I arrived from France in 2004. My prior experience in complementary healthcare is in massage and beauty therapy. I also studied in Paris, the fantastic Touch Line Chair Massage taught by Tony Neuman.
In Tours, along the Loire Valley, while working as a mobile beauty therapist, I started to learn the French Sign Language( FSL) for extending my services to the Deaf Community.
In the meantime, my husband saw an opportunity to go to Australia for work and together we started to dream of anchoring on the other side of the spinning sphere. Our dream came true!
After a first outstanding year in Canberra, discovering the country, immersing in the culture, meeting wonderful people whose friendship and encouragements are the reasons why we are still here, I took a 3-year course at the CIT to learn the Australian Sign Language. Learning AUSLAN was a means to improve my English while learning another language. A 2-in-1 commitment, intermingling with the joyful and passionate Deaf Community.
I always sensed that we will stay longer in Australia and that I would create a business here.
Then, the Reiki found me, revealed by Sigrid, the radiant Sigrid.
I commenced study of the Usui System of Reiki in early 2008 with Australia’s largest and oldest Reiki training organisation, the Usui Reiki Network. This necessitated 50 hours of intensive Reiki tuition to cover levels 1 & 2, as well as attending reviews.
We moved to Sydney, magic Sydney.
I also met the stringent COUNCIL of AUSTRALIAN REIKI ORGANISATIONS
’ high standards for professional therapists after successfully completing their competency based training intensive for professional practitioners and I created my business.
