About me

I found Reiki, as a patient, after a very long battle with chronic illness and mental health conditions. After many years of visits to numerous medical specialists, multiple tests & countless medications, I found myself with no answers to my physical and mental symptoms and with little hope for a better life. My mental health was at an all-time low. Anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, pain, neurological issues and other physical symptoms continued to adversely affect my quality of life. My ability to show up for my family & friends was impacted, performance at my job was affected and my peace of mind was gone. I was desperate for answers and frustrated with standard western medicine, so I decided to try some alternative treatments. Then, I found Reiki. 

When I received my first Reiki treatment, I felt amazing and I knew immediately that I was called to become a Reiki Practitioner. In fact, after that first treatment, while I was still on the treatment table, I asked my practitioner how one goes about training to become a practitioner! To my delight, my practitioner was a Reiki Master who was starting her next training session soon after. It was absolute serendipity!

I have since become a certified Reiki and Animal Reiki Practitioner. I am an animal rescue volunteer, I have a strong intuitive connection with animals and I am passionate about the  wellbeing of all animals. I opened Whiskers & Wags Wellness as a way to combine my love of animals with the healing power of Reiki. 

My goal is to bring your beloved animals healing and peace, through the power of Reiki, and to provide them with the same unconditional love that they so freely offer to this world.

Love & light,
