Reiki Yoga Hypnosis Davidson Moving to Davidson has been wonderful for me, my fiancé, and our dog child (who now has a yard). The community of Davidson is charming but more importantly it is welcoming. In the few short months we have lived here we have met many lovely people and feel so grateful to call our neighbors friends. I am already feeling attached to this adorable town! I am so pleased now to not only live here but also have a Healing Arts Office in beautiful Davidson. At my office I will be working with clients privately or in small groups. Each session is tailor made to suit your needs and often is an interweaving of one or more technique (Reiki, Hypnosis, Yoga, Sound Healing, and Stress Management). Over the past 15 years I have been practicing, studying and honing my skill set to maximize the time we will spend together. A session would benefit you by: Relieving your Stress. Reducing your Chronic Pain. Lessening your Anxiety. Increasing your Relaxation. I absolutely adore helping my students to transform and I would love to assist you. In addition to my local work in Davidson, I will continue to travel as a teacher and further my work for the University of Maryland as a Hypnotist, Reiki Master and Yoga Teacher Trainer. REIKI YOGA HYPNOSIS DAVIDSON My private office is located at 102 South Main Street, Suite 3, Davidson, North Carolina 28036 in a small building that overlooks Lake...

Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease vs. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome At the age of 25, I was officially diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. When my doctor told me, my first thought was: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) was the stupidest name for what I was experiencing. To be honest, I never got over that. I still think that the name is dumb. My battle with CFS lasted for several years. For a time I identified with my illness, I wrapped it around myself like a blanket and slept away my days. I was a year in before I decided to try to figure a way back out. It was almost two years before I chose to identify more with healing than with my illness. Looking back, that shift in my focus from illness to healing was in many ways a miracle. Someone I loved once gave me a box of darkness. It took me years to realize that this too, was a gift. ~ M. Oliver During the time of healing I learned far more than I lost. I recognize now that the process of healing from CFS was a remarkable teacher. My illness, in many ways, woke me up to my life. Nearly 15 years since my diagnosis and it turns out that I wasn’t the only one that hated the name Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Recently the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has chosen to reclassify CFS as Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease. It may seem silly, but even now, ten years out from my healing, I am glad for that change. In my healing practice I specialize in helping others find...

An age ago a very wise friend gifted me with the book Relax and Renew by Judith Lasater. Since then Restorative Yoga has been a regular part of my varied yoga practices and particularly useful when I am feeling overwhelmed by stress or exhaustion. I find that I am drawn to this style of Yoga in the winter months – it feels right on a cold and blustery days to indulge in a form a practice that requires a heap of blankets. Out beyond the idea of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field, I will meet you there. ~ the ever dreamy Rumi Here are some things I love about Restorative Yoga: In a pinch you can practice one Restorative pose for 5 to 10 minutes and shift your mood. Wrapped in blankets, supported by props, breathing deep. No technology, just you, your breath, and the practice. It is effective, quieting, nurturing, and simple. The Restorative Yoga practice I offer at Quiet Winds, like all of my offerings, is a layering of healing arts. My intention behind this methodology is to create a deeply relaxing experience where my students have the opportunity to rest and restore themselves. As a teacher I am often shocked by the level of stress that my students bear on a regular basis both personally and professionally – I love to help my students unwind from their world and become deeply...

Katrina, Stephanie and KC – Reiki I Attunement When I first heard about Reiki I was struggling with Chronic Fatigue (CFS). Before my illness I would have been hard pressed to even participate in a conversation about energy work and its healing abilities. In fact I am positive I would have closed my ears entirely. However, the version of me with Chronic Fatigue was open to anything that could possibly bring me back to myself. At that point I was more than a year into my battle with CFS (which is far, far more than simply being tired). I felt betrayed by my body and because of my illness I had no choice but to transform my power yoga practice to one of a restorative nature. Over the course of my illness I utilized numerous styles of doctors, nurses, chiropractors, acupuncturists, therapists, and nutritionists in an effort to heal myself. I also rested. Rested. Rested. Rested. The second winter of my illness I relocated from Maine to Arizona in order to have sunlight and warmth through the darkest months. It was there that someone recommended Reiki and it was then that I had unknowingly moved myself directly across the street from a metaphysical college that offered training. Mike and Kelly – Reiki I Attunement I never had a treatment session. I just signed-up for a Reiki I Attunement and was over the course of the weekend changed forever. Reiki (and just to be clear no one actually knows what it “really” is – is defined as Universal Life Force Energy, which is similar in concept to Prana and Chi.)...

Not to be snotty but I have maintained a daily practice for over a decade. It became my touchstone during a very difficult time and has remained so ever since. Through my practice, I breathe myself into a place of action rather than reaction. Allowing my postures and meditative practices to become a reflection of where I am currently. When you practice something daily, in whatever discipline you choose, that practice will grow and change and shift with time. Although now my practice is a mirror for my current state of being it took a very long time for it to become so. When I first started with Yoga, my type A-personality was desperate for perfection in my practice (and life in general). I forced myself to bend and shift, stretch and strain, even in my meditations. To be honest, there was an unhealthy forcefulness with how I came to the mat and manipulated myself through my practice. After many years of pushing myself in every direction, I went down for the count with chronic fatigue. That time in my life, although it at first appeared like a curse, was really a blessing. Over several years I used Yoga, Reiki, and Hypnosis to heal myself. It was during that time of healing that I realized yoga is not about perfection. Quite simply, that is why it is called: practice. As my perception shifted, how I engaged in practice shifted as well. Instead of force, I began to move to my mat with compassion and make inquiries into the nature of my mind, body, and spirit. Those first few breaths...
