It is my firm believe that Reiki is somehow in my genes, my instructor is also convinced that this is so, as a result of how quickly I had mastered much of the intricacies of Reiki.

I am from rural Jamaica and my maternal grandmother was a renounced midwife and healer. In those days, health care was very limited where I lived, and so persons had to rely on traditional healers.

As a child, I was often called to rub and massage persons who were in pain or other distress. So then it was not surprise that I felt myself impulsively gravitating to healing, massaging and the general well-being of others.

My interest in Reiki began in January, 2023 when I went into a bookstore and saw a Reiki book for beginners. I heard of Reiki but had never given it any deep consideration I bought the book and began reading it.

Faith would have it that the resident that I cared for, daughter is a Reiki practitioner. I told her of the book that I had bought, and we began to discuss Reiki. The daughter gave me a Reiki textbook and also gave me a session. I felt assured that it was something for me and I began attending classes. I am happy to say that I am now a Reiki practitioner.
