Testimonials~
I am so thankful to have learned to become a Reiki Master with Thea. Like a loving mother, I somehow felt so nurtured throughout the whole Reiki Training process. Through each step, each stage, I felt as if my hand was held throughout the entirety of my training.
I’m forever thankful that I chose to properly learn Reiki and take the time to truly practice, transform, and grow into the next level. If you are genuinely drawn to Reiki, or I should say, if Reiki is deeply drawn to you, I highly recommend Thea as your teacher and Guide.

When my best friend Annet was in a coma in the ICU, facing her final days, Thea stepped in as her Death Doula with extraordinary grace and wisdom. She visited multiple times to offer Reiki healing, bringing a profound sense of calm and peace to Annet—and to everyone in the room.
Her intuitive assessments were remarkably accurate; she could sense when Annet welcomed the healing energy and when she gently rebuffed it, signaling her readiness to let go. With deep kindness and clarity, Thea helped me understand what Annet might have wanted, even without words, guiding me through a very difficult and surreal time. Annet was only 51 years of age. I thought we'd have a few more decades together riding our horses and creating beautiful memories.
Thea shared thoughtful, compassionate options for honoring Annet’s life—especially embracing her Native American heritage, such as passing peacefully at home in meaningful cultural clothing rather than in a sterile hospital setting. While that wasn’t possible for Annet, the idea was beautiful and eye-opening, something I had never considered before.
Thea also connected me to an incredible network of professionals to handle everything that followed: possibilities for burial at sea, crematories, funeral homes, memorial services, and more. She transformed an overwhelming, heartbreaking process into one that felt supported, sacred, and manageable.
Thea doesn’t just provide services—she holds space with profound empathy, spiritual insight, and practical guidance. She truly is an angel sent from God for this sacred work. If you’re facing end-of-life care for a loved one (or planning for yourself), reach out to Thea without hesitation. She changed everything for me in the most healing way possible.
With Love and Gratitude,
