About Me
My Healing Journey
In 2011, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and several other autoimmune disorders. After a year of trying multiple prescriptions—including injections—I felt worse than ever. Deep down, I knew there had to be a better way.
That’s when I turned to acupuncture and yoga. Within a year, I was completely off all medications, and at my final rheumatology appointment, my bloodwork showed no inflammation—every RA test was negative.
From there, I discovered the transformative power of healing crystals, essential oils, and meditation. These practices changed my life—body, mind, and spirit.
When I began receiving Reiki treatments, something inside me said, “This is what you’re meant to do.” On 2/22/22, I took a leap and enrolled in my Reiki Level I class. Since that day, my path has been one of incredible growth, healing, and purpose.
Now, I’m passionate about sharing the very methods that helped me heal—emotionally, physically, and spiritually—with anyone who feels called to do the same.

My Story
The Story Behind A Touch of Zen
A Touch of Zen was born from my own healing journey with Reiki.
​
After completing my Level One Reiki training, I experienced a powerful shift. What began as a personal practice for self-healing quickly revealed itself as something much greater—I realized I was meant to share this energy with others. Inspired and energized, I began envisioning what that could look like.
​
The universe, as it often does, had its own plan. An unexpected opportunity opened for me to join The Complete Experience Wellness Center, and I followed the call. That chapter allowed me to deepen my practice, connect with incredible souls, and gain the confidence to dream even bigger.
​
In time, I felt called to create a space that was truly my own—a sacred, peaceful studio where I could host healing circles, events, and one-on-one sessions infused with intention and love.
​
Thanks to a bit of serendipity, I found the perfect place. Today, A Touch of Zen is a cozy, heart-centered space designed for relaxation, transformation, and connection.
I’m here to share what I’ve learned and to walk beside you as you navigate your own healing journey.
Welcome to A Touch of Zen. Your path to peace begins here.


My Approach
I was trained in the Usui method, by Laurie Rodic, at Angelic Roots. Laurie taught us to use our intuition first and foremost in our reiki practices. That resonated with me and that is how I practice. I use sound, oils and healing crystals in my reiki sessions, as well as, the traditional hand placements.
