About Me

Growing up, I carried with me an underlying feeling that there had to be more to my life than what was. But what was it? I had no idea but felt that while I walked to the beat of my own drum I would eventually find it. Knowing that once I did, I would find my inner peace. I faced many challenges over the years but I stayed constant searching for that elusive piece of me that would calm my inner turmoil.

It is surprising where the path of life takes you and the doors we must open and close to get to a point where we are ready for our next stage of spiritual growth. I had bought herbs from a lady for years. Andrea was a lady who faced adversity but never let go of her purpose in life. One beautiful Sunday morning, she asked if I would be interested in hearing about a new path that she was on and would I be interested in trying it. She talked to me about Reiki and all of its wonderful healing powers. It sounded interesting and I was willing to giving it a try.

I returned to Andrea’s home for my first Reiki Session the following week. She brought me into the old barn, the same place where she sold her herbs. I believe her table was an old door with blankets on it, nothing fancy here. My healing on a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual journey began. This is what I had been searching for. I found that inner peace that I had been looking for all my life.

In 1998, I was ready to take on the responsibility of a Reiki practitioner. Andrea introduced me to Ellen who became my initiating Reiki Master for Level 1 and Level 2. Ellen always told her students: “ To Trust Reiki “ and to “Let Reiki Teach You”.

I was on the right path now and my inner peace turned into excitement. I was truly on the path of my Soul’s Journey.

My interest continued to grow and over the years I have become a Reiki Master in the Usui, Karuna®, Gendai Ho, Seichim, and Sacred Flame methods of healing energies. In the year 2002, I became a board director for the Canadian Reiki Association and in 2004 was appointed President of our Association. We are an association that provides our members with a national voice; encourages high educational standards; promotes ethical practices and teaching; and also assists the public with referrals to Registered Practitioners and Teachers. I expanded my interests and obtained a Level 2 certificate in Therapeutic Touch. Then with the Ontario College of Reflexology, in 2002, I became certified as a Foot Reflexologist Practitioner. In 2004, I earned my certification as a Teacher with the College. Finally in 2005, I became certified as a Hand Reflexologist Practitioner.

It was in November 2007 at the Toronto Whole Life Expo where I had a conversation with two members of the Canadian Reiki Association. They mentioned the Bio Mat and they were using it in their practice. My curiosity was tweaked and I made note to do a Google search when the show was over. Shortly after this conversation I was surprised to see an Amethyst Bio Mat Booth at the Whole Life Expo. Distributors were demonstrating the mat to the public but I had only a few moments to listen to some of the healing benefits of the mat. It was the next day when I really needed to experience the mat for myself. I was exhausted and dehydrated from the long hours at the show. What an experience it was. In a very short period of time I felt totally different. It felt like someone flipped a switch from off to on. It was that dramatic for me. I ordered my mat the next day along with the distributorship package and I have not looked back or regretted my decision. I am thrilled that I can include the Amethyst Bio Mat for all treatments I perform at Soul’s Journey.

My journey continues…
