EXPERTISE
REIKI HEALER
Since completion of my Reiki certification in 2017 I have provided healing sessions for clients with great success, while also embarking on my personal healing journey. Along with providing individual healing sessions, I have also taught classes to those interested in deepening their own spiritual practice. Reiki, aka the Therapeutic Touch, is a complimentary stress reduction therapy which provides patients with an environment that promotes restoration and healing naturally.

MINDFULNESS
With support from faculty at the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy, I co-founded a weekly meditation group and gained experience leading the group in guided meditation practices. The group consisted of students and faculty. I also helped organize an annual free yoga program at URI run by faculty and student volunteers. It was very nice to promote mindfulness in such a stressful academic environment while gaining experience leading a group.
