Shared Experiences
“Becoming a Reiki Level 2 practitioner has been one of the most incredible and meaningful experiences of my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better Reiki Master than my best friend. She created a welcoming, supportive, and peaceful environment that made learning feel both empowering and very personal, always for your highest and greatest good.Her knowledge, patience, and genuine passion for Reiki made every part of the training easy to understand and inspiring. I came away feeling confident in my abilities, more connected to myself, and excited to continue this healing journey of mind, body, and soul.I’m so grateful not only for everything she taught me, but for the opportunity to share this experience with someone I trust so deeply. If you’re considering Reiki training, I wholeheartedly recommend learning with her. It was truly an experience I’ll always treasure and I look forward to taking my Reiki Mastership with her when the time comes.”

“I have had multiple Reiki healing sessions with Shannon, and from the very first session I noticed a positive change in both my mental and physical well-being. Each treatment has left me feeling more balanced, relaxed, and better able to handle the stresses of daily life.Because of the positive impact Reiki has had on me, I now attend weekly sessions to maintain consistency in my healing journey. These regular sessions have become an important part of my wellness routine and continue to improve my overall quality of life.I am truly grateful for the care, compassion, and healing I have received, and I would highly recommend Reiki to anyone looking to support their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.”

“Working with Shannon and Katie has been a truly life-changing experience. Their intuitive guidance and Reiki sessions provided me with the clarity and peace I had been searching for. I feel more centered and connected to my inner wisdom than ever before. It is such a welcoming, sacred space for healing. Highly recommend!”
Kathleen Gallo
“I received a reiki session from Katie at my house. She was so accommodating with the space I had available. She explained her process thoroughly and how she got into reiki. Katie played some lovely, relaxing, calm music to set the stage. What was fascinating to me was that Katie kept getting a sense of flowing water while working on me and I kept getting tingles that would shoot down to my feet. My feet felt very heavy, so she explained that it could be me grounding myself energetically. At the end of our session, her music switched from the calm music to “Vacation” by the Dirty Heads. She said that it could be a sign from the universe about taking a break, to relax more. During the rest of the day, I kept getting tingles moving down to my feet. In the following days, the lower half of my body felt heavy, reinforcing the idea of grounding myself energetically. I also drank a lot more water than I usually do. It was such a lovely experience, Katie was beyond wonderful and I would see her again in a heartbeat!”
Lauren Sullivan
“When I go to doctor appointments I have major white coat syndrome. Just getting my blood pressure checked often causes it to become high from feeling so anxious. One day after work I did a reiki session with Shannon. I immediately felt calmer afterwards. I could feel the stress in my body begin to settle down. Later that same evening I happen to have a doctor appointment. I had not been taking my blood pressure medication and was concerned what it was going to be. My blood pressure turned out to be lower than it had been many other times I had it taken there! I truly believe the calm I felt from the reiki session had helped my blood pressure from escalating from anxiety as it had done many times before. I was so relieved and so thankful for that session! Thank you so much!”

“Katie has a rare combination of warmth, empathy, and intuition that makes every reading feel deeply personal. She listens carefully to what I’m experiencing and selects card spreads that speak directly to the specific situations and questions I’m navigating, rather than offering generic interpretations. Her ability to connect the cards to real-life events with both sensitivity and insight has brought me clarity during some important moments. I always feel supported, understood, and better equipped to move forward after a session with her.”
