About Anne Marie
Once
there was a child made of salt. So she set out on a long journey and
traveled to many lands in pursuit of this understanding. Finally she
came to the shore of the great ocean. How marvelous, she cried, and
stuck one foot in the water. The ocean beckoned her in further saying,
"If you wish to know who you are, do not be afraid." The salt child
walked further into the water dissolving with each step, and at the end
exclaimed, "Ahh, now I know who I am."

After graduating from Texas A&M in Forest Science/Natural Resources Conservation, I began my professional career on the Umpqua National Forest in Oregon. Seven years later after a profound introduction to Reiki, my focus shifted to facilitating personal transformation. Utilizing my life-long study of spirituality and psychology, I became a massage therapist, Reiki Master, and enthusiastic advocate for yoga while training to assist others on their journeys of remembering. A passionate student of Life and human nature, I welcome exploration and inspiration with curiosity and devotion.
Under the canopy of Hatha, my yoga studies are rooted in Tantra. Workshop experiences have included: Power Vinyasa (Baron Baptiste), the Living Yoga Program, Rasa Vinyasa (Shiva Rea), Kundalini (Gurmurkh Khaur Khalsa), Qi Gong (Dr. Qian Zhi Wu), Structural Yoga Therapy (Mukunda Stiles), Hatha and Meditation (Erich Schiffman), Chakras (Seane Corn), and Anusara Yoga (John Friend) LifeForce Yoga (Certified Practitioner by Amy Weintraub), Restorative Flow Yoga (Donna Belk), and Personal Trainer Certification (AFAA).
My journey has blessed me with 3 magnificent Reiki Masters, moving through the processes twice in order to experience Reiki from different talented perspectives and energies. An Usui and Karuna Reiki Master Teacher for 5 years now, I dearly love sharing the healing power of Reiki!
Lauterstein-Conway School provided a quality, thorough experience for learning Massage Therapy, Texas RMT 028869. Numerous workshops in personal growth, facilitation, massage therapy, yoga, and complementary modalitites continue to support the universal quest for self-realization to freedom. I love sharing what I have learned from very gifted teachers in different paths to freedom and self-awareness!
I teach from that passionate, transformed place of direct experience, knowing and living Reiki and yoga's powerful metamorphic impact. My heartfelt desire and passion is to encourage and inspire exploration and development of “Our Unique Expressions of Divine Consciousness” in the direction of Oneness, Harmony, Love, Gratitude, Compassion, Freedom, and the Eternal Light of the In-Dwelling God Presence.
