If you’re an introvert, you know that being around other people for long periods of time can get exhausting!

I started my energy healing business, as an independent contractor at a metaphysical shop nearby, in 2007. It was mostly for fun but as I began to get more experience, I also became more knowledgeable about how energy worked and how we could heal it. I moved out of the metaphysical shop and started to work out of my home, teaching classes in my basement.

By 2014, it was time to expand my business. I was working as many hours as I could, with two young boys to transport around and asking my young boys to be quiet while I held sessions. It no longer seemed fair to the family. So, I looked for an office.
