Healing Stories

Reiki has been a part of my life for quite some time now. In fact, it seems like eons ago when Dawn and I took our first Reiki class together. As time went on the more we practiced Reiki, the more we started seeing remarkable results. Recently our family experienced a true Reiki miracle and many of you were part of it. On October 24th last year, the dreaded “call in the middle of the night” came. It was 2AM and when I answered the phone my daughter Ashley said “Mom, - I’m at the hospital and I am in...

While in Florida, my father was diagnosed with an aneurysm in the abdominal artery. His paperwork was faxed to his home doctor in Pennsylvania, who told him to get home immediately. The artery should only have been 3 centimeters in diameter, it was swollen to 5.4 cm. Six is considered bursting.

Life’s roads have not been completely smooth for me. I’ve battled disturbing emotions for my entire life, and up until a couple of weeks ago, I thought that future roads looked just as bumpy. That is, until, I discovered Reiki. I guess I should tell you a little about myself. I’ve been battling depression ever since I can remember. When I was a young child, I have memories of wanting to cry for no reason. I have memories of being so frustrated at something, but not knowing what that something is or how to make it better. As I entered...
