The Healing Woods Reiki, Hypnotherapy and Readings

Certified Hypnotherapist, Private Reiki classes for all levels, Virtual and in-person Reiki Sessions I offer peace and grounding in these ever-changing times.

Established in 2000.

28 years ago I picked up my first tarot deck, and I haven't been able to put it down since. My journey on the healing path began early in life, when I was burned in a house fire with third degree burns over 30% of my body. Energy work helped me heal in half the time the doctors thought was possible. In the 17 years since the fire, I have witnessed many energy work miracles on myself and my clients. As a Reiki Master with 20 years experience in energy work, after the fire I was attuned to the Usui's System of Natural Healing as well as Usui's Holy Fire Reiki. I created The Healing Woods in Altadena where I support people in healing and peace from their first breath to their last using Reiki, Tarot readings, Doula and Hospice work. My calling in life is to introduce the world to Reiki while guiding people through the fast-paced energetic shifts taking place all around them.

One thing I loved about Altadena was I had a neighbor that I could go buy eggs from and thank the chickens that would roam around her beautiful garden.

With all the jackassery going on with egg prices and stores being sold out 10 minutes after they open I decided to find some local Arcadia chickens and now I have a beautiful supply of multicolored eggs from well taken care of Arcadia chickens that I can thank personally.

I went to go pick up a blackberry bush starter from a neighbor in Altadena who rescued it from her burned down home… It was sunset and even amongst all the ruin my beautiful Altadena mountains still looked beautiful.

A beautiful message on my morning walk dipping my toe back into nature.

15/02/2025

This was my first time really taking a nice long walk through nature since before the fire… Apparently I have PTSD and am subconsciously afraid of nature and feeling that it will hurt me. I am untrusting of it now because it almost killed me living immersed in it. Me....afraid of nature? I've been working with an EMDR therapist and told her of me recently cutting my time short in Ojai because I was fearful for the safety of myself and my animals as well as family issues coming up that I had to take care of and she said this was totally normal for PTSD. She was the one who suggested that perhaps my nervous system no longer feels safe in nature and that I should try to take it slow by slowly getting back into nature and not taking a long trip away to get into nature like I normally do. To dip my toes back into Nature, I went to the beautiful trail I would walk at least two times a week when I lived in Altadena. My body finally felt good being in nature… I sat in an Oakgrove and cried as I looked at the mountains that were burnt that used to be lush and green and are now brown in the horizon. The safety zone of my magical Oak Grove held me and showed me signs that nature is here to love me, and it will rebuild itself before any of the humans rebuild, and she also gave me a heart rock at the end of my hike to show me she loves me and will not hurt me. I'm still gonna take things slow and just go into nature in my surrounding area. Who knew there would never be a time in my life or I did not feel completely safe in nature… PTSD is a strange drug.

I've really been missing my morning routine of feeding the ravens and squirrels from my bedroom window, so I decided to make friends with the crows, hawks and squirrels in my new yard… I even found out I have owls in the 2 redwood trees that are towering above the Healing Woods room! Slowly rebuilding and coming back to Center.

One of the bright sides to losing everything I own is, I have lots more room to upgrade to more magical and beautiful things… Here is my birthday gift to myself and my house. 🐦‍⬛ 🖤🌝

Birthday adventure #1.... a magical labyrinth in the mist surrounded by oak trees.

I decided to visit the very first courtyard. I ever lived in when I moved into beautiful Altadena after my first house fire in Eagle Rock. Those of you who have known me for almost 3 decades will remember this beautiful courtyard that was called "Kitty courtyard" and also "ho**er lane" by certain friends. 😆 seeing my first home in Altadena burnt just like my last home makes it all the more real how all of my memories and special places and Altadena are just gone. It's not a personal loss at this point but a collective grief of so much loss put together that is unfathomable.

My sweet kitty boys are happy to report that they found a new cat tree home huge thanks to my amazing sister 🖤🖤🖤

I definitely still feel the spirit of Altadena in a huge way…

I was out and about shopping at a store that was offering deep discounts to fire survivors, but also was just open for regular business so it was bustling with people.

Two women in line and I realized that we were all getting the deep discount and asked each other if we were from Altadena.

As soon as it was confirmed that the three of us were from Altadena we all just looked at each other and cried and did a group hug in the middle of the store.

This is the Magic of Altadena that I will severely miss and this is what I'm mourning hard.

This morning I had the small hope that in the huge wreckage of my home I would find the one TINY thing that I was kicking myself for not bringing when I escape the fires: a blown glass pendant that my amazing friend made for me many years ago which had the ashes of my beloved kitty girls Annika, and Amma in it. Y'all know that I've accidentally burnt a house down before and lost everything I owned so I know how to release stuff and I don't really mourn any items I lost as much as I mourn my community, the nature, the magic of Altadena and the animals that have been hurt in this fire storm. The one thing I did mourn was not grabbing my kitty girl's ashes before departing. I am so elated to share that thanks to the amazing help of I have been reunited with my kitty girls ashes pendant PLUS almost a whole box full of my crystals including the amazing crystal skull that gifted to me during my cancer battle which has been sitting on my ancestor altar as an homage to all of my ancestors and a touch stone for me to feel them. There were also some amazing magical tools found like my Hecate triple keys from her altar, my horseshoe of abundance, the cauldron I have been doing Bu****it Bonfires for people in that has traveled up and down the coast with me, the huge gargoyle statue that has followed me from home to home for almost 30 years who stands watch at my front doors. All of these things have made it through the craziest fire storm we have ever seen and they are all survivors. There was even a little tiny plant that I had planted by my front door that my neighbor gave to me and it was starting to grow from the burned soil, so I took my burnt shovel that was laying on my front steps covered in rubble and dug that little plant out and brought her home and planted her in the earth of my new home to ground in that power of Phoenix rebirth energy. That plant was literally the only green in a sea of ash, black, gray, and brown.... there is always hope!!! 🌱 I'm feeling complete with that beloved home and bringing these powerful tools to my new home to be wards that help this Phoenix rise a 2nd time. 🔥🔥🔥

It's not everyday that I have a respirator and a hazmat suit laid out for my daily wear… Today I sift through the ashes of what once was my beautiful home.
