Welcome to Open Hearts Wellness

As you embark on a path of self-discovery, allow me to hold space for you on your journey. As a passionate advocate for holistic healing, I was led to specialize in Jikiden Reiki (Level 2) and obtained certification in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I have also completed a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences, focusing on health promotion.

My journey into holistic healing was deeply influenced by personal experiences, one of which was having Alopecia areata for 7 years. This stemmed from a personal stressful event which I bottled up and chose to stay busy so I didn’t have to deal with it. My path instilled a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit, which supports my use of healing modalities. Using a variety of holistic approaches, I was able to work through my own personal healing. Through this practice I saw the transformative power of how it helped improve my own physical and mental health and overall well-being.
