A gentle space to rest, restore, and realign.
Life asks a lot of us — physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive healing practice that meets you exactly where you are. Whether you're navigating chronic pain, grief, burnout, or simply a longing for stillness. I offer a safe, calm, judgement-free space for you to relax, share, and heal.
Reiki Treatments
Reiki is always safe and can be used in any situation. Whether you come in for a physical concern, emotional support, or spiritual growth, the energy goes where it's needed.
90 minutes
In-Person Reiki
Sessions take place in my Reiki Shed — a fully renovated garden shed nestled at the back of my property in Waverley, beneath a canopy of tall trees next to a babbling brook. It's a quiet, clean, and cheerful space where we can be completely uninterrupted.
$90 per session | Sliding scale available — please ask.
45 minutes
Distance Reiki
Reiki works across time and space. We begin with a 20-minute video call via FaceTime or Zoom, then I go into meditation for 45 minutes to send the energy. Afterwards, you receive a voice memo and follow-up email with any insights from the session. Questions are welcome.

90 minutes
Forest Walk Reiki
Come with me into the woods for an immersive forest therapy experience. We hike together for about 10 minutes into the forest behind my property and settle beside a babbling brook for a seated Reiki treatment. For those who love the outdoors and are open to something a little different, this one is for you.

Some clients experience minor digestive changes following treatment, this is a normal, temporary clearing.
About me
I'm a mother, artist, art teacher, flower farmer, and Reiki practitioner based just outside Halifax, Nova Scotia in Waverley. I grew up in the USA with parents who had me in the garden from the time I could walk — 'it's just good clean dirt' was one of my father's favourite sayings.
I studied Studio Art and Anthropology in college, ran the student garden on campus, and spent time on organic farms and a vineyard before earning my Master's in Art Education. My early love of nature has always fed my art, I noticed the details and colours in flowers and plants, and wanted to capture that beauty.
At age 17, I suffered a traumatic brain injury that led me, eventually, to Reiki. After years of physical and psychological rehabilitation, I stumbled upon the practice and it felt right. I received my first attunement in the Usui tradition, and 19 years later I became a Violet Flame Reiki Master. Healing myself through Reiki was profoundly empowering, and it opened me to my psychic gifts. I am clairtagent, meaning I receive guidance and messages through touch.
Rhubarb & Roses is my way of sharing both of these passions with you — beauty and healing, in one place.
