About the
Green Mountain Reiki Institute

I was introduced to Reiki by a friend after having trouble with a frozen shoulder that was refusing to budge, even after months of western treatments. After my first Reiki session, I could move my shoulder several inches higher than previously measured. I continued with the Reiki sessions and my shoulder continued to improve. I didn't know how or why Reiki worked, but I knew it did.

A few years after my introduction to Reiki, I decided to learn how to do this remarkable practice and found my teacher. This was in 2008. I opened my Reiki practice in November 2009. In 2019, I became a Lineage Holder of the Goslen-Brown-Takata-Hayashi-Usui Lineage.

Prior to this my primary business was fiber art, specifically paper sculptures and contemporary baskets.

And, prior to my art career, I spent 15 years as a nurse. I worked primarily in labor and delivery, and also was a member of a nursing research group, with several published articles.

I am a past Co-President and member of the Vermont Reiki Association. Please see their webpage for additional information: Vermont Reiki Association
