My Journey
In 2003 I left a highly stressful corporate job that was making me very sick. At about that time, a colleague introduced me to “energy work,” and the treatments I received intrigued, empowered, and revitalized me. Through this process, I realized that I wanted to return to helping people as I had done in the past, as a teacher, a therapist, and through 25 years of 12-Step recovery experience. Assisting others on their journeys to transform their lives, achieve their fullest potential and develop spiritually became my new vocational direction.
Footprints Holistic was born in 2004, after I completed initial studies in Reflexology and Reiki. I continue to study and develop spiritual disciplines and practice various healing modalities that deepen my own spiritual journey, enrich my practice, and enhance the services I offer to clients.
Through practicing a hybrid approach that incorporates Reiki, guided meditation, reflexology, and mentoring, I have been honored to witness the personal growth and transformation of many individuals realizing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing beyond measure. Energy therapy and spiritual counseling is an ideal combination for facilitating accelerated healing. I am very fortunate to share my passion for encouraging, empowering, and inspiring people to grow with an amazing group of clients.
As a healing facilitator, I welcome and work well with people wherever they may be on their journey from just beginning to quite experienced. I also work with many other healing practitioners on their healing paths. I am offer support to anyone who is ready to embark on the journey of transformation.
Please contact me at 781-545-2663 or ann@footprintsholistic.com to discuss how I can best assist you. I look forward to hearing from you.
