Heidi started her bodywork journey by learning about Reiki in 2005. She found the healing energy to be very beneficial when times were challenging. Heidi is a Reiki Master and enjoys providing Reiki sessions. In conjunction with massage, Reiki assists in the body's natural healing processes. A strong desire to help people led Heidi to become a massage therapist. She attended Spa Tech Institute and received her license in 2014. The holistic massage therapy program she attended was described as "a highly transformational program particularly suited for people to awaken and use their intuition as well as increase their understanding of the whole person." Through the program, she gained Level 1 Polarity Therapy training. Polarity supports and activates the body's natural ability to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually through balancing the elemental pathways. By balancing the energy fields of the body we can experience wholeness, clarity and energy.
Also completed was a 4-day intensive training program on oncology massage therapy. This training addressed the physical consequences of cancer, side effects of treatments and the psycho-social and emotional consequences. Heidi can safely work within clinically established guidelines, given a client's unique circumstances.
Heidi's most recent training has been learning about shamanism. She has taken a 40 hour course called "The Path of the Reiki Shaman" which is Usui Tibetan Reiki and Shamanism combined. In 2023, Heidi completed a 7 month Shamanic Apprenticeship Program which was an exploration of contemporary shamanism. Munay-Ki Training, of which Heidi is trained to give the Nine Rites of the Munay-Ki, was recently attended. She works with a mesa also known as medicine stones. They help track where the heavy energy is being held in the body specifically in which chakra. Heidi can also journey on your behalf if you have a specific question, want to know your power animal or are in need of a healing.
Through the application of listening skills as well as intuition, Heidi can provide a customized session which can include, if so desired, integration of polarity therapy, Reiki and shamanism for ultimate rejuvenation. Bringing your awareness inward allows you to align physically, let go of stress and revitalize your body and mind.
