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...

I feel as though lately that I light candle after candle. I name individual people, I imagine cities glowing, and I move through life with the taste of blessings continually on my lips. Right now, right at this moment, there seems to be an abundance of fear, anxiety, grief, struggle…To be honest, the energy of the earth’s peoples can be overwhelming and I feel reactive in a way I haven’t for a very long time. But I know my role is not to be angry. My role is not to harbor ill will. My role is not to join the multitudes that are inadvertently aligning themselves with the darkness. My role, my job, my life’s work, is to herald the light and to be as bright as possible. When I feel the darkness most, I remind myself of my work. I interweave light practices into my teachings. I align with the light daily and I make a point of offering the light out. I believe that it is important it to become as light as possible, to literally: make of ourselves a light, as Buddha counseled. There are so many simple ways to up our vibrations and glow just a wee bit more. We are all worms but I do believe that I am a glowworm. ~Robin Williams The more of us that are light the lighter the world will become. After all, we all ONE. It is we who are the universe. But remember: You cannot be high vibration and exhausted at the same time. That is like being anxious and relaxed, which is physiologically impossible. Treat yourself,...

When I am in the midst of significant change. I practice a lot. I find that it keeps me aware of my moment so that I catch when the fear is climbing in, and push myself in its way. Fear is consuming, and when it is at the forefront, it keeps us silent and in our place. When I am aware, and I notice the fear begin to fill first my feet and then my knees, I choose to remind myself of what becoming a butterfly really means. As a child I had the notion that the cocoon was peaceful, the gestation was like nap time, the wings just grew, and voila butterfly. But that is not the truth. There is nothing peaceful about becoming a butterfly. Caterpillars are not hibernating in the cocoon, when they become a butterfly, they are disintegrating. Frigging disintegrating! Perhaps all the dragons of our life are princesses, who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. ~Rilke The Caterpillar let go, willingly became goo and transformed into a butterfly. When I am aware, I tap into this metaphor and look at what my fear is paralyzing me with. Funnily enough, most of the times my fear is not real. My fear is about something that only serves to trap me. By facing it I can decide if I need to align with it or let it go. More often that not, I breathe deep and give myself over to the change. After all, it worked out for the caterpillar, which was once inching and can now...

It use to be that I didn’t mind mess and noise. internal or external, and I would participate in the pettiest of dramas. Chronic Fatigue changed my tolerance and my life shifted and changed accordingly. By embracing my practices during my illness I was able to carve out a space of safety within myself. Where once it was uncomfortable to be silent and still, now I literally long for my mat. I choose to keep my house simple, uncluttered, and nicely lit. I buy myself cut flowers weekly because to me they are like putting spots of joy in my rooms. Joy is one of the highest vibrations – sneak it in wherever you can! I drink my water with lemon and when I have time I let it sit and infuse with sunshine. The majority of the food I eat is whole, with a handful of ingredients and freshly prepared. I now shy away from personal drama and have let go of many friends and some family who create it, or co-create it with me (after all I ain’t no victim). I practice my practices every day. I am grateful to them because they keep me calm and my mind clear. If you haven’t been taking care of your precious self, if you haven’t given yourself any time, my rituals may seem over the top. But trust me when you get into the swing of it, with a little practice, they will become easy. Life is stressful and one of the ways I combat it is by allowing myself these simple pleasures, nurturing myself without a lot of...
