reGround with Reiki
I’ve been passionate about energy work and the chakras for the last 15 years, and that connection has shaped my journey—including my move from Ontario to Nova Scotia.
Before becoming an RMT, I started my first business, Balancing Burnout, offering virtual energy readings to help people tune into their chakras and find balance.
Energy work is a great tool for self-care, helping you connect with your energy, sort through stress, and check in with yourself—especially during times of change. It’s also helpful to keep your therapy team in the loop, as Reiki and energy work can complement other forms of care. If you're looking for professional therapy, feel free to check out my resource page for guidance in finding the right support.
I also put together a Journey of the Chakras video to go along with the basics of chakra energy. It’s a great way to get a feel for them before your session, but of course, I’d love to answer any questions you have—I’m kind of, sort of, really passionate about them!
Reiki + The Chakras
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful way to shift energy, bring balance, and support your mind–body awareness.
My focus is on the chakras—your body’s natural energy centres—and on holding space for you, creating a relaxing, insightful, and mindful experience.
In this no-contact treatment, I work intuitively with your chakra system, scanning your energy from head to toe with my hands placed just above each area. I follow the natural flow and pace of your energy, tuning into what’s present and what may need support.
Think of it as a chakra reading blended with Reiki. I’ll act as your energetic navigator, moving through your energy map and gently guiding you back into balance. Along the way, I’ll share insights about any restrictions or imbalances I notice—especially how they connect to your body, emotions, and everyday life.
Gentle Reiki shifts unfold throughout the session, bringing clarity, calm, and a deeper awareness of what’s happening beneath the surface. You’re welcome to audio record the session on your phone so you can revisit and reflect afterward.

Chakra 101
Chakras are amazing tools for balance and intuition. Anytime I feel off—emotionally, mentally, or spiritually—I check in with mine to see what’s up and reset. If I’m leaning too far one way, I do what I can to bring things back to center.
We’re not meant to be perfect, but we can find our own version of balance—that sweet spot where we feel happy and healthy. Chakras help us navigate that, like a built-in guide to our well-being.
Whether you’re here because we’ve talked about chakras during your massage sessions or you’ve booked an online session with me, know that your chakras are the powerhouse of your aura—like a thermometer, always shifting and reflecting where your energy’s at.
Check out the list and see how it connects to you—your energy, your experiences, and where you might need a little more balance.
Above is a video I created—an audio-visual expression of the chakras. It's a great form of mindfulness, inviting you to check in with yourself and see how you feel.

RMT + Clairvoyant Empath + Reiki Practitioner
I’m the owner and Registered Massage Therapist at reGround Massage in Truro, Nova Scotia.
My focus is pain relief, from light tissue work for chronic pain to medium and deep tissue techniques. I love slowly working through the onion layers of tension—“Ogres are like onions... They have layers.” (Shrek, anyone?)
While massage therapy is one of my major passions, so is being a light worker, working with subtle energy.
Lifelong learning in anatomy and energy work truly brings peace and balance to my life.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Chakra Readings are NOT a form of therapy. While I have a social work background with a BSW, I’m not a counselor or therapist—it’s outside my scope of practice. I’m here as a guide, helping you see what might be in your energetic blind spot. Please see my therapy resources page:
