What were your professional beginnings like and what led you down this spiritual path in life and in your career?
In June 2002 I went in for an exploratory surgery when the surgeon found Stage 1 ovarian cancer. I was 32 and thanks to a total hysterectomy, now deep in the middle of menopause.
8 weeks of recovery came with lots of thinking time, and what I kept circling back to was “What am I waiting for?” I had too much to do. My story was not over. Hell, I only had 32 chapters and no idea what my finale was going to look like.
My parents raised me to be X, I wanted to follow my own spiritual/religious/political path. It took a while but eventually, their confusion evolved into acceptance.
I fell in love with a niche style of yoga called Rahini. At the time the only way to learn more was to take the teacher training course. This was in 2006, and I can say with 100% certainty that the course and the people associated with it changed the trajectory of my life.
What are the main benefits of doing Reiki on a regular basis?
Quieting the mind and body for any length of time is healing in and of itself.
Letting your brain know that there is a time and place for chaos and right now is not it.
That’s why taking a bath, going for a walk, gardening, meditation are all recommended so highly.
Reiki takes all the benefits of those activities and adds the energy of the universe.
Done regularly, reiki refills the wells (mental, physical, spiritual, emotional) before they get empty.
What is Bija Deep Core Healing and how does it work?
For our N2Y package, we set up a time and place (my studio unless they are cat intolerant)
In 3, hour-long, sessions you will learn:
- How to do the most common flow poses;
- What poses NOT to do based on individual physiology, & past injuries;
- Basic Sanskrit, and class terminology.
Sessions can be spread out or all at 1 time.
What can people hope to learn from one of your Asana classes?
They can expect to learn how to trust what their body is saying to them. No matter how much education anyone has, how many classes they’ve taken, in what percentage of the class they graduated in, no one will ever know your body better than you.
What other services do you offer?
Besides yoga and reiki, we offer sound, chakra, and intuitive healings.
