Through loss and grief, I have come out on the other side and experienced incredible personal and spiritual growth. I live in Greensboro, North Carolina and am a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner as well as Certified in Reiki and Foot Reflexology.  I am dedicated to my practice and believe with all my heart that doing this work is where I was always meant to be.
