On August 2, 2023 I made a decision that changed my life.  I picked up and put down my last drink of alcohol. Living in New York City as a musician and performer, alcohol felt very much like the fabric of connection within my artistic communities. When I put it down I was afraid of a lot of things. Would I miss out on opportunities? Would I still be invited to events? Would people assume I'm irresponsible or untrustworthy because I didn't drink? Thankfully, none of that happened. Instead, I was thrust into a spiritual and musical awakening beyond my wildest hopes. 

Without the distraction of alcohol I found myself a bit lost on where to put my extra energy. I started writing songs about sobriety, I released my first single about sobriety "I Put It Down" earlier this year.  Soon my songwriting turned spiritual, writing with wonder about existence. I have always written my music from a place of therapeutic need. I sing and write to work through emotions that feel as though they are blocking me from moving forward in life.  Singers have always told me they love singing my songs because they feel as if they are exorcising their own demons in the process. As my songwriting shifted I felt like it started to do something important. My music was connecting me to energy that I missed when I was drinking. It made me realize that the work I do with music is a form of healing for me, my singers, and the audience. Spellcasting at its finest.

After about a year of sobriety life dealt me some blows that challenged my sobriety and I remember standing at a crossroads... Do I cope with the difficulties in life by escaping these uncomfortable emotions through drinking or do I try doing the opposite and become the best version of myself I've ever been? In a culture where we hear at the end of a long day, "I could really use a drink." I felt a pull to abandon the progress I'd made. Then, on October 8, 2024 I saw a psychic in Tarrytown, NY who changed my life with a simple reading. She said to me, "You have confused the sound of your intuition with the sound of your anxiety." She told me that the bad habits I used to use to cope with difficult moments would no longer serve me. She said, "The spirituality you abandoned for those bad habits has not abandoned you. It is waiting for you." I cried and I picked up my tarot deck that was twenty years old, that I hadn't looked at in a couple years, and I meditated.

Soon after that visit I booked a Reiki Healing. I didn't know what to expect but immediately felt a sense of calm and balance during and after the session. I started to read about Reiki and before I knew it signed up for  Reiki 1 and 2 courses with Beth Wishbow (R.M.) and in September of 2025 I received my Reiki Master Certification. Seeing people come into my apartment and truly relax on my table has been an honor. This unlocked a purpose that was buzzing within me for years but without direction or voice. I am a healer. I want to heal. I'm currently in school for massage therapy and look forward to adding that to the "menu" of healing services I can provide.

So whether you want to sing a song, or learn piano, or come lay down on my table and unwind, I am hear to make you feel more relaxed, empowered, and centered with every visit. Your healing, spiritual health, and physical health is my priority.
