and I love growing and harvesting flowers and herbs to create magical things. My current favorite crystal is raw citrine, but I’m always in love with rose quartz and celestite and moonstone and … well, all of it depending on what color I’m feeling or what chakra might feel unbalanced. I have two cats, Siegfried and Mango, who are both staring at me as a type this because they want food and/or to be on my lap. I binge watch shows, then go days and days and days without ever turning on the TV. I often like just being outside with a coffee and feeling the sun on my face and the fresh air in my lungs. I love the sound of wind. My favorite holiday is Halloween! And my kids’ birthday! I believe in trying to do all things with love and intention. Honestly, if there was more love and kindness and thoughtfulness in this world, things would be better. I wish the world was better. So I try to do my part as much as possible.
I am certified in Dr. Usui Reiki, and work within this healing modality to heal body, mind, and spirit, helping to balance chakras, relieve pain, clear toxins, and reduce stress to name just a few benefits. I offer one-on-one sessions, read Oracle and Tarot cards, and also host healing workshops for kids and adults. My Kid Reiki Workshops include working with crystal grids and botanicals to help kids gain confidence, employ meditation, and have a deeper love and awareness of self and all living things.
As an Ordained Minister, I create custom wedding ceremonies and work with couples, learning their love story and incorporating meaningful rituals. I also offer handfasting rituals, birth blessings, and vow renewal ceremonials.
I have been a writer and editor for various magazines, websites, and books during my two decade career. My ability to story tell helps to enhance my wedding rituals, and my work as a parent/child activist and educator blends beautifully with the Kid Reiki Workshops.
All of this is my life’s work, and my passion in addition to this …
… my twins … my loves. While this photo of them was taken a few years ago, I love how it captures their essence. My goodness, they are my world.
