I grew up in Woodstock, IL and after more than two decades working overseas in Asia as a global educator and corporate personal development trainer, I returned to the McHenry County area and started Reiki on the Road in my home in McHenry, Illinois.

I started reading books about Traditional Chinese Medicine and Eastern meditative philosophies including Taoism and Buddhism starting from a very young age. I've always been drawn to the wisdom of self-healing, mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, all of which are embodied within the ancient healing arts of Tai Chi, Reiki and Qi Gong. 

For more than 2 decades I consulted for The Walt Disney Company, the International Olympic Committee, and served as director for several non-profits both in the U.S. and internationally; however, it was my 10 years living and work experience in China that deeply inspired my long-held interest in the ancient Eastern meditative exercises and energy healing modalities within Traditional Chinese Medicine and Reiki. 

During the past ten years I have devoted myself fully to the field of holistic wellbeing education and services with a focus in Traditional Chinese Medicine exercise and Japanese Reiki energy healing as well as an integration of different mindfulness methods from around the globe.

I look forward to bringing the meditative and restorative effects of Reiki, Qi Gong, EFT and Tai Chi to you wherever you're located in the world.
