Soon she was introduced to Yoga, QiGong, Tai Chi, Alexander technique, therapeutic massage, and healing touch. When she looks back, she realized she knew the power of touch since she was a child and has been using it for self-healing through all her life. Now she can call it Reiki. She loves teaching ( she teaches piano and yoga). She recognized the teaching as her life mission, so she completed her certification as a Reiki Master Teacher through Maryland Center for Reiki Training and became a new addition to the MDCRT teaching staff.
