  • Private Reiki Classes

    I offer private Reiki classes if the dates of my current classes don’t work for you, if you have friends, family members or coworkers you’d like to do a special class with or if you’d like me to come and teach at another location other than my healing space.

“I learn over and over again that the creative process is an intelligence that knows where it has to go. Somehow it always finds the way to the place where I need to be, and it is always a destination that never could have been known by me in advance.”

-Shaun McNiff, art therapist
