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.
