  Intuitive Endeavors

  Live life calmly. People who learn to relax, gain clarity and tend to be more productive. You will learn the steps involved with quieting the mind, while reducing stress, anxiety, and pain, both physical and emotional. Relaxation lowers blood pressure, increases oxygen and blood flow, aids in digestion, stimulates production of natural hormones, such as serotonin, which improves your quality of health and mood. Meditation helps you to recognize and grasp opportunities, opens intuition and sparks creativity. Meditation and relaxation are the primary keys to limitless possibilities.Namaste~ the light in me acknowledges and appreciates the light in you.SusiPlease hire me to travel to your school or business to lead a group session in how to enhance well-being, intuituon, interaction and productivity in the classroom or workplace.

  Intuitive Endeavor

  Jan 2014 - now

  Certified Reiki Practitioner

  Reiki Energy Healing is bringing universal energy through the body and hands of the practitioner to the recipient. Commonly, light touch massage targeting acupuncture pressure points may be used to alleviate discomfort from the client. Reiki healing may also be accomplished distantly. Energy flows through the chakra system, clearing emotional and physical blockages. The technique is extremely relaxing, which is why hospitals are integrating this modality into the medical system. There is a strong need for alternative medicine to coincide with modern medical practices. Show less
