My Story
I have been a professional Dancer/Actor/Singer on and off Broadway for the past 20 plus years. One of my first jobs in NYC after graduating from Point Park University was dancing in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. No, I wasn’t a Rockette. I am only 5’4” which is 3” shorter than the end of the line. I was, however, a dancer in the chorus and I loved it!
Part of that job was wearing a 30lbs bear costume in point shoes dancing on a stage made of steel. Needless to say, I found my body hurting and in need of some care. A fellow dancer pointed me in the direction of a massage therapist by the name of Jimmy Horvath. I called him up, made an appointment, and planted myself on his table. He then asked if I was interested in just massage or massage and Reiki. I had never even heard of Reiki but I said, “Give me the works!”.
Well, I stepped down from that table forever changed.
Not only did my body and skeleton feel amazing, I felt a shift - an opening - in my spirit. I felt an overall sense of wellbeing and confidence in my place in the world. I was hooked! Over the next 20 years I continued to see Jimmy for physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Sometimes I saw him weekly but sometime I’d go a year between visits. I managed to survive all those years performing on Broadway without suffering any serious injury, and I credit much of that to the healing power of Reiki.
In 2017 I finally decided that I needed to know more about Reiki and how the energy worked. I trained under Jimmy and received my Reiki I and II Degrees, using these practices to help myself and those around me. During the summer of 2021, I received my Master Level Attunement, taking me to the highest level of Reiki practice.
I since have honed my own style of treatment incorporating my experience as an artist, a mother, a Yogi, and an empath. I love introducing people to this magical style of healing and my goal is to make it accessible to anyone who seeks it. I am always grateful for the opportunity to aid in someone’s path to wellness!
