Cindy M. Koppen
Holy Fire III Karuna, World Peace and Usui Reiki Master
I was first introduced to Reiki through a personal session in the year 2000. Being intrigued by the session experience and outcome, for the next ten years, I studied much about energetic healing and holistic methods. In 2010, I commenced my formal training and practiced the art of Reiki through the Usui Shiki Ryoho, the Usui System of Natural Healing, under the lineage of Hawata Takata. Janet Siniscalchi, Reiki Master, is my teacher within this lineage and has attuned me to first and second degrees, advanced level as well as mastership. In 2013, I expanded my study and practice of Reiki to include animals under the direction of Kathleen Prasad. Working with dogs, cats and horses brought a deeper understanding and connection with Reiki, as the animals themselves turned out to be the teachers! Realizing that animals do so much for us on this earth, I feel compelled to return the favor by offering Reiki to them.
My personal journey has led me to focus on helping others, offering this unique technique of natural energy healing. I enjoy assisting those interested in seeking a healthier way of life through this peaceful and gentle approach or finding a new inner path of self-discovery and expanded awareness. My mission is to offer Reiki and other holistic options to those seeking to restore balance and meaning in their lives. I have come to understand the importance of holistic healing and in doing so, I find it encouraging to see a whole spectrum of many different therapeutic choices available today for health maintenance and healing.
Over the years, I have studied other supporting modalities to augment Reiki sessions. Crystal therapy, singing bowl, tuning fork and drumming therapies and aromatherapy can enhance the energy experience by promoting deeper relaxation and stress reduction. I also use Oracle Cards (from a number of different authors) at times to bring in messages from a spiritual level which can help to bring clarity in understanding particular situations or underlying issues. Because Reiki is all about working with the highest vibrational energies in love and light from the Divine, I have high regard for angelic communications. As such, I am a Certified Angel Card Reader™ as designated by Doreen Virtue.
I was raised in the Midwest, attained a B.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in economics and became a CPA, working in the business community for years developing my private practice geared toward the small business owner. While I continue my work as a CPA, Reiki has become an important path for me to follow, offering this healing and empowering art to others.
In 2001, my family relocated to Colleyville, TX, a suburb of Dallas/Fort Worth, where I currently reside with my husband.
