I envision my clients have empowered intentions which express themselves more fully through this supportive work.  I serve to provide the opportunity to harmonize, balance and compose wholeness.

The title of this site Living + Healing Arts kept coming to mind when feeling challenged to describe my work.

Healing Arts is often used as a broad umbrella for health and healing practices, but I see living to be an art, especially in the urban landscape of New York City.

Art is a label of creative expression or perhaps pure expression. Webster’s first definition of art is “skill acquired by experience, study, or observation“, often in relationship with ‘harmony‘, ‘balance‘, ‘composition‘.

Living Arts expands the mind/body/spirit work of Healing Arts with the environments we inhabit.

I work to create spaces which support body, mind and spirit for explorations of consciousness, artistic expression, meditative practice, or simply joy.  My work is rooted in professional study of lighting + human health, design for healing environments, environmental psychology and environmental metaphysics.

In my own studio I offer Reiki energywork, meditation, and spiritual shamanic healing sessions.

Reiki is a Japanese Natural Healing System using light touch and energy balancing techniques which often create deep states of meditative relaxation or an overall sense of well-being. Reiki sessions support the body and its own natural healing processes.

I am an Advanced Reiki Practitioner from a 180-hour program at the New York Open Center, taught by Margaret Ann Case, Reiki Master and director of Reiki Arts Continuum in New York City. I began my Reiki journey studying with Margaret Ann in February 2006.

My call to Shamanism became a formal study in November 2006 and has been a rich path of revitalizing my own personal connection to the spirits of this planet, and empowering strong inner work from the core of my being.

Through a personal self-care, and a gradual training program, my personal dedication to a deepening practice with healing arts has transformed my own life, and I meet interesting people everyday who are sharing their own personal value of the work.

I look forward to being a part of your healing journey.

Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.
