A bit about Lynne...
After nearly 70 years on this planet, I have experienced a life-time in preparation and practice for this amazing Reiki and Animal Communication work. My groundwork has included being a good friend, confidant and reciprocal teacher/ mentor to the people and animals in my life. I started out early on my teacher path and along the way discovered my healing and mentoring gifts. My life has been filled with family and friends of the human and animal kind and I have had the privilege to experience healing from them through their love and devotion. In turn, my life of service honors their love and Reiki energy.
My devotion to my spiritual path for five decades of being conscious to its purpose in my life has been varied and inclusive of many great teachers, with the one constant: staying in relationship with Divine Energy through journaling, meditation and service to others.
I want to personally thank my parents and my brothers for being my first and greatest teachers and mentors; my partner Steve for his support and unconditional love, Buddhist teachings and business guidance; and all my sweet family, my wonderful children, my amazing friends and colleagues and students, and my animal family for showing me the way of love, service, and presence.
On a personal note, Steve and I adopted a puppy in March of 2019 from the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. It had been 30 years since I had raised a puppy; 20 years for Steve. It has been an amazing time of growth and learning for all of us, as Bodhi (short for Little Bodhi Bear) has grown from an 8 week old puppy to an 73 pound five and a half year-old. Part cattle dog, golden retriever, German shepherd, and a little bit of "pitty," he is an active, happy and extremely intelligent member of our family, always keeping us active and busy along with him. He loves meditation with us in the morning, receiving and sharing Reiki, and at the end of the day when he "crashes" after 3 walks, and several toys to play with per day, the day is done and everyone's rest begins! We are blessed with this four-legged Bodhisattva in our lives!

Lynne's Reiki Credentials
Writing About Reiki
One of my Reiki inspirations when moving to Santa Fe was writing about my clients and our experiences together. My first writing "gig" was an article in the January 2016 issue of Evolving Santa Fe: A Guide for Conscious Living, "Cultivate the New Year with Purpose" (see p.11: https://issuu.com/evolving/docs/sfjan16)
From that first article I was asked to write a monthly column for the magazine, starting with my first column in May 2016. When my life got too busy from my other work in September 2017, I wrote my last column, and the magazine "sunsetted" in Santa Fe. The magazine continues with its Kansas City issues and my column articles are in the archives of their website: http://www.evolvingmagazine.com/.
In September/ October 2016, I wrote a short article for Truly Alive Magazine, "Experience Your Highest and Most Joy-Filled Life" (see p. 22: https://trulyalive.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Whole-Mag-PDF-Truly-Alive-September-October-2016-SeptOct16-web.pdf)
I was also lucky enough to help edit the bi-annual newsletter issues for KSAS (Kindred Spirits Animal Sanctuary, http://www.kindredspiritsnm.org/) in 2017. Included in that volunteer time I wrote an article for Tumbleweeds, a quarterly newspaper for Families in Santa Fe (Summer 2017), "Creature Comforts: Living and Learning With Animal Elders" (see p. 26: http://www.sftumbleweeds.com/uploads/1/2/7/6/12766116/tumbleweeds_summer2017_web.pdf). I am asked from time to time to contribute to the KSAS newsletter.
