Reiki and Sound Therapy, Tarot

Andrea works with vocal sound-healing intuitively using the vibrations of her voice to assist the free flow of energy, soothing, relaxing, energizing, and releasing tension. She also teaches others to use their voices for their own and others’ healing.

The Tarot cards, colorful and evocative, use the law of synchronicity. The cards picked at a certain moment mirror one's own inner knowing, helping to clarify the current process. It is wonderful for answering questions, for centering in the midst of chaos, for showing ourselves what we know but don't realize we know. She is the author of Lightning Holds My Hand, a spiritual memoir.
