“Growing up, I remember my grandmother and my aunt always saying, " listen to your body, it will tell you everything you need to know". When someone was ill, I’d hear them say, “give the body time, it can heal itself". I come from a family of generations of healers; there were teachings that were instilled in me as a child. As I got older, being a comforter came so naturally. My touch was always therapeutic to those in pain (so I've been told). 

The real turning point in my life was when it was me who needed healing. A few years ago I became ill, doctors performed many tests on me and could not find anything medically wrong with me. Physically they could see that I was in pain but could not find the cause. Therefore, I was sent home after weeks of tests and no results, only a list of medications to take. That's when my journey began — to heal thyself.

Through all the pain that I was experiencing, I could hear my grandmother and aunts voices telling me to listen and feel. I started to focus on the pain in my body. I paid attention and laid my hands in the particular area. I actually communicated with the pain and started to feel something. Sometimes I felt heat — a tingle. Other times I laid my hands on the area and it would just feel cool. 

Those minor results started to surface things I remember learning as a child. Energy was something that was respected in my household, it ignited my passion for energy and educating myself on the subject. I began to study and practiced what I learned on myself.

My body was beginning to heal itself. Now I wanted to feel, learn and experience more.

For my first journey, it was essential to travel back home to Thailand, my birthplace. I returned there for the sole purpose of learning how to feel energy and be mindful of it. I gained so much more respect for this powerful source. There were many healers, many styles and techniques that I came across. There I found what worked for me. 

My body received so much healing energy in those couple of weeks. I was back in the states a new woman ready to teach, heal, and guide others like so many had done for me. I was like a walking miracle to those who didn't understand the power of energy. 

Something was still missing and I sought to delve into this healing modality even further. The next journey led me to Africa. There, I studied Reiki, and learned: "Reiki energy is as ancient and as timeless as the universe itself.” Studying Dr. Usui’s style and techniques made me want to master it. I studied everyday. I practiced Reiki on myself every night. 

I know that it was Reiki (energy) that healed me. And my purpose now is to heal others. To work with an individual’s energy is an honor and a privilege. This sacred healing responsibility has kept me humble. 

Until I leave this earthly realm, I will use this amazing gift that has been given to me to heal, teach, and attune others.”
