"For me, happiness is helping people move through their life experiences
with more ease. Reawakening one's inner light to remember that change is possible;
that a good nights sleep after a long illness or bouts grief, is again possible;
that more than just moments of relief from chronic pain, is again possible;
and all these together can allow one's spirit to be
calmed and strengthened which supports living a full life. " ~ kristine

Reiki premise is that we are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body though pathways called chakras. It also flows all around us in a field of energy called the aura. The Reiki life force nourishes the cells and organs of the physical body supporting them in their vital functions. This enable the body's ability to heal itself. Should it become disrupted it cannot heal itself.
I am sometimes asked; "How did I go from corporate world to serving as health care provider in a the local community ??"
After 20+ years in various aspect of Federal Government contracting from data work to project managing, upon my 3rd opportunity to sit back and reflect on priorities (layoffs and budget cuts), I allowed the idea of a career in healing arts to become my guiding light. It became clear that my focus was always more about the people anyway and they (WE!) are more than just another resource. People need to be able to find their own "healthy", both mentally and physically, so we each can support ourselves and others in being our best possible self. - Kristine
