Reiki Mentorship & Certification Levels 1-3a

As a Reiki Master 1st Degree with a deep commitment to trauma-informed healing, I offer Reiki mentorship, certification, and apprenticeship programs designed for individuals seeking to deepen their practice. My approach integrates indigenous teachings, energy healing, and holistic wellness, ensuring that each student feels empowered to heal themselves and their communities.This program is more than a certification—it's an apprenticeship rooted in service, reflection, and connection. In addition to personalized mentorship, students have the opportunity to participate in volunteer-based Reiki activities with marginalized communities, including survivors of violence, immigrant and refugee populations, and BIPOC wellness spaces. These real-world experiences allow practitioners to offer healing in culturally responsive, justice-centered ways.Each level is currently offered at $175 to support accessibility via online or in-person.

Donation-Based Reiki Treatments

Healing should be accessible to all. My donation-based Reiki sessions provide a compassionate space for all individuals, health professionals, and community healers to receive restorative energy work without financial barriers. Each session is tailored to support emotional release, balance the nervous system, and restore inner harmony, allowing for deep rest and renewal.Click the calendar link below to schedule an appointment.

Education: Mental Health, Trauma, Yoga & Reiki

With a Masters of Public Health and a background in trauma-informed care, my educational offerings bridge the worlds of mental health, yoga, and Reiki. I provide culturally responsive workshops and trainings that center the BIPOC experience, addressing trauma, resilience, and holistic well-being. My teachings empower individuals and organizations with practical tools for self-care, healing justice, and sustainable wellness.

Yoga & Reiki: Private, Corporate & Organizational Offerings

My trauma-sensitive yoga and Reiki sessions are designed to meet individuals and groups where they are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through accessible movement, intentional breathwork, energy healing, and mindfulness, I create inclusive spaces that foster grounding, self-awareness, and holistic well-being.Whether in private sessions or corporate and organizational events, I offer practices that support stress reduction, emotional regulation, and embodied healing. Each session honors cultural traditions and the diverse needs of practitioners, centering care and restoration.I’ve had the privilege of partnering with organizations committed to healing and empowerment, including:*The Groove Chi (Chicago, IL)
*The Network: Advocating Against Domestic Violence (Chicago, IL)
*Austin Coming Together (Chicago, IL)
*A Greater Good Foundation (Chicago, IL)
*Oliver Wendell Holmes Elementary School (Oak Park, IL)
*John Walt Foundation (Chicago, IL)
*Sarah's Inn (Forest Park, IL)
These collaborations have allowed me to share trauma-informed yoga and Reiki with youth, educators, survivors, and community members across diverse, justice-centered settings.
