More about me

I want people to remember my passion for positively impacting the world.  If I can share my experience, strength and hope with enough people, this will happen.

I provide the service of Reiki because it changed the course of my life.  I feel I have a responsibility to make this opportunity available to others.

I also live fairly comfortably with Clinically Diagnosed Fibromyalgia.  When I received my diagnosis I was frustrated, angry, and frightened.  I wasn't convinced Fibromyalgia was 'real'.  I thought it was something Healthcare Professionals gave a name to when they simply couldn't come up with a diagnosis.

I was wrong.  I became active in my own care by learning what types of food and activities affected my Flare Ups.  After being on Pain management of Opiates for almost a year, I made a personal decision to get off of them altogether.  It has been over seven years now and I regulate my health by eating healthy, resting when I need to, remaining active by walking or running, light stretching and practicing self-Reiki Daily.

I am currently volunteering with Continuum Care of Washington.  Reiki Sessions with Hospice Clients is such an incredible gift for them, and for me.  I am truly honored to be able to get to know these amazing people, listening to their stories, and giving them some relief through Reiki.  I am incredibly blessed to be able to walk them home.

After a few years of being franchisee of a national Dog Daycare, Boarding, and Training Facility, I owned and operated Auntie Victoria's Pet Care, LLC. I focused on providing personalized care for each client.  When the pandemic essentially closed travel and working remotely became the norm, the majority of my client base no longer required services.  I went back to my career / vocation in the Medical Staff Services field, focusing on Credentialing and Privileging.  I am currently enjoying full time employment with the best Children's hospital & Research Facility in the Nation. 

This allows me to follow my passion, pursuing relationships focusing on Health and Wellness through Reiki. While I have maintained some of my Pet Care clients, I have become more focused on offering Reiki to Animals as well as People.  

Animals have always been my passion and they deserve peace and wellness just like we do.

I am also a Compassionate Entrepreneur with Trades of Hope.

Trades of Hope is a forward thinking organization that supports Female Artisans Worldwide.  By recognizing a need for Women to have opportunities to support themselves, their children, and sometimes their entire families, this Fair Trade group took action.

Please take a look at my website, learn about the need for Women in Fair Trade and how I make a difference... and how you can as well.
