My Story
For as long as I can remember I have always considered myself to be a naturalist. Ever since I was a small child, I had a passion and a longing for being outdoors. Whether I was running barefoot and catching grasshoppers or jumping in mud puddles and climbing trees. I have always felt connected to nature and it will remain the place where I find myself calm, balanced and energized. In 1996 I became a certified nurse's assistant, where I worked in geriatrics, assisting the elderly with ADL's. In 2006 I graduated from the LPN program at Questar III, Troy, N.Y. Afterwards, I worked primarily in homecare, assisting my clients with ADL's, medication administration, wound care, and end of life care. 2024 I had decided to retire as a nurse to focus on my spiritual enlightenment journey, perpetual growth and transformation. In March of 2024 I attended Reiki level 1(Shoden) with, Gina Clemente, RMT of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. During this class and upon completion I felt calmer, lighter and refreshed. It was by far the most invigorating, transformative and empowering experience of my life. Gina's knowledge of Reiki and her teachings far exceeded my expectations. It was then that I realized that I wanted to further my knowledge and skills in Reiki. In May of 2024 I attended Reiki level 2(Okuden) distant healing with, Gina Clemente, RMT. In August of 2024 I successfully completed the Reiki Master(Shinpiden) course with Gina Clemente, RMT. Currently, I work at the Salt Den, Latham, NY. There I work in a Himalayan salt cave as a Reiki Practitioner. It has been such a pleasant and rewarding experience. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work in such a beautiful atmosphere, with beautiful people. Over the past several months I have also completed many other healing modality courses such as, Angelic Healing Practitioner diploma course, accredited by the International Association of Therapists, Natural Animal Communications course with Helen Davita, Pet and Animals Reiki Practitioner course with Melissa Crowhurst, accredited by The International Natural Healers Association, The International Association Of Therapists, The Natural Healer Society.

Throughout my experiences as a Reiki practitioner, I realized that I leave a positive impact on the lives of others, through Reiki healing. Moreover, I find it to be quite rewarding to be in a position of facilitating balance and harmony for them. After many sessions and much positive feedback from many of my clients, I decided to open a business of my own, Aura Glow. My goal is to continue to facilitate healing and promote prosperity in others by channeling universal life force energy through gentle touch aiming to balance energy flow and improve emotional, physical and spiritual well-being, for a more balanced life.
