About Me

My Story

​

I am a Registered Practical Nurse (on sabbatical) and Reiki Grand Master Teacher/Practitioner. I am also an instructor at Crystal Tree Reiki School, where I instruct others in the practice of how to do Reiki.

I am very drawn to healing modalities. I enjoy being able to help better people heal more holistically and naturally to achieve their health and wellness goals.

In early 2018, I was introduced to Reiki and its benefits. What intrigued me was that Reiki could be done regardless of where the Practitioner and Client were. Reiki complimented my nursing skills, so I decided to learn to further help my nursing patients at the time on a deeper level.

Due to Reiki and its many benefits, I was able to help nursing patients, myself, and my family manage stress, illnesses and other things that arose.

By practising and instructing Reiki I have been able to help people achieve their wellness goals. I look forward to connecting with you to see how I can help you restore and revitalize your mind and body.

I had such a wonderful Reiki experience with Samantha. I felt at times where she was working on me and had incredible visions. I felt very relaxed and at peace. She cleared a few blockages with me and I believe relieved a lot of head tension. She told me to drink plenty of fluid to help release the toxins and followed up. :) I would definitely recommend this wonderful experience to others.

I had an amazing Reiki session with Samantha. I am also Reiki Practitioner so I had some expectations. She exceeded them!! This session was full of relief in ease. Samantha was so kind even reminded me of our appointment as life’s crazy right now. I would hands down recommend Samantha for a Reiki session!! Straight magic!! Thank you so very much Samantha you will never know how much help this was for me!!

I have taken Reiki Level 1 and Reiki Level 2 with Samantha and the whole experience has been wonderful. She is prompt with answering any questions that I may have or give advice on anything. I had my level 2 attunement the other day and it was magical. I know we all experience different things, at one point it was like all my chakras were lighting up one by one in a line up and down my body, the colors so bright and lovely. Wonderful experience overall. I would recommend for both Reiki sessions and learning Reiki. She is great. Thanks again Sam

A little about me.....

 

I am a wife and mother of 2, one being Special Needs (Autistic). 

 

I understand the struggle of balancing personal/home life with work with life.

FAQs

What should I expect from an in-person session?

We would begin by having a conversation about your expectations from the session and what you would like to see improved in your body, mind and life. Detailed notes are taken so your progress can be monitored. Any questions you have will be answered then.


You will then lie down on a treatment table, fully clothed. Your comfort will be ensured before the session begins. A pillow, bolster and blanket are provided as necessary. Soft relaxing music will play in the background unless otherwise stated.

​

As your practitioner, I will set the intention that your body will draw in the Reiki energy needed to balance and heal for your highest good. I will then begin by holding my hands in various positions above your body. The session can be conducted in silence, or soft relaxing music can be played. The sensations that a person receives during a session varies. Some people fall asleep while others notice thoughts coming and going. Feeling heat and/or cold during the session is common.


When the session is complete, I will quietly let you know and have you take your time as you focus on the present. I will provide you with a glass of water and answer any questions that arose during the session.


There is no set number of Reiki sessions required and if you have an intuitive sense of when a session is required, please listen to that. Rather than waiting until something ails you, it is recommended to receive Reiki to help you not only survive but thrive.

What should I expect from a distant session?

For distant session we would discuss prior to session either by email, phone or video conference expectations from the session and what you would like to see improved in your body, mind and life. Detailed notes are taken so your progress can be monitored. Any questions you have will be answered then.

You (the client) would then find somewhere quiet to lie down to ensure you will not be disturbed for the length of session. As your practitioner, I will set the intention that your body will draw in the Reiki energy needed to balance and heal for your highest good. I (the Practitioner) will then begin doing hand movements as though you were here. Some people fall asleep while others notice thoughts coming and going. Feeling heat and/or cold during the session is common.

Once the session is complete, I (the practitioner) will send by either email, phone or video conference what was noticed during the session. Drinking a glass of water is recommended after receiving a distant session to help move energy and start flushing out toxins. Water will also help you feel more present and grounded. During either the email, phone or video conference any questions will be answered about findings.

How to prepare for session and what to do after?

What to do before a Reiki session:

1. Relax and reflect.

Give yourself 30 minutes prior to the session to sit and reflect. Do a check in with how your body is feeling and take note of any emotions, thoughts, or physical sensations you are experiencing.

Something that could be done is reflect on any intention you want to set for the session, and anything you want to share with your practitioner before you begin.

2. Eat and hydrate.

Be sure to eat and hydrate a few hours before the session, so you will not distracted by hunger or thirst.

Avoid eating a heavy meal beforehand. You don’t want all of your body’s energy to be directed toward digesting while you’re receiving your session.

3. Get comfortable.

Most practitioners have you laying down for the majority of your session, since comfort is key if you want to be open to taking on and intergrating the Reiki energy.

Be sure you are wearing loose and breathable clothes.

You’ll also want to use the restroom before the session. If the position you are in for your session is uncomfortable in any way, communicate this to your practitioner, as they will also want to be sure you are as relaxed as possible.


What to do after a Reiki session:

1. Integrate.

The benefits of Reiki can occur soon after the session ends, so important to find somewhere quiet and relaxing to integrate what may arise for anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes.

2. Eat and hydrate (again!)

Important to hydrate after doing any energy work. Be sure to drink 1-2 glasses of water after your session.

Energy work can make you hungry. Be sure to listen to your body and choose a healthy snack or meal afterward if needed. Eating can also help ground the body and as a bonus, you may find that piece of dark chocolate tasty and helpful after energy work.

3. Reflect

Helpful to spend some time after the session reflecting—whether by journaling, drawing, or somehow capturing any insights you had during the experience.

4. Contact your practitioner if challenges arise.

Reiki is extremely gentle and yet, since energy blockages are being cleared in the body during a session, discomfort can arise. Some report they feel lighter, happier. Some feel energized, some feel tired. You could feel ‘off balance’ physically or emotionally, especially in the first 24 hours.

Over the next few days or week you may notice subtle or not so subtle changes in mood, energy levels, reactivity to events and to those around you.

Find out what the best way is to contact your practitioner and get in touch if anything should arise after your session.

What is a Reiki Attunement?

Reiki is transferred to the student by the Reiki Master during an attunement process. What the attunement does is open up the student energetic system to allow energy to flow more efficiently.

The Reiki attunement is a powerful spiritual experience. The attunement energies are channeled into the student through the Reiki Master. Reiki Master imprints some sacred Reiki symbols into the students aura and into the students chakras. The Reiki Master touches the students hands and open up palms so that the students hands become more sensitive. There is usually some sacred breath work as well.

Once the student has received a Reiki attunement, the student will have Reiki for the remainder of their life. It does not wear off and you can never lose it. One attunement is all the student needs for each level.

The Reiki attunement can start a cleansing process that affects the physical body as well as the mind and emotions. Toxins that have been stored in the body may be released along with feelings and thought patterns that are no longer useful.

This why attunements are crucial in becoming a Reiki healer.
