She has also been a certified Reiki 1 facilitator-healer since 2008 and attended level 2 in 2016 in Portugal.
Kundalini yoga has been the most powerful tool she has come across in her journey of self discovery through all the various disciplines she practiced and trained on, for the personal experience it gave her to inspire others in the same path.
