Paula was initially introduced to Reiki when her beloved dog Shotzy, who was rapidly aging, became ill. It was suggested to her that she could learn Reiki and provide her cherished canine with the gift of healing light. After witnessing the healing effect that Reiki had on Shotzy, she was thoroughly convinced to continue on her path to enlightenment by furthering her understanding of the technique. Lighting a passionate fire deep within, Paula was determined to reach the furthest heights of Reiki mastery. Inspired to expand her knowledge of the practice, Paula set forth on her exploration, traveling through the levels of Reiki towards her ambition of eventually becoming a master practitioner. On her journey, she studied under some of the world’s most influential Reiki teachers, including William Lee Rand, founder and president of The International Center for Reiki Training, The Center for Reiki Research and The Reiki Membership Association.

Reiki has also had an extraordinarily positive effect on Paula’s own physical and emotional being.

Additionally, the presence of Reiki in her life has enabled Paula to achieve a higher vibration that is filled with positive energy, love and enlightenment. Prior to her journey into the wonderful world of Reiki, Paula worked at Lorenzo’s Restaurant in Tacoma, Washington for over 28 years, many of which she spent as the owner and manager, after purchasing the business.

While successfully running the restaurant for many years, she was blessed with the good fortune of getting to know a diverse range of fascinating people, leading to an abundance of lifelong friendships and associations. From there, she spent some time as a receptionist, during which time she was able to further hone her communication skills.
