From Rikers to Reiki with Karen

Send us a text

 This week is a long but it was all too good to cut! Listen in chunks or listen while cleaning the house. Just be sure to listen! I have been calmed and cared for by Karen’s energy more than a few times but getting to hear her story was an honor. To understand her path and how she got or maybe always has been a calming care presence was brilliant! Enjoy hearing how Karen went from Rikers Island to Reiki master.
