Story Title
Incapacitating back pain is what led me to energy healing.
I had just moved to San Francisco from New York with my daughter in 2005. My corporate advertising job was even madder than Mad Men. But the back pain was the worst of all of it. I was taking pain medication daily, doing physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage—yet nothing seemed to help. Desperate to relieve my pain and avoid surgery, I blindly signed up for a Reiki class with no idea what I was getting into.
​
Reiki not only saved me from back surgery, it gave me an unexpected experience of deep emotional healing. Right from that first class, I could feel energy shifting things in me. Learning how to heal myself and others felt like reconnecting to something familiar, something I knew but had forgotten. Not only did my pain begin to ease, but I found my relationships began changing, too. I wanted to learn all I could about the healing that I was experiencing.
​
This led me to leave my job in advertising and become a certified massage therapist in 2007. Since then, I’ve worked with hundreds of people to heal on a very deep level, always incorporating bodywork and energy work. My focus now is using the body to help people release the things that are keeping them stuck so that they can live freer, happier lives.

TESTIMONIALS
"Uplifting and Peaceful"
I received a warm welcome from Caroline when I arrived and felt instantly comfortable. We talked for a few minutes and then had a profound Reiki experience. I was deeply relaxed the whole time and arrived at a meditative state for most of the hour. Afterwards, Caroline and I spoke about the session and I beamed out of the office. The effects were lasting, uplifting and peaceful.

"Resourceful Reiki teacher"
Caroline is an incredibly resourceful, supportive and patient teacher, giving me abundant space to ask all of the many questions I had and to gain the knowledge I was seeking to one day teach Reiki myself. She also allowed me the opportunity to assist some of her Reiki I classes, which I found to be an invaluable part of my training to becoming a Teacher myself.
