I became aware of REIKI several years ago, when a friend treated a painful neck. After some prodding from another friend, I decided to study Reiki I and II. Immediately, I became aware of major changes in my life, all for the better, and was starting to help the the people around me from the first day. I had such a complete calling to this wonderful, natural form of healing that I quickly determined that it would be important to learn as much as possible and to teach it to as many people who were interested. A year after first learning Reiki, I became a Master Teacher in. In addition, I am a SEICHIM Master, MPRUE GrandMaster and a Kundalini Reiki Master.
Reiki has been especially meaningful for me personally because I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1990. With the help of Reiki, I have been much more successful in controlling the symptoms and staying more active than most people without the condition. In addition, within 2 weeks of my level II training, I found the answer to a weight problem that had been exascerbated by the Fibromyalgia medications, and began to successfully fight back! Within 10 months, using Reiki and a simple common sense approach, I was able to drop many sizes, 40% of my weight and get back into the jeans I wore in my twenties. I feel drawn to be able to work with people with Fibromyalgia and weight loss issues and teaching them how to let Reiki help.
