WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a Japanese natural healing technique used for stress reduction and promotion of physical and emotional well being. This technique focuses on measuring and balancing energy in the seven main chakras. Energy is transferred from a practitioners hands to a clients energy field, so my hands are hovering a few inches above your body at the chakras points to release negative energy and to add positive energy. Chakras are pipes that take in energy from other people and the outside world. Chakras also send your energy out to the world. You can imagine all the energy, positive or negative, that you have encountered or absorbed over your lifetime that has affected you deeply. It is essential to remove the effects of unhealthy experiences that have built up over time in your energetic pipes. These experiences include difficult relationships, family tension, trauma such as loss of a loved one or breakups, work stress and physical pain and illness.

WHAT IS BREATHWORK?
Breathwork is a 3-part active meditation that works to release stuck energy in the body such as stress, tension or trauma. The breathwork allows blocks to clear and helps facilitate deep emotional release within our physical, mental and emotional body. Breathwork is for everyone including (and especially) anyone suffering from chronic pain, deep rooted trauma, anxiety, depression and asthma. Breathwork creates a unique, personal experience that will connect you to your body’s vibration and your intuition. Breathwork is a way to get through your pain - your anger, fear, resentment, disappointment and societal pressures. It works to reprogram limiting beliefs, make space for mental and emotional clarity and works to strips away the societal pressures that many of us feel. The release that breathwork gifts you creates space for deeply connecting to your intuition, your creativity and gives you an overall sense of wholeness.
Completed Levels 1, 2 & 3 of Breathwork Facilitator training under Erin Telford and David Elliott.
MY JOURNEY
I was always curious about metaphysical topics but had shied away from exploring them because of a very traditional upbringing. Due to work stress, lack of fulfillment and lack of clear life direction I finally booked a Reiki session in hopes that it would help. Even after just one session, Reiki provided a sense of peace, groundedness and emotional stability I needed not only for my work and life path, but also as I faced the loss of multiple loved ones in the following months after my first session. After a year and a half of regular Reiki treatments, the physical and emotional benefits were so impactful that I decided to come certified, completing Reiki Level 1 and 2. My training was much more thorough than the average single day class. As a result my sessions are more expansive, using a pendulum for detailed chakra analysis as well as crystal healing.
Through my work with Reiki, I was inspired to explore many other healing modalities. My first breathwork experience was profound, cathartic and deeply healing. Simultaneously, I felt my heart crack wide open which facilitated the creation of vast space in my body. Through Breathwork, I was given the permission to release an immense amount of sadness, anxiety and anger that had been living in my body. It also allowed me to be more present in my life, in my work and most importantly, with myself. Breathwork has truly given me the gift of working through the trauma I’ve been holding in my body, both ancestral and current life traumas as well as the grief I’ve had to face in this lifetime. It also has gifted me the ability to sit with and hold space for others as they commit to their own healing.
Through my work as a Reiki & Breathwork practitioner my mission is to help others live a more joyful, meaningful life as the most authentic version of themselves.
TESTIMONIALS
‘After having done Breathwork before, I had a lot of expectations going into it of what I was going to experience and discover. Those expectations were blown out of the water. You can tell Katie knows what she’s talking about and proves it to you throughout the entire process. She showed the kindness, love and caring that helped me to go deeper than I thought possible with this kind of work and I feel so much lighter, freer, relaxed and loving. You can also tell that Katie herself has done this work as she is a joy to talk to and be around!’ - Matthew M.
‘I have been attending Katie's breathwork/reiki group sessions for a year and they have been essential to my personal wellness/mental health during such a challenging time. Katie curates an experience for participants from the theme, messaging, heart shares, quotes, and playlist - it's always relevant. Additionally, Katie's sessions are trauma informed and so supportive. She holds space in her sessions for participants to process both what was going on personally as well as socially, politically, globally, etc. Even though the sessions are virtual, you can feel her support and energy with you the entire time. Katie is a true healer in every sense of the word, I am so grateful she came into my life when she did and for the space that she holds - it has truly been a catalyst in my life’ - Krystin P.
‘Connecting with Katie virtually has been one of the best things I've done for myself. Every session, I go in with an intention, Katie hears it and completely encompasses it throughout the session. I feel heard, seen, and appreciated. Katie takes the time to explain her process, gives space for questions and intentions, and caters a special playlist for each session. There's a special glow I get right after my breathwork with Katie that I take with me throughout the week. Not only is Katie spiritually gifted, but she's funny to boot! I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a space to connect and receive.’ - Hannah T.
‘PRESENCE! That’s Katie. I have attended many of Katie’s group sessions remotely. Her presence fosters an environment of safety and comfort. During the introduction of the session the feeling I get is comparable to having returned from a fulfilling vacation and being excited and happy to be home. Breathwork is often unpredictable and that uncertainty is intimidating, even scary. Yet, in her sessions I feel accepted and valued. I believe these critical components of breathwork are achieved through Katie’s ability to connect. During her session I feel like I know her and she knows me. We do not speak to one another, my camera is off, I’m on the floor with my eyes closed. How is if I feel this connection of closeness? Presence. When breathwork begins, she makes me feel like I have authority to decide what level to engage in the session, and no matter the decision, she’ll be right there beside me. Invaluable support. Thanks, Katie!’ - Graham S.
‘I have had the pleasure of receiving guided Breathwork from Katie many times. Throughout 2020 she offered weekly group sessions that honestly really helped me get through the year. She is such a kind and wonderful soul and so caring and generous. Her themes always seemed to feel so fitting. Breathwork has been such a useful tool for me over the past year and a half, and I am so grateful to Katie for helping be a part of that. I recommended her several times to people and will continue to do so because she is amazing. She pairs reiki with the Breathwork as well which has been so soothing and calming and I think they make a really powerful session together! She always has a curated playlist to match each theme as well which is special. If you’re thinking of trying Breathwork with Katie, do it!!’ - Lauren C.
