I am an interfaith minister and singer/songwriter. A lifelong spiritual seeker, I became interested in Reiki in the early 1990's when it helped cure a debilitating sciatica condition, but it wasn't until 2013 that I received the Usui Reiki Level 1 attunement, and Levels 2 and 3 just this year.

What brought you here?

My path as Lightworker has been revealing itself to me over the past 10 years, although I've struggled to understand the best focus for my practice. My life challenges during this period have made focusing on meditation difficult, but Reiki has gradually presented itself as my natural healing modality. Having just committed to beginning a professional Reiki practice and seeking to expand my knowledge base, I stumbled upon Chris' books on Amazon, which inspired me to explore this website.

What can you contribute?

As a minister, musician, and former psychological counselor, I bring a strong multi-disciplinary perspective. I have a strong interest in Tibetan Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta, and Western Mystery Tradition.
