Compassionate Presence
Rooted in loving-kindness and mindful presence, HeartLite is a welcoming space devoted to women's holistic well-being. At the heart of my practice is Reiki, a gentle invitation to pause, reconnect with your center, and simply be. Through Reiki, meditation, gentle yoga, and compassionate coaching, I offer women opportunities to nurture their inner lives, cultivate self-awareness, and create meaningful moments of peace.
As a Reiki Master Teacher, doctoral-prepared nurse educator, researcher, registered yoga teacher, and professional life coach, I bring more than 22 years of nursing experience and over a decade of holistic and contemplative practice to my work. My approach weaves together professional knowledge, lived experience, and a deep commitment to caring for the whole person.
Throughout my years in nursing leadership, education, research, and personal exploration, I have come to understand that women's well-being encompasses far more than physical health. It also involves honoring our emotional and spiritual needs, recognizing the weight of the many roles we carry, and creating space to reconnect with who we are beneath life's expectations and demands.
My own journey through profound loss has deepened my understanding of compassion, the importance of being witnessed without judgment, and the quiet strength found in simply being present. These experiences have strengthened my desire to offer women a space where their stories are honored, their experiences are met with kindness, and their individual journeys are allowed to unfold at their own pace.
At HeartLite, you are welcome exactly as you are. Whether you are navigating grief, experiencing a life transition, seeking greater balance, or simply longing to come back home to your true essence, my intention is to walk alongside you with compassion—offering a gentle space for reflection, connection, self-care, and personal healing.
What Is Reiki? A Gentle Space for Life's Changing Seasons
Life brings seasons that ask more of us than words can express. We may find ourselves navigating profound loss, unexpected change, emotional exhaustion, or the uncertainty of a life unfolding differently than we imagined. During these times, having a space to pause, reconnect with ourselves, and simply be—without expectations or the need to explain what we are carrying—can become a meaningful act of self-care.
Reiki is a traditional Japanese practice rooted in the concept of universal life force energy. Offered through gentle touch, hands held just above the body, or traditional distance Reiki methods, it provides an opportunity for intentional rest, stillness, and mindful awareness. Reiki is a complementary wellness practice that has been explored in a growing body of research for its potential to support relaxation, reduce perceived stress, and promote overall well-being.
My relationship with Reiki extends beyond my role as a Reiki Master Teacher. For more than a decade, Reiki and other contemplative practices have been part of my personal journey. Through life's joys, challenges, and profound changes, I have returned to these practices for grounding, quiet reflection, and compassionate self-care. My own experience of loss has deepened my appreciation for the importance of creating moments of peace, even when life feels overwhelming.
At HeartLite Reiki, I bring this understanding into every session and learning experience. Whether you are navigating grief, moving through a significant life transition, or simply longing for a moment of stillness, my intention is to offer a welcoming space where your unique life experience is held in love and your well-being matters.
You do not have to arrive feeling strong, hopeful, or certain about what comes next.
Here, you are welcome exactly as you are.

Held in Love Reiki™
Honoring the love that remains. Nurturing the mother who carries it.
The passing of a child changes a mother's life in ways that words can rarely express. Amid the profound absence, enduring love, and challenges of navigating everyday life, finding moments to care for yourself can feel both difficult and deeply necessary.
Created from my own experience of losing a child, Held in Love Reiki™ is a compassionate Reiki Level I training experience designed especially for mothers who understand this journey. Rooted in love, remembrance, and mindful presence, this intimate workshop offers an opportunity to learn the foundations of Reiki, receive a traditional Reiki attunement, and develop a gentle self-Reiki practice that can walk alongside you throughout your personal grief journey—offering moments of stillness, reflection, and compassionate self-care as you continue to honor the love you carry for your child.
My intention is not to offer a solution to grief, but to share a practice that has become meaningful in my own life. There is no expectation to share your story, find meaning in your loss, or move beyond your grief. Here, your child's memory is honored, your experience is held in love, and you are welcome exactly as you are.
Come as you are. Your love is welcome here.
Find a Moment of Peace
Sometimes, a few thoughtful words can offer a moment of comfort, a new perspective, or a gentle reminder that we are not alone in life's experiences. Through HeartLite Reflections, my Substack publication, I share personal reflections on love, loss, mindfulness, spirituality, and the quiet wisdom we discover through life's changing seasons. I invite you to pause, reflect, and explore the journey of finding meaning, connection, and moments of peace along the way.
