My Story

My journey into energy healing did not arrive with fireworks or a dramatic awakening.
Instead, it unfolded quietly… then suddenly… and always with a sense of trust and a little bit of magic.

Over 15 years ago, I felt an unexplainable pull toward Reiki. At the time, I didn’t fully understand why energy healing called to me or why I felt drawn to a path guided more by intuition than by strategy. My professional background was rooted in marketing, structure, and business—but something deeper was asking to be heard.

That inner nudge led me to Marilyn Mayberry, a gifted yoga instructor and Reiki Master. In October 2011, I completed my Level 1 Reiki training and experienced my first attunement. In that moment, I felt my own life force energy awaken—and with it, a profound ability to connect with others on an energetic level.

Rather than rushing forward, my relationship with Reiki deepened slowly and organically. I practiced with family and friends, witnessing firsthand how gentle energy work could create meaningful shifts—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Reiki became not simply something I practiced but something I lived.

By 2019, my desire to honour and expand this path grew stronger. I completed my Reiki Level 2 and Master Teacher certifications, allowing me to step more fully into both healing and teaching.

Around this time, curiosity led me to seek guidance from other practitioners. My first reading with Amanda Drago affirmed what I was already feeling within: it was time to trust myself more deeply and step forward with intention.

Then came 2020. While the world paused, my spiritual growth accelerated. The stillness created space for reflection, learning, and awakening. During this time, I met Lana Zilinski, a meeting that felt divinely timed. Lana became a mentor and teacher, guiding me through all four levels of mediumship and helping expand my ability to support others through healing, clarity, and spiritual connection.

Today, SoulCalm is the result of this evolving journey—shaped by Reiki, intuition, mentorship, and lived experience.

Alongside my practice, I am honoured to volunteer as a Reiki practitioner with Hospice Waterloo Region, offering gentle energy support to individuals and families during deeply meaningful moments of life’s journey.
