My Story…

After experiencing multiple strokes, I live with complex neurological symptoms including intractable migraines, vision issues, Parkinsonism, and communication challenges. These conditions shape how I move through this beautiful world.

Fortunately, two incredible women have been alongside me on my medical and healing journey. Tricia (primary care) and Karen (therapist) each recognized the incredible pain I experienced and suggested I try to non-traditional option to compliment the care provided by my medical team. As a Type-A left brain thinker I did not quickly embrace their advice. With some additional nudging, I acquiesced. What did I have to lose?

What began as a supportive practice for personal healing as I recovered from health challenges evolved into my formal study of Western Reiki (Usui Shiki Ryoho) continuing with studies in Traditional Japanese Reiki (Shin Shin Kaisen Usui Reiki Ryoho). And… Be Still Be Will Be Whole, LLC was born.

At Be Still Be Well Be Whole, LLC, I blend Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho with select Western Reiki practice elements. Shin Shin Kaizen emphasizes stillness, gentleness, and nervous system regulation. This non-directive, non-invasive approach supports the body’s natural ability to settle and reorganize without force, without expectation. Western Reiki offers a gentle structure and its familiar hand placements. Ultimately, I practice this approach because together, Shin Shin Kaizen and Western Reiki support being with my clients fully, respectfully, and without agenda.

Every Be Still Be Well Be Whole session is quiet, respectful, and trauma-informed (adaptability is key). Sessions are appropriate for individuals feeling overwhelmed in their lives, experiencing stress, burnout, chronic conditions, neurological sensitivities.

(*NOTE: Reiki should never be considered medical treatment nor curative. Reiki is not in place of medical treatment. Reiki is a complementary practice in addition to traditional medical treatment.)

Just as importantly, let us not forget that a session with Be Still Be Well Be Whole is prefect for those of us hoping to pause, to feel calm without having to try, to experience a rest that feels deeper than a “break” or a nap. When you quiet your mind, the body follows, only then can healing occur.

I would be honored to be a part of your journey to stillness, wellness, and wholeness!
