Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
— The prayer of St. Francis
My Life
I am a mother, wife, sister and friend. Living near the Finger Lakes in Central New York, I am most at peace when I am taking in the natural beauty that surrounds me. Oftentimes, this is walking down a quiet road or kayaking on a lake with nature’s sounds feeding my soul. Teaching children with special needs is a rewarding job that I do, but the work that truly makes my heart sing is the work I do with Reiki.
How Reiki Found Me
My first inclination that I was meant for Reiki was when my sister was dying from cancer. I felt a very strong need to have my hands on her, so I would rub her feet and legs. Even though she was non-responsive, the beautiful love that flowed between us was undeniable, deeply moving and healing. I can’t remember if it was before or after that time I had read about Reiki, but the thought stuck— “I need to do that”. I felt a calling with Reiki from my first training and have been practicing and learning for 5 years now. During my master training in Boston, I met a gentleman who volunteered doing Reiki in a hospital and I knew that’s what was next for me. I discovered that a hospital near me had a program and I immediately felt called to work with cancer patients. There I have had profound experiences that bring a deeper meaning to my life. Reiki has allowed me to truly know what love is and I would be honored to guide you to that special space - that sweet love that overwhelms us with joy, tears and gratitude.
What People Are Saying
“ A private Facebook message from Patty assisted me in this approach. I never had Reiki before so I had no idea what to expect. After fighting so long with my neurological deficits, trying Reiki has been a mind opener. Patty’s holistic energy is so calm and inviting. I feel so amazing after a treatment. My mind, body and nerves feel more in sync! ”
— Gail Duger, Baldwinsville NY (In-Person Reiki)
“I have been suffering with joint and muscle pain for years. Recently, it’s been worse and I was barely sleeping. Patty has been sending me Reiki, which I am very thankful for. I practice mindfulness during it and am able to relax.”

Clients’ Stories
“I’m 44 years old and I have two daughters, ages 4 and 10. I was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer which had spread to my liver in January 2020 and I was rocked by it like anyone would be. I’ve always been a man of strong faith so, of course, I trusted in God and knew this was part of my journey for some reason. I’m not going to lie and say there haven’t been plenty of times I’ve gotten down and/or mad, but that’s being human. However, most of the time I’m cruising through life with a smile! I had met Patty one time at my brother and sister-in-law’s Christmas party a few years ago.
When she found out I had cancer I was overwhelmed to find out that she’d offered to practice Reiki combined with our Christian faith to send me healing love through Christ. It’s working!
80% to 90% of the time I wouldn’t even know I have cancer unless someone had told me! I have lots of energy and very, very few side effects! I get a lab drawn called the “tumor marker” and it started at 317.3, then it went down to 6.2 and now it’s in the normal range of 2.9!!!! Also my last CT scan showed my tumors in my liver had shrunk by 50% and my colon is back to normal thickness! I have no doubt that God is working in and through us, and Patty’s commitment to my well being through Reiki is blessing and healing me. I feel the love and power in my everyday life and it keeps me strong. I am amazed and humbled by this gift! I’ve always believed in the power of prayer and meditation, but now… I’m living (for a long, long time) proof! ”
