Hello, I'm Kristen
Welcome to a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing! As your dedicated guide, I'm not just a certified Reiki Master Teacher and Energy Healing Practitioner; I am a beacon of empathy and understanding. At Palo Alto Reiki, I've crafted more than a space; it's a sacred sanctuary where your self-healing unfolds without judgment or force. I don't view you as broken because you're not; none of us are. My mission transcends fixing – it's about empowering you to realize your innate strengths: inner wisdom, personal power, self-expression, love, creativity, a solid foundation, and divine guidance.
Throughout my life, I've navigated a series of profound challenges that shaped my spirit and resilience. Overcoming emotional, physical, and mental hurdles led to a deep spiritual awakening during my recovery from a life-altering accident. This pivotal moment inspired a significant change, steering me away from over two decades in corporate marketing to a more fulfilling path as a Reiki Healer. Now, with an open heart, I offer Reiki Energy Healing to those facing personal struggles. As your guide, I am committed to sharing my insights and supporting your unique journey. Together, we can overcome life's challenges, uncover your inner strength, and inspire confidence and empowerment.

Guiding Principles
As an Energy Healer, my mission is to channel Reiki life force energy, alleviate blockages, and foster an unimpeded energy flow within each client's body, thereby nurturing self-healing for their highest good. I approach each session without expectation or attachment to outcomes, trusting in the benevolent guidance of the Universe.
