My Story

As a child, I grew up knowing that there was something different about me. I was very highly sensitive and felt the world around me differently than other people. I could pick up on others’ emotions when they were close to me, get gut feelings about strangers and at times know when something would happen. I was always a daydreamer and sometimes my head would get lost in the clouds. I learned very quickly that kindness and sensitivity were viewed as weaknesses; to me, they were my superpowers. I knew deep down that staying true to myself would always be the path forward for me, even when it was tough to do so. There was a time when I did get lost, but as the saying goes, all that is lost can always be found. My teenage years, young adulthood and my early twenties were spent navigating turbulent times where I did not understand my gifts as clearly as when I was younger. With the help of a few spiritual mentors and Reiki, I was able to see and accept how deeply clairsentient and intuitive I am.

My journey with Reiki started in 2017, when I was facing multiple health issues and going to school for Holistic Nutrition. A course in the program called The Psychology of Disease opened my eyes to energy medicine and showed me that I was not looking at the whole picture when it came to my body and healing. I started seeing a practitioner for hands-on Reiki sessions, which left me feeling clearer and more balanced. At the time, I had a deep sense that Reiki would be a big part of my future healing. Which still continues to this day.

I took my first class in 2020, after a very traumatic experience with my mental well-being. At the time, I felt powerless, severely depressed and anxious, disconnected and exhausted at my soul level. My experience with Level 1 and 2 classes left me feeling loved beyond measure, supported and held. I felt guided to continue working with this beautiful energy that I've discovered, which led me to take more classes and go deeper. Since then, I have completed Usui/Holy Fire® III World Peace, Reiki Master ICRT Animal Reiki Level 1 & 2, ICRT Animal Reiki Master and Holy Fire® III Karuna Reiki® Master certification training.

After a few years of consistently practicing Reiki, I felt a calling to share it with others and opened Wild At Heart Wellness in 2023, offering Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki sessions to people outside of my friends and family.

The Holy Fire® is a spiritual energy that creates wholeness through healing, empowerment, purification and guidance. ​

The “holy” of Holy Fire energy is not intended to have a religious meaning, but goes back to the word’s root, which means whole and complete. It is a beautiful, powerful, loving, profoundly healing and very gentle energy. It is a form of energy that comes from a higher level of consciousness, connecting all living things and the planet. This transformational energy has been helping me through challenging and uncertain times.

I continue to work with Holy Fire® energy every day. My practice is also continually evolving with its loving guidance. I believe it holds so much profound potential not just for ourselves but for everyone around us. To me, Reiki is not just a practice; it's a spark of hope towards global healing and harmony.

  • She has really helped my back pain and my mood!

    I was initially a little skeptical when my friend suggested I try a remote Reiki session with Elvira for my lower back pain, but I decided to give it a try. She started our session with a phone call asking me about my areas that I wanted her to address, then told me to get into a comfortable position. Very soon I began to feel a warmth in my feet that moved up through my body. The session lasted about 45 minutes. When I got up my back was not as painful, and it continued to improve over the next few days.

  • My Reiki sessions with Elvira were surprisingly relaxing!

    She guided me through the process, providing proper music, and a calming voice. She genuinely wishes to help you find a better and more informative approach to self healing. In today’s chaotic lives we sometimes need help to see a quieter path.
