Hello and Welcome!

Here's a little about me and Karuna Wellness

Hello! Let me introduce myself more deeply.

​

I was born and raised in South-Western Ontario, Canada, moving often as a child. I grew up in in a low-income family, and learned how to make the best of what I have and then grow and expand from those experiences. I've always enjoyed the outdoors and connecting with nature. Water is my favourite element (in case you're wondering).

​

I went to University of Windsor to achieve my Bachelor in Human Kinetics with a Movement Science Major. I've always had an interest in the body and how it all works. I then went on to complete my Masters in Human Kinetics with a Sport Management focus using the TPSR (Taking Personal and Social Responsibility) model. This model assisted marginalized youth in tapping into their inner power and ability to self-direct. I also worked with the Town of LaSalle with suggested policy for access to recreation for low-income families.

​

I still had a calling for the wild. I missed nature after spending numerous years in the city. My partner and I moved to Algonquin Park and worked there seasonally in the summers for five years and then lived in the Muskokas and the surrounding areas during the winters. I guided people on day trips in the wilderness, I spent hours paddling and backcountry camping, soaking it all in. I managed a few stores and departments within an outfitting company, before something else redirected us. 

​

After our first son was born, we received an opportunity to relocate in the Bancroft, Ontario region. My partner began working with a colleague on the creation of essential oils from the scraps left behind by the logging industry, specifically spruce, balsam, and cedar. During our time in the Bancroft region, we had our second son, and worked different full time jobs locally. After working at a retreat centre, I felt a deep calling re-awaken within me that I had forgotten as a child and I started my healing/healer journey.

​

I obtained my Reiki Master Practitioner/Teacher, Axiatonal Alignment Practitioner/Teacher, and Karuna Reiki Master Pracititioner/Teacher certifications through Willow Tree Health and Wellness. I have so much love and gratitude in my heart for Darlene and Jeremy of Willow Tree Health and Wellness for supporting my journey.

​

I then had a friend who introduced me to Dolores Cannon's work. As I went down that rabbit hole, I found myself waking up at 3am with excitement wanting to learn more. I went on to obtain my Level 2 Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique Practitioner Certification. I had found my true calling! I eventually quit my full time job to fully pursue my passion. This was not an easy choice and it challenged a lot of my conditioning and programming and my partner's. He and my family and friends unconditionally supported my journey and still do to this day. I am continually growing and expanding and love sharing my journey with others.

​

I founded Karuna Wellness before I left my full time job and before I knew what Karuna Reiki was. I just love synchronicities! The word Karuna kept entering my mind. I found out it was Sanskrit for compassion for others as for oneself and vice versa. We are all connected in our healing. How beautiful! The word Karuna defines my soul purpose and I fully embody this in my healing work and as an everyday person walking around doing regular person things.

​

Today, I offer more intuitive and expanded offerings as I also grow and change. I share my journey with others on social media so that they may also grow and step into their power more fully. When we embrace our power truly, we are able to connect with higher aspects of ourselves, and heal ourselves. We can deprogram and reprogram our consciousness and thus, our life. Boom!
