I was always a pleaser and happily obliged others. What they wanted to do, I wanted to do. Their opinion about someone or something was my opinion.
When I finally slowed down to pay attention, I found myself without a voice, without an opinion, with a lot of sadness, and a divorce under my belt. It was time for me to discover who I was. The question became how. How do I heal and reveal me?
I received my first two Reiki attunements and used those tools to dive into discovery. This opened the door to continued training in integrated energy work and crystal healing. I stepped into using these skills to serve others as a practitioner.
The key discovery I made was the importance of feeling my feelings. Feeling is healing. I learned how my mind would create resistance to feeling where my body wanted to allow the emotions to move. The energy work facilitated the release of the blockages and unlocked my heart.
As an intuitive energy and crystal healer, I provide an emotionally safe space for people to listen to what is held within, teaching them to feel in order to heal.
I am passionate about guiding others to a place of love and acceptance for who they are, the experiences they have had, and the challenges they face. Through balancing the energy within, I facilitate alignment in mind, body, and spirit. I want to inspire curiosity, shift perception, and guide transformation from the inside out.

Fall in Love with the Whispers of Your Heart: A Guide to Transformation from the Inside Out by Ann Ruane is a spiritual non-fiction work that inspires reflection, healing, courage, and a deeper sense of self. Every section explores a topic and contains a quote, reflection questions, and a mantra. The topics discussed are all-inclusive, examining different perspectives and responses to general situations. They include prayer, the need to be heard, different types of emotions, the need for connection, forgiveness, self-worth, and more. On the topic of expectations, for instance, the book explains how we set expectations and repeat the same process of achieving desired outcomes. It also draws a connection between setting expectations and facing disappointment. According to the book, expectations also rob someone of appreciating and enjoying the present.
In Fall in Love with the Whispers of Your Heart, Ann Ruane includes personal experiences that help humanize the information contained. They are also helpful in further explaining the topics. The advice contained is also insightful and caused me to see some discussions in a new way. The words in the book read like gentle nudges. The tone is friendly and inviting, not forceful. The work also encourages self-love and gentleness and contains enlightening information about healing. Other aspects of the book such as the reflection questions and mantras included make it practical. Quotes added to the discussions are eye-opening and they introduce the topics. The book is also well-researched and contains references to external sources. Fall in Love with the Whispers of Your Heart by Ann Ruane is an essential work with illuminating and helpful discussions.
