Katia

Born and raised in Bulgaria in a family that strongly believed in alternative therapies as a way to maintaining a balanced and healthy life, I remember, since young age, being interested in Chinese medicine, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, acupressure and acupuncture, energy medicine. Couple of years before coming to live in United States, I took classes in Swedish massage and was looking for a place to learn Shiatsu and Acupuncture.

In Bulgaria I learned about Reiki, and met the first Reiki Master, who brought the technique in the country. Because of curiosity, started going to treatments, and enjoyed the state of deep relaxation with no expectations. For my surprise, the really bad allergy I was having for 6 or 7 years prior, which was my only health issue, did not come back the next spring. I was so impressed! Reiki treatments were the only treatments I have had. Shortly after that, me and my family moved to United States. I continued my search, following my interests, which led me to Loving Touch Center – the first Reiki school opened in Long Island. It took me 3 years, and in 2003 I got certified Reiki Master Practitioner/Teacher.

 
Searching for a place to learn Shiatsu brought me to New York College of Health Professions where after graduating in 2008, I became licensed massage therapist.
