My Story
My passion is working with clients to help them heal, restore their energy, find balance, and reach goals. I feel it's vital to embrace each person's authentic self, support their individuality with compassion and non-judgement, and encourage their innate ability to take charge of their personal growth and well-being.
​
I love exploring ways to dive deeper within the soul essence.​ I apply a heart-centered practice that creates deep relaxation and clarity, and is designed to support what you need at that very moment.
​
My approach is customized by integrating mind/body energy healing, self-awareness and coaching. Considering we all have different needs when it comes to accessing areas of healing (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual), it's often that one single approach isn't enough. And for that reason, we can look at treating these areas holistically.
​
Sessions and programs are designed to support your healing journey and are customized based on self-discovery and individual needs. This includes a personalized and holistic system of energy healing services, coaching programs, Reiki training, and group events.
Through Reiki, sound healing, guided meditations, coaching and more, I work with clients looking for alternative ways to heal and embrace their truest self.

HOW & WHY IT CAME ABOUT
Over the years, a demanding marketing career in the corporate environment took a toll on me. My health suffered with migraines, chronic pain from a tailbone injury, and years of managing anxiety that only escalated over time. Having a work-life balance that allowed me to spend time with my family became increasingly difficult and found it hard to dedicate time focusing on things I truly enjoyed such as art, music, nature, and energy healing.
After several months of knowing I needed to make a change, I no longer resisted what my intuition was guiding me to do. I had to make a major lifestyle change which meant leaving the corporate world to start my own consulting business in 2016. I desired flexibility and freedom in my schedule so that I could work more on my personal healing and overall wellness. That decision lead me deeper into exploring my own healing practice and intuitive gifts. And two amazing women came into my life who helped me get back on track to achieve the much needed balance I creaved.
​
I met Megan Hettich one day during a yoga class she was teaching. We struck up a conversation after class about Eastern medicine and alternative ways of healing. From then on, I started seeing her for Qigong and Shiatsu bodywork. The first experience and thereafter was amazing. Megan introduced me to Brandi West for acupuncture which I found worked really well with Qigong and Shiatsu and started a weekly routine.
I implemented a daily practice that quickly provided results in my physical, mental and emotional health. Their friendship and encouragement made a significant impact. They were so inspiring and the experience reminded me of the importance of healing, self-care and how Reiki was such a huge part of my life that was once a priority. Shortly after meeting Megan and Brandi, I started incorporating Reiki as part of my overall wellness plan, lifestyle and daily routine. The benefits of Reiki went beyond my own self-healing as I started giving Reiki to my two daughters, friends, family and pets on a regular basis.
​
This time of healing and self-care led to me completing my Usui/Holy Fire Reiki Master certification and the opportunity to create KC Holistic Healing in 2019. I went on to receive additional certification in Integrative Shakti Reiki healing and started implementing mindfulness coaching and inner work into my practice. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I love giving Reiki, teaching classes, and helping others achieve their wellness goals. And when you're ready, I'd be delighted to have a session with you!
