Welcome to Wellness Tools for Thriving! My name is Amy and I am a Reiki Master Teacher and school psychologist. I’m trained in the Usui system of Reiki healing and I offer Reiki energy healing sessions. I wanted to take a minute to share my story and why I created Wellness Tools for Thriving.
I have always been interested in health and wellness and have been on a healing journey of my own for quite some time. My deepest personal work in it began when my Mom was diagnosed with a very rare neurological condition called Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP). This was a devastating, isolating illness, much in part due to the rare nature of it. We were told that she would live a normal life span, but four years later, she passed away from complications due to it. Five years after my Mom passed, my Dad then also passed. At that point I was put in charge of settling his affairs. This was a task I had little preparation for and lacked knowledge in. In the midst of all this, I was a busy working mom balancing work and home responsibilities. These years were some of the most challenging of my life and I needed to find ways to cope.
While healing is always evolving and continuing, I’m at a point where I need to stop and pause, consider how far I have come, and show gratitude for what has helped me on my own journey of health and wellness. I realize how fortunate I have been to find the tools and strategies I have and now I want to be able to share them with others.
Wellness Tools for Thriving is the road map for the path that I followed on my healing and wellness journey, Reiki being an integral part of that journey. Here I share self-care practices that have improved my wellness, healing modalities I have found helpful, and general insights into things you can do to improve your well-being based on my experiences.
I hope you find something that resonates with you here. I am grateful to be able to share what has helped me feel whole.
Reiki has been an important part of my own healing journey, and I now offer Distance Reiki sessions so you can receive support from wherever you are. If you feel called to explore Reiki as part of your own wellness path, I would be honored to work with you. You can learn more on my website: Serenity & Bliss by Amy.
