I'm your dedicated Reiki Womb Healer and the creator of Make A Baby™ programs. I've supported over 100 women in conceiving through fertility treatments & natural conception—by healing emotional wounds, clearing energetic blocks, and activating the womb with Reiki.
The healing we do isn’t just for conception—it’s how we become the mothers who change everything for the generations to come. I invite you to explore this blog as a space for insight, connection, and transformation on your journey to motherhood.
