Like most of us, I got sidetracked with life, school and work.  It wasn’t until I was side swiped with tragedy, the loss of my son Sage, that I turned back to nature to make me whole again.  Often when our lives take an unexpected turn in this way, we do some deep soul searching.  I began finding myself again in the energetics of our planet including energy medicine, plants, herbs and essential oils. 

My desire to stay connected gave birth to a new journey in mind, body, spirit and emotional wellness.  I learned the importance of caring for and being compassionate to myself and how it is equally important to share that with others.

I began immersing myself in Reiki in 2008.  I took Reiki I and II multiple times because I just couldn't get enough! The core of the teachings and practice of Reiki resonated with me and I began to experience the healing I longed for by reconnecting with my true nature. Eventually I received my Reiki Master training with Marydale Pecora through the International Center for Reiki Training and my Shinpiden training with Frans Stiene of the International House of Reiki. I was so excited to share this experience with everyone that I began teaching Reiki in 2011!

And thus, Spirit of Sage was born.

During the pandemic I joined The Animal Rescue Alliance as a foster and volunteer.  Since then, I have fostered and found loving homes for over 40 kittens and cats.  That is not a lot in comparison to all the rescues out there. Along with the deep love, gratitude and reward in rearing these little guys, I have experienced firsthand the stress, worry and grief that comes with animal rescue.  My hope is that I can provide 30 minutes to an hour of relief and loving support to assist with the compassion fatigue our animal welfare community is experiencing and anyone else who needs it!
