Hi. My name is Christine and I am so glad you are here.

Being highly sensitive and deeply spiritual, my journey has been slow and deep. It has taken me time to reach where I am in learning how to embody who I am in relationship with the world around me. My life has always been deeply connected to the spiritual and the desire to realize my own healing and wholeness and to be of service to the healing and wholeness of others.

My relationship with Reiki began in 2010, when I first started studying with my primary teacher, Mary Preuss, in the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition. I completed Reiki Levels I and II, Advanced Reiki, Reiki Master Practitioner, and a Practitioner of Energetic Arts training with Mary. Long before I found Reiki, prayer and my relationship with the Divine were essential to my life. When I discovered Reiki, I experienced it as a kind of wordless prayer—a quiet, powerful way of listening, intending, and joining in partnership in a sacred Yes with Love. Since then, energy healing has been a deeply meaningful part of my journey of spiritual growth, self-realization, and learning to live the truth of who I am.

Alongside my Reiki training, my approach is informed by training and experience in social work and in trauma-informed practice with young people, families and individuals affected by trauma, domestic abuse, substance use, mental health challenges, and involvement with the justice and carceral systems. These experiences have deepened my commitment to being someone with whom people feel seen, heard, and accepted, and with whom people who have felt fragmented, unknown, estranged from themselves, or exiled from belonging can encounter unconditional positive regard, loving presence, and the invitation to finally come home.
