Common Questions
Where are you located?
I'm based in Denver, Colorado, and all services are concierge. That means I come to you - whether in your home, a hospice setting, or other comfortable space. Some energy healing sessions are also available remotely.
What types of clients do you work with?
I work with both humans and animals—specifically those navigating physical, emotional, or end-of-life transitions. Each session is tailored to the unique needs of the client, whether they have two legs or four.
What modalities do you offer?
I offer Animal Reiki, Human Reiki, End-of-Life Support, and Acupuncture for palliative care. My work is grounded in compassion and intuition, with a focus on presence, comfort, and energetic alignment.
Animal Reiki
What is Animal Reiki?
Animal Reiki is a gentle, energy-based healing practice that supports animals' physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It can help reduce stress, support recovery, or ease transitions at end of life.
What animals do you work with?
I work with all species—dogs, cats, horses, and more. If your animal companion is in need, we can create a space for healing together.
Do I need to bring my animal to you?
No. Sessions can be done remotely or in your home, depending on your location and your animal’s needs. Reiki works beautifully across distance.
How many sessions will my animal need?
That depends on your animal's condition and goals. Some benefit from just one session; others respond best to a series. We can discuss what’s best during your free consultation.
Hospice Acupuncture
What is end-of-life acupuncture?
It’s a gentle, non-invasive approach to relieve pain, calm anxiety, and support emotional and spiritual ease during the dying process. It’s not curative—it’s comfort-focused.
What symptoms can acupuncture help with hospice and palliative care?
Acupuncture can offer gentle relief from a range of physical and emotional symptoms often experienced during serious illness or end-of-life. These include:
​
-
Pain and discomfort
-
Nausea and digestive issues
-
Shortness of breath
-
Anxiety, fear, or restlessness
-
Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
-
Emotional overwhelm or depression
-
Fatigue and low energy
-
Spiritual distress or difficulty letting go
While it doesn’t replace medical care, acupuncture is a powerful support for comfort, clarity, and peace—often helping individuals feel more like themselves in the final stages of life.
Can acupuncture be used alongside hospice care?
Absolutely. Acupuncture and Reiki complement traditional hospice services beautifully. My work focuses on comfort, clarity, and peace—never replacing medical care, but supporting it holistically.
Do you offer grief support for families?
Yes. I can provide post-transition Reiki sessions or refer you to grief counselors or support networks if needed. You’re not alone.
