I am a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner offering gentle, heart-centered energy healing sessions to support emotional balance, stress relief, and holistic well-being. My work is shaped by a deeply personal journey of introspection, awareness, and self-transformation.

From a young age, I was deeply attuned to the emotions and energies around me. At the time, I lacked the language and tools to understand or hold their intensity. What I now recognize as a natural sensitivity and intuitive gift once left me absorbing more than I could process.

Even as a child, feeling everything so deeply quietly shaped my inner world. It gave rise to limiting beliefs, a fragile sense of self, and a tendency to silence my truth to feel safe and connected. To cope, I prioritized the needs of others, gradually losing touch with my own boundaries and falling into patterns of people-pleasing that followed me into adulthood.

A Turning Point Toward Healing

Neglecting my own self-care eventually led to health challenges, amplified by ongoing anxiety and stress. By 2017, I felt deeply disconnected, overwhelmed, and exhausted — spiritually, mentally, and physically. Tired of merely surviving and of burying my light beneath layers of doubt and fear, I made the conscious decision to turn inward and begin a journey of self-discovery and healing, initiating my path toward holistic wellness.

On this journey, I had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of practitioners in support of my own well-being. Yet it wasn’t until I discovered the profound healing potential of Healing Touch that I began to unravel the emotional and energetic blocks that had held me back.

I believe healing is a deeply personal and unique journey.

Discovering Healing Touch

Through this transformative energy healing modality, I began shedding layers of conditioning and self-doubt. I learned to honor my own needs, uphold healthy boundaries, and prioritize self-care. Healing Touch helped me shift stuck energy and reconnect with inner balance, restoring a sense of clarity, resilience, and inner strength that ultimately guided me, in 2020 amidst the challenges of the pandemic, toward becoming a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner.

My Ongoing Healing Journey

My awakening journey has not been linear, and the work of self-discovery and healing has often felt messy. With deep gratitude, I acknowledge the challenges along the way, knowing they have shaped the person I am today. With each step forward, I have reclaimed lost pieces of myself — my vitality, my voice, and my purpose — gradually reconnecting with the essence of who I truly am.

I have learned to listen to the whispers of my heart, honor my body’s wisdom, and embrace the full spectrum of my being. My journey continues, and I walk it with humility, curiosity, and a commitment to embodying the insight gained along the way.

How I Support Clients

Today, through Alma Luna Alchemy, I bring this lived experience, presence, and insight into every Healing Touch session, holding compassionate, grounded space for others to reconnect with their inner guidance, balance, and vitality. My practice is rooted in empathy and informed by the ethical guidelines, professional standards, and scope of practice of the Healing Touch modality.

While all healing is self-healing, you do not have to walk your path alone. Each session is offered with care and respect, meeting you exactly where you are and supporting your body’s innate capacity for balance and restoration.

I believe that in stillness, we can each unlock our natural healing potential and uncover the radiant treasure of our inner gold. Through gentle, heart-centered Healing Touch sessions, I support you in reconnecting with your own wisdom, clarity, and wholeness — allowing what is ready to shift to do so in its own time.

Together, we create space to soften, release, and listen deeply. My intention is not to “fix,” but to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your authentic self, illuminating your path forward and shining more fully as the soul spark you are — and, in doing so, bringing more light into the world.

 

With Gratitude, Love and Healing Light,

A HEART-CENTERED HAVEN WHERE THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF HEALING TOUCH

AWAKENS THE INNATE RESTORATIVE WISDOM OF MIND, BODY, AND SOUL.

Alma Luna Alchemy draws its inspiration from my deep reverence for the moon's

ever-changing phases, symbolizing the rhythmic dance of energy in our lives.

 

I believe these lunar cycles reflect the ebb and flow of both our conscious and unconscious selves,
guiding us towards greater awareness and
transformative alignment with our highest most authentic light.

If your heart feels called, you’re warmly invited to reach out, explore Healing Touch, and discover what may be possible on your path toward balance and wholeness. I’m here to walk with you, one step at a time.
