Deborah is truly stellar at what she does! When I first met with her, we discussed a few of the issues I was hoping Reiki would help me with: focus, balance, and a lifting of my spirits in general. I felt so supported, as she was so calm and focused on my healing. It was amazing to feel the warmth of the Reiki energy! It stayed with me for weeks afterward, and it started me on a healthy way of life altogether.

With over 15 years of leadership experience in the nonprofit sector, Deborah worked as the Director of Development for several distinguished arts organizations including the Paul Taylor Dance Company and The Academy of American Poets. Her association with the arts extends to her personal activities. Her work has been published in various poetry journals, including The Gettysburg Review, FIELD, and DIAGRAM. A former ballet dancer, she toured with Southern Ballet Theatre, as well as taught ballet to at-risk children.
Deborah became a Reiki Master, reflexology practitioner, and hypnotist because she wanted to support individuals in their healing, employing her personal philosophy of "balance equals true health." She's always enjoyed sharing things she's passionate about with others, and her warm personality encourages clients to feel comfortable and at ease.
