Hi there! I'm Ari.
I'm a Arizona-born Montana-raised closeted hippie. I love being out in nature, whether that be the arid and rocky Superstition Mountains or the lush, green Rattlesnake Wilderness.
Much of my life has been spent working with children, primarily elementary and early childhood ages. I quickly developed a passion for identifying and supporting problematic behaviors in young children. It thrilled me to no end to see their growth as I was able to help their needs be met! I also pride myself in having been a go-to friend for helpful advice.
Adult or child, I love to support others!
My journey with Reiki began over a decade ago, when I suddenly had a strong impression to place my hand on a friend who was going through a rough patch. I felt a surge of warmth and love travel from my heart down my arm to my hand. I had no idea what I was feeling, but it felt important, almost sacred. I didn't know what to do with that experience, so I tucked it away in a corner of my heart, always wondering what it was that happened there.
Through the next several years, I would hear the term Reiki once or twice, not knowing what it was, nor feeling any sort of curiosity about it, until mid 2022. This impression, almost a drumbeat, came out of nowhere and rattled in my mind for months. "Study Reiki, study Reiki, study Reiki." I still had no solid idea of what Reiki was, so I asked myself "Why and how would this apply to me?" but continued to dismiss the feeling.
I finally took the leap that December and signed up for a Reiki class. I couldn't get enough! So many seemingly disconnected pieces of my life suddenly became clearer. I finally had a better understanding of what had happened that day when I placed my hand on my friend's heart.
As I looked into receiving Reiki for myself from other practitioners, I almost felt like an outsider. I didn't feel like I fit the vibe of the kind of clients other practitioners seemed to be appealing to. Looking back now, I'm sure I would've been welcomed all the same, but it got me thinking about how many other people might be feeling that same way.
With my practice, I aim to be your doorway into this healing modality. My shorter sessions are easier to fit into your busy life. They're all virtual so you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home to try something new! I believe knowledge is power so I'll always explain everything to the best of my availability. I just want you to experience what thousands of people all over the world have from a Reiki session: peace, relief, relaxation, and calm.
Whether or you stick with me or move on to a different practitioner, I'm just grateful to have been a part of your journey!
Thank you for being here!
