I have been keeping my own spiritual practice for over fifteen years, learning to live creatively every day and bring self-love to every moment. My path has lead me to an ever deepening connection to Mother Earth, and to remembering we are all connected to each other through her. Life is a gift and I take time everyday to remember and learn what that gift is to me, simply enjoying the small and big pleasures, or learning from what my shadow side brings forth. What I have experienced is that the deeper and more courageously I delve, the more I see there is to discover. As a healer, this is what I bring to my practice, and I encourage others to seek courageously the depths of their own hearts.

I am a Reiki master/ teacher, trained shaman, dream teacher, priestess in the Reclaiming tradition and an artist with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from San Francisco State University. I bring all these modalities and life experiences into my healing practice. I hold a place of unconditional love and support for profound healing and transformation as well as being an inspirational guide for positive life changes.

Two of my favorite books which I highly recommend are The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, by Julia Cameron and When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times, by Pema Chödrön.

Client Feedback

Reiki Clients and Students:

"Margaretta has helped me as a Reiki practitioner to release energy blocks and to gain insights into my process.  Working with my guides and hers, she has worked on an energetic level to lift and release what impedes me in making progress toward my own growth and goals.  I have appreciated both as a client and as a Reiki student her patience, her willingness to check in with me as the session progresses, her understanding, and her humor. She is wonderful about following up after sessions and is generous with her caring attention." 
Janet O. McCandless

"I am a type A personality and carry around my share of stress. Regular Reiki sessions with Margaretta leave me calm, clear, and centered. My focus feels sharper, thoughts and ideas clearer with a renewed feeling of relaxation. I highly recommend Margaretta's Reiki sessions for anyone who has difficulties with staying grounded." 
Ethan Kaplan

"Margaretta is a gifted healer. She creates a safe and nurturing environment where I feel immediately relaxed and comfortable. She is very attentive and intuitive, making each session a completely unique and transforming experience. She is a confident, experienced guide who travels with me on healing journeys. She gently opens the way for me to find the places within that are in need, and heal them. I have released old negative energies and re-integrated lost parts of myself through soul retrieval. My sessions combine Reiki with shamanic practices and I have met my spirit guides, who now play and important part in my continued healing process." 
Alison Miller

"Reiki is extremely gentle, yet surprisingly strong. Margaretta's blend of Reiki, crystal, and shamanistic healing is a uniquely powerful mix. I have received more healing and obtained more self-knowledge in 60 minutes with Margaretta than I ever had with the standard Western modalities." 
Lothlórien Homet

"When I first talked to Margaretta on the phone, I was impressed with her directness, professionalism, sensitivity - and especially her generosity in accommodating and supporting my goals. During and after three Reiki treatments and Reiki I Initiation, I continue to marvel at how she subtly facilitates profound transformations into personal expansiveness and empowerment that continue to reverberate with naturalness and inevitability. With my Reiki II forthcoming, I approach this unfolding adventure in healing, self development, and service feeling blessed to have Margaretta as mentor, guide, and friend." 
Rod Leslie

Soul Retrieval:

"With the work that I have done with Margaretta, I have gotten in touch with and brought back into myself, a part of me that I hadn't known was missing. The change has been magnificent. These sessions have influenced my life in very tangible ways. My body is feeling more fluid, my heart has opened more and I have a sense of added wisdom. The rigidity that had taken over my body, as life as a CEO, has opened me up to finding creative avenues to fill in the cracks and expand out into a new softness. Shamanic work is very powerful stuff yet, I felt incredibly safe working with Margaretta. It is very clear that Margaretta brings to every session her innate intuition, training, her personal experiences with shamanic and Reiki work and her ability to be deeply present."

Dream Work:

"Margaretta's Dream workshop is a potent combination of self-realization and fun! The work feels like play and thanks to Margaretta's expert and respectful facilitation, class members are soon giving one another valuable insights into one another's dreams. Though the four week Dream workshop with Margaretta has ended, I am happy to report that my fellow classmates and I continue to meet together once a month to share our dreams and use the tools we learned in the workshop.  I am indeed grateful for Margaretta's Dream workshop and I recommend it not only for the profound revelations I've experienced in working deeply with my own and other's dreams --  but also for the fun and creativity it inspires!"
