More About Me and this healing art space:
How the lifestyle training started.
This system of healing was created from my personal experience and three years of study, concluding in a holistic, integrative, culturally connected system of change sponsored by a Seattle Get Moving grant. Including my 200-pound weight loss and the practice to maintain a healthy body and lifestyle since 2001.
This personal system allowed me to think, move, and live differently. Overcoming many social and personal obstacles when pursuing a healthy lifestyle due to prejudice and a lack of information as a disabled Black single mother. Finding ways to move and eat within my limits became my focus to identify my needs and create or find solutions that fit my needs and were enjoyable to my cultural norms. I did not want to give up my greens and cornbread and go to exercise classes where I was not welcomed, so I found ways to maintain my goals with personal interests with people and books that reflected my culture. It is my desire to share my story with more people like me in similar situations of personal and socially identified roles that are under-served and many times undervalued. I want them to know, change can happen. One step at a time, from the inside out. The Walkable Central District Walking Group is a testament to this truth.
I now use writing, drama, and workshops with other health industry professionals to share my story and offer the life-changing benefits of holistic self-care to all who aspire to a healthy lifestyle. Click here for more information.
How Reiki found me.
An offer to train as a Reiki Master was sent to me on Facebook. This came at the right time. I heard about Reiki from one of my spiritual advisers and was intrigued about training to use it, mainly for my healing. Completion of Reiki Level I, and using Reiki for myself daily, my chronic pain went from an 8 to a 5, with 10 being the worst. I immediately began asking my Master Teacher questions about integrating Reiki into my lifestyle training programs and workshops. He encouraged me to follow my intuition. Now I'm here ready to assist everyone of you in your holistic journeys.
