Let me introduce myself, my name is Bethany. I have always been interested in the not so obvious ways of the world. I started reading cards when I was about 10yrs. old. Now, 20yrs. later, I have expanded my skills & knowledge to all different kinds of helping & healing. I became interested in Reiki a couple of years ago when I was out of town at a convention. I met a lady who had a Reiki booth set up & was offering treatments. I unfortunately did not have a treatment done at that time. I didn't know what it was, how it worked, or even if it worked. I didn't know if it was worth the $30.00 she was asking. I did however pick up a brochure. I was interested. The brochure claimed help with everything under the sun from sleeplessness to chemotherapy patients. I was skeptical to say the least. I put the brochure in one of drawers at work & forgot about it. A few months later I was stressing out about work & everyday things that shouldn't be as stressful as I was making them. I was having trouble sleeping & just felt off. I have never been a big medication person, not to say that it can't be helpful sometimes, but I have chosen to be as chemical free as possible. I started looking around online for information about alternative treatments for my ailments & came across an array of choices. I then remembered my brochure put away in my drawer. I looked up Reiki & found all kinds of information from how it started to the very scientific research studies being conducted. I decided to try it. I was in love. My sleeplessness stopped & I was relaxed & calm. I felt like a weight was being lifted from my shoulders. I soon felt like a new being, a fresh new person that was happy & clear headed all the time. I felt as though I could really breath & experience life the way it should be. I decided this was it, this was what I had been waiting for. From there I realized I wanted to share this with as many people as I could. I received my Master/Teacher certification & I started to help.
