Tania, where do you live?

I live in North Vancouver and my co-writer Tracy, lives in Perth, Australia.

What’s your background?

I spent several years in advertising before connecting with the holistic field of reiki and reflexology just over five years ago.

I also have an extensive background in the hospitality industry, currently managing the family Greek restaurant in North Vancouver.

Reiki is my passion and I also run my own business offering reiki sessions and classes.

What is this book about?

Reiki Vibes — Heartwarming Stories is a collection of inspiring tales contributed by reiki practitioners from around the globe, all committed to sharing the love, light and benefits of their experiences.

What did you hope to accomplish in writing this book?

Tracy and I love practising reiki and have witnessed incredible events that have transpired because of using it as a healing tool.

We feel we are in a time of great transition on our little planet and need to contribute as much positive energy as possible.

We joined together on a mission to inspire, educate and connect people to reiki. Our main method of achieving this goal was to produce a book with inspiring stories.

Who do you suggest reads this book?

I feel this book will appeal to anybody wishing to know more about how reiki works and what it is.

It covers a wide array of healing topics, including testimonials of people going through major positive life changes, stories of physical healing as well as emotional healing with the help of reiki and tear-jerking animal healing stories.
