Geneva is a Reiki Master, wife, mother, scientist, scholar, and basically a student of Divine Wisdom wherever she can find it. She reads continually on how to improve the spirit-mind-body connection and then discovers that it is all perfect and surrenders it all to the Divine, sits back, and watches miracles happen. She studied ecology as part of her formal academic training, which gave her the much needed stamina and perseverance that she would need to build her second career in helping people connect to their Divine-selves. She sees patterns in the chaos and she sees chaos underlying too much order. She is a student of the Tao Te Ching, the Gnostic Gospels, the Dhammapada, and, of course, Reiki. She completed her Reiki courses in 2007, but she is a per-petual student of Reiki itself. Her curiosity into the nature of reality and how Reiki fits into it all is a lifetime course she happily takes every day. She lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in between the trees of the Rocky Mountains and the dinosaurs of the Badlands. She loves walking in nature with her husband and son, sipping tea with her friends, and wandering through bookstores and coffee shops. She owns too many books.
