      The first 25 years of my nursing experience were devoted as a clinical RN in the operating room. Over the past 15 years, I advanced my education and career in perioperative services leadership. I have also been a Reiki Master for 22 years and I never lost my dream to create an energy program for everyone rather than a select few who attend an energy healing education program. My books can be purchased at Amazon as well as my website. Education classes are offered and extensive passive learning modules are actively under construction. WWW.SOZOKI.COM Show less
