Hi, I’m Desiree! I’m a certified Level II Holy Fire® III Usui Reiki Practitioner and intuitive healer based in Culver City, Los Angeles. I offer Reiki sessions both in person and at a distance, and I facilitate Chakra meditation experiences in West LA.

For the past eight years, I’ve been deeply devoted to my own healing and spiritual journey. Along the way, I’ve immersed myself in trauma-informed psychology, nervous system and somatic healing, identity and shadow work, and spiritual and energetic practices. These experiences shape the way I hold space for others — with compassion, presence, and deep respect for each person’s unique process.

My background also includes formal study in psychology. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with a minor in Applied Psychology. My academic training gave me a strong foundation in human behavior, emotional processing, and relational dynamics, which continues to inform the way I approach healing work today.

Before stepping more fully into my work as a practitioner, I gained experience working in a variety of environments — including supporting children with developmental disabilities, caregiving and nannying, and working in corporate and assistant roles. Each of these experiences deepened my understanding of people, relationships, and the many ways stress and life circumstances impact our emotional and nervous systems.

Alongside these professional experiences, much of my learning over the past eight years has come through self-education, embodiment practices, and deep personal healing work. Meditation and chakra work have been central to my path since 2019 and continue to be some of the most powerful tools in my own healing and self-connection.

In 2025, I received my Level I and II Reiki placements and continued deepening my spiritual practice. Reiki became a natural extension of the work I had already been doing — offering a way to support others through energy, presence, and intentional space-holding.

My sessions blend traditional Reiki with intuitive guidance, creating a calm and supportive space where your body and energy can relax, release, and realign naturally.

I believe healing happens when we reconnect with our own inner wisdom. My intention is simply to hold a safe, grounded container where that process can unfold within yourself.
