"Fair winds and following seas."
- A sailor's blessing for good fortune and a safe journey.
Water has always been my refuge—a place where I could breathe more deeply, feel more grounded, and reconnect with something greater than myself. As an ESL instructor, I had the joy of living abroad and teaching on cruise ships that sailed across the globe. The sea became both my classroom and my companion, gently shaping my worldview and deepening my appreciation for those who navigate life’s unpredictable currents.
When it came time to name my Reiki practice, I wanted something that reflected the peaceful, steadying energy that Reiki and mindfulness had brought into my life. I kept returning to the feeling of being near the ocean—calm, held, and expansive. That’s when Fair Winds Reiki & Mindfulness came to life.
Fair Winds began with a simple mission: to share the healing tools and soul-deep shifts that helped me move from survival mode to a life of clarity, presence, and purpose. I remember thinking after my first Reiki experience, “Why didn’t I know this existed?” And if I didn’t know, surely there were others still searching for peace, healing, and a path back to themselves.
Today, Fair Winds is more than a practice—it’s a safe harbor. A space where you’re invited to slow down, reconnect, and be fully yourself. Whether you're here to rest, to heal, to create, or to explore, you are welcome.
