My Story

I learned Reiki in 2000 from my cousin, Valerie Byram.  Val was one of the first Reiki Masters in the State of Washington.  In 1995, I asked her about what she was currently doing at a family get together.  She told me about Reiki and I had no idea what she was talking about.  In 2000, I went through a period of stress and depression.  I was also frustrated with my work as a Home Health Physical Therapist.  I got an intuitive nudge to call Valerie and ask her about her healing work. She told me a little bit about Reiki and said she was teaching a class the following weekend.  I signed up, still not really knowing what Reiki was or what the energy felt like.  Valerie, to this day says she can't believe I actually showed up to the class.

It was love at first experience!  I loved the Reiki energy- the feeling, the power, and the gentleness of the energy.  Most of all I loved the fact that the energy goes to the highest good and can do no harm.  

Reiki has changed my life.  I am more open, more loving and more intuitive since I learned Reiki.  I now have a gift I can use in any situation at anytime.
