Why Energy Work
I came to understand that energy work can offer so much more than a subtle shift. Yes, it can bring rest, calm, and a greater sense of balance, but over time, I’ve experienced it as something much deeper.
One of the greatest things this work has taught me is that I don’t have to look outside of myself for the answers to my life. The more I practice Reiki and energy work, and the more I deepen my meditation practice, the more connected I become to my own inner knowing and to what I experience as Divinity, my ancestors, my guides, and Spirit.
That connection has helped me feel more deeply into what I know, what I believe, and what is true for me. My spirituality is no longer something I simply believe in. It is something I have learned to embody. And for me, embodiment means bringing what I know into the way I actually live how I make decisions, how I move through relationships, how I approach my work, and how I respond when life feels out of balance. It allows me to notice the synchronicities, follow the signs, and trust the quiet knowing within me, rather than continually searching outside myself for direction.
I don’t always live in perfect alignment, but these practices give me a way to recognize when I’ve moved away from myself and a way to return
Ways to work with me
One-on-One Channeled Energy Work
Individual sessions are at the heart of my practice. Each session is guided by what you need in that moment, drawing from energy work, intuition, meditation, and the practices I’ve gathered along my own path.
Meditation, Groups & Collaboration
I love creating in community. One of my favorite parts of Upward Light is the way our healers come together to collaborate and create offerings for the community. I also enjoy leading guided meditations and am always open to exploring new ways of gathering, learning, and experiencing this work together.
Events & Special Gatherings
I’m available to bring meditation, energy work, or other elements of my practice into events and gatherings. If you have something in mind—or simply feel that what I do might complement what you’re creating—I’d love to have a conversation about it.
The Upward Light Boutique
I also manage and curate the Upward Light Boutique, which is another expression of what I love: connecting people with beautiful, meaningful things. You’ll find gemstones, Mama Gemstone Bracelets, and other intentionally selected pieces. I also love giving small businesses and makers a beautiful space to share their work with our community.
Whether we connect one-on-one, gather in community, collaborate on something new, or meet through the boutique, what matters most to me is creating opportunities for connection, with ourselves, with one another, and with the things that bring meaning to our lives.
What I believe
I believe we carry more wisdom within us than we sometimes realize. So much of my own journey has been about learning how to quiet the noise, listen more deeply, and trust what I already know.
I believe there are many ways to heal.
There is no single path that works for everyone. What we need can change as we change, and part of the work is learning to honor where we are now.
I believe our inner knowing matters.
We can spend so much time looking outside ourselves for answers. I believe that when we create enough space to listen, our intuition can help guide us toward what feels true and aligned.
I believe spirituality is meant to be lived.
For me, spirituality isn't separate from everyday life. It shows up in our choices, our relationships, our work, the signs and synchronicities we notice, and the way we move through both ease and difficulty.
I believe balance isn't a place we arrive and stay.
Life will move us in and out of balance. The practice is learning to recognize when we've moved away from ourselves and discovering the ways that help us return.
And I believe in community.
Healing can be deeply personal, but we don't have to do it alone. There is something powerful about gathering, sharing our gifts, supporting one another, and creating spaces where people feel connected and welcome.
We are always changing, always learning, always becoming. There are many ways forward and many ways we find our way back to ourselves.
