Art Description
Reiki Healing Energy was created in response to completing my Reiki Level 2 certification training. The painting style uses intuitive abstract technique, where the painting emerges out of emotion rather than a fixed outcome idea. Reiki is a non-invasive touch therapy, healing and relaxation technique originating from Japan. There are japanese symbols and other imagery in the painting reflecting my own experience as a Reiki healer. The practice of Reiki and Art Therapy are two modalities I use to connect with patients, utilizing a blend of creativity and meditation techniques for wellbeing. This painting represents my focus as a practitioner using touch therapy and the human ability to create, and is directly related to the mission of A.T. Still University focusing on innovative and accessible whole person healthcare.

I am a board certified and licensed clinician residing in New York City, with a Master's degree in Clinical Art Therapy and Reiki level 2 certification. I have been drawing and painting since the moment I could hold a crayon. I feel that my creative spirit along with a holistic, meditative, complementary appraoch to healthcare shapes my view of optimal wellbeing. I believe tapping into these inner resources to enhance healing should be a part of every community's health care and wellness practices.
