Tonie Sampogna
Reiki Master/Teacher

For over 20 years Tonie Sampogna has been helping people improve their health and wellbeing through a variety of alternative therapies including: Reiki, Meditation, Ear Candling and Reflexology.

Reiki, administered by "laying on hands”, is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Through Reiki techniques, Tonie helps her clients improve their health and quality of life. As a skilled Reiki Master, Tonie also shares her knowledge and experience with students wanting to learn the art of Reiki.

Through meditation, Tonie provides her clients with practical and simple techniques to help them achieve a sense of balance and stillness within. She teaches spiritual principles to her clients, empowering them to bring about positive changes in their lives.

When not working or teaching, Tonie enjoys spending time with her family, reading, ballroom dancing, yoga and travelling.

Teresa Madrid
Accredited Journey Practitioner
Founding Member of the North American Journey Practitioners Association

Teresa’s background includes a B.A. in Industrial Relations and Political Science with a post graduate Certificate in Human Resource Management.  She worked for many years in the corporate world before her own struggles with anxiety and panic attacks, and the secondary issue of alopecia, led her into the alternative field and eventually to Journeywork.  With anxiety no longer controlling her life, Teresa decided to follow her heart and work as a Journey Practitioner.  The alopecia remains, being a reminder to Teresa and all who know her that healing is a unique process for everyone and that it can be a wonderful journey in itself.

Teresa’s attentive manner and compassionate nature allow her clients to feel nurtured and safe.  This eases the path to uncover the root causes of any health, emotional or behavioral issue and completely clear it out.  A Journey session is a powerful, yet simple process that allows clients to experience insights and healing within themselves that can be life changing.
