My Background
I was born in Detroit, Michigan and grew up in the metropolitan area. I was raised
Catholic by my father and my mother focused more on New Age and spiritualist values.
This mixture helped me to question my beliefs and strengthen my desire to always
continue learning.
At the age of 20 I moved to Landstuhl, Germany to attend college while I worked for the
US Army as a civilian. There I met my first Reiki Teacher, Cathy Manos, who attuned me
with my first, second and third level. Her instruction focused on both traditional Usui
Reiki and a mixture of other energy practices. Living in Europe was a wonderful
opportunity for me. Europeans, in general, are much more open to holistic practices, and
living there gave me many opportunities to visit sacred sites and expand my knowledge
and practice.
I moved from Germany to Rapid City, South Dakota in 2003 and met my next Reiki
Teacher, Nancy DeYoung. I received my Master-Teacher attunement through traditional
Usui instruction with Nancy. I also met Bobby Marchesso, my psychic mentor, who taught
me to develop my intuition and interpret the messages I receive.
I now live in Colorado Springs where I'm so happy to experience the abundance of
holistic modalities and opportunities for spiritual progression.
